The best short African overlanding safaris

Short on time? You don’t need to travel for months to experience an African overlanding safari. We have many short African overlanding safaris that you only need to take a few days of leave for, whether you want to spot lions on the baked salt pan of Etosha in Namibia, search for mountain gorillas in the forests of central Africa, watch the Great Migration on the plains of the Serengeti in Tanzania, or cruise the waterways of Botswana’s Okavango Delta in a mokoro.

3 day Etosha Budget Safari

Etosha National Park

This trip starts in Windhoek and travels up to Etosha National Park, Namibia’s flagship wildlife reserve. Even though you only have a short time in the park, you’re likely to see the Big Four – leopard, lion, rhino and elephant – as well as a host of other animals, especially if you are there during the dry winter months, when animals congregate around the few waterholes in the parched landscape.
