USA and Canada
The USA and Canada are two of the vastest countries and both are home to charismatic cities, sprawling national parks and wide, open roads. Explore in a classic American car, palatial motorhome or even on a thrilling Harley Davidson. Choose to meander slowly through, stopping off to explore every inch of these diverse landscapes, or enjoy a whistle stop tour of the top sights. Driving is an attraction in itself in the USA, with large comfortable cars and wide, well maintained roads.
Escorted tours
If you don’t feel comfortable with a fly drive holiday on your own, our escorted tours offer a great compromise. Meet up with other likeminded travellers and set off on an adventure led by expert guides who will ensure you see the best of their country. Our escorted holiday tours can also be booked as part of a wider holiday, with options from a few days to a full month available.
Africa
The Garden Route is one of the best known self drive holiday destinations, and it’s easy to see why. It takes you from the rich culture of Cape Town through luscious valleys and rugged mountains, along glittering stretches of coast and through idyllic countryside towns. Try freshly caught oysters in Plettenberg Bay, ostrich eggs in the farmlands, some of the world’s greatest wines in Franschhoek and succulent local cuisine wherever you stop.
