African Routes are the first Africa-based tour company to cater for the 18 - 35 age group.

They specialise in camping adventure safaris for backpacker/student/price -conscious travellers. A mix of nationalities travelling together, eager to experience the incredible variety which Africa has to offer.

The Overcoaches that African Routes operate are custom-built and have a unique design, which is hard to miss. The rough and rugged durability of the overland trucks have been combined with the comfort and speed of a coach - a previously unheard of combination. It is well adapted for the varying road conditions it will encounter en route, from remote pot-holed dirt tracks to tarred motorways, the high-powered turbo engine minimises time on the road and maximises time at the highlights.

Things don't always work out quite as planned in Africa. It is frustrating, but you can be sure it's equally fascinating. As a guest in another land, flexibility and an open mind will introduce a wealth of unforgettable experiences.

Whether you have time for only a glimpse or the freedom to enjoy a multi-country adventure, these safaris are excellent value for money.
