Overland adventures, small group & specialist tours in Africa & The Middle East

Kumuka is an African word meaning "the start of a journey" or "a moment of awakening". Kumuka Worldwide are leading specialists in Adventure travel and have been successfully operating exciting tours for the adventurous traveller for more than 26 years. Since our very first Trans-African trip, we have been focused on providing our travellers with authentic and stimulating experiences of the destinations they travel to, whilst enjoying the value, quality and reliability we pride ourselves on consistently delivering.

Choose from a wide range of Overland Adventure camping tours in Africa and the Middle East. There is also a great selection of specialist and lodge based tours.

Small groups - less is more
When you travel on an overland tour with Kumuka either in Africa or the Middle East, you will be travelling with no more than 20 fellow travellers. Driving days can sometimes be quite arduous and with trips varying in duration from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, you will appreciate the extra comfort and space on the truck that a smaller group offers. It is also part of Kumuka's commitment to responsible tourism – fewer travellers tread lightly.

Professional tour leaders and drivers
In Africa and the Middle East, Kumuka tours are run by a combination of local and international guides, drivers, cooks and tour leaders, who share a deep love of the region and excellent knowledge of the history, culture and wildlife of this fascinating part of the world.

Is there an age limit?
Overland tours require a minimum age of 18 with a recommended upper age limit of 55. The nature of the transport (in trucks) & accommodation (in tents) can get a bit much the older you are. If you're looking for a more comfortable holiday, consider one of Kumuka's specialist tours or lodge based safaris. A typical Kumuka group will have a mix of single travellers, couples and friends.

Middle East holidays
Kumuka operates tours throughout the Middle East. Overland tours and Small Group Tours are available throughout Turkey, Egypt, Jordan and Syria, as well as Family Adventures.
Take an Anzac tour in Turkey, cruise the Nile in Egypt or camp under the stars in the Western Desert. Visit the Pyramids and ancient tombs, browse bustling markets, ride camels and explore ancient cities.
