Self-drive tours are an excellent option for travellers who enjoy a sense of independence and flexibility and are an increasingly popular way to explore Southern Africa. African Travel Gateway’s self-drive holidays have been specially designed with the independent and adventurous traveller in mind. So if you enjoy the freedom of being able to stop when you want to and spend a little more time at an interesting attraction, then a self-drive tour may be the ideal choice for you. We take care of all of the planning and organizing for you so it’s as simple as flying in, collecting your pre-booked rental vehicle, loading your bags and going.

Self-drive holidays are typically a very economical way to explore a region. Our itineraries are thoughtfully planned to take in as many highlights as possible while keeping each day’s drive time to only the necessary minimum. So your precious holiday time is utilized wisely and not spent driving for days on end, and there is also ample time to relax and see the sights. Planning for each day of your tour is easy as African Travel Gateway assists you by providing approximate travel times and distances between destinations. Reserves and national parks only accessible by four-wheel drive vehicles are also not a problem. Just park your rental car, and join a guided tour pre-booked by African Travel Gateway. We have all bases covered so you won’t miss anything.

We used African Travel again for the second time over Xmas and New Year. Once again, every little bit of our trip ran smoothly and without a hitch. Their communication was great throughout and we will, no doubt, be returning to them in the future too. Thanks Petru.

We had the most amazing time on our self drive tour of Namibia organised through African Travel Gateway. Everything from the planning and booking process, to the arrival and welcome in Windhoek, to the app with the itinerary and directions made for a really relaxed and well organised holiday. But the most important part was getting to experience Namibia - what a spectacular country! The only negative was that we should have booked for longer!
