Overland safari Small group touring
Your overland truck is your
home, where tour leaders
and drivers merge into your
cooks. Participation tours
mean you help with the camp
organisation, or choose non-
participation, which means
all chores are done for you,
just sit back and relax - we like
the sound of that! This way of
travel very much embraces
the rawness of the continent
and all it has to off er. Small group tours usually accommodate
between four and 16 guests so it’s a very
intimate way to travel. There are more
chances to get off the beaten track in
groups as small as these and the cultural
activities have more of a presence.
You’ll stay in a mixture of camps, under
canvas, hotel and lodge accommodation,
all dependant on your destinations.
Vehicles are smaller and itineraries are
created to ensure the most suitable
amount of time is spent in each place,
before moving onto the next.
Independent
travel
These trips are
tailor-made to suit
all of your needs;
nothing you don’t
want but everything
you do. They are
totally bespoke,
choose any kind
of accommodation
and pick styles that
suit your individual
preferences. You also
get to decide exactly
how long you stay
for. Every decision
is down to you and
no part of the journey is dependent on other people. Some of your game drives and
safari activities may be with other guests staying at the same accommodation, unless of
course you are willing to pay for a private arrangement!
