An Unfiltered Travel Guide & Photo Diary

Cape Town to the Serengeti: Deserts & Wilderness

Now's the time to explore Africa on your terms with this tour that's affordable for young travellers. Keen to check off eight countries as "been there" and journey across nearly half of the African continent? Well, give us 40 days and we'll take you on this epic overland adventure. Marvel at the world's highest sand dunes, float through the Okavango in a dugout "mokoro" canoe, and meet the San People in the blazing Kalahari Desert. You'll soak up vibrant colours, culture, and scenery from the southern tip of Africa up to Kenya. Take the road less travelled and come away with jaw-dropping photos and a deeper understanding of this incredible corner of the globe.

While some travelers prefer to fly between Africa's highlights for maximum comfort, this tour is for those who believe the journey is the destination. It's an authentic overland adventure, embracing long road days, camping under the stars, and the camaraderie of a group crossing nearly half the continent together. This trip prioritizes immersive, ground-level travel over speed and luxury.
