We recognise that part of the Safari Adventure is to actually do your own 4x4 driving so this is what Off Trax offers. Ongoing off-road driving instruction is given. You will become confident in driving your vehicle knowing its limits and abilities when challenging the African terrain. Be assured that you are always under the guidance of Off Trax hosts who are masters of the African bush and trained to cope with any emergency. A comprehensive recovery kit is always at hand.

Guests drive in fully air-conditioned Double Cab 4x4 vehicles provided by the company. Each vehicle is equipped with a two-way radio and numerous essential spares and in the unlikely event of a brake down your host is a master bush mechanic. Ice cold drinks are always at hand due to a refrigerator in each vehicle.

 

Enjoy some Tiger fishing in the Mana Pools, in Zimbabwe or a relaxing Mokoro trip in the Okovango Delta, Botswana.
