Desert, river, & mountain crossings are inter-twined with stunning National Parks & some of the best adrenaline fuelled activities & playgrounds in the world.

Please note that the accommodation on this trip is predominantly camping, though there may be opportunities to upgrade this locally where rooms are available. Please see the trip inclusions for an approximate percentage of camping and room nights.
Note: This is our new itinerary operating on this route starting from 2025. We now include Eswatini, the Caprivi strip in Namibia, more time in Mozambique, and time in Zambia, Burundi, Somaliland and Djibouti. As we are not currently able to drive through Sudan or parts of northern Ethiopia, our route now finishes in Addis Ababa and the group will then take a flight from there to Cairo (flight not included). The Egyptian section of the trip is then finished using local transport and hotels instead of the truck. We ran our 2023 and 2024 departures this way in Egypt and it worked well.
Experience the incredible diversity of Southern Africa - from the abundant wildlife of the Okavango Delta, Etosha and Addo National Park, to the breathtaking scenery of the Namib Desert, Fish River Canyon and the Drakensburg Mountains. Try your hand at white water rafting, bungy jumping, quad biking & dune sledding at one of the adrenaline havens, Victoria Falls, Swakopmund or Cape Town. This truly is a trip to stun the senses.
Note: This is one of our Overland Adventures which are run using one of our specialist famous yellow overland expedition trucks. Trips are run on a participatory basis – you’ll be involved in the day to day running of the trip and have fun taking turns helping to shop and cook for the group. Expect to sometimes get dusty and dishevelled and not to be able to have hot showers every night. Groups of up to 24 people are led by our crew of two.

Our Overland Adventures provide once in a life time experiences and whilst some safari activities may be included in the itinerary, or be available to book locally, this should not be considered a traditional safari holiday, though we consider that part of the fun!!
