One company, two products

Two ways to work with us

The same team, the same drivers and the same hotel and lodge contacts sit behind both. Pick whichever one you need.

SavannahLink Transfers

Airport, city and lodge transfers

Simple A-to-B transport with clear drive times. Book one airport pickup, or every transfer for a big group departure.

  • Private airport and hotel pickups
  • Shared shuttles on our busiest routes
  • Drives between cities, lodges and parks
  • Border crossings with someone to help you through

Regional network

Seven countries, one team

We know the airports, the roads and the border posts, so a trip through three countries still feels like one booking.

Regional network

Seven countries, one operating standard

We treat Southern Africa as a single connected region rather than seven separate markets. Gateways, corridors and border posts are documented, timed and monitored — so a Cape Town arrival, a Kazungula crossing and a Delta charter connection all sit in one operating file.

  • Namibia
  • Botswana
  • Zimbabwe

How it works

Request, quote, book, pay

The same simple steps for one airport pickup or a three-week safari. A real person checks the cars, rooms and prices — nothing on this site is priced automatically.

  1. 01

    You send us a request

    Tell us the dates, the pickup and drop-off and how many people. Two minutes, no card details, no obligation.

  2. 02

    We check it and send a price

    A real person checks the cars, drivers and rooms, then emails you a written quote. Prices are worked out by hand, not by a computer.

  3. 03

    You say yes and we book it

    Approve the quote and we book the drivers and suppliers, send your vouchers and put the job on our daily board.

  4. 04

    You pay and we drive

    We invoice your account or send bank details. Paying by card online is not available yet.
