Kalahari Tours & Travel is a 4x4 specialist and offers a range of 4x4 trails to choose from in Southern Africa in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Northern Cape Province in South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia. Our 4x4 tours are all inclusive, with clients having the option of travelling in a 4x4 vehicle with a driver/guide or driving their own 4x4 or rented 4x4 vehicles. Our guide will assist you on the trail and with setting up camp and preparing meals. Any combination of these 4x4 trails can be done.
 
Kalahari Tours and Travel is committed to responsible tourism and we expect clients to be too. We respect nature, the rules and regulations of conservation areas and the privacy of local communities and strive to run our tours with as little or no negative impact to nature. We support local communities where possible by making use of facilities offered by them.
Although the driving conditions on some trails can be quite demanding, our tours are not about testing 4x4 vehicles. On the contrary, we just need a 4x4 to get to very special remote areas that can’t be reached in a 2x4.
We offer the following standard 4x4 tours:
