About this trip
Four weeks overland across southern Africa, camping most nights and covering serious ground between Cape Town and Victoria Falls. This is a trip for people who want wildlife, wide-open landscapes, and the rhythm of life on the road rather than fixed hotels and set timetables.
You'll take in desert dunes, deep canyons, and game drives across three national parks, with Victoria Falls and a traditional dinner and dance along the way. Expect long drives between stops, nights under open sky, and guides who know the region well.
What you'll do
- Game drives in Etosha, Kruger and Matobo National Parks
- Stand before Victoria Falls
- Camp out under southern African night skies
- Cross the towering dunes of the Namib
- Explore deep canyon landscapes en route
- Share a traditional dinner and dance
- Camping-based — you'll be putting up tents and living outdoors for much of the trip
- Long overland drives between stops, so this suits travellers happy to spend hours on the road
- Plenty of optional activities available if you want to add extras along the way
Worth it if you're after immersive Southern Africa in 28 days and don't mind camping. Think twice if you want fewer early starts, lighter packing duties, or prefer hotel comfort.
- Guides George and Chris were genuinely knowledgeable; learning from local CEOs set this apart from competitors.
- Frequent tent camping with nightly setup and breakdown got tedious; included activities felt low-intensity for younger travellers.
- Covered stunning landscapes, wildlife, culture and Planeterra community projects; saw far more than solo travel would allow.
- Group travel meant meeting people who became genuine friends; the social element was reliably strong across reviews.
