Bradt's Africa Overland draws on over four decades of travel experience across Africa, Asia, and South America, offering all the essential information and practical tips for long-distance journeys in Africa. Whether you're travelling by 4x4 or using public transport, this guide prepares you for the challenges ahead.

A comprehensive travel companion packed with practical advice and detailed insights for exploring Africa overland.

This extensively updated edition covers more than 50 countries, providing everything from route suggestions-whether arriving via Asia or Saudi Arabia-to guidance on choosing and shipping your vehicle. It includes budgeting tips, equipment lists, and advice on spares, organised tours, and public transport options.

The book also tackles common road issues such as driving and recovery techniques, vehicle maintenance, motorbike handling, bureaucracy, border crossings, and police checks. Beyond logistics, it offers rich background on geography, climate, vegetation, natural history, conservation, cultural interactions, religion, and festivals.

Additional support is given for finding up-to-date information before departure and while on the road. The guide also extends to return routes through Asia and Europe, covering countries like India, Nepal, China, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, and Poland.

Highlights across Africa include:

• The Atlas Mountains and Sahara edges in Morocco
• Desert adventures in Chad
• The River Nile culture in Egypt and Sudan
• Equatorial rainforests of central Africa
• East African game parks
• Victoria Falls on the Zambia-Zimbabwe border
• Southern Africa's Angola, Namibian desert, and South Africa’s Cape and coastline

As the authors put it, "Africa is addictive. It is also changing fast, but a trip now will still be a revelation."
