Once I made an enquiry, responses were swift and before I knew it I was booked in. Very easy process and hope the ongoing response will be similar. Cannot wait for my trip. Only 4 months to go

Minette has been more than patient and helpful with my booking. Her responses have been quick and informative and her enthusiasm is making me feel that I made the right choice with the safari and the company I chose to help me make this dream vacation come to fruition. I can’t wait for April to arrive!

Huntley is absolutely outstanding and was patient with my booking. What a patient professional! Flights leaving Canada to Cape Town have been an absolute nightmare to book for December. Twice the airline had to cancel my flights in less than 1 week driving up the flight costs. But Huntley was able to coordinate with me and we successfully got it all booked for January 2023. He got all my paperwork and itinerary done by the deadline to change my booking twice because of the airlines. Thank-you so much Huntley!!!! I am looking forward to seeing Africa! You have no idea as I have been looking at this trip for the last 16 months and then COVID happened again last December 2021! :)

What an amazing worthwhile experience! Recently completed a 12 day Desert and Delta with Nomads. Great reservation agent- Reshma thankyou. Professional friendly ground crew (Calisto, Jo Jo and Godfrey - wonderful people) amazing game drives. Good value, life changing, and fell in love with Africa. The tour exceeded my expectations, and I have no hesitations recommending Nomads and will definitely book another of their tours.

I recently returned from the East Africa Migration tour and it was an absolutely amazing experience. It was beyond anything I had imagined. The booking process was quite easy and Chemone was wonderful in answering my million questions about the trip and putting me at ease as it was my first time doing an African safari. The guides in Kenya (Francis) and Tanzania (Elisha) were both amazing. They are both excellent drivers and all of us felt very safe and assured on the very bumpy roads. Elisha was also very organized and efficient in getting us going as quickly as possible on the game drives every day. Overall, it was fantastic and smooth experience and can't wait to explore more African countries in the future.

I was one of the first travelers to South Africa after the Covid Crisis began in April 2022. Tamlyn found me a tour that was running and fitted my interests. Glad things are back to normal in the country. It was an amazing experience being there!

Huntley was very helpful with finding us a tour which fit our other travel plans. He responded quickly to questions and gave me additional information regarding pre- and post- tour accommodations and things to do in Cape Town. I would definitely recommend using African Overland Tours.

Chemone was a dream to work with. She all but held our hands through it all. Due to unexpected last minute illness, my husband and I had to cancel the trip but our friends went anyway. She make all the necessary changes, got us and unexpected partial refund and helped with the claim for trip insurance. Our friend came home with the dream trip of a lifetime experience. The whole experience for us began and ended with the professional help of this lovely lady. If we do get to go again I will work with no one else!!
