“Thank you, again, to Reshma at Africa Overland for organizing my 2nd big camping adventure in Africa! I have now participated in 2 different tours with 2 different companies covering 8 different Southern and Eastern African countries, and they were both fabulous - good prices, super easy planning, great info, all my questions answered quickly. This year I referred 3 friends and they all had fabulous safaris as well.”

“When travelling to South Africa for the Comrades Marathon we were keen to add a tour on to our visit and see some of the magical animals and scenery on offer. We cannot speak highly enough about our contact and dealings with Lee Van Staden who from our first contact was efficient, friendly and working hard to find just the right tour for us to fit around the Comrades. As well as suggesting for us an 18 day Eco Tour to meet our identified needs, Lee provided really helpful advice about all things travel ranging from what to pack to suggestions for local food and drink and even ideas about South African gemstones! We talked with Lee for more than 6 months organising our trip and now that we are back home in Australia we can see how her organisation and knowledge made a real difference to what was a fantastic holiday including an awesome Comrades experience! Thank you Lee!”

“We recently booked 2 tours with AOT - a JNB to Capetown - few days in Cape Town, then onwards from Cape to Vic Falls. We have travelled with Nomad in the past so initially approached them directly with questions, however, in the interim, had also contacted AOT and Reshma Deva reached back across the divide between Africa and Australia - almost instantly. She has answered all our questions, guided us the whole way through the booking process and even (above and beyond) - pointed out a tour option, that we didn’t even realise was an option, which will make the whole trip just so much better. I’m not entirely sure when she sleeps - but we are so happy to have made her aquaintance. If the tours are even remotely as good as the booking experience we have had with Reshma and AOT - then we will be over the moon. Hard to believe it will be this time next year before we are on the first tour.”

“Lee was my contact before the trip, and she was amazing. Answering all odd questions of a first timer africa traveller, plus giving tips and inside knowledge. Regarding the trip it self ( cape town to vic falls) i knew that this was going to be special, but the level of "specialness" reached new levels with Nomad and OAT. Our tour leaders Mandla and Artlyn... I have no words to describe their kindness, sympathy, organization and patience. They were the soul of the trip when we already had the magnificent landscapes. The accommodations were highly above expectations ( for me they were even luxuorious, as i am a budget traveller). I asked Mandla what is his favourite accommodation on this tour and he said i cant answer, but ask me again in the end and see if you can answer... Well i didnt ( in terms of confort all were outstanding, in terms of WTF - elephant sands takes the prize) We saw heaps of animals - lions, zebras, anthilopes, mongoose, hyenas, wild dogs, crocs, hippos, elephants, girafes, bufalos, rhinos, and heaps of birds. The breakfast at dune 45 is something i will never forget ( so simple, yet so amazing). Overlanding is not vacationing, and the roads in Africa will elevate your level of "bumpiness" to estratosphere 😅 but its all part of the adventure. In the end what can resume this trip is - "if you dont go you will never know" Africa is so much more than you could ever imagine.”

“I recently returned from an unforgettable overlanding trip through Namibia Botswana and Zambia, and I have Reshma to thank for making it all happen so smoothly. From start to finish, she was absolutely amazing—quick to respond, super helpful with all my questions, and always willing to hop on a call to walk me through the details. The trip itself was incredible. Seeing lions and elephants up close in Chobe was a real highlight, and the mokoro (dugout canoe) safari through the Okavango Delta was such a peaceful, unique experience. Watching elephants gather at the waterhole right in the center of the lodge at Elephant Sands was another unforgettable moment. Our guides, Pilli Pilli and Kombu, were equally fantastic. They were not only incredibly knowledgeable about the region, wildlife, and local cultures, but also brought so much energy, humor, and warmth to the trip. They created such a fun and safe atmosphere for everyone on the tour—it truly wouldn’t have been the same without them. If you're considering an adventure like this, I can't recommend Reshma enough. She took all the stress out of planning and made sure everything was in place for a truly epic journey.”

Dear Rini, Reading your review has brought such big smiles to our faces here at African Overland Tours – thank you ever so much for sharing your "unforgettable" overlanding experience through Namibia, Botswana, and Zambia! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that Reshma was so amazing in helping you plan your journey! Her quick responses, helpfulness with all your questions, and willingness to hop on calls to walk you through details are exactly the kind of dedicated support we aim to provide. Knowing she made it all happen "so smoothly" for you is fantastic, because we believe that when the planning is stress-free, you're completely free to embrace the incredible adventure that awaits – and an adventure it certainly sounds like you had! "Lions and elephants up close in Chobe," a "peaceful, unique experience" on a mokoro in the Okavango Delta, and watching elephants at the Elephant Sands waterhole – these are the kinds of extraordinary moments that truly define an African overland tour! These experiences, so different from our daily lives, have a way of taking us right out of our comfort zones and into a world of wonder. It's in these up-close encounters with nature and unique cultural immersions that these trips often become so deeply memorable and, as many find, life-changing. And it sounds like your guides, Pilli Pilli and Kombu, were absolutely instrumental in making your trip so special! Their knowledge, energy, humor, and warmth, creating such a fun and safe atmosphere, are qualities we deeply value in the local operators we partner with. They are the ones on the ground bringing the magic to life, and it’s wonderful to hear they were so fantastic. Your high recommendation for Reshma means the world to us. Taking the stress out of planning so you could have a "truly epic journey" is precisely what we hope to achieve for every traveller. Thank you once again, Rini, for choosing African Overland Tours and for sharing such a vibrant and heartfelt account of your adventure. We are so incredibly happy for you! With sincere gratitude and the warmest wishes, The Team at African Overland Tours

“The 12 day Namibian Overland Tour was unforgettable! From the Sossusvlei to Etosha National Park. Each stop exceeded my expectations in terms of the natural beauty and planning of the trip. Dr. T (Towanda) and Mama T (Thembe) made sure that we got the most out of our experience and were available when needed. This was my first group trip, and it was great getting to know the other participants. Celia, who helped me pick the tour and assisted with the details before the trip, was amazing and responsive. Definitely recommend!”

“I did the 21 day tour of Namibia and Botswana. It started in Victoria Falls, amazing and went to the desert, the delta by canoe and endless landscape. Everyday was original and amazing, the accommodations were top notch. This tour was perfect for me, many 2 night stays, so you got to relax more. The price was reasonable for all you saw and stayed. My tour rep, Reshma, was outstanding. Helped with any question I had, and recommended several optional tours. She always responded to my emails and made me feel very comfortable with my choice of tours. Highly recommend this company and very incredible tours.”

“We booked our 20 day Cape Town To Victoria Falls tour with Nomad through AOT. Never having booked a holiday with an overseas agent I was nervous. No need to be. Lee was amazing, helping us plan the holiday and answering all our questions promptly. The adventure was amazing, definitely not a holiday. Early starts, long travel days over roads that were more corrugated dirt bowls than roads added to the adventure. Thank you Lee for helping us make amazing memories. Leanne Sydney Australia”

“Celia at African Overland tours is amazing! Nothing was too much trouble. She went out of her way to help with my changing mind and changing tours. It was a huge relief to know she had my best interests at heart, even suggesting that another tour may be fine for me even though it wasn't on her books. She wanted to make sure that I had the experience that I wanted, not one that was the easiest for HER to sell to me. Communication was excellent even with the time difference and being able to talk on the phone despite the time difference was very helpful.

“Embarking on a 12-day overland tour from Swakopmund, Namibia to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe booked with African Overland Tours was an adventure of a lifetime! As a solo female traveler, I was initially apprehensive about navigating Africa, but the structured group tour offered the perfect balance of independence and support. Booking through African Overland Tours was seamless, and their pre-trip information and assistance were invaluable in preparing me for the journey ahead. I had a lot of questions and was always answered quickly and felt reassured. Let's be real – the trip wasn't always a walk in the park. The first few days were challenging. Homesickness crept in, and the long drives coupled with setting up camp each night definitely tested my resilience. However, this is where the magic of group travel shone through. My fellow travelers were incredible! We quickly formed a tight-knit community, helping each other with tent setup (I even learned some pro tricks!), sharing stories around the campfire, and making even the long drives fun with games like Sudoku. Relationships formed that will last a lifetime and we are all still in contact. The support from our guide was also exceptional. Our lead guide, Keith, deserves a special shout-out. His warm smile and endless patience were a constant source of encouragement. He shared fascinating insights into local culture and wildlife, drawing from his own experiences growing up in Zimbabwe. I was particularly touched to see him extending his help to other tourists at Victoria Falls, even though they were not part of our group. He's a truly compassionate and knowledgeable person, and his presence made a huge difference in my overall experience. The challenges of the first few days quickly melted away when we reached Botswana. Botswana was the absolute highlight for me. The wildlife viewing was simply unparalleled. We were incredibly fortunate to witness an abundance of animals – leopard, elephants, lions, buffalo, hippos, giraffes, zebras, and even the ground hornbill, which I believe is endangered. We were so lucky! By the end of the trip, the initial homesickness was replaced by a sense of accomplishment and a tinge of sadness that it was all over. I left with not only incredible memories but also lifelong friendships and a newfound confidence. If you're looking for an authentic adventure that will challenge you, reward you, and leave you with unforgettable experiences, I highly recommend booking with African Overland Tours.”

“My recent 8-day gorilla trekking tour in Uganda was nothing short of a life-altering experience, a journey that resonated deep within my soul. It wouldn't have been the transformative adventure it was without the incredible support and expertise of African Overland Tours. As a first-time international traveler, and a complete novice to camping, I was honestly overwhelmed when I first dreamed of this trip. The research felt endless, the logistics daunting. Trying to navigate the complexities of booking on my own proved frustrating, so I reached out to African Overland Tours, and it was the best decision I made. Their guidance was invaluable, from practical advice on what to pack to insightful recommendations on activities, the honesty shared about how long some of the days may be on the road etc. They truly prepared me, not just for the trip itself, but for the profound impact it would have on my life. The gorilla trek, of course, was the pinnacle. Standing in the presence of these magnificent creatures was awe-inspiring. The connection was palpable, a reminder of our shared humanity. Seeing the baby gorillas, carefree and playful, made the challenging trek utterly worthwhile. It was a moment I'll cherish forever. Beyond the gorillas, the kindness and care I received from our guide, Richie, and our driver, Dingi, touched my heart. When I fell ill on the second night, they went above and beyond, brewing special teas for me every morning and evening throughout the rest of the tour. Their compassion was truly remarkable. This journey also gifted me with something unexpected: deep friendships. I connected with people from all walks of life, individuals I might never have met otherwise. We shared laughter, stories, and the magic of Uganda. Despite our different backgrounds, we formed a bond that transcends borders, and we've stayed in touch since returning home. Stepping into 2025 with the memories of this trip has given me a fresh perspective, a renewed appreciation for the world and its wonders. The travel bug has definitely bitten me! Thank you to the team at African Overland Tours for pairing me with a tour that suited my needs, expectations, comfort level and more.”
