Overlanding Safaris in Africa

An overland safari tour is the ultimate most authentic way to explore Africa, Overlanding in Africa is all about travelling by road in specially adapted expedition trucks and immersing yourself in the culture and environment of the countries you visit. Kenya’s capital Nairobi is usually the starting point for Overland trips as this offers travelers the option of combining a safari in Kenya with either gorilla trekking in Uganda or a safari to Tanzania’s famous Serengeti National Park or the Ngorongoro Crater. An overland truck is designed to take on whatever Africa can throw at them. The overland trucks are built high off the ground with big windows that can slide open all the way. This makes them perfect for the best views on a Safari.

Our overland safari trucks are custom built with comfortable seats and an ample leg room. Each overland safari truck carries everything needed for an adventure safari that includes a fully equipped kitchen with cooking equipment, a fridge, enough food, cutlery, pots, pans, gas stove, food and water supplies plus tents, camping gear , tables, chairs and spare parts.
