Asked on June 12th, 2024Is it possible to book for a single room/tent?
- Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperator•Written June 2024
we do not offer single tent accommodation on this tour. Accommodation is in twin share tents sharing with another passenger of the same sex. If we have an odd number of men and women then someone will have a tent to him/ herself - but this is worked out amongst the group not promised beforehand.

Traveler•Written March 2024Are there any orphanages for giraffe, rhino, etc along this route that we could visit? My love is for giraffes so this would be my #1 wish to see many of:).
- Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperator•Written March 2024
Hot Air Balloon can happen in the Serengeti. The Tour Leader will assist with availability, booking and organising this locally.
- Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperator•Written March 2024
In Nairobi, Kenya there is a Giraffe Centre & the Elephant Orphanage. I would suggest staying in Nairobi for a few extra days before the tour starts in order to visit these places - well worth it!

Asked on August 19th, 2022do you have pictures of the 3 types of sleeping situations - twin share accommodations, preerected en suite tented camp, bush camping. i will pass on the 11 km hike. can i do that? what does the top of dune 45 hike entail? how long are other hikes?
- Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperator•Written August 2022
On tour we make use of rustic twin share accommodation with facilities and twin share tents with sleeping bag, pillow, and mattress. In most cases rooms are en-suite, but from time to time some rooms may be shared facilities. We mainly use accommodation, which usually have reasonable wash and shower facilities, electricity points and sometimes even a small shop, bar, or swimming pool. The 11km Livingstonia Hike in Malawi is an optional activity, you are welcome to give it a miss. As for the climb up Dune 45, again up to you if you want to do it, I would encourage it if you are able to do it as the views from the top are pretty spectacular. Of course you are welcome to go as far up as you are comfortable or abled to. There are various walks throughout the tour, they are generally slow paced and your guides will brief the group every night on the next day's excursions. If you feel the need, you are welcome to opt out of any walks.

Sam
Asked on August 9th, 2022How much luggage would be necessary on a tour like this, would it be 1 suitcase per person. What type of accommodation. Names of hotels etc.
- Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperator•Written August 2022
Most people bring along a backpack (or other soft bag, no hard cases allowed) and a smaller day bag. Keep to airline restriction (20kg or less). Accommodations details are included in the tour dossier.

Asked on November 20th, 2017What is the Adventure Pass?
- Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperator•Written November 2017
Every Acacia 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). This is separate and in addition to the Tour Price, and covers selected park entries, activities and excursions along the way where payment goes directly to the supplier to ensure local suppliers benefit directly from the income.
