    I was wondering if there is electricity in the areas we are camping...I have a CPAP.

    Accommodation
    Travel Support
    • Oasis OverlandOperatorWritten August 2024

      This section of the trip is 100% camping though we do have charging facilities on the truck for your cpap machine, that's not a problem. You will just need to let us know about bringing that on the trip so we can note it on our end as we do take everyone's medical conditions seriously. We would also recommend bringing a travel battery that will hold charge for most of the nights and a power bank. On some days you may do wild camping which means there might not be electricity for several days and the truck charging portals may not be used during these times since the truck will not be moving but this will not be for more than 3 days.

      Vicki

      TravelerWritten January 2023

      I don't yet understand how much the Gorilla tour itself costs. How much is that?

    • Oasis OverlandOperatorWritten January 2023

      Gorilla Trekking Permit = £710 per person. On our trips to Rwanda & Uganda, the opportunity of being up close and personal with a family of highland Mountain Gorillas, has to be classed as one of the most amazing wildlife encounters in Africa. Full payment is required at the time of booking and is subject to availability. Once requested your permits cannot be refunded or exchanged.

    Could you please clarify the sleeping arrangements? Could you also clarify the bathroom arrangements? Also, this traveler wants to know what is the best time to see the gorillas.

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Oasis OverlandOperatorWritten December 2022

      This tour is based on 100% camping at campsites. The campsites mostly have decent toilet facilities, but not always hot showers. We offer this trip all year round, and since the gorillas are located in a very small area, one should be able to see them all year round too.

    Evelyn

    Shelley

    Asked on December 1st, 2016

    Would it be possible for me to leave the tour after the gorilla trekking in Uganda?

    Other
    • Oasis OverlandOperatorWritten December 2016

      It would be possible for you to leave the trip earlier. You could leave straight after trekking with the gorillas late afternoon, but that would mean having to arrange your own taxi / transport back from the gorillas on to where ever you may be going. As we will be getting the group taken to the Rwandan border straight from the gorilla trek. You would also need to have all your belongings with you to take to the gorilla trek and leave them in the transport vehicle while you are trekking.

      You would also have to arrange any accommodation for yourself the moment you leave the trip.

      So it is possible but it is not the easiest of options.

  • V

    Vanessa

    Asked on December 1st, 2016

    What is the accommodation set up on this trip?

    Accommodation
    • Oasis OverlandOperatorWritten December 2016

      This is a camping based trip, so we include the tents (& therefore your accommodation on trip), which are three person dome tents, which two people of the same sex share.
