About us

What we do

We design and organise self-drive, mobile and fly-in safaris in Botswana and southern Africa

With its solid experience of self-drive 4×4 safaris and in-depth knowledge of the terrain, Tawana Self Drive can help you design, prepare and run your trip, giving personal attention at every stage, from the first contact to your return!

What we do

  • Route designing
    We work hand in hand to define the itinerary that suits you best, thanks to our know-how and attention to your needs. The success of your project is our priority!

  • 4×4 rentals
    On a self-drive safari, the quality of the vehicle is crucial. We rely on a network of professional partners, and we know how to find the best compromise between performance, comfort and budget.

  • Booking of campsites * or lodges
    We are an independent travel agency and work with all tourist facilities without any particular affiliation. Our recommendations have the sole aim of giving you the best travel experience.

  • Booking of activities
    We can offer you packages that include transfers and activities, or give you the choice of finalising certain details of your trip.

  • Organisation of guided mobile safaris or fly-in safaris
    We are self-drive safari experts but we also know how to combine different type of safaris and will help you to discover different facets of southern Africa!

  • Production of customised roadbooks and map guides
    Our mission is also to provide our customers with the best possible communications. We produce our own content, based on our expert knowledge of the ground, and deliver accurate, precise and up-to-date information. Our advantage? We live on the spot and we do regular scouting!

  • 7/7 assistance
    It’s often reassuring to have a single point of contact when you need help. That’s why we’re happy to help you 7 days a week during your stay.

Our philosophy

A well-balanced, high-quality, tailor-made holiday

Because we don’t all have the same idea of what travel is, we build unique holidays to suit our guests’ personalities.

We don’t look for the most attractive price, preferring to focus on the intrinsic value of your trip by offering something that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in today’s world: freedom, tranquillity, vast open spaces, unspoilt ecosystems and intimacy. Our credo: slow down, observe and empathise!

We value quality and experience over quantity and price. That’s why we give priority to accommodation and campsites for their geographical location and for what they bring to the trip, while taking care to respect the budget you entrust to us.

Also:

  • A personal relationship with our customers, based on an honest, attentive and knowledgeable approach that helps to create solid links and a trusting environment.

  • Reactivity and flexibility in designing and organising your trip

  • A total commitment to the success of your stay

* Our booking service for campsites, accommodations, transfers and activities are only available when renting a 4×4 with us.

Due to their knowledge of the region Tawana Self Drive provided advice on alternative areas to visit and accommodation, which turned out to be much better than our own choices!
