Exclusive Private Africa Safaris
Exclusive Private Africa Safaris
We have partnered with Safari Drive, owned and operated by Meregan Turner and Charles Norwood. Together they pioneered the self drive safari experience in 1993, and have worked tirelessly on improving the experience ever since. Charles and Meregan share the same sense of adventure and passion for Africa as we do. We sought out Safari Drive some years ago to help outfit us for a personal trip through East Africa. We fell in love with their ideas and attention to detail, Safari Drive embodied everything in a safari company we had wanted to find for many years. Over the following years and after many conversations and meetings we are proud to now be part of the Safari Drive family.
What is Safari Drive?
The unique and versatile answer to an independent African safari.
Safari Drive organizes private, tailor-made, self drive safaris throughout Africa. This unique style of safari allows for a level of adventure that is simply not catered for by traditional companies. We give you the chance to go off and explore the wilds of Africa whilst maintaining a high level of security and back-up on the ground. There are few experiences to match the thrill of waking up in your own private camp, with not a soul for miles around you, in some of the most sensational locations in the world.
It could be the heart of Oman's Empty Quarter, East Africa's magnificent Great Rift Valley, a secluded lagoon in Botswana's Okavango Delta or a dramatic kopje in Namibia's Damaraland wherever you choose to go, we will provide you with the means to experience the very best that this staggeringly beautiful continent has to offer.
How it all began.
Increasingly frustrated by the constraints that modern tourism imposes, Safari Drive pioneered self drive safaris in 1993. Safari Drive started organizing self drive trips from Victoria Falls. The demand for this fresh approach to African travel meant that we were soon expanding the portfolio of countries in which we operate. We now organize Safari Drive journeys in Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia and, most recently, Oman.
Forget all the safari clichés!
With Safari Drive, you leave the world of 'off the shelf' safaris far behind you. Your experience will be a far cry from zebra-striped mini buses and hoards of tourists clustered around a single bewildered lion. Instead, you take to the road in your own private, fully equipped vehicle. Your bookings will be secured, your route planned and you will be armed with a fantastic itinerary that we would have created with you before your departure.
