Elizabeth
Asked on January 1st, 2017Could you provide more details on how the average 15 to 25 km of walk will be done each day?
- World ExpeditionsOperator•Written January 2017
During the day we take several breaks while walking, including a lunch break, to give everyone a chance to rest and re hydrate. However if you're worried about the heat you may want to look at one of our June, July, or August dates when the day time temperatures are lower. You may also be interested in our 9 or 6 day trip options where the daily walking distance is less.
