We are looking at a tour that spends as much time as possible in the parks. We want to go to this tours places but also would like to visit Okavango delta. What is the camping is it tents or tents with en-suite or are there stretchers in the tents or are we on the floor etc.

Regarding the camping arrangements, the accommodation is in three-person dome tents used for 2 people. These come with a sleeping mat and passengers are required to bring their own sleeping bag and pillow.

Is it a ground tent or beds in a tent where it seems to be more comfortable. So do you have photos of what your "Camping" looks like? Are all trips similar? How can you determine the type of "Camping" is involved in your tours?

Our camping style is what we often describe as Adventure Camping. This being the case most nights you are sleeping on the ground in a tent. We provide three person dome tents (used for just two people) and high density sleeping mats. Occasionally we will stay in shared dorms. All of our trips consist of the same style of camping. The 15 day Garden Route tour has more nights in dorms than camping. All other trips are predominantly camping.

could you please tell me if Victoria Falls is also in the itinerary. could you please send me a more detailed itinerary of each day.

This tour finishes at Victoria Falls where we stay for the last three nights and so you have the chance to go on the rainforest walk to see the waterfalls on this trip. I have attached the detailed itinerary which breaks down the trip day by day.

Do you still have this tour departing in late November 2022?...between 23-30th Nov

We do not have any of our northbound tours running this year. Our southbound tours starting in Nairobi have always been our main route and the most popular whereas the northbound route was introduced later on and has always been quieter. As a result, given the time we perceive it will take longer to get bookings back to normal we took the choice to cancel all northbound tours this year.

What are the optional excursions?

The tour operator has advised that additional optional excursions available for this tour are on a request basis and can be organised once on the tour.

As a tour booking website, TourRadar cannot organise visas for you on your behalf as the visa requirements are regularly being updated and vary for the nationality of one traveller to the next. However, we recommend checking with your local embassy or consulate website for the latest up to date information.

Is there a hotel list available?

All the accommodation on the tour is subject to change until 4-6 weeks before the departure date. After the booking is finalised you will be issued your final trip documents with your specific accommodation details.

What are the inclusions of the tour?

This tour is fantastic value for money due to the number of activities, meals and transport included, to see all the inclusions on the tour please click 'What's Included' on the main tour page.

I'm a solo traveller, is there a single supplement?

If you are travelling alone there is not a single supplement as the accommodation is based on share accommodation depending on availability. Please contact our team of Travel Experts for further information.

Are any vaccines required?

We recommend you contact a medical professional for the most up to date and accurate information. TourRadar cannot legally give medical advice and we want you to be well prepared for your trip of a lifetime!

· December 2nd, 2015
Unfortunately I only joined for 9 days (Jo'burg to Vic Falls) and I had an amazing time. I would've loved to stay for longer. The group was dynamic, fun, and nice. The tour guide Kanyo and our driver Mugu were very good, doing their work and mixing with the group, keeping track of everything, being there for us when necessary. I was sad to leave!
