WELCOME TO AFRICA, the world’s most thrilling continent to experience adventure. And welcome to Africa Travel Co., one of the continents leading operators for adventure travel. Let us introduce a wide range of exciting trips through Africa’s ever-changing landscapes. WHO WE ARE Africa Travel Co. is one of the most established overland companies in Africa and is completely African based. We operate a fleet of specially built safari vehicles, in ten eastern and southern African countries, and each year sees us introduce new and innovative itineraries. We started in 1990 with one office in Harare, Zimbabwe, and after 20 years of hard work and commitment and with a professional approach, we now have operations and retail offices backed by maintenance centres in Nairobi (Kenya) and Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe), while our head office and main workshop are in Cape Town (South Africa). There is no other company that has this level of support in Africa in the overland safari industry. We believe our success and growth has been due to the fact that 90% of the people who work with us as road crew and office and workshop team are African. These are the people of Africa showing you their Africa. Our management team have had years of experience as road crew, and have enjoyed the excitement of life on the road and exploring this magnificent continent. “Safari Njema” Graeme “Thomo” Thomson and his son Shaun Founder and Managing Director As the founder of the company, I head up a team of professional management and friendly efficient road crew, and I am actively involved in the day to day operations from Nairobi in Kenya, which has now been my home for a number of years. There are a wide range of exciting trips to choose from in this brochure, so let Africa Travel Co. show you the real Africa!

Most of our overland trucks are Mercedes Benz but we operate MAN’s and Tata’s as well. These vehicles have been designed to give you, the passenger, the best in comfort and security, along with being sturdy enough to endure the sometimes harsh African roads. They are fully self-sufficient with cooking and camping equipment, long range fuel tanks, exterior and interior lighting, lockers and glass sliding windows. Great viewing points OUR CREW On most of our trips we have three crew members; the trip leader, driver and safari cook. All our crew have a love of the countries we travel through and are keen to share their knowledge and passion for Africa with you. This is one of the most important requirements of ensuring you enjoy your trip. We feel that their enthusiasm, as well as their experience, will guarantee that you will have an unforgettable trip. OUR MEALS The safari cook generally does the cooking on a trip, although we do ask that you participate in the preparation of meals on a rota basis. Meals and menus vary depending on what produce is available locally but you can be assured of three healthy meals a day, when on the road. We purchase fresh food from markets and roadside stalls along the way, which is supported by a bulk buy of goods prior to departure. In the towns and cities there is the optional alternative of sampling the fare at local restaurants. 4 | INTRODUCTION OUR ACCOMMODATION We provide spacious 2-person tents with sewn-in ground sheets and a separate fly sheet on all of our camping safaris. Most nights you will stay in set campsites which have hot water showers and extra facilities such as a bar, laundry or pool. We use the same properties for campers and lodge based clients. On certain tours there will be options to do a overnight safari in a national park, which we either be bush camping or a mobile camp depending on your chosen tour type. Campsites vary but cater for the needs of overlanders. Why choose Africa Travel Co.? WHY CHOOSE AFRICA TRAVEL CO.?

Budget Accommodated Trips On our budget accommodated trips we have various tours to choose from in southern and east africa. “Interested in adventure group tours but not in camping?” Why not book a budget accommodated trip and still experience Africa with a group of like minded travellers. On the budget accommodated tour you will be sharing the truck, the equipment and the chores with your fellow passengers who have booked the camping option. Each overland truck carries everything needed to be completely self-sufficient. On our trips we use twin share rooms which you share with a fellow traveller, and there is an option of upgrading to a single supplement. The accommodation is budget accommodation and it can vary from establishment to establishment. We stay in establishments along our routes that specifically cater for overland passengers. Bear in mind many of the establishments in Africa can be very basic and have a great rustic “under African skies” feel. When partaking in the budget accommodated trips, you will be sitting around the campfire with your fellow camping travellers and enjoy your meals together as a group. All the day to day chores such as cleaning, washing-up, checking security and helping the Safari Cook shop and prepare meals are shared amongst all the passengers. But, there’s still plenty of time for relaxation and sightseeing and itineraries build in chill out time, wildlife spotting and the various activities on offer. Expect to be swept away on an adventure of a lifetime; packed with the best Africa has to offer. Our safaris are designed to stimulate your senses and take you on an exhilarating journey through diverse cultures, incredible wildlife and exceptional landscapes that will leave you breathless.
