The Start of Your Overland Journey in Africa

Welcome to my blog for Backpacking Africa. I worked as an overland tour leader in Africa for many years. This website should help you decide between the best overland tours in Africa and what to expect on the trip. I have also created a section for travel insurance and pre-trip accommodation. To get started, click on ‘Start Here‘ in the menu and then work your way through the menu tabs: Start Here>Plan Your Trip>Pick a Tour>Travel Insurance.
