Go Further, Dig Deeper

Overland in Africa

is a South African-based adventure travel company with a team that has been selling overland tours since 2003. We bring more than two decades of experience, firsthand destination knowledge and a shared love of Africa to every adventure we help you plan.

For us, the excitement starts long before you climb aboard an overland truck. It starts with finding the right journey for you — the places you have always wanted to see, the experiences you cannot wait to try and a style of travel that suits your budget and sense of adventure.

Go Further, Dig Deeper

17 Years of True African Overland.

We don't sell holidays; we craft expeditions. Our mission is to provide the most authentic, budget-savvy, and expertly supported African road journey available.

Our History

Meet the people behind your adventure

Our team is made up of experienced travel consultants who know and love the destinations we sell. Between us, we have travelled to every country featured on our website, exploring Southern and East Africa and experiencing the landscapes, wildlife and cultures that make each destination worth discovering.

That experience helps us bring your travel adventure to life. We can talk you through what to expect on the road, how destinations differ and what to consider when choosing between camping and accommodated overland tours. We understand that the journey matters just as much as the stops along the way — from long driving days and border crossings to early morning game drives and evenings around the campfire.

We love sharing that knowledge and helping you feel excited, informed and ready for the adventure ahead.

The Expert's Promise

Group adventures are our speciality

From small-group journeys to larger overland expeditions, our speciality is helping travellers explore Africa together.

Whether you want to camp beneath African skies, stay in comfortable accommodation, explore wildlife-rich national parks, meet local communities or get your adrenaline pumping. We offer a wide range of adventure tours to suit different interests, budgets and comfort levels.

Travelling as part of a group is also about the people you meet. Shared experiences, road-trip stories and those unforgettable “remember when” moments are all part of what makes an overland adventure so special.

A wonderful trip for my family and friends

Hi Liezl,

Thank you for arranging such a wonderful trip for my family and friends. Everything went smoothly and the accommodations was great, including the great service at all places we stayed at. We appreciated that you got the vehicles changed and it really worked out well for us.

The package we received for the trip, was really helpful during our trip. The one thing to note, is that the vehicles did not come Wifi, however it was no issue for us, as everyone had arranged for a cell phone data package.

Thanks again for arranging the trip and I will definitely share your information, with anyone wanting to do similar trips.

A wonderful trip for my family and friends

Hi Liezl,

Thank you for all your help! It was a wonderful trip, and I couldn't have asked for better. I would've loved to spend another day in Etosha but this trip itinerary gave the best overall experience of Namibia. It was also so very safe!

I'll be sure to put friends and family in contact with you for future trips.

Thanks again!
