An Overland safari tour of Africa, is unlike any other adventure you'll experience; the mixture of the unique cultures, wildlife and the beautiful landscapes is un-equalled to any other. It’s the most affordable way to see the best of Africa.
We offer a wide range of Overland safaris in Africa, ranging from one week safari to almost two months cross Africa tour, covering major attractions in countries within eastern and southern Africa.
Overland Safari is arguably the ultimate way to explore Africa, here people of like minded come together to form a group and travel through major attractions in Africa. The major countries that we usually pass through include Kenya, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Namibia, Zambia, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Botswana and South African. An Overland safari would take between one and twelve weeks depending on the number of countries selected.
From the long list of attractions in Africa we have singled out a few that we highly recommend for Overland safari in Africa. A wildlife game drive to the famous Masai Mara and Serengeti National park, sunbathing in one of the un-spoilt beaches of Zanzibar, climbing mount Kilimanjaro or Mount Kenya, Gorilla trekking in Uganda, sky diving and bungee jumping at the Victoria falls, Tour of the Winelands and Kruger national park in south Africa and finally White Water Rafting in Zimbabwe.
Africa is huge and covering most major attractions on an overland safari, will require covering thousands of kilometers; some of the drives will be long and may have a few patches where the roads are rough and bumpy, and in other places after heavy rains the roads and the bridges might be swept away; this are some of the hiccups that make overland safari more adventurous if taken positively. However, we can assure you with our team of expert and you being flexible nothing will spoil your trip, because sometimes will be forced to slightly alter the itinerary to pass through the hiccups.
Due to the long and sometimes difficult conditions, our overland trucks are custom built with comfortable seats and an ample leg room. Each overland truck carries everything needed for a safari, a fully equipped kitchen that include a fridge, enough food, cutlery, pots, pans, gas stove and so on. The trucks have secure lock up facilities for your bags and a safe for your valuables, a power inverter with a 220v – 240v socket to charge the phones, cameras, laptops and so on.
An Overland safari usually has 3 crew members (a Driver, Trip Leader and a Cook), our crew has a wealth of experience traveling through this route for years and they are more than happy to share with you. In order for you to get the whole overland adventure, we usually request our guest to help in the day to day chores (help in clean ups, shopping, preparing meals and so on).
