Nairobi to Cape Town Nairobi to Cape Town Overland via Namibia

This trip is the perfect blend of wildlife and culture, exploring the great game parks of East Africa and getting to meet the locals on community projects that we support. Rather than just go for a game drive in the Serengeti we actually camp out in the park for 2 nights, and you shouldn't miss the chance to go game viewing from the air on a hot air balloon safari, as well as seeing the Ngorongoro Crater. We explore the stunning Usambara Mountains, visiting small villages and going on walks through the surrounding bush, before heading to the beaches of the Indian Ocean, ending the trip on the idyllic and exotic island of Zanzibar.

Down here in East Africa, life is always laid back, loads of stuff to see and do and above all people to meet. Responsible tourism is the new adventure travel buzzword, but on this overland adventure we really practice what we preach (actually we try not to preach). Then there's the Tindiga Bushmen by Lake Eyasi. African wildlife is at its most prolific on the plains of the Serengeti. Forget your average Tanzania safari, Dragoman travel overland through the Serengeti, sleeping two nights in the park surrounded by animals, travelling the length of the plains, allowing time to really explore (and even take a balloon safari) and then a third day visiting the Ngorongoro Crater Reserve. This is an adventure holiday and we will allow you the time to experience the region. That's why we take it slowly, stopping off the beaten track at Lushoto to visit small village communities and to walk through stunning hillsides whilest en route we also stop off near the base of Kili and have a wander to the gate of the National Park. After all that walking we can enjoy the relaxing beaches of the idyllic island of Zanzibar and take in the fabulous architecture and local spices. We take it slow, less driving, less rushing, more wildlife, more relaxation and more contact with the local communities.

Southern Africa is home to some of the continent's finest game reserves, and travelling overland means that we can stay right in the heart of the wildlife hotspots. Beginning at the magnificent Victoria Falls, we'll take a safari in Chobe National Park, which feels like walking into a wildlife documentary - all the animals you could ever hope to see are here. In the Okavango Delta we'll canoe through lush waterways threading through the wilderness, and you can get up close to the game in mokoro canoes. We head overland across the Kalahari to Namibia for a stay with the Bushmen, and camp in the superb Etosha National Park before travelling down the forbidding Skeleton Coast. We'll journey through the starkly beautiful Namib Desert, crossing into South Africa and ending our unforgettable trip in Cape Town.

Overland travel is an ideal way to discover the best of Botswana and Namibia as well as Victoria Falls in Zambia and Cape Town. Southern Africa is all about wildlife, with the Okavango Delta and Etosha National Park being some of the best places to take an African safari. In Botswana's Chobe National Park, known for its elephants, there is the choice of taking a boat or jeep safari. This trip is loaded with adventure activities: there are numerous options, ranging from elephant safaris and white-water rafting to quad biking through the dunes of the Namib Desert. In Southern Africa tourism is big business and it is important that we ensure that the local communities benefit from our trips. As part of our commitment to responsible travel, we will ensure that there is a community project along the way and that we allow time to visit small local communities, including overnighting in a local Bushman village.
