Overland Trips in Africa

Africa is a huge continent and so diverse in its scenery, culture, history, climate, wildlife - an overland trip is an affordable way to travel through the different countries, experiencing the highlights a country or region has to offer. Overland trips are aimed at the adventure traveller.

The African climate is hospitable and tourist facilities comfortable. Africa is very often described in the media as being an unsafe tourist destination, this pessimism is misplaced as Africa does not have the monopoly on political conflicts and endemic disaster. There are many tourist destinations in Africa where safety and security are guaranteed.
