The words 'Cairo to Cape Town' conjure up images of African expeditions from days of old. Even today there are a multitude of challenges that this vast continent can throw at you. Desert, river, & mountain crossings are inter-twined with stunning National Parks & some of the best adrenaline fuelled activities & playgrounds in the world. This northbound trip is one that will linger in your memory long after completion.
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.
Enjoy our amazing Kenya classic safari for three days in Maasai Mara National Reserve. Our journey begins from Nairobi to the beautiful Maasai Mara, via the incredibly scenic Great Rift Valley.
Maasai Mara is especially famous for its big cat population and the Great Wildebeest Migration – a wildlife spectacle like no other on earth. The reserve hosts the highest and varied concentration of wild animals than any other park in the region. The scenic appeal of this tree studded savannah plains, its moderate climate and diversity of wild game species makes it a one stop shop for game viewing activities.
Throughout your stay in Maasai Mara, you will enjoy safaris and game drives, where you are are likely to encounter the Big Five (lions, elephants, leopards, buffaloes and rhinoceros), wildebeests, giraffes, zebras, and many more animals.
