Why Go Overlanding?

Being an African Overlander is about being willing to take on adventure, and assisting your guides, crew and fellow passengers in a communal form of travel. Suitability for our trips is not about age or fitness it's about being able to expect the unexpected & to take the rough with the smooth - whether you're up to your knees in mud rescuing your sinking truck, or searching for the only bush in the desert to squat behind. You will often find that you will need to work together, whether it's cleaning out your truck or bartering in the local markets for the day's dinner.

It's the adventure of a lifetime!

Tania - OverlandingAfrica.com17 Nov 2010: Hi Ryan, I am not sure which 8 week trip you are asking about so can't help with in depth info sorry. Truck info and maximum number of clients depends on the specific trip. The rates are per person and include all camping and cooking equipment. Have a look at the Before you go, About Overlanding and FAQ pages which will answer most of your questions, or drop us a line at info@overlandingafrica.com. Cheers!
ryan hansan16 Nov 2010: Hello, Looking for some more info on the 8 week tour. What truck would we use? How many people would be on the truck? Is the EUR 3180 charge per person? Do you provide camping equipment? I am very interested and hope you can help me out. Thanks!

So what is life like on the road?
