Would it be possible to do this adventure with just hotels and lodges? As in 100% of the adventure in hotels and lodges with no camping?

The accommodation on this tour consists mostly of camping (70%) and the other days will be in simple lodges/hostels (30%). Camping uses roomy three-person tents but only for two people. Tents are shared (between two people of the same sex from your group unless you are a couple). Some nights are bush or desert camping and the rest of the time in campsites. Facilities and standards at campsites vary from well equipped to very basic.

Is this trip also the other way around, from Zanzibar to Nairobi?

We don't run the trip from Zanzibar/Dar es Salaam northbound to Nairobi I'm afraid. Looking at your dates, I think the best trip we could offer would be from Harare to Cape Town starting on 5 Nov. This would just need a flight from Zanzibar/Dar to Harare to connect.

Is camping inside the Serengeti national park included in this price?

On this trip a visit to the Serengeti is not included, but is offered as an optional extra priced at £695.00 per person. Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater 2.5 Day / 2 Night Safari - £695.00 per person. On your Oasis Overland trip through Tanzania, you have the opportunity to go on a guided safari in the world renowned Serengeti National Park & Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area. The above cost is in addition to the trip price.

Do you have a group price? Also, would you consider a group discount and lock the price for us?

As this is one of our scheduled group departures, I'm afraid we don't offer group pricing - £895.00 would be the best price we are able to offer on this particular trip. This trip has a maximum capacity of 24, so if you were travelling with between 7 and 12, we do currently have enough space remaining for you all to join.

What a trip of a lifetime! Strongly recommend traveling Africa with Oasis - it was a truly unforgettable experience!...
What a trip of a lifetime! Strongly recommend traveling Africa with Oasis - it was a truly unforgettable experience! I did the 75 day Nairobi to Cape Town trip with on average about 13 people. I’m so glad I did the entire route as it really gave you the chance to experience the diversity of Africa. It felt a bit tiring towards the end but I have no regrets. If you did want a shorter trip I would recommend Nairobi to Nairobi or Nairobi to Vic Falls - although Namibia is AMAZING! The truck itself is great - the line of seats down both sides of the truck are perfect for ensuring you socialise with everyone and relationships don’t get too cliquey. Great way to play card/board games, sleep and admire the amazing views. I sometimes get car sickness and it didn’t happen at all on the truck! The truck had UK charging points, drink bottle holders and speakers to plug music in which were all very handy! My tour leaders were Often and Alexis. Often was the most amazing guide you can imagine! After 75 days on the trip I learnt that there was nothing he couldn’t do! He was so helpful with fixing anything that broke - air mattress, zips, tyres etc not to mention helping with a million other things - when he saw you struggling to fit your tent into its bag, making his famous garlic bread for your cook group etc. He cooked the most delicious food! He always ensured his beloved truck was in perfect working order. He was so open in sharing his life experiences and ensured we fell in love with Africa just as he had. Essentially, the trip would have been very different without him. Like Often, Alexis has been doing this route for years and it showed. She was very organised - with the days and border crossings always going smoothly. She was great at making sure if there was a specific African meal or something we wanted to see that wasn’t in the itinerary we would get to experience it! Alexis was also really helpful when it came to meal times. The food cooked by Alexis and Often was some of the tastiest meals I’ve ever had! So yummy! Being in a cook group can be a bit of a pain but it’s a great way to get to know everyone, learn new recipes, have some laughs and foster that family feeling. I spent a lot more money than I thought I would but you’re only in Africa once (hopefully more)! There are a lot more atms available than what the info Oasis provide states. You also don’t need as much USD as it implies as you do end up using local currencies in the countries you’re in. For me, I had a tonne of USD so I just exchanged it at the borders and rarely used an atm. In saying that, having too much USD actually worked out well as some people didn’t bring enough so I was able to help them out. There will be supermarket/grocery store stops about every 3 days too so there is no need to bring all your toiletries etc. The tents, dorms etc were absolutely fine! Tents are really quick to put up and down and are comfortable. There are upgrades available and a few of us always took a dorm room if it was less than $8. My number one tip is to buy a pillow at the start of the trip - you won’t regret it! Bring a spare set of headphones and flip flops because so many of us lost or broke both! Don’t worry about over packing - you get a lot of space to store your things. I’d also recommend bringing binoculars for all the game drives - we were always fighting over who got to use the two that we had! Do both of the village walks in Malawi and make sure you go down the slide in Jinja! Overall, it was just the most amazing trip. I have travelled quite a lot but never seen and experienced a place like Africa and I’ll always be so thankful for the memories and friends I now have.Show more
