Safari Drive Anmeldelser 148

Safari Drive service has been excellent at many levels! From trip planning with numerous emails exchanged, road book and travel documents preparation, driving and itinerary brief to support on the ground, everything has been very smooth and easy. 4*4 (Toyota Cruiser) was of utmost quality just as the equipment provided. We felt very safe and could focus on enjoying our time in Namibia. Special thanks to Ben(s) and Jens!

Safari Drive provided a highly professional service throughout the itinerary planning, booking and their support in the field. Travelling through African countries always provides surprises. Dealing with highly experienced people and combine this with the best vehicles and equipment in the self drive market meant we could enjoy the unexpected and experience a true adventure. If you choose Safari Drive you will be in safe hands.

Since 2008, we have completed seven self-drives with Safari Drive. That in itself should speak volumes regarding our opinion of Safari Drive and the service/vehicles they provide. Our eighth trip, in summer 2019, is already booked.

My husband and I travel alone, so having Safari Drive backing us during the self-drives is very important to us. We know that, should difficulties arise, Safari Drive is just a text message or satellite phone call away. That being said, their vehicles are so reliable that over the years and after thousands of kilometres on incredibly rough roads and through very isolated areas, we have only had to call on them twice. In both cases, Safari Drive responded immediately to our calls for assistance, ensuring that we were safe and the vehicle secure. In one case, given that we were in the middle of nowhere in the Serengeti, the fact that, in just over an hour, Safari Drive had two mechanics under the 4x4, was nothing short of miraculous.

In addition to the security and peace of mind that Safari Drive provides, we appreciate their advice regarding itineraries. We like to research and plan our own trips, and then submit our itineraries to SD for their input. Especially early on, when we did not appreciate how long it can take to cover short distances in Africa, their experience and advice were invaluable. Many of their campsite, tented camp, and B&B recommendations have become favourites.

Having Safari Drive make our bookings and arrange all land transfers is not only convenient but ensures that our trips run remarkably smoothly. It never ceases to amaze us that, given that we are at times traveling through very remote regions of Africa, we are not faced with more challenges during our self-drives. There are seldom any and, when there is an issue, Safari Drive sorts it out quickly. As we travel, it is comforting to know that the team on the ground, who are unfailingly knowledgeable, helpful and friendly, and the experienced team in the UK, are working to ensure that everything runs according to plan.

The vehicles are great - always well maintained and well equipped. We love the roof-top tents – easily accessible (even for two seniors) and comfortable.

If you are considering a self-drive with Safari Drive, then do it. Soon! Our only regret is that we didn’t begin these journeys years earlier.
Safari njema!

Safari Drive is a unique company - their excellent bespoke service offers the security of a trip planned and booked in the UK with their knowledgeable experts, backed up by local support in the countries when travelling, yet allowing the independence of travel that would otherwise be out of the reach of most UK travellers. I would recommend them to anyone with a sense of adventure!

In all my years of arranging self drive tours in Africa, I have never had such a complete and wonderful experience as we did this summer booking with Safari Drive for a 21 day tour of Botswana. If you have ever tried to book an African Safari then you know the issues with local in-country handlers, foreign booking companies, multiple travel agents, bank transfers and daily currency conversions, having to balance all interests and get everyone on the same page (its very much like herding cats). Safari Drive takes over this for you, while providing you transparency to whom will be providing what during your safari. Safari Drive is more than a 4x4 rental company. Safari Drive delivers you a customised experience, well documented (maps, 4x4 information and drive intelligence), private itinerary paired with their extensive local staff, service, knowledge and experience. Safari Drive delivers on the old African proverb, "Africa is a promise will kept...". Well done Safari Drive staff! We will book with you again for our next adventure. Jeff from Switzerland

A professional organization with a personal touch. The equipment provided us with an effortless experience. From the minute we met Jens in Windhoek to pick up our landcruiser our trip was spectacular. An experience my wife and I will never forget. We already have our dates set for our next Safari Drive adventure next year. I think that explains our confidence in Safari Drive.
