Accommodatie

Een comfortabele participatie tour waarbij alles geregeld is, met 11 nachten verblijf in vaste tenten, chalets en lodges met en suite faciliteiten. 1 nacht waarbij er één badkamer per 2 kamers beschikbaar is. Limited Participation: Een noodzakelijk onderdeel van de safari is de deelname aan bepaalde werkzaamheden. Van het opzetten van de tent tot het inpakken van de truck in de ochtend – dit is allemaal onderdeel van jouw avontuur. Je reisleiders zullen alle maaltijden voorbereiden maar we vragen de deelnemers wel om af en toe (op rotatie) mee te helpen met het op- en afruimen en de afwas. Er zijn een aantal lange reisdagen die zeer vroeg starten en dan is het heel plezierig als iedereen zijn steentje bijdraagt en we samen werken om de dag efficiënt te laten verlopen.

Voorwaarden

Kinderen van 12 jaar en ouder zijn meer dan welkom mits ze samen met de ouder(s) reizen. Wanneer je ouder bent dan 65 jaar is helaas een gezondheidsverklaring noodzakelijk.

FAQ

Ik reis alleen. Is er een single supplement?

Wanneer je alleen reist word je ingedeeld met iemand van hetzelfde geslacht. Wens je een eigen kamer of eigen tent? Per reis zijn er een paar eenpersoonskamers onder voorbehoud van beschikbaarheid.

Welke valuta moet ik meenemen?

Voor deze tour is de ZAR het meest gangbaar. Een creditcard en pinpas wordt soms geaccepteerd in lodges, restaurants, activiteiten centra en supermarkten.

Zal ik een extra nacht voorafgaand aan de reis bijboeken?

We raden aan om de dag voor vertrek al aan te komen in Afrika. Deze boeken we op verzoek voor je bij (slaapzaal/dorm of eigen kamer).

Luchthaventransfer bijboeken?

We raden aan om via ons een luchthaven transfer bij aankomst te boeken. Iemand wacht je op met een naambordje. Hierdoor weet je dat je niet wordt opgelicht en naar de juiste accommodatie wordt gebracht.
