- Matt· September 3rd, 2024The Uganda portion was excellent. Great guides, good food, no complaints other than it involves a lot of driving, but of course there's no way around that unless you fly on your own. Highly recommend Acacia for the portion they operate. Unfortunately the local operator they used for the Mara was pretty miserable. The vans they used were incredibly uncomfortable and woefully inadequate for the terrain. We missed some viewing opportunities because of how slow they drove. Unless Acacia starts using operators with better vehicles I cannot recommend doing the Masai Mara portion with them, you would be better off booking your own.Show more
- Sondre· January 2nd, 2019Great tour guide (Crispen) and great driver (Ben)! I experienced a lot of new things, and both Crispen and Ben learned me so many new things. They led us to incredible animals, beautiful landscapes and they made the journey both interesting and comfortable. Two amazing persons, whom I recommend to everyone elseShow more
- Oliver· August 1st, 2018Crispin is an energetic, enthusiastic and flexible tour guide who is always happy to answer all your questions. My trip to Africa would not be as great as it is if it wasn't for him.Show more

Gina
Asked on June 20th, 2025A few questions, really. I'm comparing the camping and full accommodation options. What size are the tents, and do I get my own or do I share? Are sleeping mats or mattresses provided? How thick are they? back issue? Do you supply thicker mat or chair for extra comfort? Is there help available with setting up/taking down tents if needed? What are the bathroom and shower facilities like at the campsites? Are there opportunities to do laundry along the way? Are meals prepared by a crew, or does the group participate in cooking? Do you cater for dietary needs (e.g. vegetarian, low-sodium)? Are there tables/seats to eat, or is it ground-style dining? What's the average age range on this tour? it says 18-75 - what is typical? Are there long drive days, and how frequent are rest stops? Do you offer rest days or opportunities to skip an activity for some downtime? Can I choose accommodation on certain nights instead of camping? Are there 'emergency upgrades' available if I need a break from the tent? What's the expected weather for this time of year? I'm looking at July-Aug, 2026 Are campsites generally flat and shaded? Anything else I should know?

Asked on January 20th, 2024I am looking into booking this trip and having another tour booked starting on the 23rd in the Seychelles. The only flight that makes this possible departs at 7:10 pm on the last day of the tour (Nov 22). The itinerary says only late afternoon, was trying to see if catching this flight would be possible.
- Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperator•Written January 2024
We cannot be sure how quickly border formalities will be completed. We are not allowed to drop clients at the airport. Jomo Kenyatta International (Nairobi) has a 3-hour check in time for international departures so for a 19h10 flight you need to be there at (around) 16h10. We cannot promise to get into Nairobi in time for you to taxi out to the airport and make your flight.

Every Overland tour has an Adventure Pass which is paid to your tour leader in Africa at the beginning of the tour (or pre-paid by arrangement prior to your tour).
