I will be traveling alone will I need to pay any extra fee? Also, can you guarantee that I will share a room with a woman? And can you guarantee that the tour will not be canceled?

Yes, there is a single supplement if you prefer to book a private single room. However, if you choose a twin‑share room, you will be paired with a traveler of the same gender, so as a solo female traveler you would share with another woman. Regarding departures, whether a tour is definite depends on the specific date you select. Once a departure reaches the minimum number of travelers required, it becomes a definite departure and will operate as scheduled. Please be advised that Contiki tours have an age restriction, requiring guests to be between 18-35 years old to participate.

This tour was on of the best weeks of my life - my cheeks were sore from so much smiling and laughing. I recommend budgeting for all of the optional extras as they were all fantastic (check the weather forecast before signing up for the marine safari) I don’t think it would have been quite the same without doing all the game drives - most people did almost all of them. The tour manager was super knowledgeable and was always happy to answer questions about South Africa or any of the animals we saw. He did his best to make sure we all had a great time. The accomodation was all great, and they all had a pool (don’t bring a big suitcase, the tents in Kruger were comfortable but very small!)Show more
