What we
OfferDrifters Adventure Tours is a South African based tour operator established in 1983. We offer adventure safari tours throughout Southern and East Africa to small groups of international travellers who want to experience Africa in a unique way. Our tours attract guests from all ages travelling alone or together that want to explore, discover and immerse themselves in the beauty, culture and history of Africa.
Camping, accommodated and private tours
All of our tours are inclined toward the interesting and often unique fauna and flora of Africa and for this reason we often leave the beaten track to explore remote areas where little or no familiar infrastructure exists. In these areas we generally camp, but all equipment is supplied, and no previous experience is necessary.
Safari tours in comfortable vehicles
We offer a wide range of tailor made touring options throughout South Africa with regular scheduled departures throughout the year.
Custom-built
Safari TrucksAll our tours use custom-built safari trucks that take a maximum of 16 passengers. The vehicles offers guests comfort and reliability with custom features like a fold-out kitchen, onboard fridge, individual client lockers and big windows that offer panoramic views.
Comfortable
Our new touring vehicles offer comfort and convenience to give guests the best possible touring experience.

We had an unforgettable tour! The lodges were all fantastic with very nice, friendly people. We saw so much on the game drives, thanks to the game driver/guide Mac! Because of all these people and the nature, Drifters and Botswana have taken a big place in our hearts!
