Overlanding Adventures

View all overland Africa tours

The sighing hiss of the truck's brakes signals an end to a long day; a camp fire is lit, tents thrown up around it and the air quickly fills with the good-humoured buzz of a bush camp.

It's dusk somewhere in Africa, and as the stars rush out into the inky sky the action-packed day's events are recounted with laughter and the next day is planned: welcome to the world of African overlanding.

An African overland trip is a once-in-a-lifetime experience - an opportunity to make new friends, explore unique places and discover an unforgettable Africa.

It's the most economical way to explore the African continent and a great way to get a more geniune view of Africa than any travellers will ever experience.

If, on the other hand, overlanding isn't for you, then check out our tours and safaris to experience top destinations in luxury - from fly-in itineraries to exclusive mobile safaris.

You'll have all the mod cons - opulent lodges, customised 4X4 vehicles and fine food - in any setting from the raw African bush to tropical islands and bustling cities.

So what exactly is African overlanding about? It's primarily about travelling in groups with like-minded souls to discover Africa in a fun way.

You'll travel - mostly in the comfortable embrace of a specially designed truck - from country to country and experience a dazzling montage of cultures, landscapes and wildlife.

Overlanding is a unique kind of adventure and you need to be prepared for a bit of roughing it: pitching your own tent in places and helping out with some of the cooking and other chores.

In fact, we consider it to be so different from other ways of travelling in Africa that we have a separate site dedicated to the world of African overland tours - get the full lowdown on overlanding everywhere in Africa from the raw bush to tropical islands and bustling cities.
