Win an adventure in Africa

To celebrate the exploration of Africa by record numbers of British travellers, The Independent has joined forces with STA Travel, world leaders in young independent travel, and overland specialist Kumuka Expeditions, to offer a dream trip to two lucky readers. You will fly from London to Harare and join a14-day overland adventure organised by Kumuka, taking in the highlights of Zimbabwe and Botswana and covering what is arguably the greatest wilderness in southern Africa. You will also enjoy plenty of thrills - you don't just sit in the truck all day - as you tackle everything from white-water rafting to bungee-jumping.

The trips will take place in the autumn, although winners will be able to choose departure dates.
