African Overland Camping Safaris and Adventures
(Southern, East and Central Africa)
Established in 1983, Drifters has
gone from strength to strength to become one of the most formidable forces in
tourism in Southern Africa. Their philosophy is based on one of SUSTAINABILITY –
the long-term assurance that whatever activity they conduct in any specific
natural area must contribute to the conservation and to the well-being of the
inhabitants of that area, thus ensuring that future generations will be able to
visit those same areas and enjoy the same experience as did their parents before
them.
Drifters expansion has been gradual and calculated, and over the years they have
earned an enviable reputation for offering “unbeatable value for money”.
Offering value for money however does not mean that they provide an inferior
product; in fact, quite the contrary. Their packages are renowned for including
far more than others on offer, and their vast infrastructure of Drifters owned
game reserves, bush camps, Inns, boats, canoes, adventure equipment and other
resources mean that clients are able to enjoy the best of Africa without added
expense.
Being Southern African owned and based, Drifters have a company registered in
every country in which they operate and they employ large numbers of local people in
all those countries. Clients can therefore feel assured that a percentage of
their tour fee is in fact going directly to all those local communities.
Drifters are also members of all major tourist associations and authorities, and
are licensed and insured to operate throughout the region, thus ensuring
accountability and providing clients with security and peace of mind.
All of their tours are inclined toward the interesting and often unique fauna and
flora of Africa, and for this reason they often leave the “beaten track” to
explore remote areas where little or no familiar infrastructure exists. In these
areas they generally camp, but all equipment is supplied, and no previous
experience is necessary. All that you need to bring along is a sleeping bag,
towel, and a supplementary mattress (if desired). When they enter built-up areas
where facilities exist, they use inns, bungalows or small hotels. Drifters tours
are based on twin shared accommodation, however they do not charge a single
supplement for individual bookings.
Having said all this, all that remains is you, the client. They target
adventure-minded people of 18 to 55 years of age, who through their own active
participation in the tours get maximum enjoyment. Our clients are normally
down-to-earth people from all walks of life and from all corners of the globe,
who by choice have selected a camping safari in order to enjoy the maximum
experience.
If you really wish to spend your time on an African safari with a small
international group, and you relish the thought of an environmentally educative
and adventurous experience where “Roughing it and Loving it” is the order of the
day, then Drifters is your only choice.
