South Africa

Oryx Overlanding provides self-drive overlanding safari tours mainly, but not limited, to the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. This is mainly because this is the province with the most desolate and unique attractions that are still un-commercialized, and sparsely populated, not many safari tours are presented here, and is the area we love most about South Africa. A group safari usually consists of 6 to no more than 10 vehicles. Popular tours like the Kalahari Safari and the West Coast safaris usually contain 10 vehicles, but we do prefer fewer vehicles as it's easier to control and service.

Kalahari Red Dune Safari

The Kalahari Safari takes you through the arid Kalahari in 10 days. The red dunes and camelthorn trees with beautiful sunsets make beautiful photos, but the starry sky at night steals the show. This ancient and beautiful land is not only amazingly rich in diversity, but it also reflects an endless variety of moods, making each encounter refreshingly different from the previous ones.

West Coast Safari

Escape to the land of contrasts, where the rigorous climate has created a myriad of life forms superbly adapted to their specific habitat. Fields of flowers, star-studded nights, quiver trees, enormous granite outcrops, and the icy Atlantic are but a few wonders that await the visitor. The route takes you along the unspoiled West Coast of South Africa. Starting at Port Nolloth and ending in Vanrhynsdorp. This normally is a 10-day tour along the coastline through uninhabited areas where we end the tour in Lamberts Bay, but In late August we enjoy 2 extra days when we break away from the coast to experience the flowering spectacle of Namaqualand.
