Self Drive

With our self-drive safaris, you drive your own 4×4 vehicle (or hired vehicle) and experience an adventure of a lifetime. You will be led by a fully equipped vehicle and team. Our team will look after you and assist you where necessary every step of the way. The Makushe self-drive safaris are perfect for the traveler that seeks adventure but lacks the experience of traveling in Africa.

If you do not have your own 4×4 vehicle, we can assist with hiring a suitable vehicle.
