  • Johannesburg to Nairobi Overland: Waterfalls & Beaches reviewer 1
    · September 7th, 2023
    I just finished the tour an absolutely loved it. My highlights were: 1. Serengeti & Ngogoro creator: You spend 2.5 days on safari and two nights wilderness camping in the national parks, surrounded by animals and the most stunning scenery. We saw so many big cats, elephants, zebras, and giraffes, the animals were by far the best here 2. Okavenga delta: You travel into the Okavanega via local mokoros, It was one of the most relaxing things I’ve ever done, followed by a night camping under the stars and a walking safari 3. Zanzibar: Zanzibar was so much fun and the water was crystal clear. We went snorkelling and ate the freshest seafood Things to know before booking * Camping: The majority of the tour is camping. If you're not a camper, don't worry! The tents are spacious, easy to put up and the mattresses are comfortable * Long drives: There are quite a few long driving days, so be prepared with snacks and entertainment. * Early wake ups: There are some early wake ups, so be prepared to hit the road well before sunrise, but you can sleep on the lando * Tipping: In Africa, it's customary to tip all service providers. Make sure you bring some extra cash for this.

    Rhonda

    Asked on May 10th, 2024

    Looking at the Johannesburg to Nairobi tour. On your website the dates are 23 Nov 24 to 19 Dec 24. On the G Adventures website this tour is called (Craters & Camping) and the dates are 25 Nov 24 to 21 Dec. Seems to be the same tour but websites show different dates. Why?

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten May 2024

      These 2 trips are different as the Waterfalls and Beaches visits the Okavango Delta and the other trip does not.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten May 2024

      Unfortunately this is an 18-Thirtysomething tour that has an upper age limit of 39 years old. We have to be really strict about it. If we were more lenient on this, we would be false advertising and may lead to customer dissatisfaction or miss-selling of our product. It is not our intention to exclude people, it is simply that we have a specific product which targets that age group and traveller type.
