Over Eight years ago, Tourvest developed the innovative Free & Easy Voucher pass system with the explicit aim of offering the independent self-drive traveller to South Africa, the maximum flexibility and financial savings possible in major tourist areas; and free exposure for quality properties to sell rooms at last minute. Over the years, we have continually developed and fine tweaked the product. Tourvest Inbound Operations still offers a unique way to see our beautiful country, combining its magnificent scenery and prolific wildlife with a touch of true South African hospitality. Our Free & Easy accommodation solution gives you the flexibility to roam about the country at your leisure, knowing that fine accommodation awaits you wherever you go. No more fixed itineraries. All you have to do is buy Free & Easy Vouchers before you hit the road, armed with the Free & Easy Guide.
