- MartinaStolle· October 19th, 2021My first Madventure trip was the classic tour from London to Sydney in 2013. Everything was exciting and new. We were a big group, but everything was well organized and under the guidance of Karen and Will the journey turned out to be an incredible adventure. I loved to see how landscapes, people and buildings changed while travelling. My second tour led me from Beijing to Istanbul in 2017 via the silk road. Although several things went wrong I don't want to miss a day. Digging out the truck is part of overlanding...:) In 2019 I took part on the Africa tour. I have joined the group in Sierra Leone and left in Capetown. Again Will was the driver and I was glad about that in a number of situations, because there is no better one. Weather-beaten bridges, muddy roads and driving through rivers are exciting challenges. In August 2021 my husband and I had the opportunity to accompany the truck from Namibia to Tanzania and we didn't hesitate. It was good to be on the road again after the pandemic break, and even aside of touristic ways Karen and Will made it an unforgettable adventure. I could not resist to book the Arabia tour which starts in two weeks. I am very looking forward to another exciting journey. Meanwhile I have altogether spent more than a year in the trucks sitting in the back row and let the world pass by. Returning to the truck feels like coming to a (second) home thanks to Karen and Will who keep cool in every situation and know what to do. For me it's the way to discover the world. It's an adventure with a "security net". Go mad, go Madventure. Martina Stolle, October 2021Show more

Asked on September 11th, 2024Is it possible to have a shorter trip from Ghana to Angola instead of ending at South Africa?
MadventureOperator•Written September 2024You can join the tour in Lima on or around 22/01/25 and depart in Luanda on or around 28/03/25. The cost will be £3390 Expedition Payment + $1100 Local Payment per person. Local payment is to be paid in USD cash to the tour crew when the tour departs. Please note the end date is an approximation. On expeditions like this, there is a chance we could get delayed. We will try to make back any lost time, but there may be a chance we will arrive at the final destination a little late. We recommend booking all flights last minute or with flexible tickets. Note that since the coup in Gabon a year ago, land borders between Cameroon and Gabon have been closed to foreigners travelling over land. We will try to obtain visas to enter by land, but if unable, we will need to detour through inland Republic of Congo to get to the coast.

Traveler•Written September 2024Could you give us an estimate for 2026 departure for 2 Pax and 4 Pax? Both in USA $$?
- MadventureOperator•Written September 2024
The 2026 tour starts in Accra on 14th Jan 2026 and will end in Luanda on or around 20th March 2026. The cost will be £3390 Expedition Payment + $1100 Local Payment per person. Based on todays rate, the expedition payment is approximately $4450. Our discount policy is: Once you've done one tour, you'd get a 5% discount off the Expedition Payment of the second tour, and once you've done two tours, you'd get a 10% discount off the Expedition Payment of the 3rd - discounts are then capped at 10%. We don't do early bird discounts.

Asked on January 10th, 2023I would like to do, but without South africa because I have been here before. an and another cuestion.... -We are two mexican , do you help to get visa for this countries?
- MadventureOperator•Written January 2023
For this tour, you'd need to get several visas yourself before joining (Ghana, Togo, nigeria and Cameroon) and the others you can probably obtain enroute with the rest of the group when In Africa. We've never had Mexican passport holders on this tour though, so I would recommend just investigating yourself, just to make sure you are able to get the other visas in Africa. For some nationalities, you need to get certain visas in your home country before leaving, so this is what you need to check.

Asked on March 18th, 2022I wonder how likely is this to run? How many spaces remain available on this date?
- MadventureOperator•Written March 2022
We are 99% sure that the next tour will go. This years tour went, and the group have just arrived in Namibia! We already have lots of bookings for the next tour, but there is also still lots of places left.

Traveler•Written March 2022I am looking to travel from London to Cape Town. I am weighing up the pros and cons of joining this trip in Marrakech or Accra. What sort of deals are available on the longer routes?
- MadventureOperator•Written March 2022
We don't currently have any offers via tour radar for the longer tours. Our Morocco to Cape Town tour is very popular because the region is notoriously difficult to do independently. There is minimal public transport and it's generally very difficult to get around.

Traveler•Written March 2022What I am thinking of doing is hiking Mt Toubkal in Morocco, making my own way to Dakar and then join the company Overlanding West Africa from Dakar to Accra and then join this trip from Accra to Cape Town. My biggest concern is getting through Mauritania.
- MadventureOperator•Written March 2022
Mt Toubkal is spectacular. We do not offer tours to Mt Toubkal, but if you wanted to join in Marrakech, that would be fine. You could then do a trip there yourself and meet us when the truck comes to Marrakech. We could adjust the price to take this into consideration.

Asked on February 11th, 2022Hi, I am interested in booking this tour but only if it is guaranteed departure, other wise I need to look for another, can you please advise & let me know when did this run this tour last and how many people book it , do they have a minimum for the tour to run ?? thanks
- MadventureOperator•Written February 2022
The 2023 tour is guaranteed to run (barring any unforeseen Covid outbreak that would prevent us from running). This years tour is currently in progress (now in Cameroon) and there is 18 people on board. You can expect there to be around 20 on next years tour.

Asked on January 24th, 2022Is your information up-to-date? what impact the pandemic is having on Madventure trips?
- MadventureOperator•Written January 2022
Most of our tours have not been affected much by covid restrictions apart from constant PCR/Rapid tests at all borders. We make everyone aware before they join that rules can change almost weekly - we just fit in and adapt to any changes as and when they happen and inform our clients in person.
