Details

A real mixed trip with just over half of it spent camping and the rest in a mixture of hotels, guesthouses and hostels. Local hotels will be comfortable but don’t expect any luxuries. With some long drive days to be expected, you’ll get to bond with the rest of the group as you watch the world go by.

You’ll have the experience of an African camp master to help prep food when camping - but don’t forget you’ll have your own jobs around camp too! An adventurous journey that will be one that you won’t forget!
