AfricanOverlandTours.com Celebrates 18 Years of Affordable Transformational Adventures "Overlanding is the New Safari" - 500+ Trips Now Available Across Africa

Overlanding is the new safari. It's not about five-star lodges, it's about five-billion-star skies. For 18 years, we've shown travelers that Africa doesn't need to be exclusive to be extraordinary. These journeys are affordable, authentic, and often life-
Cape Town, South Africa - Sep 23, 2025 - African Overland Tours (AOT www.AfricanOverlandTours.com [http://www.africanoverlandtours.com/]), a leader in overland safari and adventure travel since 2007, is celebrating its 18th anniversary with a major milestone: more than 500 curated, affordable safari itineraries now available across East and Southern Africa.
The company's philosophy is simple but powerful: an overland safari is more than a holiday - it's a transformative journey that connects people to the landscapes, wildlife, and cultures of Africa in ways that last a lifetime.
"Our mission has always been to connect people with Africa in a way that's authentic, accessible, and unforgettable," said Andrew Walton, founder of AOT. "Overland travel strips away the barriers between traveler and destination. Yes, it can be dusty and challenging at times, but it's also freeing. It makes you realize that you are a small part of this amazing world - and that the nature around us has to be protected."
Making Safaris Accessible - and Impactful
While traditional safari experiences are often associated with high-end lodges and premium prices, African Overland Tours (AOT) has reshaped the industry by offering group overland journeys starting from just $1,500, with most averaging around $3,500. Longer expeditions, such as the 56-day multi-country trip, remain accessible compared to traditional luxury safari packages.
Travel media are increasingly recognizing this shift. As one journalist put it, "overlanding is the new safari." Unlike traditional lodge-based trips, overland adventures immerse travelers in Africa's landscapes and cultures at ground level - making the experience more affordable, more authentic, and more impactful.
Importantly, the money spent on these adventures stays where it's needed most: on the ground in Africa. Overland travelers directly support local operators, guides, campsites, and small businesses, ensuring their journey not only creates memories but also delivers a lasting positive impact to communities and conservation efforts.
Beyond Wildlife - Immersion and Discovery
African Overland Tours (AOT) emphasizes that these adventures are not just about spotting the "Big Five." They are about experiencing Africa's full spectrum: deserts, wetlands, savannas, vibrant cultures and most importantly take time out to reassess where you are travelling in your life.
Nigel, who traveled from Cape Town to Victoria Falls, described the trip as "exceeding my expectations," especially the surreal moment of climbing a towering sand dune in Namibia.
"Our reviews speak for themselves," added Andrew. "Time and again, travelers tell us that these trips change how they see the world - and themselves."
