Our Company was established in 1998 to show guests, less visited and magical parts of Southern Africa, we specialize in tailor made tours often for as little as two people, this allows great personal service from our knowledgeable guides and enables guests to do as they please.

We are not time bound and can spend extra time at a waterhole to get that special photograph.

Self drive tour.

South Africa is an ideal country for self drive car hire. To hire a car in South Africa is like stepping back 30 years.

The roads are un congested few motorways just good old fashioned A roads. From Port Elizabeth to the Tsitsikamma National Park is 100 miles 160 km's there is little traffic, no traffic lights and at legal speeds the journey is less than an hour and a quarter.

The roads are well maintained we drive on the left hand side of the road. and petrol is around 4 Rand per litre 1/4 of the price in the U. K.
