An African overland tour is an adventure-focused journey across the continent, typically involving travel to remote locations, immersion in local cultures, and close encounters with wildlife. These tours usually incorporate camping or accommodated lodging options, offering diverse ways to experience the African landscape. The tours aim for a more immersive and authentic experience compared to traditional travel, with elements of exploration, nature and cultural exchange all incorporated.
Overland tours offer a range of accommodation options to cater to various preferences. Camping tours involve staying in tents at designated campsites which may offer basic facilities such as showers and toilets, but may not have electricity. Accommodated tours offer more comfort with options like permanent tents, huts, or lodges. Some tours mix both options.
Longer tours, typically 41 days or more, often encompass multiple countries within East and Southern Africa. Examples include South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda. Specific itineraries may vary but common highlights include visits to locations such as the Serengeti, Masai Mara, Etosha National Park, Victoria Falls and the Okavango Delta. You can expect a broad overview of the continent and immersion in its diverse landscapes and cultures.
These tours are packed with various activities, often with a heavy focus on wildlife encounters. Expect game drives in national parks, cultural interactions with local communities (like the San Bushmen), water-based activities such as canoe trips (e.g., mokoro in Okavango), and opportunities for gorilla trekking. You might also experience open-top safaris and visits to significant landmarks and natural wonders.
The choice between camping and accommodated tours depends on your personal comfort and experience preferences. Camping tours provide a more authentic and immersive experience of Africa under the stars, with basic amenities, and a generally lower price point. Accommodated tours provide a more comfortable experience, typically involving beds and a higher degree of convenience, but often costing more. Consider if you want a more basic experience with an emphasis on nature, or a smoother, more relaxing way of travelling and experiencing the same destinations.
Practicality and comfort are key when packing for these trips. Neutral-coloured clothing is recommended to blend in with nature and avoid attracting insects. Light layers are useful for adapting to temperature changes. Essential items include a good sunhat, comfortable and closed-toe footwear, and longer sleeve shirts and trousers for protection against sun and insects. Respectful clothing is recommended for cultural visits. Pack clothing for both hot days and potentially cold evenings, depending on the time of year and location.
Yes, tours are often categorised by their style and price. Budget tours tend to be focused on camping and involve group travel and participation in daily tasks. Comfort tours typically involve a higher level of comfort and more relaxed pace, with more frequent stays in proper accommodation. Both options will allow you to experience the beauty of the African continent, but comfort will cost you more. These differences are often reflected in price.
To book a tour, you can typically inquire via online forms, using WhatsApp, or by calling or texting the tour provider. Most tour operators will offer availability checks and options to make bookings. You should be ready to specify details like the desired dates and the ages of any children who will be travelling, so they can be accommodated to the best of the operator’s ability. Upon successfully submitting an inquiry, you will often be redirected to a thank you page and it will be expected that you not navigate away from this page.
