Do you have questions about going on a safari? We can help. Check out our guide of the most frequently asked questions about our Safaris.

What camping equipment do we need?

All tours will include; tents (camping tours), chairs, tables, cutlery, pots, pans, etc.

Sleeping bags are included on selected camping tours, while a sleeping bag rental option is available on others. Most travelers will bring their own sleeping bag + travel pillow + towel. Bedding is included on the accommodated tours.

Sleeping mats are included on most overland tours, with the exception of a few budget overland camping tours. We will advise on this when suggesting a tour(s) for your overland adventure.

The camping tour makes use of large 2-man dome canvas tents, with built in mosquito nets. They are super quick and easy to put up and take down. The accommodated tours combine the adventure of camping and comfort of bedded accommodation, making use of twin and single rooms in hotels, hostels, lodge-style bungalows, chalets and permanent tented safari camps.

Bush camping options depends on the tour site

If camping on the mountain, light camping equipment will always be included, food, water, fruits, a first aid box, raincoats in case of rain etc

There are options of meals. For example:

Meals can be prepared from hotel and brought to the camp site ready to be served by 8:00 pm in by one of the local guides and Hotel chef.

Alternatively

Roofed top tent etc. therefor Maggie has everything it takes to be in the wilderness

Transport to the village is not included. The proffered transport to this tour sites are by Boda bodas and a bicycle depending on the distance

The car can also be an alternative but on nearing the tour site it was to be packed at least 3meters away from the residential area to avoid inconveniencing the locals
