Gorillas & Masai Mara - Camping Reverse

Guide

Tour leader throughout

Meals

Virtually all meals are included and are prepared for you by our chef and crew. They are adept at catering for large groups of hungry travellers! Breakfasts usually include cereal, toast and hot food such as porridge or eggs. Lunches tend to feature a range of sandwich options plus a fruit selection. Dinners usually feature soup, a main (a mix of local and international cuisine) and dessert (typically fruit salad). All cooking equipment is loaded onto the overland vehicle and so our crew are ready to prepare food wherever we stop – don’t worry about going hungry on this trip! You also have time to stock up on snacks and drinks along the journey. For meals not included, it would be a good idea to allow a further US$100 to cover these.

Transport

Transport is in one of Exodus’ specialist overland vehicles. The vehicle seats 24 passengers but there is a maximum of 18 passengers on this itinerary. The seating is mostly forward facing and the windows are large and easy to open. People are expected to move around to permit everyone a chance to have a window seat. The vehicle carries all camping equipment and has a large drinking water tank for you to fill up a smaller bottle. There is a six-plug 240V invertor that can recharge camera/phones/laptop batteries when the vehicle is being driven. For game viewing in the Masai Mara, we use smaller 4×4 vehicles.

Accommodation

The camping is full-service, which means the tents are put up and taken down by our crew. We use standard mobile two-person tents for these nights and provide mattresses and all other equipment you’ll need (except a sleeping bag and pillow). East African campsites vary in terms of facilities – do not expect hot showers, flushing toilets or Western standards of cleanliness. Upgrades are available at some locations to a room – these can only be booked and paid for locally. On some nights, we have more than one accommodation option. This can mean that where we stay differs to what has been listed for the day. The accommodation we select around Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is dependent on the gate we are using to access the park. In Kigali, we stay in a small hotel.
