Our journeys

You send an enquiry, we talk through the route, dates and group, and you receive a written offer. A deposit secures your places; the balance is due before departure. No instalment plans — just one deposit and one final payment.

On a guided expedition you travel in our vehicles with Marcel at the wheel. On a guided self-drive you drive your own fully equipped rental 4x4 and follow a guide vehicle — you get the driving, we handle the navigation, camps, permits and recovery.

Not for guided expeditions. For guided self-drive, some experience helps, and we brief you on sand, mud and water crossings before we leave Windhoek. Only the Extreme Expedition through the Kaokoveld requires solid off-road experience.

Everything except activities: guide, vehicles, fuel, camping and park fees, equipment, food and drinks. Flights, visas and personal travel insurance are not included.

Mostly in roof tents on the vehicles — with proper mattresses, a hot shower where we can rig one and dinner around the fire. On most routes one or two nights are spent in rooms or a lodge where one exists at all out there.

May to October is dry, cool at night and best for wildlife. November to April is the green season: hotter, greener, emptier — and the time of year for mud and water crossings in Botswana.

Two to twelve people. Most journeys run as private groups — couples, families, friends — and every route can be adjusted.

Very. On the Kaokoveld and Kalahari routes there is no phone signal for days. We carry satellite communication, a full recovery kit, spares and a guide who has driven every one of these tracks many times.
