Taking balloons and pens as gifts for children sounds like a nice idea but it often becomes expected when they see a Westerner and turns them into beggars. Instead take less gifts and save them for when they make a special and genuine effort to befriend you or if you are a guest in some ones house. Lynette

Camping Safaris

Camping in the wilds of Africa ia an awesome experience! Join a small group of 12 other adventurers on a jounrney of a life time in our custom safari trucks

Stay in designated camping sites in national parks, reserves, private campsites and towns.  Facilties are goodwith  hot showes and often a bar or restaurant.  A few camps have basic facilites and showers may be simple reed enclosures but they still have flush toilets!

The only exception is in Botswana, we go deep into the National Parks and generally use private wild campsites.  There are no facilities a busket shower is erected, warm water comes from the camp fire and thre is pit toilet.  This is a true wilderness experience and we are committed to a leave no trace ethos.

It is not all camping!
You will notice most safaris are camping and comfort so we stay in lodges and guest houses for a number of nights.  These are modest, but clean, rooms are generally ensuited (occasionally you have to share a bathroom).

Travelling on your own?
If booking solo you won't pay any more for travelling as single person.  We automatically tent you with the same gender single person.  If you request a single tent you will pay a little extra, but you will need to still share with another person when you staying in fixed accommodation.

Who travels on these tours?
Our average age is 40 years + and our clients are not looking for a party through Africa.  So if you are interested in getting up close to the wildlife and interacting with the local people - these are the tours for you!
