“The most helpful and professional tour agents I’ve worked with. Tammy was very knowledgeable and patient with helping me select my African tour. She answered all my questions through Skype and ensured I was well prepared for my camping trip. She was awesom!!. I travelled in Africa for 41 days and oh what an amazing adventure it was! Only improvement opportunity is for African overland tours to be transparent about the tour companies affiliated with each tour. A big thank you for Tammy for all her help! Your patience and professionalism is appreciated a lot!”

“Nicky, from AOT, was extremely helpful in planning our mother / daughter African holiday. We were combining several tours within a tight time frame and Nicky was genuinely interested in listening to our ideas and preferences. Her friendly enthusiasm, local knowledge and tour-guiding experience were invaluable! Most local (Australian) travel agents had never been to Africa, so could only give us a brochure from their limited tour providers. Nicky answered our many questions, explored various tour combinations, negotiated discounts and covered every detail of our trip, including private transfers and visa information! Would definitely recommend AOT.”

“The tour I had booked at African Overland Tours exceeded my expectations - it was great fun with many great experiences. Before, during and after the booking I felt so well informed, consulted and supported by Huntley Cronje (Thanks to you again!) who answered all my (countless) questions with his outstanding friendlyness. Booking, payment, the journey... everything went very smoothly without troubles or anything. You helped me to enjoy a perfect adventure!”
