  • L

    Lori

    Asked on June 22nd, 2025

    I'm very keen to make the Vic Falls/Cape Town trip but I'm confused about age restrictions: on TourRadar's site it says age range 18 - 39, but further on it says up to age 90. I'm a very fit 69.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten June 2025

      Sadly the Southern Africa Southbound: Dunes, Deltas & Falls has a strict limit of 18-39 years old at the time of travel, but an alternative tour you can look at is the Cape Town to Victoria Falls Overland Safari. Please note it will still be camping accommodation used majority during this tour.

  • E

    Edward

    Asked on June 5th, 2025

    Is there any discount for groups up to 10 people?

    Group size
    Price / Availability
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten June 2025

      Unfortunately, it would be expensive to operate this particular tour privately for 10 travellers as we need a minimum of 18 people to run the tour at the original website rate, this means pricing for 10 travellers would be based on this minimum.

  • J

    José Luis

    Asked on March 18th, 2025

    Can I find out more about visa requirements for the tour?

    Visa
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten March 2025

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten March 2025

      This specific tour is for travellers between the ages of 18-39. We do have a Classic version called Victoria Falls to Cape Town Overland Safari which is identical itinerary but open to all ages.

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      My husband and I have 21 days (including flight from Canada). Our prime goal is to see the animals but also want to explore what we can of the landscape and people. WE ARE ON A BUDGET. Can you suggest one or more tours that would accommodate our needs?

    Kristen

    Asked on January 31st, 2025

    Is there options to choose Namibia and Botswana tours only, as I need to take leave from work and have limited number of leave. 21 days is too long for me.

    Other
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2025

      Yes we do have some tours that only do these destinations. You can select the destination and duration on the Tour Radar site, using the filters on the left hand side of the page. Some alternatives would be: Botswana & Victoria Falls Adventure or Namibia to Victoria Falls Overland Safari.

  • V

    Vanessa

    Asked on January 7th, 2025

    Can we find flights to arrive by Livingston instead of Victoria Falls? How can we get to the camp site from Livingston airport? How long does it take and what is the cost? Can you also explain the camp facility, whether it is glamping with bathroom and shower in the unit, or not?

    Accommodation
    Flights / Transfers
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2025

      We don't offer a transfer from Livingstone but you could always arrange that in advance locally, alternatively find a connecting flight to Victoria Falls. The drive itself is very short, around 30 minutes excluding any border crossing delays.
