Start with the journey
A road safari gives you control over the pace of the journey. It can start at a city hotel, airport or beach resort, link several parks in sequence and stop when the landscape or wildlife calls for more time.
FAD operates road itineraries in safari-equipped vehicles with experienced driver-guides. Compare the published routes below, then ask us to balance driving time, game drives and accommodation around your priorities.

Before you choose
Clear starting points for planning. We confirm availability and current travel details when you enquire.
What vehicle is used for a road safari?
The vehicle depends on the route and party size. FAD uses safari-prepared vehicles chosen for visibility, comfort and the road conditions on the itinerary.
Are road safaris private?
FAD road itineraries can be arranged privately for your travelling party, with your own vehicle and driver-guide.
How much driving is involved?
Driving time changes by route. Each itinerary shows the travel order, and our team can add nights or change the park combination when a slower pace would suit you better.
Can a road safari end somewhere different?
Often, yes. Many routes can use a different final drop-off or connect with a beach stay or onward flight, subject to the practical route and timing.
