How we plan your trip to South Africa
Your personalized Road Trip through south africa is created in three simple steps – from your initial dream to the finished itinerary.
First, you use the form to tell us about your wishes, interests, and travel dates. This gives us a sense of what inspires you and what you want to experience on your trip. Then the creative phase begins: We plan your route, select suitable accommodations and highlights, and use them to design your personal Road Trip – as unique as you are.
Before you receive your documents, we will briefly discuss all the details again to make sure everything is perfect. You will then receive your complete travel documents – the final step on the way to your very own journey through a fairytale world.
It all starts with our simple and straightforward request form. Here you tell us how you want to travel, which regions or places particularly fascinate you, and what you definitely don’t want to miss on your route.
At the same time, we are interested in what is particularly important to you during your trip—whether it’s authentic encounters, nature experiences, culture, or relaxation. The duration of your trip, comfort level, and individual wishes also play a role.
All this information and much more forms the basis for your tailor-made Road Trip – your very own personal adventure through South Africa.
Next comes the most exciting part of our work. Based on your wishes and ideas, we will design your very own Road Trip through South Africa – including an interactive map for on the go, individual route recommendations, our personal highlights, and lots of insider tips.

Finally, we will meet for a short virtual conversation in which we will discuss all aspects of your trip to South Africa together – from the journey and the route to our tips and tricks and all your open questions.
We will guide you step by step through your lovingly designed PDF travel documents – and no question is too small or unimportant. Once everything is to your complete satisfaction and any adjustments have been made, you will receive your final travel documents by email.
