Iconic journeys
If the open road is calling you, a self drive holiday could be just the trip you’re looking for. Swap the daily commute for the road trip of a lifetime behind the wheel on one of the world’s most iconic driving routes. We tailor make our trips to fit your plans and preferences, so whether you’ve always dreamed of cruising America’s Route 66 on a Harley-Davidson, or you’ve got the perfect playlist for a thrilling road trip across South Africa, we’ll give you the keys and map and send you on your way.
Where will your journey take you?
Our Classic West tour through California’s breathtaking scenery has something for everyone, from the sun-kissed stretches of Big Sur and the misty redwood forests of Yosemite, to celeb and food concentrated cities like Los Angeles. One of the world’s best road trips, the route takes you through the Mojave Desert – a landscape of rolling ochre sand dunes, peppered with peculiar-looking Joshua trees and scattered wildflower meadows – to the awe-inspiring Grand Canyon National Park. Hike the Rim Trail, soaking in the panoramas from gravity-defying outcrops, and catch your breath watching the sun set over the majestic landscape.
One of the best things about a self drive holiday is the freedom and flexibility – you set the agenda and there’s really no limits to the type of trip you can create. Spend as long or as little time as you’d like at any of the stops. Mix and match your itinerary. If you want us to sort flights, accommodation and a car – no problem! Prefer to go lone ranger on a motorcycle expedition or bring the whole family on a motorhome holiday? Your trip, your choice. Get in touch with one of our Destination Specialists today and let’s get planning your self drive adventure.

South Africa
South Africa is a superb self-drive destination with many possibilities.

Finish your drive at one of South Africa’s safari parks spotting the big 5. With so many wonderful sights and attractions, travelling at a pace to suit on surfaced and safe roads, a self-drive in South Africa is a holiday must.

Whether cruising down Route 66 on the back of a Harley Davidson, exploring the National Parks in a motorhome or city hopping in a hire car, driving in North America and Canada has never been easier.
