    Hi Abdol, thank you for sharing your experience with us on our Experience Southern Africa trip! The long drives on our Overland Africa tours are required to cover the distance between some spectacular sites we visit on the trips. Without the drives, we would be limiting what we see on the tours. Since many of the places we visit are quite small, there are limited transportation (flights, and high-speed train), so overland truck is the only way we are able to make the journey.

    Cheryl

    Asked on December 4th, 2025

    Is there an option for helicopter flight over Victoria Falls?

    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten December 2025

      On Day 8 you will have a full free day in Vic Falls until 6pm where there will be another Welcome meeting for some new group members who will be joining on for the second half of the tour. This would be the best day to arrange your helicopter flight over Vic Falls. If you are interested in the optional helicopter flight (12 minutes or 25 minutes), Intrepid only endorses Zambezi Helicopter co CAA Zimbabwe. This can be pre-booked by your prior to your trip or the leader can assist you with booking this once in destination but it is subject to availability.

      Is there border check point in every country we enter to check visa and vaccinations?

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten November 2025

      This trip comes with a mix of camping and lodge stays. During the camping nights, our crew will set everything up for you — tents, sleeping mats, and sleeping bags. Towels and toiletries aren't included, so it's best to bring your own.

      We also recommend bringing a reusable water bottle (at least 1 litre). Our vehicles carry large tanks of treated water, so you can refill your bottle daily.

      Regarding borders - yes, there will be a visa checkpoint at each crossing.

      Accommodation & Bed Types
      This trip includes a mix of camping, permanent tents, and lodge/hotel stays. Here's a quick breakdown:

      Hotel (2 nights) – Standard twin-share rooms, beds vary by property but are typical hotel-style beds.

      Lodge (1 night) – Comfortable lodge rooms with proper beds.

      Meru Tent (1 night) – Large walk-in canvas tents with camp beds.

      Permanent Tented Overland Camp (2 nights) – Pre-set tents with camp beds and shared facilities.

      Basic Camping with no facilities (2 nights) – Dome tents + mats + sleeping bags; very simple overnight stops.

      For all camping nights, tents, sleeping mats, and sleeping bags are provided, and the crew handle the setup for you.
      If a campsite has upgrade options, you may be able to purchase a room locally (usually USD 60–120 per twin room per night), but this cannot be pre-booked.

      Meals Included
      Yes — the included meals are prepared by your crew chef and camp team during camping sections. You'll eat a variety of fresh, hearty meals such as:

      Breakfast: toast, spreads, cereal, eggs or pancakes, tea/coffee

      Lunch: sandwiches with salad fillings, fruit

      Dinner: BBQs, rice dishes, pasta dishes, and sometimes local favourites like ugali & stew

      On non-camping nights, you're free to choose your own meals.
      If you have dietary requirements, let me know so I can add it to your booking — and please remind your crew at the welcome meeting.

      Vaccinations
      Here's a simple overview, but please make sure to check with your doctor for personalised medical advice:

      Required (depending on travel route):

      Yellow Fever – Mandatory if arriving from a Yellow Fever risk country (e.g., Kenya). You may be asked to show your vaccination certificate at borders and even when returning home.

      Recommended:

      Malaria prevention medication – May be advised depending on your itinerary. (Mosquito protection is essential.)

      Typhoid – Recommended for travel in Zimbabwe.

      Routine travel vaccines such as Tetanus, Hep A, Hep B — your doctor will advise.

      Dengue – No vaccine required; just mosquito protection.

      If you develop fever-like symptoms during or after the trip, it's important to seek medical attention immediately.
