We want to do a self-drive. What are the conditions of the roads?
A. South Africa has a superb network of tarred freeways, highways and roads, comparable to any first world country. There are large filling stations along the freeways, with restaurants, restrooms and rest areas under shade. Of course, in the remote areas, the roads are sometimes gravel surfaced, so driving there requires less speed and more care. The roads in Zimbabwe and Namibia are all good, and most are tarred. We do not offer any self drive packages in Zambia, Mozambique or Malawi.
