Self-drive tours are an option for those who prefer to experience the beauty of South Africa’s wildlife on their own. Let Lawson’s, as pioneers of avi-tourism in the country, plan your self-drive birding / wildlife holiday adventure to top localities throughout the sub-region.
We will compile a tailor-made tour encompassing the best routes to maximise your chances of finding the birds and animals of each area. We can also arrange specialist local guides to be on call at certain strategic spots along your route.
Look at all these benefits:
- We have been operating in South Africa since 1990 and have the experience, knowledge and expertise to assist you.
- Our reservations consultants will take the hassle out of arranging your holiday, and make the necessary bookings on your behalf, including accommodation and vehicle rental.
- A Lawson's representative will meet you at the airport. He will give you a safari info-pack, containing your itinerary and detailed directions, checklists, relevant vouchers and contact numbers.
- Tours are customized to meet individual client requirements, and tour pace is dictated by specific client needs.
