Tour Detail

This is an amazing chance for you to travel overland from London to Istanbul , down the entire African west coast then back up thru eastern Africa and into the Middle East, ending in Istanbul.

The Utimate Trans Africa is the longest Trans Africa expedition available in Africa. On this safari you will experience an unusual range of African culture, geography and climate. The Trans covers about 42,000 kilometres of the African continent by road, starting in Europe to the Cape of Good Hope in southern Africa. The trip then continues to Nairobi, Cairo and Istanbul. more precisely we travel farther then the circumference of the earth, which at the equator is only 24,902 mi / 40,076 km.

Make a break for the open road less travelled on the ultimate Africa overland challenge. From the Moroccan markets of Fez and Marrakech, South into the Western Sahara following the ancient West African trading routes and camel trains into Mali . On through the jungles of Ghana , we travel to Togo and Benin where local cafes and beaches provide endless variety of entertainment. We travel accross Nigeria into Cameroon , and continue on through The Democratic Republic of Congo and Angola.
