    Dear Ross - it is always a pleasure to receive a review such as yours. Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience and including the details of what to expect on this tour. The East African Explorer 21 day camping trip is certainly a firm favourite and I do believe those memories will last a lifetime. We hope that you'll consider visiting Africa again soon.

    Asked on February 12th, 2025

    How are the dome tents equipped, e.g., with sleeping bags, mattresses or pads, etc?

    Accommodation
    • Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperatorWritten February 2025

      The 2-man canvas tents have built in mosquito nets for the window and door and we provide the covered foam sleeping mattress (about 4cm thick). Clients will need to bring their own sleeping bag and pillow.

  • D

    Debra

    Asked on November 15th, 2024

    Is the tour confirmed if I book? Is there a supplement if I am travelling alone? Would I have to share the room/tent? I will have to check some emails from time to time. Is there some moments during the trip when I would be able to access them? Is there some specific documentations or visas I should be aware of?

    Visa
    • Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperatorWritten November 2024

      No there is no single supplement. Accommodation on tour is twin share, providing we have another solo traveller of the same sex for you to share with. If we dont then you will have a tent to yourself. Most campsites have internet access; some offer it free, other campsite make a small charge. Most clients require visa for Zimbabwe, and Tanzania and a Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate for Zanzibar but actual requirements depend on your nationality. Currently both Zimbabwe and Tanzanian visas can be obtained on tour. There is a mandatory insurance that all visitors must purchase online for Zanzibar, approximate cost USD 40.

    Cindy

    Asked on October 29th, 2023

    Do you have a rough idea of some optional recommended tours we can undertake during this trip and the approximate costs of these excursions? Do you have food options for vegetarians? Last but not least, does this tour provide typical African safari tour experiences, including seeing almost all wild life sanctuaries and animals like lions, tigers, African elephants, giraffes, rhinos, zebras, panthers, hippo, etc?

      TravelerWritten October 2023

      Further to my previous trailing message, I also need to know if there is any local payment portion in this tour in addition to CAD 4811 per traveler. I mean, there are no hidden costs (other than the cost of not including or excluding items in the tour like visas, gratuity and not included excursions, and additional stay and lunch), and we will be paying Canadian dollars 9622 for two travelers.

    • Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperatorWritten October 2023

      Optional Activities: please see the attached Tour Dossier for additional activity options and approximate costs. Dietary Requirements: we do cater to vegetarians, as we get this request quite often. The Tour Leader will be notified and will do his/her best to provide suitable dishes. Please note that tigers and panthers sadly do not live naturally in Africa.

    • Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperatorWritten October 2023

      There is indeed a Local Payment, known as the Adventure Pass. Every adventure tour has an Adventure Pass which is paid to your tour leader in Africa at the beginning of the tour. This is separate and in addition to the Tour Price, and covers selected park entries, activities and excursions along the way where payment goes directly to the supplier to ensure local suppliers benefit directly from the income. The current Adventure Pass is USD 1010.00 / person. This is to be paid in US Dollars cash directly to the Tour Leader.
