Overland travel works with the ethos that everyone on board the overland truck participates together as part of a team, and the bonds forged on Africa trips for many comprise a huge part of the success of the trips. Regularly friends of a life time are made, an Africa trip, with its relaxed camping lifestyle and special shared experiences, being a great place to make friends.

African Workshop
We operate 10 overland trucks from the workshop in Tanzania.
Your Absolute Africa overland truck is serviced thoroughly prior to each overland safari. The overland trucks are then maintained on an ongoing basis along the route by your experienced overland driver. The workshop in Arusha, Tanzania, also does a careful check of all equipment with your crew to ensure the overland safari trucks are well maintained and on-the-ground handling arrangements run smoothly.
We also arrange Kilimanjaro treks using our own experienced specialist trekking team.
When overlanding with Absolute Africa you can take advantage of dealing directly with an African operator for your Africa trip with an established base in Africa, with effective arrangements on the ground as well as around the clock back up and support from the UK office.
