Hiring a private driver in South Africa is one of the most comfortable ways to explore the country. South Africa offers coastal roads, wine regions, wildlife reserves, mountains, and cultural cities. With a private driver, you can enjoy the views and experiences without worrying about driving and navigation.
Distances between highlights can be wide, and some areas are not easy to reach with public transport. A private driver lets you travel in a relaxed way. You can stop at viewpoints, small towns, and attractions along the route. Your driver knows local roads, safe areas, and the best times to visit popular places.
The service is available from Cape Town, the Cape Winelands, Hermanus, the Garden Route, Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha), Johannesburg, Pretoria, the Panorama Route, Kruger region, Durban, the Drakensberg, and the KwaZulu-Natal coast.
We use comfortable SUVs, 4×4 vehicles, and spacious minibuses or vans such as Toyota Quantum-type vehicles for families and groups. All vehicles include air-conditioning and space for luggage.
The service includes a private vehicle with fuel and a professional driver. You choose your destinations and general route, and we take care of the overland transport for the full trip.
Daily rates depend on the route and vehicle size. The rate includes the private car and fuel. Your hotels, meals, entrance tickets, and activities are not included unless agreed as a full package.
South Africa is a year-round destination. Coastal and city trips are pleasant most of the year. Safari areas are often best from May to October, when the bush is drier and animals are easier to see.
Highways and main roads are generally in good condition. Mountain passes and rural roads require careful driving, especially in bad weather. Your driver follows safe driving practices so you can relax and enjoy the journey.
Send your travel dates, number of travelers, and the main areas you want to visit. We will suggest a simple itinerary and confirm availability of the private car and driver.
