River Dream #3: 18 October 2025 – 02 November 2025 (6 Spots Left)

Discover the untamed heart of Southern Africa, where iconic destinations like Hwange National Park and Mana Pools are just the beginning. Join us as we embark on a journey to the most remote and breath-taking vistas. Traversing thousands of hectares, we promise an escapade filled with awe-inspiring landscapes that will forge tales you’ll recount for years.

We’ve charted a course away from the trodden path, utilizing lesser-known tracks that require a sturdy 4×4 vehicle with high clearance, suitable for navigating the rugged trails and towing off-road camping trailers.

Our gathering will commence in a serene nature reserve, where we’ll unite for an inaugural evening of camping. Here, I’ll conduct a thorough check of vehicles and gear, ensuring everything is in top shape for the adventures ahead.

The true quest begins with a fortnight of exploration through Africa’s pulse. We’ll immerse in the Game Reserves, frequent renowned campsites, and embark on numerous safaris to encounter the wilds. Every day promises its own brand of magic and the delightful anticipation of the unexpected.

With campsites nestled in the embrace of nature, unfenced and inviting, anticipate visits from the majestic elephants, cunning hyenas, and perhaps the noble lion among other wildlife denizens.

The thrill of proximity to these wild creatures may be daunting, yet it’s the essence of true adventure—a bold and thrilling endeavour that we assure you is both safe and exhilarating.

Seize the opportunity for what may become a pinnacle experience in your overlanding journey. Secure your place with us today, and prepare for an adventure that will echo throughout your life.
