Frequently Asked Questions
What are the travel days like?
This is not a physically challenging tour, however the travelling can be difficult on long drives with poor road conditions. Long distances are covered between national parks and game drives are also spend driving around the park in search of wildlife. Yet the diversity and beautiful scenery of this African landscape combined with meeting the local tribes and learning about their cultures truly enhances the experience.What if I'm travelling solo?
Our group trips are designed for shared accommodation, so the single supplement is optional based on whether you require a private room. We pair single travels in twin accommodation with someone of the same sex for the duration of your tour.What should I take?
Packing Tips: Given the frequent transportation changes, it's best to pack minimally. Limit your luggage to a single soft-sided suitcase, sports bag, or backpack. A daypack is also essential for daily essentials. Ensure all luggage is clearly labeled. Porters may not always be available, so be ready to handle your own bags.
Weather Considerations: The Southern Hemisphere's weather is opposite the Northern Hemisphere's. Even though days are warm (up to 25°C), nights can be chilly (single digits or below freezing) during June to August. Temperatures soar to the high 30s and above from October to March. However, it remains a dry heat with cooler nights. The wet season is from November to February and showers are typically brief. Pack layers for varying temperatures throughout the day. A fleece jacket, t-shirt, and woolen hat are recommended, especially for early morning safaris.
Laundry?
Laundry can be done at some lodges (at own expense).FROM
