Our favourite road trip ideas in Southern Africa
With its ever-changing scenery, dramatic coastlines, quaint small towns and abundance of open spaces, Southern Africa is one of the world's best road trip destinations. With their intimate knowledge about the different regions of Southern Africa, our Lightfoot Travel specialists can put together a tailor-made road trip just for you.
The good highway infrastructure in Southern Africa makes it a boon for self-drive enthusiasts. Go on an adventure that takes you from Cape Town along the Garden Route and on to Port Elizabeth. Along the way, make pit stops for whale watching, nature hikes and game drives. Head to the Winelands to sample South Africa’s top drops.
Embark on a road trip through Namibia and Botswana and experience the dramatic change in scenery from the desert of Skeleton Coast, to the bush of Okavango Delta, and then onto the majestic Victoria Falls.

Nico Heath organised everything for us and was very responsive and helpful with ideas and suggestions.
