Africa Arrival & Departure

OverlandingAfrica.com can assist with accommodation, car hire, flights and any day tours and activities in one cheap and easy package.

Accommodation in Africa

Pre Tour

If you arrive a few days early in the departure city of your overland tour, OverlandingAfrica.com is able to organize your hotel or Africa hostel accommodation at very affordable rates. Please contact your overland consultant who will be able to assist you with accommodation ranging from low-budget hostels to more up-market hotels/lodges.

Post Tour

Generally speaking, our clients do not pre-book any accommodation in Africa for after their trip. You will find that you meet many travelers and you might end up sharing accommodation with them. However, for complete peace of mind, OverlandingAfrica.com is able to book you post-tour accommodation too.

Africa Car Hire

If you are in a city for an extended length of time then you may wish to hire a car or even try out a day tour in that city. We can arrange any activities and tours that you need help in organizing.

Eric26 Jan 2012: I'm quite curious about your tours. I'm in my middle 50s, but very fit and live in the Midwest USA. I'm seriously considering a 2-3 week trip. So this is my first contact and in the coming weeks I plan to investigate your programs more closely.
Minette - OverlandingAfrica.com09 Dec 2011: Hi Patricia, we only have scheduled overland truck safaris available where we do have a trip that meet up with the Bushmen in Botswana but that is only for 1 night. I have sent you an email with more information on options. Happy trails!
patricia09 Dec 2011: 1, Please organise me a direct trip(if possible)flying from durban to the place I will meet your crew in Namibia. 2. I want to do the budget 'windhoek to windhoek' trip. 3. I however need to meet with San people somewhere along the line for an authentic experience with them. I need to interview them for research.I need to avoid at all costs a 'contrived' setup. Can you devise something that includes the rest that you offer? 4. I am a partial vegetarian but eat fish and chicken. 5. I am happy to share a tent, but need a bit of a comfortable lie down place at night. Dont have any other particular fancies. Happy on any road worthy truck. Please email me on my gmail to inform me and to suggest something. Thanks Patricia
Minette - OverlandingAfrica.com14 Oct 2011: Hi Shuree. This will all depend on the airline you decide to book with and naturally where in Africa you will be flying to. Africa is a huge place with many countries and destinations. Flight costs range to time of year, the route the airline will use getting to the destination in Africa and so forth. I would recommend you contact your local travel agent in your town for more assistance on flights to Africa. Happy trails!
