About the trip

This 39-night overland adventure with G Adventures weaves through South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Zambia, Tanzania, and Kenya, camping most nights along the way. Starting in cosmopolitan Cape Town, the journey snakes through landscapes from the towering dunes of the Namib Desert to the Okavango Delta’s waterways, where travellers paddle in traditional “mokoro” canoes.

Safari drives in Etosha, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro offer chances to spot the iconic “big five” from 4x4 vehicles, while cultural stops include the San communities in the Kalahari and craft markets in Mfuwe. The itinerary includes a three-day Zanzibar excursion with its spice plantations, providing a contrast to the wilderness of the mainland.

Travelling on a comfortable safari truck, participants camp under the stars, pitching in with meal prep and site setup. The trip finishes in Nairobi, providing an immersive route that balances wildlife, culture, and landscapes across a substantial part of southern and East Africa.
