Lazano April was the best tour guide and made this trip really special. He put a lot of effort into planning this trip and even when things started to go wrong he always had a backup plan to make sure our group gets a good experience. It didnt feel like you were with a tour guide, more like travelling with a friend. Thanks Lazano

Our guide Patrick was excellent. A busy trip with some long drives at times. Physically not arduous if prepared as long as you aren't suffering any of the usual ailments you can expect to get at the time of the treks. Great variety of scenery and flora and fauna to be seen with lots of expert info available. Very much a different world. Had some incredible experiences and the group was great.

What our customers ask about African Adventure Tours
When is the best time to go on an Adventure tour in Africa?
Timing varies across different regions of Africa. East Africa's peak season runs July through October coinciding with the wildebeest migration in Kenya and Tanzania. For Southern Africa including Botswana and South Africa the dry season from May to October offers the best wildlife viewing conditions. One TourRadar traveler's October safari experience noted: "The Serengeti & Ngorongoro crater were highlights - we spent 2.5 days on safari and saw countless big cats elephants zebras and giraffes in stunning scenery."
What type of accommodation can I expect on an Africa Adventure tour?
Accommodations range from basic camping to upscale lodges. The Elegant Desert Lodge in Namibia provides comfortable rooms while tours like Intrepid's Southern Africa Adventure combine camping experiences in locations such as the Okavango Delta. Some tours feature distinctive options like the Lenchada Tourist Camp in Masai Mara or traditional desert camps in Morocco's Sahara. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The mix of accommodation was perfect - from comfortable lodges in Etosha to magical nights camping in the Okavango Delta where we could hear hippos grunting nearby."
What kind of wildlife experiences can I expect on an African Adventure tour?
Wildlife viewing opportunities span different ecosystems. The Great Migration in East Africa's Masai Mara and Serengeti features over 2 million wildebeest. Southern Africa offers chances to track rhinos on foot in Matobo National Park or observe elephants along Chobe's riverfront. According to a TourRadar traveler: "We saw incredible wildlife in Etosha National Park - from lions lounging by waterholes to huge herds of elephants and our guide's expertise helped us spot even the most elusive animals."
How long should I plan for an African Adventure tour?
Tour durations range from 5 to 48 days. Popular choices include the 14-day Garden Route Adventure through South Africa or the extensive 48-day Kenya to Cape Town journey. Shorter options like the 6-day Zambia tour provide a good introduction. One TourRadar traveler noted: "Two weeks just isn't enough; the itinerary showed us a good sampler but there's so much more to explore."
What's included in meals on African Adventure tours?
Tours typically combine meals prepared by camp cooks with local restaurant dining. Morocco Joy Travel's desert tours feature traditional Berber dinners in the desert while safari experiences often include bush breakfasts and evening snacks. Most tours can accommodate specific dietary needs including vegetarian vegan and halal options. A TourRadar reviewer shared: "The food was fantastic throughout - from traditional Moroccan tagines in the desert camp to amazing bush BBQs in Kruger National Park."
How much spending money should I bring for an African Adventure tour?
Plan for USD 30-50 daily for extras beyond included costs. Optional activities vary in price. In Livingstone Zambia activities like helicopter rides over Victoria Falls or white-water rafting cost between USD 150-350. A TourRadar traveler suggested: "Bring extra for optional activities - they really enhance the experience but aren't always included in the tour price."
