Trip Overview
Join Endless Africa on the first guided dog friendly overland tour in Africa.
This trip will take you from the banks of the Doring River to the waterfalls of the Cederberg Mountains. Bring your best furry friend along on this exclusive Endless Africa tour to unique locations in the Western Cape, South Africa.
Days include relaxing in camp, short walks with the dogs, swimming, 4×4 tracks and searching for rock art in the mountains. At night we gather around the campfire to braai and cook dinner together while we savour the spectacular night sky.
