The Classic African Road Safari
There is a reason the overland safari remains the way most travellers fall in love with Africa. Rolling through the gates of the Maasai Mara at dawn, crossing the border into the Serengeti’s endless plains, watching the landscape change from savannah to crater highlands — an overland tour stitches the great parks of East Africa into one unforgettable journey.
Tour Africa runs overland tours from 3-day Kenyan highlights to 14-day multi-country expeditions across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda. Travel in rugged 4×4 Land Cruisers or pop-up roof safari vans with an experienced driver-guide who handles every border, park gate, and campsite along the way.
