Trip date: September 2019 - LLaura· October 11th, 2019The last leg of our three stages travelling Cape Town to Cape Town. Gee was an absolutely fantastic guide - very knowledgeable about the places, people, history, animals....every topic you could think of! Always happy to answer any further questions or just have a chat. Excellent sense of humour and very witty (especially in a musical sense). The tour would not have been as enjoyable without Gee as our guide.Show moreAcacia Adventure Holidays commented on this reviewHi Laura, Wow... what a great review, thank you!

- SSteph· September 13th, 2019Gee was the best rep I’ve had, he has set the bar very high now, I went on two other tours with separate companies and nothing compares. Gee takes great pride in his trips from the amazing food he cooked us (especially the veggies, dairy allergy and gluten allergy that was in our group ) to asking everyone what they wanted from their trip ie excursions and giving us all the info we needed he even arranged it for us. Due to my allergies I was worried I would struggle in a camp environment and in fact I put weight on and ate like a Queen -which I didn’t expect in Africa. Not only was gee’s veggie spag Bol the best I’ve ever had he is really knowledgeable and would explain key facts and stories about everywhere we went. I had the best time on this trip and South Africa is now my 1. Thanks stephShow moreAcacia Adventure Holidays commented on this reviewWOW! Thanks for the awesome review. We will definitely let know Gee he was a superhero! So glad you had a wonderful experience - thank you for exploring with us. Kindest Regards, The Acacia Africa TeamTrip date: March 2019

Asked on October 3rd, 2024What is the situation with single supplements?

Asked on October 2nd, 2024If my circumstances change, how difficult would it be to switch departure dates and is there a fee involved? Also, how much time would you need in advance to make the change?

If you make a tour date change from the original departure, a change-fee may be applicable: GBP50 / EUR100 / AUD100 / NZD100 / USD100 / CAD100 / ZAR600 per booking. Gee is no longer with Acacia Africa. Your Tour Guide will be determined closer to the time, it depends on their route whereabouts.

Brett
Asked on July 29th, 2024Do I need to apply for visas for these African countries by myself in advance? Or do you provide a group tour and I pay for it? Is there wifi in the car? If not, how do I use the Internet? Is there hot water for bathing when camping? Will you pick me up when I arrive at the city airport on the first day?
- Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperator•Written July 2024
Depending on your passport nationality there may be visa requirements, these would need to be arranged by yourself prior to the tour. It is best to check directly with the relevant embassies/official websites. The tour is a Group Tour, maximum 16 passengers travelling together. It is a participatory tour in nature, meaning that all the passengers assist with camp set up, food pre, cooking and daily upkeep of the vehicle. There is no wifi on the truck (vehicle). Some campsites will offer wifi if available, possibly at a small fee. Campsites will have shared bathroom facilities with hot water showers given that the geezers are working (they should be). The tour starts from a specific location at a specific time. Namely the Court Classique Suite Hotel in Pretoria at 7am on Day 1. We do suggest clients plan to arrive at least one day before and book pre tour accommodation at the starting point. You are welcome to book directly with the hotel or we can assist with additional pre tour accommodation and an airport transfer.

Harm
Asked on June 24th, 2024Is there a medical advisory for the tours?
- Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperator•Written June 2024
We recommend that travelers are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 although it is not mandatory for tours departing on or after June 1, 2023.

Elisabeth
Asked on June 7th, 2024Do I need my own sleeping bag?
- Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperator•Written June 2024
Yes, you should bring your own sleeping bag, although other camping equipment is provided.
- Y
Yessica
Asked on June 5th, 2024Should I bring any travel documents?
- Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperator•Written June 2024
Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your tour's end date and has enough pages for entry/exit stamps.
