From Table Mountain to Kenya's bustling capital of Nairobi, this epic fifty-six day African overland safari covers all the highlights of nine countries in southern and east Africa.

Beginning in dynamic Cape Town, easily one of the most beautiful cities in the world, we visit the giant sand dunes in Namibia's Namib-Naukluft Park, the vast wilderness of the Okavango Delta and the thundering Victoria Falls.

Idle away sunny days on Lake Malawi, bask on palm-backed beaches on Zanzibar, watch thousands of animals trample the plains of the Masai Mara and the Serengeti, and stare into the soft brown eyes of a gorilla.
