TOURING QUICK FACTS

Physical challenges:

  • Be prepared to swap seats so everyone can get a good view of the wildlife on safari.
  • There are some long days on rough roads on this itinerary, but the scenery is well worth the distance you travel.
  • Safari vehicles can be a little higher than your average vehicle, you need to be able to climb in and out on your own.
  • In some remote parts, while on safari, only bush toileting (in nature) is available which requires squatting for ladies.
  • Be sure to pack all medications, even the just in case ones so that you are covered, as you are in the remote bush for days at a time and facilities maybe difficult to access.
  • Always be friendly and travel with a smile, you will in turn get the most out of your journey.
  • It's not a good idea to wander the streets at night.
  • Leave your expensive jewellery and designer labels at home, they are not practical in this part of the world.
  • It’s a good idea to be mindful of your valuables, it’s known that there are pickpockets about in some areas.
