    What is the average age and size of the groups?

    Age Range
    Group size
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten January 2024

      Our average group size is 10-12 (maximum 16). We always have a age mixture on our Africa safari, the average age would be 25-55.

  • J

    Joe

    Asked on January 22nd, 2024

    I am looking into booking this trip and having another tour booked starting on the 23rd in the Seychelles. The only flight that makes this possible departs at 7:10 pm on the last day of the tour (Nov 22). The itinerary says only late afternoon, was trying to see if catching this flight would be possible.

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten January 2024

      You are right, it would be from Eldoret - Nairobi on the last day. Let me check with my local team if your flight would be okay then I will get back to you with the answers soonest.

    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten January 2024

      We should be able to get into NBO in time for client to get a cab but we cannot actually promise. Jomo Kenyatta Int'l has a 3-hour check-in for international flights so a 19h10 flight means checking in at 16h10. On the last day we drive from Eldoret to Nairobi. It isnt a long journey (+/-<300km) and we should be there early afternoon. But I cannot promise.

    Nathan

    Asked on January 11th, 2024

    I would like to bring my own tend and inflatable camp bed with me. Is this permitted on your tours?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten January 2024

      You are welcome to bring your own tent on the tour. However, accommodations primarily consist of our provided twin-share tents. You should keep your personal tent with your belongings in your locker. Some campgrounds may have additional charges for pitching personal tents, which would be your responsibility.

  • P

    Peter

    Asked on September 23rd, 2023

    I am single. Can you go as a single and be matched with another who is also single.

    Single supplement
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten September 2023

      We can most certainly welcome you as a solo traveler on this trip. The great news about that is pricing is the same - solo travellers will be matched up and share a tent/room with another solo traveller of the same gender.
