We’re often asked about how to get from one place to another. A to B style adventures are some of our most favourite. No more so then the southern African odyssey from Cape Town to Victoria Falls. Here’s our guide to the best way to travel between them.

Are you looking for a trip that rolls the very best of Southern Africa’s dramatic landscapes, enigmatic wildlife and intriguing cultures all into one? Look no further than this 20-day overland adventure truck odyssey. Starting in Cape Town and finishing at the mesmerising Victoria Falls, you’ll be whisked through four African countries, taking in a wealth of unforgettable sights and experiences along the way.

Movement is a defining feature of this trip, and you’ll cover a lot of ground, ensuring you get the most out of your time in Africa. All the details, logistics and equipment are sorted out for the group, so you can save on stress, enjoy the ride and fully immerse yourself in the travel experience.

Part of the appeal of this adventure is the excitement involved in living with a group of intrepid fellow travellers. Most people on this trip are travelling solo, and the camaraderie involved in truck travel makes it a great option for singles keen to meet and bond with like-minded people.

Your journey will kick off with the awe-inspiring Table Mountain, where you’ll admire sweeping panoramas over one of Africa’s most iconic cities. Crossing into Namibia, the group is met by the mesmerising Fish River Canyon where there are opportunities for hiking, canoeing and taking in the sunset over a relaxed dinner.

Journeying further north, you’ll witness the breath-taking scenery of the Namib-Naukluft National Park and its famed Soussusvlei dunes. You’ll embark on several informative guided hikes and experience the eerie silence of the world’s most ancient desert at night as you bed down under the stars.

The group then heads towards Namibia’s spectacular Atlantic coast and the adventure capital of Swakopmund. Next up, is the undisputed cultural highlight: the chance to witness first-hand the traditional way of life of the distinctive Himba tribe.

Following this, you’ll have some incredible opportunities to sample some of Africa’s best wildlife. Arriving at Etosha National Park, you’ll be virtually guaranteed to see some fantastic game at the waterholes, including from the comfort of your camp in the evenings and during night drives. Following the excitement of Etosha, the beautiful landscapes and wildlife of Botswana beckon. Here, you’ll be treated to an immersive wilderness bush camping experience in the Okavango delta.

This extraordinary journey ends in Zimbabwe, home to the legendary Victoria Falls, where thrill-seekers can try their hand at white water rafting and bungee jumping.
