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.
