    I had an absolutely exceptional 287 days on this trip! The trip notes prepared me well for what to expect! At times in was rough, just like the trip notes said it would be! My guide worked her butt off to ensure the trip ran smoothly and could even bake cakes over an open fire! The food was healthy, plentiful and meals were well balanced, however being a picky eater it was sometimes hard for me to "love" the food. ( My fault) We did have changes to our itinerary and some delays however, I genuinely feel that the decisions that were made were for our own safety and that the office was constantly watching out for us! I can't really comment on accommodation... I loved my tent and some campsites/hotels were better than others. I enjoyed bush camping and give that a 5 star rating! Expect the unexpected, go with the flow, prepare to rough it and this trip will change your outlook on the world. Overall, the trip was good value for money but I did need way more money than the trip notes suggest and I bought next to nothing in way of souvenirs. (compared to others). I would recommend this trip to serious adventure travelers but if you'll miss flush toilets it may not be your thing. I'll miss the truck and my truck family tons!

    What a trip of a lifetime! Strongly recommend traveling Africa with Oasis - it was a truly unforgettable experience! I did the 75 day Nairobi to Cape Town trip with on average about 13 people. I’m so glad I did the entire route as it really gave you the chance to experience the diversity of Africa. It felt a bit tiring towards the end but I have no regrets. If you did want a shorter trip I would recommend Nairobi to Nairobi or Nairobi to Vic Falls - although Namibia is AMAZING! The truck itself is great - the line of seats down both sides of the truck are perfect for ensuring you socialise with everyone and relationships don’t get too cliquey. Great way to play card/board games, sleep and admire the amazing views. I sometimes get car sickness and it didn’t happen at all on the truck! The truck had UK charging points, drink bottle holders and speakers to plug music in which were all very handy! My tour leaders were Often and Alexis. Often was the most amazing guide you can imagine! After 75 days on the trip I learnt that there was nothing he couldn’t do! He was so helpful with fixing anything that broke - air mattress, zips, tyres etc not to mention helping with a million other things - when he saw you struggling to fit your tent into its bag, making his famous garlic bread for your cook group etc. He cooked the most delicious food! He always ensured his beloved truck was in perfect working order. He was so open in sharing his life experiences and ensured we fell in love with Africa just as he had. Essentially, the trip would have been very different without him. Like Often, Alexis has been doing this route for years and it showed. She was very organised - with the days and border crossings always going smoothly. She was great at making sure if there was a specific African meal or something we wanted to see that wasn’t in the itinerary we would get to experience it! Alexis was also really helpful when it came to meal times. The food cooked by Alexis and Often was some of the tastiest meals I’ve ever had! So yummy! Being in a cook group can be a bit of a pain but it’s a great way to get to know everyone, learn new recipes, have some laughs and foster that family feeling. I spent a lot more money than I thought I would but you’re only in Africa once (hopefully more)! There are a lot more atms available than what the info Oasis provide states. You also don’t need as much USD as it implies as you do end up using local currencies in the countries you’re in. For me, I had a tonne of USD so I just exchanged it at the borders and rarely used an atm. In saying that, having too much USD actually worked out well as some people didn’t bring enough so I was able to help them out. There will be supermarket/grocery store stops about every 3 days too so there is no need to bring all your toiletries etc. The tents, dorms etc were absolutely fine! Tents are really quick to put up and down and are comfortable. There are upgrades available and a few of us always took a dorm room if it was less than $8. My number one tip is to buy a pillow at the start of the trip - you won’t regret it! Bring a spare set of headphones and flip flops because so many of us lost or broke both! Don’t worry about over packing - you get a lot of space to store your things. I’d also recommend bringing binoculars for all the game drives - we were always fighting over who got to use the two that we had! Do both of the village walks in Malawi and make sure you go down the slide in Jinja! Overall, it was just the most amazing trip. I have travelled quite a lot but never seen and experienced a place like Africa and I’ll always be so thankful for the memories and friends I now have.

    Amazing experience! Before arriving, I was nervous about what overlanding would be like, especially as someone who had never camped before. It was exactly what I expected it would be and the staff did a great job being their for anything you could possibly need. They clearly explained daily/weekly itinerary, how to put up your tent, what to buy, where to eat, what to see etc. And they will even fix your flip flop if it breaks! Overlanding as a type of travel may not be for everyone, every overlanding company drives longs days and does some camping. But if you want to slow down, see the land and meet really cool people I couldn't recommend Oasis more. The best part was that all of the staff are incredibly helpful, from answering questions online prior to my trip, to their caring CEO, to my amazing driver and group leader. I did 93 in africa and I've already booked another trip on the silk road. Can't wait to be back!
