WhyAfrica prepares for the 2025 WhyAfrica Road Trip
WhyAfrica is in the final stages of preparing for the 2025 WhyAfrica Road Trip.
By Leon Louw founder of WhyAfrica and editor of the WhyAfrica magazine
WhyAfrica is dusting of our equipment and cleaning our boots and camping gear in preparation for the 4th 45-day-long WhyAfrica Overland Road Trip through Africa.
With last year’s sand and grit from the South African Bushveld, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi, Tanzania and Kenya properly down the drain, plans for the 2025 WhyAfrica Road Trip is gathering momentum.
As usual we are serving up something different this year and might just have a handful of late surprises in store.
Showcasing the best of Africa
The first leg of this year’s WhyAfrica Road Trip will take place in South Africa, Eswatini, Lesotho and southern Namibia. But we have a special bonus this time – 2 shorter versions of the WhyAfrica Road Trip will take place early in 2026 to accommodate special requests from several partners, sponsors, members and advertisers.
As usual, the WhyAfrica Road Trip is more than just site visits, gathering business intelligence and camping in remote African destinations. It’s an endeavour to showcase and promote the incredible companies, people and projects shaping the future of Africa.
Spotlight on South African companies
With South Africa set to host the G20 Summit in 2025, our spotlight this year will shine even brighter on South African companies that are making an impact.
These are the trailblazers! South African companies that have already expanded their African footprint or are planning to spread their wings beyond the Limpopo River soon to make a meaningful contribution across the continent.
This year’s WhyAfrica Road Trip will once again highlight excellence in mineral exploration, mining, quarrying, agriculture, infrastructure, energy, water management, ESG, tourism, and conservation.
