    Dear Ross - it is always a pleasure to receive a review such as yours. Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience and including the details of what to expect on this tour. The East African Explorer 21 day camping trip is certainly a firm favourite and I do believe those memories will last a lifetime. We hope that you'll consider visiting Africa again soon.

      TravelerWritten August 2024

      I am interested in checking the seat availability for the upcoming tour on 23 August. What is the total for this tour?

    • Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperatorWritten August 2024

      The EAE21 tour departing 23 August/ ending in Nairobi 12Sept, is available and guaranteed to operate. Currently we have 9 or 10 clients in the group. The price is split into a main tour price and a separate Adventure Pass: Tour price USD 3275, plus Adventure Pass USD 935. Most nationalities including US passport holders, require a visa for Tanzania (available on tour at the border, USD 50) and for Kenya. The Kenyan visa is called an electronic Travel Authority and must be obtained online before arriving into Kenya. I would also recommend you speak to a doctor or medical professional about health precautions including for anti-malarial tablets. Note also that visitors to Zanzibar Island must show a valid Yellow Fever Vaccination Card.

    Barry

    Asked on May 9th, 2024

    I am an avid photographer both film and video, which requires battery charging. I am also need to use a CPAP machine for snoring which also requires a battery. All batteries need recharging at some point. Do we have outlets anywhere along the trip for recharging batteries. And if so, how often and for how long? Very important to answer as truthfully as possible. My sleep and health and photography depend on this question.

    Transport
    Travel Support
    • Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperatorWritten May 2024

      The tour truck has charging facility and in most campsites along the way it is possible to charge batteries - however - on a tour of this nature and duration we cannot promise 24/7 power supply or that charging facilities wont fail from time to time. We are travelling through some remote and very rural areas where services and facilities lack the reliability you find in Europe. That said, we have carried other clients who carry a CPAP machine and many are keen photographers.

    Susan

    Asked on April 16th, 2024

    Could you provide the quote for a single supplement? Traveller prefers to stay in a single private room.

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperatorWritten April 2024

      Accommodation on tour is in twin share tents and we do not offer a single supplement. If we have an odd number of men and women in the group, someone will have a tent to themselves (this is arranged on the day and is not promised in advance).

    • Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperatorWritten April 2024

      In Livingstone at the departure point hotel we can offer ensuite single rooms for USD 150/night Bed and breakfast. An airport transfer from Livingstone international is USD 50 one way. In Nairobi the Hotel Boulevard is USD 100/night B&B; an airport transfer is USD 45 (or you can hire a taxi locally).

    Asked on April 16th, 2024

    Do you provide single supplement option on this trip? Also would like accommodations 2 days before and 2 days after the tour.

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperatorWritten April 2024

      Accommodation on tour is twin share which means if you are joining the tour on your own, you would be sharing with another passenger of the same sex. We can certainly assist with arranging accommodation in Livingstone before the tour and in Nairobi afterwards.

      Greg

      TravelerWritten April 2024

      Is there no single supplement, even if I have to pay a fee for it?

      We do not offer single supplement. However there is a possibility of a tent to yourself if we have an odd number of men and women.

    Asked on January 13th, 2024

    Is it possible to have my own tent? What type of mattress is provided?

    Accommodation
    • Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperatorWritten January 2024

      Our tours are sold on a sharing-basis. Meaning that single supplements are not applicable. Solo travellers will share a 2-man canvas tent (camping tour 24EAE21) or a twin-bed room (accommodated tour 24EAE21A) with a fellow solo passenger of the same gender. The mattress provided is a covered foam mattress approximately 4cm in thickness.
