Is this a tour that you offer in sections or is it the full route only?

We can offer this in shorter parts, yes. Realistically, you would need to join in Belem. We have had people join there before and it works OK. We have a couple days scheduled there, and there is a decent airport to fly into with lots of regional connections. As this is not a regular stop you would need to allow a little flexibility with your dates in case we are running a bit ahead or a few days behind. So, we would recommend you plan to arrive in Belem on 2nd April at the latest.

Why is there an age restriction to 69 when I'll be 78?

This trip is a 50% camping-based, fully participatory trip. You will need to put up your tent, take it down, lift heavy tents, cook for the group, collect firewood, and keep the truck clean. Everyone is expected to do their part and work as a team.

what is the group dynamics and how many people have signed up so far is it mostly solo travelers and more or less what is the ages male and female just trying to get an idea of the group dynamics

The participants are mostly solo travellers and the ages are from 20s to 70s.

  Is there also an option to meet in Paramaribo instead please mid April time please and then instead try trip would be around 2 weeks?
- Oasis OverlandOperator•Written February 2024
  2 weeks is really too short to be joining a section of a trip like this I'm afraid, we don't tend to take people on odd sections for any less than 3 or 4 weeks, as you are in effect taking a place that someone else could have for the full 57 days experience.

  I have done several long overland camping trips but the tents are very heavy. Reluctantly this won't be a trip for me.
