Traveling overland is great fun while it can also be challenging! It is essential that everyone joins in. You are encouraged to help set up camp and to assist (usually on a roster basis) with day to day campsite chores such as shopping and cooking. Don't worry. It isn't all hard work! On the contrary, it's a great way to meet the local people and to get the most from your African holiday. Most people find that the greater their involvement, the greater their enjoyment. Take a closer look at the African Insight, the Gorilla Encounter and the East African Explorer.

WHAT IS OVERLANDING?

Traveling overland is not a conventional holiday and generally appeals to those from the age of 18 to those in their mid 40's. Although, people older than this who are active and "young at heart" can certainly join and fit in well with the tour group. Overlanding is by nature an adventurous activity and things don't always go according to plan! The roads can be rough, the climate arduous, and there can be lengthy delays. If you feel that this type of holiday is not what you are looking for, please call us at (800) 515-1709 and we'll find something that better suits your needs.

Safari Vehicles

A fleet of specially customized vehicles are superbly designed for African conditions. Rugged, reliable and durable, these vehicles are surprisingly comfortable with 24 padded seats allowing ample room for storage, comfort and safety. The sliding windows are ideal for game viewing yet high enough for added security. A refrigerator/freezer, cooler, stereo (with iPod input), safe, camp oven, reference library, internal & external lighting, first aid kit, personal lockers and luggage racks are standard features of each vehicle.

Trip Leaders

Our overland tours have a minimum of two crew who are chosen for their leadership qualities, people skills, local knowledge, and perhaps, most important of all, a passion for Africa. All crew undergo extensive training and receive continual feedback on their performance. They will ensure that your holiday in Africa is enjoyable and safe. We are very proud of the fact that we consistently receive very positive feedback from passengers praising our crew's abilities and attitude.
