What people love about Camping Tours
- Timeless Egypt & Jordan
Excellent! I was a solo female traveler and everything went very well. Before the trip all my emails were answered very quickly and once there they picked me up at the airport and everything was under control and ready for the group. Our guide was very experienced and friendly and they were very flexible and accommodating. Very professional and helpful.
- From Fes to Marrakesh Desert experience ( Luxury Accommodations )
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Morocco with our wonderful tour guide Said. We experienced an insight into the Berber culture and the unique arid Moroccan landscape, which was topped off by a brilliant camel trek in the western sahara. A special mention must go to our Camel Guid Zayd who is an absolute good man! Our trip started in Fez and ended in Marrakech....Said took us to many attractions and made sure we got the best panoramic shots! Even when we were fast asleep they made sure we wouldn't miss important sites along the trip. The desert experience was amazing- not to be missed! overall I would totally recommend Said and Cultural morocco tours ! Thanks
This trip was absolutely incredible! I stared in JNB to Durban, just the 9 days, and was a solo traveller from Ireland. It was such a good trip that despite my bag being lost on the flight and having nothing for 4 days I still had the time of my life. First of all, they did an amazing job in preparation to us arriving at pairing people into rooms and really got it spot on. I was put in with an Australian girl and we literally became the best of friends and inseparable after one day, so much so that Lolly, one of our guides, had thought we knew each other beforehand. But everyone got on so well and were so close after a few days too and everyone was amazing at offering to lend me clothes and such seeing as my bag had gone missing with the airline. There are lots of early starts but they are definitely worth it! Just listen to your guides as they are trying to give you the best experience they can possibly give you. There are so many highlights from this trip, especially the Zululand community visit which was such a huge eye opener and experience, or the Hlane camp which was incredible and we all sat down beside the wateringhole and had a few drinks that night after our bush walk in the safari. The views and scenery are incredible, make sure you have loads of storage on your phone or camera! I had never seriously camped before, and neither had my tent mate, but it was all so fun and we were experts by the end of it. You get what you sign up for, its a real African experience so don't complain!! (one woman on our trip was incredibly rude to both our guides all the time, and complained about having to put her tent down in the morning, don't know what she expected, I felt so so sorry for both Onary and Lolly as they were both so so amazing the whole trip and were doing their best and took incredible care of us and definitely did not deserve any complaints or rudeness, but I suppose every group has one). When it comes to the two guides, Onary and Lolly, I don't know where to begin. absolute gentlemen. Onary cooked breakfast and Dinner for us and every meal was an absolute feast! He even cooked us soup for starters one night which was the best soup I've tasted in my life. He went to such a huge effort to look after us, as did Lolly who drove us everywhere. Both guys were so so knowledgeable and Onary gave us a guided tour talk whenever we came across a sightseeing spot or an animal, he knew absolutely everything and I learned so much. I would highly advise talking to them as you will learn an incredible amount about Africa. The truck is incredibly equipped, with charging USB points all along and a cooler in the back for the supplied water and any snacks or drinks we want to keep cold. The Kruger campsites were fantastic. We camped as close to the facilities as possible in each campsite and the Kruger and St. Lucia bathrooms were incredibly modern and clean with hot water and showers. The Mozambique experience was amazing. Just remember enough to pay for your visa! I think on our trip it was 50 US dollars or 750 south African rand, but it changes all the time so make sure to bring more. The beach here was like a postcard, and I'd highly recommend the beach bar which was really good fun. This tour exceeded all my expectations, with an excellent itinerary which had so many included activities and the guides tried to help us get the best possible experience in Africa. I'd highly recommend anyone thinking of going to definitely go, it won't disappoint. Just remember you're in Africa, it's not 5 star luxury, the guides are doing their absolute best to please everyone and as long as you go with an open mind and ready to enjoy yourself and have fun with all the other travellers on this trip you'll enjoy this tour too.

What our customers ask about Camping Tours & Trips
What are the typical sleeping arrangements on camping tours?
You'll sleep in two-person tents at established campgrounds. These sites have basic facilities like showers and toilets. If you're camping at Lucky Bay in Cape Le Grand National Park, for example, you'll get amazing beach views right from your tent. Some tours, like the Salkantay Trek in Peru, mix it up with both camping and hotel stays. One traveler told us: "Camping in the Serengeti was magical - falling asleep to lion roars and waking up to zebras outside the tent."
What locations offer the best camping experiences?
You'll find incredible camping spots in Africa's national parks, where you can wake up to wildlife in the Serengeti or Kruger. The Andes Mountains in Peru are perfect if you want to combine camping with hiking adventures. Australia's coastal areas, like Cape Le Grand, let you camp right by the beach. One happy camper shared: "The beachfront campsites along Australia's coast offered incredible sunrise views."
What weather conditions should I prepare for on camping tours?
The weather really depends on where and when you go. In the Serengeti, days can be hot at 86°F (30°C), but nights cool down to 50°F (10°C). If you're camping in the Andes, expect temperatures from 23°F to 68°F (-5°C to 20°C) and some rain. A recent traveler advised: "Bring layers and waterproof gear - mountain weather can change quickly."
What level of physical fitness do I need for a camping tour?
You'll need average to good fitness since you'll be hiking, setting up camp, and moving around on uneven ground. For example, if you're doing the Salkantay Trek, you'll hike at heights up to 15,190 feet (4,630m). Most trips involve walking 4-6 hours daily with a small backpack. Most travelers say the activities are challenging but doable if you're reasonably fit.
What kind of meals are provided during camping tours?
You'll get three meals a day, cooked by camp chefs who know how to make great food outdoors. On tours like the Botswana and Falls Overland, you get 7 breakfasts, 6 lunches, and 3 dinners included. The food often gets top marks from travelers - they're always surprised by how good the meals are, even in remote camps. If you need vegetarian, vegan, or halal food, just let them know when you book.
What's the best season for camping tours?
It really depends on where you're going. Want to camp in the Canadian Rockies? Go between June and September when it's warm and the days are long. For African safari camping, pick the dry season from June to October - you'll see more animals. Check the typical weather patterns for your specific destination before you book.
How many people are usually in a camping tour group?
Most groups have between 8 and 20 people - enough to make friends but not so many that it feels crowded. G Adventures keeps their groups to 22 people max, while hiking tours like the Salkantay Trek usually have 8-12 people. One traveler mentioned: "The small group size of 12 people was perfect for bonding and sharing the camping experience."
