KRUGER TO OKAVANGO DELTA – SEPTEMBER 2025
A 22 day luxury 4×4 guided tour through some of Africa’s best wilderness destinations.
From the very beginning, our aim has been to guide guests through Africa’s most cherished locations. We blend popular landmarks with lesser-known trails, offering a true sense of discovery at every turn. In partnership with renowned experts Paul Marsh 4×4 and Essence of Overlanding, we’ve crafted a series of tours that showcase the full spectrum of African overlanding.
Behind the wheel of your rented 4×4, you’ll venture along rugged backroads and weave through majestic landscapes. This journey immerses you in settings few tourists experience. Additionally, our routes balance adventure with comfort, ensuring you enjoy local luxury at each stop. So, you can experience the raw beauty of Africa without compromising on comfort.
Each day on tour is crafted to deepen your connection to Africa’s landscapes and people. For those seeking to go beyond the ordinary, the Gateway to Africa tour provides the perfect blend of adventure, discovery, and genuine connection to the heart of the continent.
