You’ve heard the word “overlanding”.

But what does it actually mean?

It means Africa isn’t simply something you fly over between attractions.

You travel through it.

Across borders. Through changing landscapes. Past villages, cities, coastlines, mountains and huge stretches of open road.

There are game drives and famous landmarks, of course.

But there are also roadside stops, shared meals, campsites, border days, conversations on the truck and places you might never have known existed.

That’s the difference.

The destination matters.

But so does everything that happens on the way there.

Some journeys quietly come to an end.
Others finish beside one of Africa's most famous natural landmarks.

Victoria Falls makes a very good full stop.

After days or weeks on the road, crossing countries and watching landscapes change, you arrive at the Zambezi and realise the journey saved something enormous for last.

Not a bad way to finish December either.

Grandparents want comfort.
Parents want everyone to have a good time.
Teenagers want something worth telling their friends about.
Younger children want to know when they're seeing an elephant.

That's exactly why a private group itinerary makes sense.

The route, pace, accommodation and activities can be built around the people actually travelling, rather than forcing everyone into someone else's idea of the perfect holiday.

Safari Group Tours offers camping, accommodated and blended options for private groups.

Question for December:
Safari or beach?

This is the wrong question.

The Best of East Africa & Zanzibar journey takes you through the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Serengeti and Ngorongoro before the scenery changes completely and the Indian Ocean takes over.

🤪 Sixteen days.
🦁 Wildlife first.
🦵 Bare feet later.

There is currently a 21 December departure listed, which means you could finish 2026 somewhere very different from where you started it.

Why spend weeks travelling through Africa?
Because this continent was never meant to be squeezed into seven days.

One morning you're crossing open savannah. A week later you're beside a lake. Then there are desert roads, border crossings, game drives, unfamiliar towns, campfires and eventually, perhaps, the Indian Ocean.

Longer overland journeys give you something a quick holiday can't.
Time to actually watch Africa change around you.

If you've been saving your leave for something worthwhile, December might be the time to use it.

The famous places get all the photographs.

But ask someone who has travelled overland through Africa what they remember and you'll often hear about everything in between.

The roadside stop, the meal everyone helped prepare, the ridiculous conversation six hours into a drive, the town you'd never heard of, the sunset you weren't expecting, or the people who started as strangers.

That's the part you can't really put on an itinerary.
And it's one of the biggest reasons to travel Africa overland.

December is close. Maybe this year, don't just fly over the bits in between.

Botswana doesn't need much help being dramatic.

One day you're watching elephants beside the Chobe River. Another, you're moving quietly through the waterways of the Okavango Delta.

And when you arrive overland, Botswana isn't an isolated holiday destination. It's another chapter in a much bigger African journey.

December is getting very close. If Botswana has been on the list, start looking at the routes now.

Leave on the 12th.
Or the 18th.

Stay longer here.
Skip that.

Add a safari.
Add a beach.

Camp some nights.
Choose a lodge for others.

Travel with your family.
Take the friends.

Safari Group Tours builds itineraries around the group's time, interests, comfort and sense of adventure.

Which is useful, because your December doesn't need to look like anybody else's.

If your December gallery normally consists of food, traffic and the same swimming pool, perhaps 2026 is the year to change the album.

Final whistle.
Season done.

Now, imagine the team somewhere completely different.

Watching elephants instead of game footage.
Standing at Victoria Falls instead of another restaurant table.
Ending the day around a fire rather than heading home after a team dinner.

Safari Group Tours creates flexible itineraries for sports groups, including team getaways, tours, matches, training and, adventure experiences.

Finish the season with something the team will still be talking about next season.
