CARAVAN AFRICA
2026
A car & van, camel & horse, pirogue & pinasse trip around Africa
Join From Here 2 Timbuktu's Nomad Family Caravan
In 2026 the From Here 2 Timbuktu family are nomading off in a car & a van around Africa.
We will be taking the journey , setting up campfires with guides, camps and operators who will facilitate our itineraries across the continent.
Come with us to experience our long-established community connections across the Sahara and West Africa down to Cameroon and the Congo Basin.
Venturing on into new territory we cross Angola and the Namibian desert. Now Guy is back where he came from and travelled extensively as a student. Southern Africa. Cape Town, The Okavango, Victoria Falls, Lake Malawi, Serengeti and Masai Mara, Ethiopia ... oh Ethiopia the land this nomad is still to meet. And then we'll see. If we can, back west across the Sahara to Mali and ....Timbuktu.
We are hoping you can show your interest in Caravan Africa and the building of campfires across Africa by subscribing to Campfire, our secure membership forum where we will be building the trip and publishing dates.
Caravan and Campfire are open to all, but we secure our nomadic planning behind a firewall. We have exciting adventures to secure!
Since setting up From Here 2 Timbuktu in 2008 the world has sent us some tough bouncers: the implanting of Al Qaeda in the Sahara and Mali, war in Libya, rebellions, coup d'etats, sent us to refugee camps, the pandemic, cancer....But whatever is thrown at us we get through and dance around to continue our adventures. We can guarantee you one thing: we always get back on the camel to Timbuktu and we always get our customers home safe and sound. We have returned home 100% of our clients in 20 years of escorting travellers across the continent.
. Clients often want to be assured of safety beforehand, ask me about guarantees. I reply that I can guarantee only two things: 1) we'll have problems 2) we'll get over, through, around and out of them. Africa is still a human world not a computer world, everything is a negotiation.
What is your security in Africa? It's the same as it is at home: your knowledge of your local community. All you need to travel perfectly safely in Africa is a local guide. Djeneba and I are local African guides, we have been travelling Africa all our lives and we can connect you up with other guides, camps and caravans across the continent.
