How popular is this tour? There doesn't seem to be many reviews and I've not heard of this tour group before. The max group size is 17 but what is the average number of people on one of these tours around this time?

We are one of the only companies to include Kenya and Tanzania as a combination. Drifters Adventure tours is the oldest overland safari company in southern Africa and we have been operating for 39 years. We run small group tours with a maximum of 17 pax but generally we average out anywhere between 10 and 14 pax. Currently on your date in question the tour is guaranteed and has 6 pax confirmed

What does it mean, that we stay in camp?

This is a camping safari. Meaning you sleep under canvas tents

Is electricity available in our rooms at the hotels or camps?

when we are staying in lodged accommodation electricity is available, but unfortunately this is not guaranteed for the campsites

How much time is spent watching the migration?

We generally conduct a full day game drive for this purpose.

70 y/o the maximum age? How much walking?

Our minimum age is 12 years old & that we are open to mature travelers up to 75 years old provided they have clean bill of health/fitness. A fair amount of walking & hiking is conducted whilst a majority of the tour is spent in our overland vehicle. The drives can be a bit bumpy & sometimes long so one needs to be prepared for such. One cannot give an actual estimation of how much walking is included in this program as it varies based on what's happening on the group, however be prepared for a fair amount as one would expect from adventure camping tour.
