Do I have to pay the supplement for the single room? Because I'm not interested to have the single room. Secondly, regarding the internation flights: On the arrival 08 november should arrive at 16:45, is it too late? On the departure date, the flight leave Freetown at 09:00 on 18 November, is it too early? How does it work for the transfer to the airport?

Airport transfers are included in this trip so you would just need to let us know your full flight details once booked. Unfortunately, as the current passenger list stands you would need to pay the single supplement unless another single male traveller books the trip for us to pair you with. The total trip price is GBP 2569 with single supplement of GBP 499.

I had an absolutely exceptional 287 days on this trip! The trip notes prepared me well for what to expect! At times in was rough, just like the trip notes said it would be! My guide worked her butt off to ensure the trip ran smoothly and could even bake cakes over an open fire! The food was healthy, plentiful and meals were well balanced, however being a picky eater it was sometimes hard for me to "love" the food. ( My fault) We did have changes to our itinerary and some delays however, I genuinely feel that the decisions that were made were for our own safety and that the office was constantly watching out for us! I can't really comment on accommodation... I loved my tent and some campsites/hotels were better than others. I enjoyed bush camping and give that a 5 star rating! Expect the unexpected, go with the flow, prepare to rough it and this trip will change your outlook on the world. Overall, the trip was good value for money but I did need way more money than the trip notes suggest and I bought next to nothing in way of souvenirs. (compared to others). I would recommend this trip to serious adventure travelers but if you'll miss flush toilets it may not be your thing. I'll miss the truck and my truck family tons! Show more

  I will not join because the single supplement is too high compared to the rest of the trip, doesn't make sense for me so I don't consider this trip.
