What is an Overland Tour?

Overland tours take place onboard the famous blue Kumuka overland truck which is recognised all over Africa as the very symbol of outdoor adventure. Overland tours are participation tours and every one gets involved in the day to day running of the trip, pitching in to cook, clean and set up camp. The more you put in to a tour, the more you’ll get out of it and the smoother the trip will run.

The Vehicles

The big blue truck will virtually be your home, perhaps for many weeks, so we make our trucks as comfortable as possible. Onboard you’ll find mostly forward facing seats, a coolbox, stereo, safe for valuables and even a small library. There is ample storage space and all of the camping/cooking equipment is carried on board. Our vehicles carry a comprehensive range of spare parts and they are all well maintained by local mechanics. Constructed to our specifications, our rugged trucks take mountains, deserts and riverbeds in their stride, and will carry you off the beaten track. Your truck crew will consist of a tour leader and a driver (some tours have a cook), who will be there to assist and offer their support and knowledge.

What's onboard?

Camping

Overland tours are 100% camping. We camp at designated camp sites as well as free camps. Our tents are of the two person type and if you are travelling solo they are shared on a same-gender basis. It is essential that you bring your own sleeping bag and mat and wherever we stop, you are expected to share in setting-up camp and helping out with the chores.

Local Payment

Our local payment covers 3 meals per day, (except on Zanzibar), and campsite fees for passengers and crew. The local payment is payable to your tour leader in US dollars cash at the pre-departure meeting. It is managed by the tour leader and one of the passengers.

Food

3 Meals a day are provided whilst camping. Cooking is done over a campfire or gas cookers and you will be suprised at the quality of food prepared and the generous helpings - some tours even come with a cook onboard. Hygene is very important and strict routines are followed to keep you healthy and happy. Special diets can be catered for - let your travel consultant know about your dietary requirements in advance.
