    Accommodation
    Group size
    Meals
    • Encounters TravelOperator•Written August 2026

      This trip is available as camping or accommodated. When you choose the accommodated option, your nights will be spent in ensuite chalets. bungalows and permanent tented camps.

      Meals are prepared by the crew. If you only eat vegetarian food, they will prepare vegetarian dishes for breakfasts, lunches and dinners.

      The maximum group size on this trip is 20 people.

  • C

    Carrie

    Asked on May 14th, 2026

    I suffer from sleep apnea and need to use an electrical device during the night. Is electricity available at the camp/ lodges etc during the trip?

    Accommodation
    • Encounters TravelOperator•Written May 2026

      With the camping I would have to check if an extension and plug could be provided for you but definitely with the accommodated lodge option there will be access to charging sockets.

  • T

    Tina

    Asked on May 7th, 2026

    We want a lodge or bungalow or tented camp with own bathroom, not camping. Is it possible to book only the first 6 nights? We don't want to go to Nata and would like to get off in Maun on the way back from Kwai and end the holiday in a high-quality lodge in Okavango before flying to Victoria Falls. What is the price?

    Accommodation
    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Encounters TravelOperator•Written May 2026

      You can choose between basic camping or a bed in lodge, luxury en suite tent with bed. The price for accommodation in lodges for the 30th June tour would be EUR 3000 per person. It will include: 9 nights accommodation in hotels/lodges/guesthouses, all transport on a fully equipped 25-seat expedition vehicle, all included highlights as mentioned in the itinerary, 2 truck crew (driver/guide plus assistant/cook), local guides for sightseeing tours and activities as per the itinerary, meals: 9 breakfasts, 9 lunches, 7 dinners. Unfortunately we can't tailor a group tour to make it any shorter for you.

    • T

      Tina

      Traveler•Written May 2026

      June 19th is too early. Since the itinerary passes back through Maun on the way to Nata anyway, I don't see why you cannot offer the first part of the trip. You would simply need to drop us off in Maun. An alternative would be to end the trip at Khwai Tented Camp.

    • Encounters TravelOperator•Written May 2026

      We could do that but there would be no discount on the tour price as you would still need to be taking a seat/space from the whole trip as these are group tours. I can also quote you for this tour privately with your preferred itinerary but the price would be a lot more expensive.

    • T

      Tina

      Traveler•Written May 2026

      You are using a 26-seater vehicle, so I cannot imagine that it will be fully occupied. If the three camps would be skipped, you would not have to pay for them; therefore, at the very least, a price reduction covering those three overnight stays should be possible. Are you suggesting a private tour using a smaller vehicle, but with a driver who also serves as the guide? That would be an option, provided the price is reasonable.

    • Encounters TravelOperator•Written May 2026

      The truck has 24 seats actually but 4 at the front are around a table for socialising so only 20 maximum in the group. The trip often runs full and sometimes we can still have seats but the hotels can be fully booked. We do still have 6 spaces on the truck left for this tour but I would need to check with each hotel before I can confirm space. The private price will be a lot more than for a group tour usually at least 3 x more as the costs of the driver/guide and vehicle are not being shared between a group.

    • T

      Tina

      Traveler•Written May 2026

      Would the missed lodge stay (3 nights) result in a price reduction? A private tour is of interest, but an extra of EUR 2,000 per person would be completely excessive. On a private tour, we would also want to drive at a slower pace and make better, longer stops. Could you please find out which vehicle would be used for this route and at what price? The original option—with a reduced price due to the omission of the 3 nights—remains our preferred choice.

    • Encounters TravelOperator•Written May 2026

      I have asked about the reduction in price for the 3 days and also checked with hotel availability for that departure. Southern Africa is a lot more expensive and Kenya & Tanzania privately are incredibly expensive these days too especially with the fuel crisis, prices have soared.

    • Encounters TravelOperator•Written May 2026

      We can drop you in Maun on Day 7 of the tour and therefore offer a discount of -EUR 280 per person.

    Asked on March 10th, 2026

    When will your dates for May 2027 be posted?

    Price / Availability
    • Encounters TravelOperator•Written March 2026

      Unfortunately our Namibia team don't release next years pricing until August of the previous year so we will not know until August 2026 what our prices and dates will be for 2027.

    Jade

    Asked on March 4th, 2026

    What is the difference between camping double room (2450 euros) and accommodated double room (3000 euros)?

    Accommodation
    Price / Availability
    • Encounters TravelOperator•Written March 2026

      This trip is operated in one of our speciall designed expedition vehicles. Up to 24 travellers join these departures and some will choose the camping option, others the accommodated option. The difference then is that those choosing to camp will set up the tents where the truck parks for the night, and those in the accommodation will have an ensuite room at each location, whether a hotel room, bungalo or permanent tent. Your meals will still be prepared and served communal style together as a group.

    • J

      Jade

      Traveler•Written March 2026

      Could you please provide a description for camping accommodation?

    • Encounters TravelOperator•Written March 2026

      When choosing the camping option, we provide a 2-person tent and a sleeping mat. You'd bring your own sleeping bag, pillow etc. The crew will help set up the tents daily, but would ask your help to break down camp while they prepare breakfasts. Shared bathroom facilities at campsites will include toilets and showers.

    • Encounters TravelOperator•Written February 2026

      We have a group departure on the 10th March and then another on the 24th March. The price displayed on Tour Radar is the camping price. If you are looking for the accommodated price, that will be US$3295 per person, 2 per room.

    Operator
    Tour Details
    • Encounters TravelOperator•Written November 2025

      We provide two options for the accommodation on this Overland tour: Camping at $2690 per person and Accommodated at $3295 per person. Camping includes easily erected tents and camping mattresses. Accommodated uses 2 to 4-star hotels, lodges and camps with majority of rooms en-suite.

    • Encounters TravelOperator•Written November 2025

      Regarding 900+ that is a question for Tour Radar as you will have seen that on this website. Our other reviews don't always specify which trip they did but you can find them via Trip advisor. We do ask our customers to write reviews but we do struggle to get them to do so and the number of people taking the time to write them is only decreasing.

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • Encounters TravelOperator•Written September 2025

      The maximum group size is 24 and we offer this trip at two levels which are accommodated and camping. The trip includes visits to several national parks. We can't guarantee specific amimal sighting, but there is a chance of seeing the big 5 in some of these national parks. You'd need to spend at least 1 night in Windhoek before the tour start date, so you'd fly into Windhoek, Namibia. Then, fly out of Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.

      Dave

      Traveler•Written September 2025

      Can you tell me the diference in accommodations to review with them? Do you have another tour you would recommend if the teenager would not be allowed.

    • Encounters TravelOperator•Written September 2025

      The thirteen year old will likely be allowed. We provide two options for the accommodation on this Overland tour, both available on the trip. Camping uses easily erected tents and camping mattresses. Accommodated option uses good quality hotels, lodges and camps rated at the local 2 to 4-star level. The accommodated option is C$4890 per person for the July-Sep 2026 dates, and the camping option is C$3990 per person.

    • D

      Dave

      Traveler•Written September 2025

      Not sure if this will work for them - travelling from Canada to bring a sleeping bag and or pillow may be difficult. Also what is the washroom situation like for the camping portion.

    • Encounters TravelOperator•Written September 2025

      We stay at campsites that have shared bathroom and shower facilities, so they won't go a night without a shower. Having said that, July to September is winter season in the region and the campers will need to wrap up warm at night.

    • D

      Dave

      Traveler•Written September 2025

      Do you have a similar tour that perhaps is a couple days shorter that would drop the pricing so it is more within their budget. Also if we book 11 people any TC on it (discount etc).
