We are an organisation that does an safarie from Cape Town to Kampala (Equator) and back every 5 years. The company has done 5 tours in the past and is planning on another at the end of 2013. This short mail is just to find out if your company does provide Overlanders with or without an driver that can be hired for such a trip. Kind Regards Koos

Hello I drove with Dragoman in Morocco and west Africa; do you need any drivers? I am however ancient (44) and know some companies like the cool young and hip vibe. If you employ dinosaurs with clean licences would you give me a call? Thanks Pete

Hi! I was wondering if someone could please email me some information on tours of the Kruger National Park and Vic falls that starts in JHB and also ends back in JHB. My partner and I will be traveling to South Africa during Feb 2012. Im not really too keen on camping but any info on tours to these to places will be much appreciated.

Hi Darren! Awesome mate; I have emailed you some information. Cheers!

I am currently looking at companies to become a member of crew with. Having led groups overseas for years; with HGV1; a background in Mechanics and a real want to stay in Africa for the next couple of years this seems like an ideal opportunity. How do you recruit crew leaders/drivers from the UK? I am currently based in Kampala but there is virtually no work down here so i'm seeking out opportunities to begin in the next 6 months or so I look forward to hearing back from you.

Hi Audrey; You can certainly partake in this trip. Most of the people that travel on overland trips are solo or independent travellers; however you do get couples and friends travelling together too. I have emailed you some more information; so keep an eye on your inbox!

Hi; I was looking for a 7-day tour in South Africa and came across your website. The "Cape Town and Garden Route" tour has particularly drawn my attention. Actually; I will volunteer in a private game reserve near Krugger National Park from October 29th to November 26th and I'm looking for another 5/7 day stay starting on November 27th. As I am travelling alone; is it possible to take part in this tour? Feel free to contact me for any further details. Thank you very much in advance. Kind regards; Audrey Kern 46; rue de Hagenthal 68220 Hégenheim France

Hi Dee; please refer to the trip webpage and you will notice the cost of the trip on the page. I have sent you an email with more information. Cheers!

Interested in going to Ethiopia for 3 weeks - saw your tours but can't locate cost. We are 2 well travelled senior from the U.S.

Im realy interested in travalling and i think Africa would be a fantastic experience.

Hi Astrid; we have a range of trips that will be of interest to you. I have sent you some information via email. Cheers!

I need to plan a 21 days trip; luxurios; for may husband and me; starting december 23; 2011. He lived in south africa for almost 2 years in the end of the 70's. he would like to see: capetown; kimberly; kohannesburg; krugerpark; victoria falls are his top sights but not the only ones

Hi Susan; we don't have any singles specific trips; however most people that book an overland trip are solo or independent travelers. I have emailed you some more information. Cheers!!

Hi i am interested in a singles trip to So Africa combining some safari and sightseeing. Which is your best tour?

Hi Mr Halai; We will be able to assist you. I have emailed you some information. Cheers!

can you organise an escorted tour for 4 couples in 12 seater with budgeted accomodation rather than pitching tents every day for 3 weeks in crugar national park;victoria falls;okowango deltascalaton coast;sosusveili;and captown.

Hi Whitney! The difference between the two is that the Kruger Lodge Safari is an accommodated trip; whereas the Kruger Safari is camping - other than that they are pretty much the same. Most people on any trip are solo/independent travelers; however you do get couples or friends traveling together. Cheers!

Hi; What's the difference between the Kruger Lodge Safari and the Kruger Safari? Also; do most people travel with companions or do you often accommodate single travelers? Thanks.

Hey there Chris! Thanks mate; we all love what we do and that is to share our love and passion of Overlanding!! Hope to see you on one of our trips. Cheers!

Overlanding Africa.com is great!

Hi Justin; It really depends on the trip but these days the age range is really mixed. On average you could say most people are late 20's; early 30's however some trips favor older people and some younger. Most people on any trip are solo/independent travelers but you will find a few couples or mates traveling together. The minimum age is 18 on any regular overland trip and you could find people range from 18 to 80. Have fun!

What is the average age for travellers on longer trips to africa? (6 weeks or more) Im a fairly young guy (just turned 20) and I am curious the range of ages. Do you get many people travelling alone? whats the youngest age for a lone traveller on a long expedition?

Hey Trevor; Any activity that falls into a destination anywhere between Cape Town and Nairobi has provision made for it in the trip itinerary as a standard feature. Therefore time is allowed and you won't have to catch up with your truck or get the next one. Most activities in either Nairobi or Cape Town cities will be done before or after your trip only. Hope that makes sense. :)

I was looking at the Cape Town to Nairobi with Gorilla Trek;could you explane how extras work as some are away from the tour for several days.Does the tour wait or you catch next one?

Hi Jan; Children are allowed on selected trips (depending on their age) and I have emailed you some options. Happy travels!

Hi We were interested in going from Johannesburg to Cape Town overland but the problem is we have a 12 year old girl accompanying us and I could not find any suitable tours(family tours). We are a very well travelled family(we have travelled extensively in Asia and South America) and we camp;tramp(hike) and travel a lot(we camped and travelled in the States and Canaada for 3 months when our children were 12 and 7) We feel our daughter could easily cope with the 23 day Vic Falls to Capetown tour but are children allowed?

Hi Edith; I would be happy to assist you with your inquiry. I have emailed you about the options you are interested in. If there are any other questions I would be happy to answer them for you. Cheers

I would like to go to an accomodated tour; for about 4-6 weeks; and to visit S.Africa from Cape Town; Johannesbourg; till Nairobi; including Namibia(if it is possible)Mali; Maui; watching animals; nature and pple from the regions.I would like to arrive in February '11. Finishing in Kenia; I would like to complete the tours by others; which are not included. I would like to leave Africa by 15.4.2011; to fly to Miami. I would like to consult one of your consultants about. Thanks. Edith Gluck

HI. Me and some of friends really wish to visit mozambique in the upcoming december holidays.we would like to stay somewhere near or on the beach an just relax,however we have a very limited budget. Do you have any advice on what would be the best accomodation at rather low prices?? thanks

Not at the moment; sorry.

Do you guys have any job openings?

Hi there Pearl The climate of Mozambique is typically tropical; with a wet season during summer; between October and March; and a dry season from April to September. There is little variation of temperatures between the seasons; differences being dependent on altitude. The wet season brings the heaviest rain along the coast; and cyclones are also experienced during this period.Temperatures along the coast averaging 80°F (27°C) with average coastal temperatures of 88°F (31°C). Cheers

I would like to find out if Mozambique's wether is more like Durban in South Africa ? If Its is cold how bad does it normally get ? especially around the 20 nties in April ?

Hi Brenda; We specialize in overland tours and I suggest you contact World Vision for accommodation suppliers in the area as often they will get you lower rates. Cheers

Hi Greg; Where are you looking to travel to? The Mozambique coast is pretty long and conditions change depending on where you are. I suggest you look at local surf or weather websites for more accurate info - we specialize in overland trips and fishing is not something we get to do a lot! ;)

How's the wind and fishing in september?

I want to visit my sponsored child who lives in Marara ADP; Tete Province and wondered where I could stay while I'm their. I have contacted World Vision to express my wishes and they are waiting for me to make my decision and organise my flight/hotel details.

Hi Patrick; We do the longer overland trips through Victoria Falls and do not have anything as short as you require. However all you need to do is book a return flight from Johannesburg; jump in a taxi at Vic Falls airport and book a nights accommodation. Any activities in Vic Falls are either within walking distance of the Falls or can be organised with a local Vic Falls booking agent. Book and pay directly on the day. Have fun!

want a 2 day trip return from j'burg to vic falls around 2oth aug 210 for myself and my wife-how much

Hi Vickum; The trucks can change depending on the departure date but it will be almost identical to the green truck pictured above. All Mercedes trucks. Drive days can range from 4 to 9 hours depending on road conditions etc but I would say an average would be approx 7 plus stops. Happy travels!

Hi - What type of truck is use in the Nairobi to Cape Town epic. Whats the average time you spend travelling in the truck per day?

HI Felicity; I have great options on Cape Town to Vic Falls tours leaving every Sunday and Wednesday.I also have the cheapest way to transit back to Johannesburg after your tour. I have emailed you detailed information on this offer. Cheers Dayne

I am interested in doing a tour from Cape Town up to Vic Falls; over i will need transport back to J-burg to catch our flights home to NZ? It is myself and my partner travelling. We would like to do a camping tour? we want to do the tour in October this year. How would be get from vic Falls back to J-burg? Felicity King.

Hi Johan; Sounds like a great plan! And you are right - rather wait until after the World Cup (or go before) when prices and availability are back to normal. One of our consultants will be getting hold of you today to get some more info so we can sort you out a itinerary and price. Have a blast!

I am organising a 2-week overland trip in SA for a bunch of friends. The idea is to spend one week in and around CT (incl. the garden route) and then one week Safari in Kruger; without spending too much time in between. I am hoping to get a group of 20-30 people together and guess it makes sense to do it a few weeks after the world cup for the prices to go down; some time in August or September. Would it be possible to organise a tour just for us and how much would it cost; more or less? Regards johan

We'll have 5 kids; ages 16 through 11; and 3 adults in their late 40's in August 2010 in South Africa. (Most likely Aug. 12 through 22). We're looking for a wonderful; affordable family vacation that will start and end (or allow us to get back to Jo-burg)but will take us through Botswana and Vic Falls. We'll have already stayed with South African friends and have done all that we want in the country of South Africa. Thanks for your advise.
