  • Accra, Ghana to Cape Town 12 Weeks 12 weeks, £4,500 + US$1,500 local payment

    This Expedition goes where no tourists go, the roads are bad, food can be limited to what we have stocked on the truck, campsites are basic and few, while communication to the outside world limited at times. We guarantee; we’ll break down, will have to wait for visas spare parts or just for someone to open a closed road and dig the truck out of mud and sand.

    The trip might overrun and finish late; the route can change due to rains, closed roads visa issues, breakdowns and politics. It’s best not to book your return flights home until you finish the trip.

    To join you need to be prepared to work as part of a team and to share with the others on the trip. Some of the things you’ll never forget are the satisfaction of getting a 16 ton truck unstuck, cooking over open fires after collecting the firewood, pitching a tent and getting it right even when it rains, going to sleep when its dark and waking at dawn and wanting to get out of your sleeping bag to start another day in which you have no idea of what will happen, washing in rivers, not washing and not caring that your dirty, living out side for months, seeing more than you have ever before, trying to learn French, Arabic or Swahili and having people understand what you say, finding out just how far places are away from where you started and how different places can be and how unaffected out of the way places are from the world we normally live in.
