Can I rent the sleeping bag from you or is it absolutely necessary to bring one from here?

We do not rent out sleeping bags, sorry. You need to bring your own from home.

could you please let me know approx. arrival time in Cape town on the last day of the tour?

The tour can arrive anytime between 3-6pm. We strongly advise that clients only plan to fly out the following day.

What time does this tour depart on Day 1?

The tour leaves Windhoek early on day 1 (10Oct) - around 08h00...and so we would strongly recommend you plan to arrive in Windhoek at least 1 day before.

What is the risk of this tour being canceled for these dates? Why am I asking this? I will buy my flight ticket after making a tour reservation, but unfortunately I do not have the chance to change it after purchasing the ticket. So in any case, I cannot cancel the ticket after purchasing it. My question is, will this tour be guaranteed between 24.04.2025 - 04.05.2025?

The 24 April tour is available to book, it is not yet guaranteed. A tour of this nature requires a minimum of 6 passengers in order to be guaranteed to run. Currently the 24 April tour date has no other passengers booked. Given the time frame we are hopeful that interest will pick up in the next couple of months but it is too early to tell. Should the tour not reach minimum numbers we will make a decision to cancel the tour, this decision will be made 8 weeks prior to departure date. We do suggest clients to wait until their tour date has been guaranteed before booking flights.

Looking at 11-day Namibia to Cape Town tour for me, my husband and our 12-year old son. The tour age looks like is from 18 years old, our son is 12, would it be ok for him to travel with 2 of us? Also, what would be the price for him and will he be able to sleep in our tent or we'll have to have 2 tents between 3 of us?

Unfortunately the Adventure-style tour age requirement is 18yrs and above. We do offer Small Group Safaris that allows for children but the tour does not go to Namibia, rather it goes to South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana.

How many people in the tour group? Best time of year to go? Is April a good month?

We typically receive many bookings within 4-5 months of a departure. Most people would say the ideal time for southern Africa is southern winter/spring (Jul/Aug/Sep) but the trip runs year round and lots of people do travel in Feb/Mar/April.

Would it be possible for me to join your currently running tour on the second half from Swakopmund to Cape Town till the 25th of May? I am currently in Walvis Bay/Swakopmund and would like to see Sossusvlei, FishRiver Canyon, Namibias South and Cape Town.

The only Adventure tour on the road running at this time is the Desert Tracker tour which started in Cape Town and will end in Livingstone (heading northbound). Sadly the southbound tour did not gain enough interest and we had no bookings for it. We are unable to assist in this case.

Would you recommend a malaria protection for the Etosha National Park in Namibia? What type of tents will we be using during camping?

We do recommend Malaria protection for the time spent in Etosha. We strongly recommend seeking professional medical advice from your doctor for appropriate anti-malarial tablets. The tents are 2-man canvas dome tents with built-in mosquito netting. We recommend clients also travel with anti-mosquito spray or citronella spray for additional protection.

Would it be guaranteed that the tour will be operated or is it still unsure due to a minimum number of travelers? What time does the tour start in Windhoek on the 17th?

The February tours are not available. We have recently guaranteed a number of tours and departures to operate from May. If you are able to defer travel until then we would be pleased to help.

What is the Adventure Pass?

Every Acacia Overland tour has an Adventure Pass which is paid to your tour leader in Africa at the beginning of the tour (or pre-paid by arrangement prior to your 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.

We had an absolutely incredible trip through Namibia down to Cape Town with Acacia. Everything exceeded expectations and our tour guide Phillele and driver Khumbu made it even more special with their warmth and positivity. There were moments when the heat and dust of the desert became intense, but it's all worth it to see the incredible sights, especially Etosha National Park with all the amazing wildlife.Show more

Moyenda is not only a seasoned professional but a genuinely kind and fun person. I don't think I've EVER come across somebody as patient, hardworking and fun loving as him. His job is SO hard, but he nurtures authentic relationships between himself, the guests, the camp workers/owners and our incredible driver 'Masai'. His approach and avid professionalism harnesses a community atmosphere and his local knowledge is rivaled by none. This guy is the best in the business. Seriously. I'm so glad I got him on the tour and if I do further Acacia Africa trips I'll be asking after him and his teammate MasaiShow more
