This overland tour of Africa is a great way to discover what makes this part of the world so special. 
Days 1-2: Victoria Falls
Mhoro! Welcome to Zimbabwe.

Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 6pm on Day 1.

You can arrive at any time as there are no activities planned until this important meeting; please ask the hotel reception where it will take place. If your flight arrives too late, we recommend that you consider arriving a day early and book a night's accommodation prior to the trip so you are able to attend. If you are going to be late please inform the hotel reception. We'll be collecting your kitty, insurance details and next of kin information at this meeting so please ensure you have all details on hand to provide to your leader.

For those of you who arrive early, there are various activities and excursions available - either on the water, on land or high above it all. Choose from whitewater rafting, canoeing, horse riding, abseiling or gorge swinging (please see the 'Optional Activities' section of these notes for more details on what you can see and do around Victoria Falls).

Visit the magnificent Victoria Falls.

The Victoria Falls are an enormous curtain of water, about a mile wide, falling 108 m into a narrow gorge below. In the wet season, the spray created can rise up an incredible 400 m and the falls are an impressive raging torrent. The spray from the falls can sometimes be seen from kilometres away. It's no wonder that the local name Mosi oa Tunya means the 'smoke that thunders'. In the dry season, the view of the falls is unobstructed by spray and it's possible to see little islets in the river below.

Our campground is centrally located in the town of Victoria Falls, the perfect place to use as a base for the vast array of activities on offer in the area. Upgraded accommodation is available, please ask at reception.

Responsible Travel Note:

During your visit to the Victoria Falls area you may notice businesses offering an optional 'Walk with the Lions' experience. We recommend that Intrepid travellers bypass this activity as it is contrary to Intrepid's Responsible Travel guideline stating that we 'actively discourage the participation of Intrepid groups in activities which exploit animals - wild or domestic.' Professional wildlife conservation organisations, including Born Free and the World Society for Protection of Animals (WSPA), advise that habituating lions to humans can shorten their life and may result in lion-human conflict issues. While there is some merit in the argument that the money that you pay for the activity goes towards lion research, we feel that the negative impacts on the lions' rehabilitation far outweigh this.

Lilongwe is the political capital of Malawi with a population of just under a million people. Situated on the Lilongwe River, it's a great place to soak up some Malawian culture with lots of coffee shops, bars and restaurants.

Depending on where we spend the night before, we should have the afternoon to explore the town and its many markets and shops. We have a chance to go to the bank and connect to the internet - a short taste of city life, before we head out bush again.

Our campground in Lilongwe has shared facilities.

Optional Activities
Tobacco auction floor (April-September) - Free

Accommodation
Camping (with facilities) (2 nts)
Days 10-11: Lake Malawi
Travel for approximately 7 hours (350 km) from Lilongwe to Lake Malawi.

Malawi is dominated by its lake, which covers almost a fifth of the country and provides a livelihood for many Malawian people. Fishermen, canoe and net makers, and fish traders all ply their trade on Lake Malawi. A common sight is of a fisherman in his bwato (a dugout canoe made from a hollowed tree trunk) fishing on the still lake at the break of day.

We head away from the commercialism and crowds and enjoy a few days on the lake's more peaceful beaches. As well as chilling on the beach and participating in the many optional water activities on offer, make sure you take the opportunity to meet some local Malawians, easily some of the friendliest people in Africa.

Our campsite at Kande Beach is right on the shore of Lake Malawi.

Optional Activities

Scuba diving, Lake Malawi - USD75.00

Situated at the foot of the thickly wooded Uluguru Mountains, Mikumi National Park is home to large herds of elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, lions and leopards. It's Tanzania's third largest national park.

Although we don't take an off-road safari into the depths of the park, a good selection of the wildlife that resides in Mikumi can usually be seen on our way through to the southern Tanzanian highland town of Iringa.

The camp is on the grounds of a hotel and has flush toilets and showers. Feel free to jump in the ocean and have a swim.

Accommodation
Camping (with facilities) (1 nt)
Days 15-17: Zanzibar
Catch a ferry to the 'Spice Island' of Zanzibar (approx 90 mins).

Our first night is spent in the exotic port town of Stone Town in a basic inn with double/twin-share rooms.

The old part of Zanzibar's main city is known as Stone Town. The best way to see this exotic port town is on foot, exploring the bazaars, shops, mosques, palaces, courtyards and myriad intricate alleyways. When the sun is setting, why not enjoy a sundowner from a bar overlooking the seafront before trying one of the island's local seafood curries at one of the town's many restaurants.

Enjoy a tour of the inland plantations where Zanzibar's famous spices grow. First, discover the sights of old Stone Town, where you will hear a history of the slave market and delight in a local meal. Next, you will drive to the spice plantations where you'll receive a guided tour and the opportunity to touch, smell and taste various spices such as cinnamon, vanilla and ginger, as well as teas made with these spices. At the end of the day there will also be an opportunity to buy some of the locally grown spices.

On our second and third days here we head to the northern beaches and enjoy white sand and sparkling blue sea - the Indian Ocean at its best. Try snorkelling and diving, eat sumptuous seafood, or simply relax in a hammock underneath a coconut tree with a good book.

Camping (with facilities) (1 nt)
Day 20: Mto Wa Mbu
Rise and shine early and on a clear day you'll be greeted with unforgettable views of Kilimanjaro.

Walk around their shamba (farm) and have the chance to sample the local Chagga food, which is very filling. For more information on the Village Education Project visit www.kiliproject.org.

Visit nearby waterfalls and stop to admire the view of the plains below. If the weather is clear, get a view of Kilimanjaro - the magnificent snow-capped mountain and Africa's highest peak at 5,895 m (19,340 ft).

After an early lunch, head towards Mto Wa Mbu where we camp for the night (450 km, approx 8-9 hrs).

Included Activities
Village Education Project visit, village walk & lunch

Accommodation
Camping (with facilities) (1 nt)
Days 21-22: Ngorongoro Crater/Serengeti National Park
Wake up very early and leave our truck behind, putting our camping and personal gear into (6-person) jeeps and heading out for our two-day excursion.

From Mto Wa Mbu, we descend to the floor of the famous Ngorongoro Crater and make the most of our safari here - we spend between four and five hours exploring this area.

A huge, perfectly intact volcanic crater, Ngorongoro is home to some 30,000 animals including endangered black rhinos, lions, leopards, elephants, impalas, zebras and hippos. The crater floor offers excellent game viewing all year round and the photographic opportunities here are unrivalled.

Departing the crater in the afternoon, head for the gates of the Serengeti and arrive at our camp in the early evening. The following day, enjoy a full day game drive in the Serengeti.

The wide, open plains of the Serengeti - green after the rains, brown and burnt in the dry season, and home to thousands of hoofed animals and fierce predators - are perhaps the quintessential image of Africa. Flat and rolling with long grasses and dotted with acacia trees, the plains get their name from the Maasai word Siringitu - 'the place where the land moves on forever'.

Game viewing in the Serengeti is amazing and as you camp out at night, don't be surprised to hear lions in the distance as you recount your wildlife sightings from the day. In normal circumstances, we would expect to see the Big Five during our stay in the Serengeti.

For an unforgettable experience, you might like to do an optional sunrise balloon ride over the Serengeti. If you have pre-booked this activity (please see 'Important Notes'), you'll be picked up and driven to the launch site where you receive a safety briefing from your pilot and help inflate the balloon. You'll then float over the Serengeti as the sun comes up gaining an overview of the immensity of the Serengeti, seeing the abundance of wildlife in their early morning activity and sometimes descending to tree height for amazing wildlife photography opportunities. Upon landing, you'll be treated to a five-star bush breakfast before being returned to your accommodation.

You'll notice many Maasai villages in the region of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. While it's of course fascinating to visit different cultures, past experience has shown that these villages exist primarily as tourism businesses offering somewhat contrived performances of their traditional ways. You'll be charged an entry fee of approx US$20 and the Maasai will try very hard to sell souvenirs to you. While many clients still enjoy the experience, others have found it artificial and uncomfortable. We recommend our travellers bypass this activity as our Kenyan colleagues observe that it negatively impacts the Maasai culture and travellers' perception of this culture.

Included Activities
Game drives

Optional Activities
Balloon ride, Serengeti National Park - USD500.00

Accommodation
Camping (with basic facilities) (2 nts)
Day 23: Arusha
Leave the Serengeti behind and head towards Arusha (150 km, approx 2-3 hrs), stopping en route at Mto Wa Mbu to jump back on board our truck.

A small village community, Mto Wa Mbu offers an excellent way to get a close-up look at life in an African town away from the main tourist trail.

Tonight we will camp a camp ground on the outskirts of Arusha where we will enjoy our final dinner together.

Accommodation
Camping (with facilities) (1 nt)
Day 24: Nairobi
Set off early, heading for the border with Kenya and on to Nairobi (390 km, approx 9-10 hrs).

Nairobi - which takes its name from a Maasai phrase meaning 'place of cool waters' - has a cosmopolitan atmosphere. There are plenty of good bars and restaurants, while markets and shops have most things you could want or need, as well as various arts and crafts from the region.

Tonight we will share dinner together to bid farewell to those who are leaving us here in Nairobi and to welcome our new group members who will be joining us for the remainder of our trip.

Stay in a simple hotel with swimming pool, restaurant and en suite bathrooms.

Optional Activities
National Museum, Nairobi - USD14.00
Karen Blixen museum, Nairobi - USD14.00
Bomas, Nairobi - USD10.00
Langata Giraffe Sanctuary, Nairobi - KES700.00
Carnivore restaurant, Nairobi - USD35.00
Nairobi National Park safari walk, Nairobi - USD20.00

Accommodation
Hotel (1 nt)
Day 25: Lake Nakuru
Drive north-west past great views of the Rift Valley, Lake Naivasha and Elementaita to Lake Nakuru National Park, situated in the heart of the Great Rift Valley (170 km, approx 3-4 hrs).

Stop along the way in the town of Gilgil where we'll learn more about one of our foundation projects, the Saidia Children's Home Project. This project isn't just about the children - they also have a 'Grannie' project which helps elders too. More info is on their website: www.saidia-gilgil.org.uk/.

Lake Nakuru National Park's small and compact area, based around a flamingo-filled lake, makes it a great location for spotting wildlife. Along with the other members of the Big Five, Lake Nakuru harbours many rhinos and will be the best chance to get a great picture of these magnificent beasts.

Arrive in time for a short evening game drive along the shore of the lake.

Tonight's campground is beautifully located - but it's very basic, having drop toilets and basic showers.

Included Activities
Game drives

Accommodation
Camping (with facilities) (1 nt)
Days 26-27: Eldoret/Kampala
Up early this morning, we only have tea or coffee before going back into the park for a morning game drive.

Return to camp for brunch before driving to Eldoret (200 km, approx 5-6 hrs).

One of Kenya's fastest growing towns, Eldoret is home to some of Kenya's most famous runners due to its high altitude.

Camp on the outskirts of Eldoret.

Cross the border into Uganda and travel on to its capital city, Kampala (390 km, approx 8-9 hrs).

Kampala is the capital of landlocked Uganda. With a population of over 30 million, it's one of the five countries that make up the East African Community. It's a country of great cultural diversity and in recent years has been one of the most progressive in the region in terms of health education relating to HIV.

Once the heart of the Buganda Kingdom, Kampala is a bustling city spread over several hills and valleys. It's a great place to wander around on foot, exploring its many markets and shops.

Camp on the outskirts of the city.

Accommodation
Camping (with facilities) (2 nts)
Days 28-29: Kibale Forest National Park
Travel to Kibale Forest National Park (350 km, approx 6-7 hrs).

The most accessible of Uganda's major rainforests, Kibale Forest National Park is home to the highest concentration of primates in the world, with twelve different species recorded. The main attractions are the park's 500 chimpanzees, which have been habituated to human visitors. More closely related to humans than any other living creature, the chimpanzees are a delight to watch as they squabble and play in fruiting trees.

We'll take a 2-4 hour walking safari that gives us the amazing opportunity to watch the way the chimps feed, climb trees, respond to humans and care for their young ones. It's a phenomenal experience and a real highlight. This is a guided walk through thick hilly jungle. You'll need to take water bottles, raincoats, good walking boots and perhaps a walking stick.

There's plenty for you to see and do in this beautiful area, including walks to villages, tea plantations, rivers, lakes or just relaxing around the campsite.

Camp in a basic campground that has showers and flush toilets.

Included Activities
Kibale tea plantation & village visit
Chimpanzee trek

Accommodation
Camping (with facilities) (2 nts)
Day 30: Queen Elizabeth National Park
Travel to the Queen Elizabeth National Park and take a game drive on our way to the camp (200 km, approx 5.5 hrs).

Queen Elizabeth National Park is beautifully set between the Great Rift Valley lakes of Edward and George. During our time in the park we hope to see elephants, lions, leopards, buffaloes, Ugandan kobs and waterbucks.

Take a boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel, well-known for pelicans, eagles and other wonderful birdlife, as well as its healthy population of hippos.

Stay at a basic camp on the grounds of a lodge which has drop toilets and basic showers.

Included Activities
Entrance & game drives
Kazinga Channel boat cruise

Accommodation
Camping (with facilities) (1 nt)
Day 31: Lake Bunyonyi
Travel on to Lake Bunyonyi (250 km, approx 6-7 hrs).

Located in the south-west of Uganda, Lake Bunyonyi - meaning 'place of many little birds' - is home to some of the most picturesque scenery in the country.

If time allows, one of the best ways to admire the landscape is from on the lake itself by hiring a traditional dugout canoe (mokoro). They can be hard to master at first but great fun.

Our campground has flush toilets with basic showers.

Optional Activities
Mokoro hire (per day), Lake Bunyonyi - USD12.00

Accommodation
Camping (with facilities) (1 nt)
Days 32-34: Gorilla Trek
Cross the border into Rwanda and travel toward Ruhengeri, via Kigali (200 km, approx 6-7 hrs).
Rwanda's capital, Kigali, is a great place to explore on foot - from its market areas to the infamous Hotel Rwanda.

Visit Kigali's very moving genocide memorial. We may visit the memorial on the way to Ruhengeri or on our return.

Ruhengeri is the gateway to Volcanoes National Park.

We allow two days for gorilla visits as you are assigned a trekking group/time on your permit. The group may be split up into different trekking groups during the day, or even over two days, depending on the time of permit issue and group size. There is a maximum group size of eight on each gorilla visit.

This region is one of the last remaining sanctuaries for the mountain gorilla. No more than eight per day can visit any one habituated family and visits are strictly controlled to minimise the possibility of disturbance or transmission of disease to the animals.

Tracking gorillas in the dense forest can sometimes be wet, muddy and uncomfortable. The terrain is by no means easy either, so it can be pretty strenuous and often humid, but the sheer thrill in coming across a habituated group of gorillas, dominated by a great male silverback, more than outweighs any difficulty. You need to be prepared and fit enough to walk up to 4 hours - up and down hill. We can usually get very close to the mountain gorillas, who are placid and gentle, and watching their movements is like seeing a mirror image of yourself. Your visit with the gorillas will last one unforgettable hour.

When you are waiting for, or have completed, your gorilla visit, your leader will provide you with options and ideas on how you can spend your time in the area around Ruhengeri.

Stay in dormitories at a local church mission.

Included Activities
Genocide Memorial
Mountain gorilla trek & permit

Optional Activities
Diane Fossey Memorial, Ruhengeri - USD75.00
Golden monkeys, Ruhengeri - USD100.00
Mt Visoke hiking (full day), Ruhengeri - USD75.00
Nature walk, Ruhengeri - USD55.00

Accommodation
Dormitory (3 nts)
Day 35: Lake Mburo
Travel to the border with Uganda where we'll complete the border formalities. It's possible for most nationalities to purchase a re-entry visa at this land crossing but please check before travelling. Then head to Lake Mburo (420 km, approx 9-10 hrs).

The flora of Lake Mburo National Park is acacia woodland, different to most other parks in East Africa, which means its fauna is also different to other reserves. It's the best place in the country to see the gigantic eland antelope and has about 68 different species of mammals including zebras, impalas, buffalo, leopards, hyenas and jackals. There are five lakes within the park which are home to hippos, crocodiles and a variety of waterbirds, while the papyrus swamps provide cover for the sitatunga antelope and red, black and yellow papyrus gonalek. This small park is less well-known among tourists so it's much quieter than some of the more famous East African parks.

Camp on the shores of the lake at a stunning location surrounded by wildlife. The campground is beautifully located - but very basic, having drop toilets and basic showers.

Accommodation
Camping (with facilities) (1 nt)
Days 36-37: Jinja
Before breakfast we have a two-hour guided walking safari through the Lake Mburo National Park allowing us to see some of the animals and spectacular birdlife.

Travel from Lake Mburo to Jinja via Kampala, stopping en route at the equator (340 km, approx 7-8 hrs).

Jinja is one of the highlights of any visit to Uganda. Located at the source of the Nile as it leaves Lake Victoria, this is a place for the adventurer, the adrenaline junkie and the eco-traveller who wants to do something really worthwhile in a beautiful area.

Camp at a scenic riverside retreat with showers and flush toilets.

Included Activities
Entrance & walking safari

Optional Activities
River Nile rafting (full day), Jinja - USD125.00

Accommodation
Camping (with facilities) (2 nts)
