WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT
Embark on a wild adventure through the unspoiled territories of Southern Africa, exploring iconic landmarks and hidden gems across four countries. This one-of-a-kind self-drive overlanding tour ventures off the beaten track into remote reserves and secluded campsites that few ever reach.
We navigate lesser-known trails that demand a robust, well-equipped 4×4 and off-road trailer. Throughout this 25-day expedition, we’ll travel deep into the heart of Africa — enjoying game drives, campfires under star-filled skies, and unforgettable close encounters with elephants, hyenas, and even lions.
Our experienced CATHSSETA-qualified guide will lead you every step of the way as we explore celebrated parks, discover secluded lakeshores, and follow legendary trails across Botswana, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and South Africa.
More than a tour — this is an overlanding pilgrimage that will challenge your spirit and offer once-in-a-lifetime experiences you’ll treasure forever.
