What is an African Overland Tour?

An African overland tour is the ultimate road trip. It’s about getting off the beaten path in a custom-built truck, sharing stories around a campfire, and waking up to the sounds of the wild. Here’s what you can expect:

• Travel in Custom-Built Vehicles: Our overland trucks are designed to handle Africa’s rugged terrain, getting you to places that most tourists never see.

• Small Group Adventures: Travel with a group of like-minded adventurers (usually 4-20 people) and forge friendships that will last a lifetime.

• Authentic Experiences: From visiting remote villages to tracking the Big Five in world-renowned national parks, you’ll experience the real Africa.

• Hands-On Participation: On many of our tours, you’ll be part of the adventure, helping to set up camp and prepare meals.
