Arno Delport, Sales & Marketing Manager at Acacia Africa comments, "A participatory experience, there are few tours which can match the CV boosting prowess of an overland expedition.  Right from the get-go, it’s a team effort, from shopping for local delicacies and helping to cook for the group to pitching tents and cleaning the truck – a maximum of 24 travelling on any one tour."
