The vast continent of Africa is a diverse mélange of landscapes, cultures, people, experiences and fascinating wildlife, home to some of the most beautiful terrain, intriguing animals and captivating natural wonders on the planet. An increasingly popular destination, Africa’s variety is second to none – from walking with gorillas to riding a luxury train through the midlands, following an implausibility of wildebeest as they migrate through the Serengeti plains or whale watching in Hermanus – diversity abounds.

Africa’s cultural heritage is rich and varied – from the proud Masai people of northern Tanzania to South Africa’s Zulu tribesmen – traditional rituals, ceremonies and tribal customs play a hugely important role in African identity. With a long and fascinating history, masses of wildlife, unparalleled hospitality, accommodation to suit all budgets and experiences to cater to all tastes, Africa is a destination for everyone.

An overland tour is the best way to travel from Kenya's capital of Nairobi to Johannesburg in South Africa - these exciting camping trips will take you from the sprawling plains of the Masai Mara to the incredible Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania, on to the exotic spice island of Zanzibar, and through Malawi to the thunderous Victoria Falls. From here continue into Botswana, where you can see the elephants of Chobe National Park before continuing to Kruger National Park to spot the 'Big Five' - lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, hippo and buffalo. End your journey in the city of Johannesburg, before taking flight to the land down under.
