4x4 Offroad trip through South Africa

Your off-road adventure through southern Africa begins in Johannesburg. From here, you start your 4x4 journey initially on well-developed highways through the South African corn belt towards Botswana. The first leg is long but rich in scenic impressions. This safari trip takes you to the Botswana border at Martins Drift, where you will reach the first accommodation via bumpy and possibly muddy roads depending on the weather, simply ideal for the start of this 4x4 Africa journey.

Your safari trip takes you today over a long distance to the town of Maun. You can choose between asphalt or adventurous sections, which is typical for a real off-road journey. Here begins the wild part of your Africa 4x4 trip. The gate to the Okavango Delta Maun welcomes us with safari flair and the feeling of being very close to the largest inland delta in the world.

In the morning we will head out once again into the Okavango Delta with a mokoro (the traditional boats made from hollowed-out tree trunks) before leaving the delta behind us. Back on the road, your 4x4 journey continues to Nata. Here are the Makgadikgadi salt pans, which with their expanses and numerous bird species (including flamingos) are a highlight of this safari off-road trip. Optionally, you can take an off-road exploratory tour through the pans.

On your 4x4 journey, you will travel after a short but impressive drive across the border into Zimbabwe, where the landscape noticeably changes. Shortly thereafter, you will reach the thundering Victoria Falls, which are among the largest waterfalls in the world. The roar of the water and the colors of the rainbow make this place one of the most magnificent natural wonders on Earth, and thus an unforgettable stop on the safari off-road journey.

You now continue the SUV journey and leave the Victoria Falls on the way to Hwange National Park in the interior of Zimbabwe. The last kilometers of today's stage of the off-road journey again lead over rough natural roads to the accommodation. An afternoon safari tour brings you face to face with Africa's great wildlife. Dust, sun, and a lot of excitement characterize this safari day.

The route of the off-road safari trip now leads to the south of Zimbabwe. Upon arriving in Bulawayo, an exploration of the city is possible, or optionally an off-road tour to the over 2 billion years old granite rock formations of Matobo Hills. Among the rocks and legends, one can feel the spirituality of the African country. The sunset over the granite peaks there is dreamy and indescribable.

The whole day is dedicated to the last safari of this adventurous off-road trip. Early in the morning and in the afternoon, there will be a game drive, whether it's a guided safari tour or a final off-road tour with the rental SUV. With a bit of luck, you'll see all the Big Five. Every curve brings new animal encounters as Africa reveals itself once again in all its diversity.
