    Thank you for arranging personalized tour. Overall, all the family members had good experience and fun especially the helpful tour guides and excellent accommodations but some of the arrangements didn’t reach our expectations like having to pay the meals and missing tour even though they should have been included and meeting time. Other than those, we had wonderful time! Thank you

    Stuart

    Asked on January 14th, 2023

    I would like to know how deep do we dive on those dive trips? I can dive down to 40 meters, but my travel insurance covers me up to 30 meters. I do not want to go below 30 meters to make sure I am still cover by my travel insurance.

    Tour Details
    • Across Africa Tours & TravelOperatorWritten January 2023

      2 Mile reef in Bazaruto dives are not deeper then 20 metres. Tofo they can dive 25-30 metres.

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Across Africa Tours & TravelOperatorWritten November 2022

      As I can see on the booking now page, the single room is unavailable for this tour. However, I can check with the tour operator for you if they offer shared rooms for a single traveller or not. Are you happy with the shared room with others? You can leave the tour early on the last day, but I want to let you know that the last day you're not attending will not be refunded to you because the price is already set for the tour.

    Asked on October 27th, 2022

    I am a first time solo female looking for Affordable and safe diving and land tours. I am only available from the end of may to the beginning of august. I am an advanced diver but not a confident diver. Do you have such trips offered? Africa looks amazing!

    Travel Support
