From what I know, Drive SA offers direct support in South Africa and its neighbouring countries, with indirect support and advice for countries further north. They give advice on routes, road conditions, places to stay, reliable work-shops along the way and common-sense advice for keeping your vehicle (and yourselves!) safe along the trip. Mark - I do also see that you mention Botswana, Mozambique, Tanzania and Kenya. Any reason you exclude South Africa? You will probably find that it is easiest to start your trip in South Africa. There are larger companies with more reliable fleets and better support systems in South Africa than in most other countries. I'd be very interested to hear what your route is and what vehicle you end up travelling in when you do go driving in Africa! Cheers - Andre Hi Mark,
