​
IS THIS TAG-ALONG TOUR RIGHT FOR YOU?
​​
*Parts of this trip will involve camping in remote locations with no fence between you and the wild. For most travellers the experience of listening to the sounds of the bush so close at night or the exhilaration of an elephant walking through camp proves to be the highlight of their trip. You will have a phased introduction, starting with fenced camps to first become comfortable in your surroundings.
​
*The best game viewing is early in the morning and it is best practice to leave as much contingency daylight ahead of you to get to the next camp, so expect some long driving days and many early starts. The excitement of seeing your first lion will make the early start worth it.
​
*This is a participatory trip, so you will be hands on with purchasing provisions, camp set-up, cooking and cleaning. Team spirit and making new friends are all part of the experience.
*Some camps may not have showers or proper toilets, so you will need to use the water tanks on the vehicles to wash and may need to use a “bush toilet”, a small price to pay to be truly in the wild.
​
* Whilst our vehicles are maintained to the highest standard and guaranteed to be a maximum of 3 years old, we cannot guarantee the condition of private vehicles and the wear and tear from rough terrain may result in delays from breakdowns. We operate a no vehicle gets left behind policy.
* “This is Africa!” Expect to find a river in flood or a route no longer passable. There may be instances where we will have to change plans at the last minute. This is all part of the adventure, but rest assured contingency is built into the trip to get you to the final destination on time.
