The Fun In The World Scratch Map
The map lets you answer the questions that cover each country, landmark or ocean and scratch off the top layer to reveal a beautiful, colorful map underneath. The scratch map can also be used by those who enjoy traveling. With a coin (or anything that is not a sharp object to damage your map) just scratch off the top coating covering the countries you have visited. In this way, you will be able to keep a tangible record of your trips and show your friends, family and even children in years to come.

DSA Staff Voyages
Since Drive South Africa is traveling agency at heart, we put the map to test. We asked our staff in the office, which is mostly comprised of travel consultants who’ve been to many interesting destinations around the world, to scratch off the countries they have already visited. 

Our Senior Tour Consultant, Megan Warrington has been to Mozambique, Swaziland, Namibia, Egypt and she’d love to scratch off a country in Europe in the nearer future.
