Country Information

  • Overland Camping Safari

 - From the dynamic city of Cape Town to the scorched deserts of Namibia and the wildlife sanctuaries of Botswana and Zimbabwe, this overland camping safari is designed to show the highlights of the region. On a journey of contrasts, we will canoe the Orange River, climb giant sand dunes, game drive in some of Africa's best-known parks, and admire the mighty Victoria Falls. We cover a great deal of distance on some remote and rough roads—clients must be prepared for this—but the natural wonders that we encounter more than compensate for any discomfort. For those who truly seek adventure.

Departure guaranteed with a minimum of 4 passengers.
