The World reopens for International Tourism and Travel from the pandemic of the Covid-19. We are happy to host our valued clients from across the World once again.
Our Overland Tours are a combination of 3 or more countries over 22 days. We try to inform all valued customers of the different country-by-country protocols and regulations as the fight to stop the spread of the Covid-19 is still on.
