Explore Africa
Exploring Africa overland with an overland truck is a great way to see a number of countries. Each day is different – sometimes you’ll spend the whole day driving from one place to the next, sometimes you’ll spend two or three days in one place, giving you time to explore the area.
Travelling Africa overland is a truly amazing experience. Overland tours are perfect for both seasoned backpackers and first timers. You’ll get to see a country in a very unique way, and the other people on-board will become your second family. Most things are provided for you in the truck, such as bedding, a kitchen and space for storage, which means you can pack next to nothing and keep that budget to an absolute minimum.
A popular route is an overland tour from Kenya and Uganda’s game parks, south through Tanzania, Malawi and Zimbabwe. In this overland tour of Africa you’ll trek to see mountain gorillas, relax in the blue waters of Zanzibar and Lake Malawi, and enjoy the adrenaline fuelled activities at Victoria Falls.
Another epic trip is a 12 week expedition across the continent of Africa from Morocco (north) to Cape Town (south). If you’re willing to camp, work as part of a team and like to travel in some of the most exotic areas in the world then this is the trip for you.
Explore Africa overland in a journey that you’ll never forget…
