Hi... I am Giuseppe the operator of this tour; from 1946 born & grown in Africa by a Somali mother & Italian father, with 6 Euro-African expressible languages, some like my English which you are going through in this moment, I know it's very badly incorrect, but I hope to make me understand and if you want I would appreciate your corrections. The other languages that I speak naturally are Italian and Somali in addition a communicable Arabic and Swahili plus a rather pushy German and French. Anyhow concerning the present subject: while getting drifted from Somalia in exodus and on my way facing a lot of surviving struggle from country to country, suddenly I found myself in the middle of overlanders, at Nairobi City Park of the 70's for 5 years camping with my little roasty-toasty kiosk where I gained more and more of traveling freedom to the point of my present professional knowledge. Specially after my endless trips as guide and organizer with tourist groups between Europe and Africa including my last adventure solitary cycling from Switzerland Across Africa to Kenya, on my 59 years of age. It is an experience which made me See, Reason & Love in all the senses my "Motherland AFRICA", That's why my experience led me establishing this kind of overland soft-adventure tours to those of us no longer young bracket.

The way I perceive Africa & the Africans it's beyond publicity and it could never correspond to a business trained crew concept. I don't see it as a zoo like the media & tourism idioms, no please ! there's widely much more worth to see ...from the cradle of mankind to the unique "Africa High Life", but only with your enchantment... you'll have fun and talent on whatever you do.

PERHAPS... if you are a bit hesitant due to media reports on problem spots in Africa; as responsible I would like to ease your mind...Africa is not without its problems, but I am very selective about where and when to travel; it's an awesome continent and not nearly as unsafe and scary as many of the press reports would have you think. Come and take the much of photo's you want but leave your footprints in Africa with blessings

Please let me say that; My aim is not only to maintain this "mal d'Africa" sick for Africa: but I have an inborn message, it sound's funny, but I really want to hook Africa in your senses as a new manner of "seeing" Africa as the Africans.

By the way;
for those that have been in Nairobi City-Park Camping in 1970/75 my nickname is Pippo, Please knock-knock my déjà-vue. Mailto: admin@overlandtravel.com
