I have some questions regarding Africa Safari tours with G Adventures. I saw some different tours offered and not sure what's the best option. I am interested in Victoria Falls. Between Kruger and Serengeti I'm not sure which one is better. I believe Serengeti is all off road driving? For Kruger National Park, will the game drives be on road or off road or mixture of both? What kind of vehicles? Do we get to see animals up close? How are the road conditions? Would it be an issue for someone with some motion sickness? For accommodations that are camping, can you describe what it is? Is it sleeping bags and tents or have some type of beds? Do we have to bring our own sleeping bags?

All of our African tours with G Adventures have a private vehicle. Some of our tours use the 'Lando', which is a new type of vehicle that is custom-made, purpose-built overland adventure vehicle gets you where other vehicles can't in a style you won't get anywhere else. It is designed with rider safety and comfort in mind, so will be a great option if you get any motion sickness. Road conditions can run the full gamut from new to being in very poor condition. This style of travel is by no means luxury but it allows us the flexibility of making stops when needed, and reaching some out-of-the way parts in Africa where the traditional safari crowd would not dare to go. We have many different camping styles on our tours, but for the tour you have enquired on there is 11 nights of participation camping. This will require you to assist in the assembly and pack down of your camp. They are sturdy two person tents. We provide the tent and the sleeping pads, but you will need to bring your own sleeping bag and pillow.

The camping Safari was great. Having travelled 5,200 kms & moving almost daily, we were lucky the weather was fine....

The 20-day tour met and exceeded my expectations. The tour was on the leisure side which gave me the time to rest before hopping on to another safaris and included activities. For those who were more active, option tours were there for them. The tour included 6 safaris and 2 bush walks. By second day of safaris, we have spotted the BIG FIVE! The helicopter rides for Victoria Falls and Okavango Delta were awesome! Apart from safaris, I enjoyed the lodges and food provided. Met many new friends from all over the globe. It certainly was a journey and experience of a lifetime!Show more

  I have few more questions regarding Kruger National Park, is it all paved road systems? Do the guided game drives go off road? I think Serengeti National Park is more remote and have unpaved road systems?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written January 2025
  The roads will be marked and treaded upon, but will often be unpaved in most of the National Parks and Game Reserves that we visit. We will be going off road to get the best views of the animals up close.
