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.

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.
