With so much on offer across the length and breadth of the country, South Africa is the perfect African self-drive destination. Begin your journey in the iconic Kruger National Park, where the park and surrounding private reserves promise unrivaled Big 5 encounters in a true African wilderness. The Drakensberg Mountains, marking the border between South Africa and Lesotho, offer hiking and outdoor enthusiasts the opportunity to enjoy a variety of mountain trails with breathtaking vistas. The region’s mountain passes and farm tracks take you through the Natal Midlands where cultural treasures await, offering a perfect blend of nature and history.

Neatly tucked below Eswatini, the north coast of KwaZulu-Natal offers a remote cultural experience with pristine golden beaches and the warm Indian Ocean. Inland reserves like Hluhluwe/iMfolozi Game Reserve and the Tembe Elephant Park offer a true bush and beach combination. Beyond Durban and the South Coast, The Wild Coast beckons with its untamed beauty, inviting you to explore pristine beaches and immerse yourself in the rich traditions of local communities. While the coastal roads are rugged, the Jimny is perfectly at home in this region, allowing you to discover this remote part of South Africa.

Further along the coast towards Cape Town, the enchanting Garden Route, a meandering coastal stretch adorned with lush forests, ancient caves, and charming towns. While most only scrape the surface of what the Garden Route offers, having our compact 4×4 rentals allows you to take the road less traveled, exploring almost the entire Garden Route on dirt roads and famous mountain passes. The Baviaanskloof is the perfect entry point to the Garden Route, with beautiful coastal towns of Plettenberg Bay and Knysna waiting to be explored.

Continue your journey toward Cape Town, either take the coastal road to the De Hoop Nature Reserve and the southernmost tip of the African continent at Cape Agulhas or take the inland mountain passes through Oudtshoorn, Montagu, and Worcester.

Cape Town, with its iconic Table Mountain backdrop, welcomes you to explore vibrant city life and historic landmarks. Cap off your adventure in the Cape Winelands, indulging in world-class wines and picturesque vineyard landscapes, concluding a self-drive odyssey through South Africa’s diverse and captivating regions.

Heading north from Cape Town, the West Coast, with its raw, windswept beauty, provides a scenic drive along deserted beaches and charming fishing villages. The Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park is a must-see for the true wildlife enthusiast. With its rugged road conditions and harsh landscape, it is not for the faint-hearted, but the reward is worth it with exceptional wildlife encounters on offer. The Jimny is perfectly at home in the rugged desert environment, whether you are camping or enjoying the private lodges in the region.
