Weather and road conditions can change things significantly, so embrace the detours, shortcuts, and unforgettable moments along the way., This is an overland trip. That means you’ll be travelling with a group in a purpose-built vehicle, visiting remote communities, setting up your own tent, occasionally roughing it in the bush with no facilities, and getting the best possible views of Africa's iconic wildlife.

The drive days can be long, but it’s as much about the journey as the destination, and half the fun is the camaraderie.
