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, remote, and unique attractions that are still un-commercialized, and sparsely populated, not many safari tours are offered here, and it 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 8-10 vehicles, but we do prefer fewer vehicles as it's easier to control and provide our personal attention.

Kgalagadi Transfrontier Safari

Where the red dunes and scrub fade into infinity and herds of gemsbok, springbok, eland and blue wildebeest follow the seasons, where imposing camel thorn trees provide shade for huge black-mane lions and vantage points for leopard and many raptors… this is the Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park. This is the wild one... We start in the South and tour the whole of the Kgalagadi over 14 days, with the highlight being Mabuasehube, and finish in the South again. The pans of Mabua usually host lots of antelope, which attracts lions, hyenas, leopards, and cheetahs.
