B6/B7 rated armored luxury vehicles with evasive driving trained operators. Route intelligence and OpsLink monitoring on every journey across South Africa.
Get a QuoteSentinel Africa Group operates one of South Africa's most sophisticated privately held armored vehicle fleets, purpose-built for the protection of executives, diplomats, celebrities, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals in high-threat environments. Our fleet comprises luxury sedans and SUVs armored to B6 and B7 ballistic protection levels, providing verified protection against military-grade rifle fire including 7.62mm NATO and armor-piercing rounds. Every vehicle in our fleet features ballistic glass, armored fuel tanks, run-flat tire systems, reinforced suspension, and blast-resistant flooring designed to withstand improvised explosive devices.
Our armored vehicle operations are inseparable from our close protection services. Every vehicle is crewed by operators trained in advanced evasive and defensive driving techniques, including high-speed threat avoidance, J-turns, ramming protocols, and multi-vehicle convoy formations. Our drivers are drawn from military and law enforcement backgrounds and undergo regular qualification testing on our training courses. They operate not merely as chauffeurs but as the first line of mobile defence, constantly assessing the route environment and communicating with our OpsLink operations centre.
Intelligence is embedded into every journey. Before departure, our operations team uses the ThreatWatch platform to analyse the planned route, identifying crime hotspots, road conditions, construction delays, and any current threat intelligence relevant to the area of operation. Primary, secondary, and emergency routes are pre-planned and loaded into the vehicle's navigation system. During transit, our 24/7 operations centre monitors the vehicle's position via GPS tracking and maintains constant encrypted radio communication with the crew, ready to provide real-time route adjustments or dispatch response teams if required.
Our fleet caters to a range of operational requirements. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7-Series offer discreet luxury for corporate executive movements in Johannesburg and Cape Town. The armored Toyota Land Cruiser 300 and Range Rover Vogue provide the off-road capability and commanding road presence needed for operations in rural areas and across Africa's more challenging terrain. For multi-principal operations and diplomatic movements, we operate coordinated convoy formations with lead, principal, and follow vehicles, all linked through our secure transport command network.

The system enables our controllers to monitor vehicle position, speed, and route compliance, and to provide immediate support including route adjustments, response team dispatch, and coordination with close protection teams on the ground.
Before each journey, ThreatWatch intelligence is used to generate route risk assessments that inform the driving team. Crime data, traffic conditions, construction, protests, and any active threat intelligence are analysed to select optimal routes. During transit, the operations centre monitors real-time feeds and can intervene proactively if conditions change along the planned route.

Sentinel Africa Group provided a 3-vehicle armored convoy for a diplomatic mission requiring daily transport between Johannesburg and Pretoria over a 6-month period. The operation included a lead security vehicle, the principal's armored Mercedes S-Class, and a follow vehicle carrying additional security personnel. All routes were intelligence-planned using ThreatWatch with daily briefings and alternative routing. The convoy was monitored continuously through OpsLink with armed response teams on standby. The entire 6-month engagement was completed without a single security incident, consistently on schedule, and with commendation from the mission's security director.
