Vacation time should be relaxing – not spent worrying about your driving range or whether you’ll reach the next charging point. Our carefully planned routes across some of the most scenic parts of South Africa eliminate these concerns, letting you focus on enjoying your journey and ensuring your electric journey continues smoothly. All vehicle charging costs are built into our travel packages, eliminating unwanted ‘fuel bills’ and additional expenses.

We have selected eco-conscious accommodation options equipped with EV charging stations, allowing your vehicle to power up while you rest and relax. This thoughtful pairing of sustainable lodging and charging convenience ensures you keep treading lite while you encounter unique experiences that match your preferences, interests and expectations.

Ensuring a worry-free charging process

The charging capabilities and driving range of electric vehicles have seen dramatic improvements in recent years, making them increasingly practical for longer self-drive vacations. Charging in South Africa is seamless thanks to user-friendly RFID cards and mobile apps. Better yet, we’ve included all charging costs in your travel package, eliminating unexpected expenses during your journey.
