  • V

    Victor

    Asked on December 16th, 2025

    What is the average age of this tour please?

    Age Range
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written December 2025

      This trip is one of our 18-39 trips, so only people aged between 18-39 would be on this trip.

  • S

    Sarah

    Asked on November 14th, 2023

    Would like to inquire if this tour is also possible with children ages 13, 11 and 10 year old?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2023

      Unfortunately not - this is an 18-Thirtysomething tour which is for 18-39 year olds only. Minimum age on our non-family tours is 12 so a 10 and 11 year old would only be able to go on our Family Tours.

  • C

    Carmen

    Asked on December 27th, 2022

    On the days that it says just breakfast is included i'm assuming this would mean that there's places to purchase food throughout the day? Also with taking photos etc is there places to charge mobile devices in the accommodations?

    Meals
    Travel Support
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written December 2022

      Yes, that is correct! You will be able to purchase your additional meals throughout the day. Your CEO will also be able to provide recommendations on their favourite places to eat! Yes, the campsites that we use have electricity and you will be able to charge your devices! Please note that rolling blackouts do occur from time to time in South Africa.

      Traveler•Written December 2022

      How do you go about the currency differences? Would it be best to bring pound sterling and just exchange whilst we're in each country?
