Adventure travel is changing. Travellers want more than sightseeing. They want stories. Real connection. Places that still feel wild and undiscovered.
That’s exactly where Drifters thrives.
Over the past year, the brand has continued to push beyond the expected, expanding its portfolio with bold new journeys across Southern Africa. And now, for the first time, Drifters is heading into Angola — one of the continent’s most untouched and least explored destinations.
The result is a journey built for travellers who want something different. Something raw. Something unforgettable.
Into the heart of Angola
The new 19-Day Angola & Namibia Pioneer Tour takes travellers deep into remote landscapes that few international visitors ever experience.
Starting in Namibia and crossing into the heart of Angola, the journey combines dramatic scenery, cultural encounters and true off-the-grid adventure.
Guests travel aboard a custom-built adventure truck, moving through some of Southern Africa’s most remarkable regions. One moment it’s the wildlife-rich plains of Etosha National Park. The next, it’s the winding curves of the iconic Serra da Leba Pass or the thunderous beauty of Kalandula Falls.
There are coastal towns. Remote communities. Endless desert landscapes stretching across the Namibe Desert.
And through it all, travellers get to experience a side of Africa that still feels untouched by mass tourism.
The tour blends wild camping with select accommodation, creating a hands-on, immersive experience designed for travellers who embrace adventure in its purest form.
Discovering Botswana differently
At the same time, Drifters is expanding its popular Traveller Tours range with a brand-new Botswana experience.
The 10-Day Botswana Discovery Safari is designed for travellers who want adventure without giving up comfort.
This is not a traditional safari focused only on game viewing. It’s a deeper exploration of the landscapes, waterways and cultures that make Botswana so extraordinary.
Guests journey through the winding channels of the Okavango Delta and into the vast, soulful landscapes of the Kalahari Desert.
Of course, there’s exceptional wildlife along the way. But the experience goes beyond that.
Travellers also gain insight into local culture and heritage, creating a far more meaningful connection to the destination itself.
The result is a journey that balances comfort, intimacy and immersive exploration in equal measure.
Adventure with purpose
Drifters has always been about more than simply getting from one destination to another.
It’s about meaningful travel. Shared experiences. The kind of moments that stay with you long after the journey ends.
With new itineraries in Angola and expanded experiences across Botswana, the brand continues to evolve while staying true to its adventurous roots.
Whether travelling as a Pioneer, Explorer or Traveller, every Drifters journey is built around the same idea — connecting guests to the true spirit of Africa through adventure, culture, wildlife and discovery. Find out more about the Tourvest Desintation Management division here.
