Guidance for your route
It is your route – our knowledge helps you make better decisions.
An ideal self-drive route does not happen by chance. It depends on the season, realistic driving times and the experiences along the way. That is exactly where we support you.
Plan your route in the appTrip Match
Do not miss the highlights of your season.
See which regions, animals and experiences fit your travel dates best – so your route not only sounds good but really works in that season.
Route check
Spot pitfalls before you are on the road.
Find out where your route needs special attention: deep sand, difficult tracks, ferries, gates, long stages or seasonally restricted roads.
Routing
Rely on driving times that match reality.
Plan with actual distances and driving times that are realistic in national parks, on remote tracks and off the main roads in general.

What travellers say about us.
10 Minuten nachdem wir uns einfach auf den Steg gesetzt haben, konnten wir mindestens 6 Orcas sichten. Danke für den wirklich tollen Reiseführer und den mega Tipp. Wir haben hier sooo eine tolle Zeit, auch dank eures Reiseführers!

Anhand des Reiseführers haben wir uns eine tolle Route durch Namibia geplant. Die Routenvorschläge haben uns dabei sehr geholfen.

Ich konnte so tolle Wildlife-Fotos machen an Orten, die mir hier empfohlen worden sind, und kam zusätzlich noch mit Locals ins Gespräch, die teilweise verwundert waren, wieso ich genau an diesen einen Spot zum Fotografieren gefahren bin.

Das Buch kommt sehr gut verpackt und mit individueller Karte an, total liebevoll gemacht!

Who is behind Wildful Stories?
We are building the app we always wished for.
For us, every trip starts the same way: we read books, compare maps, research national parks, read studies, test routes and spend weeks finding out what could make this trip really special.
What took us weeks of research is now part of Wildful Stories – so you do not have to gather information from books, maps and travel reports yourself, but can focus on what really matters: your trip.
