New Year African overlands

You could do a last minute trolley dash in the sales – those beige slacks have been reduced yet again! Alternatively, sod the credit crunch, put some colour in your life and book a ticket on an African overland.

Dragoman still has space on three departures of its excellent value, adventure-packed 23-day African overland, from Nairobi to Victoria Falls – 19th January, 8th February and 19th March 09 (the latter departure operates in reverse).

Travel through the heart of Africa on a stunning overland route that includes the beautiful beaches of Zanzibar and Victoria Falls, one of the world's greatest natural wonders. In Tanzania, go wild camping in Serengeti NP, take a jeep safari in spectacular Ngorongoro Crater and overnight at Mt. Kilimanjaro, plus see a side of Africa well off the usual tourist trail, in the small villages of Usambara Mountains.

Relax on the tropical spice island of Zanzibar before hitting the road again, travelling through Mikumi NP, en route to Malawi. Explore the local markets along the way and visit a community project at Malawi’s Luwawa Forest Lodge. Crossing into Zambia, head for Victoria Falls, Africa's adventure capital, and get your adrenaline highs in any number of ways - bungee jumping, taking a flight across the Falls, white-water rafting or riding an elephant.

The tour costs £725 p/p plus kitty $1,010 (~£684) (~£657 kitty for March departure) including travel aboard Dragoman’s customised Mercedes-Benz truck, hotel and camp accommodation, all camp meals plus the expertise of Dragoman's two person crew and local campmaster. Flights are not included but are available through Dragoman.
