Transport
The vehicle normally used for this trip is a specially modified safari truck. Seating is 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. There is plenty of legroom and packing space. All vehicles carry a reference library and icebox. The roads are generally excellent in South Africa with little traffic. Even the dirt roads are usually smooth and well maintained. Some of the areas we visit in Namibia are very remote and the roads are not always well maintained so it can be bumpy at times. There are four or five long driving days, but the scenery is breath-taking so this should not prove too much of a hardship. It can get cold on the truck in winter, so a warm, windproof jacket is recommended, though it is generally hot in summer.
Guide
The trip is guided by a tour leader and driver.
Meals
All breakfasts, seven lunches and 12 dinners are included. We suggest you allow about US$320 for meals not included in the itinerary. Camp meals should be wholesome and plentiful, but do not expect cordon bleu cooking. However, the general standard of food is good and vegetarians are well catered for. Please notify us of specific dietary requirements. The water provided on this trip is safe and clean drinking water, normally from boreholes. If you would rather have bottled water then this will be at your expense, though we would encourage you to make use of the safe drinking water provided as this helps diminish plastic consumption.

Accommodation
We spend 15 nights camping, two nights in a hotel and two nights in a guesthouse. We stay in Classic-standard hotels/guesthouses in Cape Town and Swakopmund. Because accommodation is very oversubscribed, we cannot always guarantee a particular lodge or hotel, but in Cape Town we stay within walking distance of restaurants and itโll be easy to catch a taxi to the V&A Waterfront (please note, the group might be accommodated in different but similar properties in Cape Town). We camp in two-person tents throughout the rest of the trip. Camping is undeniably the best way to experience Africa and fixed campsites in South Africa and Namibia are particularly well cared for: clean, tidy and with facilities of a reasonable standard. Some of these campsites have swimming pools. It is possible that up to two nights are spent wild camping. All the camping departures involve participatory camping. This means you are expected to help put up and take down your tent and camping gear and carry your own bags to/from the bus. The rest of the camping chores, however, such as cooking and cleaning, are done by the crew. All communal camping gear is provided, including spacious igloo tents, thick foam mattresses, and folding stools. You need to take your own sleeping bag. Wifi is available about half the time but is not always reliable. Single supplement available. Due to the limited amount of accommodation within Etosha National Park, it may be necessary to sleep outside the park on some or all of the nights we are there. This does not impact the number of game drives we have within the park.
