I really recommend self drive for planning your adventurous trip in Africa!
First all the car drives schedules were precise and the mix in lodge and camping were very much welcome with the 8 years old as suggested by Mike.
We had a fridge issue but all along the way you can get assistance and we get it repaired in Kasane.
Also we had the booking confusion at the Kruger and the assistance worked well with Marco by WhatsApp. Very much appreciated to be alone with those supports.
We haven’t took the satellite phone as we were equipped with a Starlink antenna but not available in South Africa.
Strengths
Professionnalisme and accommodating the requests and routes
Improvements or suggestions
We pinched the tire once and the Jack is not the best one considering the 4x4 tyre size. We had to get assistance by locals to use a very standard one that lift the car higher.
