What kind of level of camping would we be having? Are we sleeping in tents and on beds or cots? How much Safari time would we have? Are the farm houses well equipped with showers and different bedrooms with the travelling partner?

The tour proceeds with both camping and accommodated clients - travelling together in the same vehicle and split up only to sleep. With camping, we provide all camping equipment (tents, catering and cooking equipment, camp stools etc) except a sleeping bag which you must bring (and a pillow if you want one). We use easy to pitch two-person dome tents, and covered foam sleeping mattresses. Accommodation is two to a tent with another client of the same sex (if we have no other solo travellers of the same sex then you would have your own tent). Meals are prepared by and within the group, with the tour leader taking the lead. If you choose the Accommodated tour properties are reasonable tourist class, twin share rooms, most with private bathroom, although there are 2 nights where accommodated clients camp. We carry a maximum of 18 clients plus two leader/drivers; although a more typical loading is 10-15 people.

Is this trip confirmed to this date and approximately how many people will be? What type of vehicle will be used for ground transport - bus, van, truck, 4x4 car?

The tour operates in a converted Safari Truck, maximum 18 passengers, plus 2 Acacia driver/guides. In the Serengeti/Ngorongoro we use smaller 4x4 safari vehicles (Range Rovers or similar). We provide all camping equipment except a sleeping bag. Visa requirements vary depending on your nationality but most people require a visa for Kenya (apply online) and Tanzania (buy on arrival) as well as a Yellow Fever vaccination certificate.

Is purchasing an Adventure Pass compulsory for this tour?

No the Adventure Pass is not mandatory. The main point about the AP is that it budgets for the 2 night excursion to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. (We have some clients have visited the Serengeti before and do not wish to pay to go again). If you dont pay the AP, you will remain in Arusha for the 2 nights and have the time at leisure to choose other options or simply to rest and relax.

Can someone older than 40 do the 21 day south east adventure camping as it states 18-39 but I'd like to do this one and I'm 45

the age figures are there more as a guide than strict rule. so yes you would be welcome.

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.

Overpriced and false advertising about the age limit resulted in a poor overall experience. The tour itinerary and the leader/driver were excellent and would get 5 stars however Acacia advertise these tours as exclusively for people 18-39 and this simply wasn't the case. When we arrived half the tour group were elderly (well into their 60's and 70's) and that meant straight away the group was divided into the young and the old. This also meant that I was partnered with an old man in my accommodation who snored so loudly it was completely impossible to sleep, even with ear plugs. This meant I was left with no choice but to pay more money to upgrade my accommodation to a single room and this simply blew out the cost of this holiday. I paid approximately $1400 more for the accommodated version of this tour so i could ensure i got a decent night sleep, but then had to pay another $500 or so to upgrade during the tour for my own room. If I had been on the camping version of the trip to start with I would have likely saved close to $1000.Show more

Reply from: Acacia Adventure Holidays
Dear William, Thank you for your review of our 21-day Serengeti to Victoria Falls Adventure Accommodated Tour. We are always grateful for the feedback. I regret any misunderstanding about our tours, especially from someone who has travelled with us before. Adventure Tours are designed for those between 18 and 40 and most clients fall within that age group. However, this is a guideline, not a rule. Being young at heart and willing to cooperate with others and participate in group activities have always been more important and I believe our tour information reflects this. For example, the 2023 Pre-Departure Information which was shared with you together with other travel documents says this: Your Fellow Travellers: ‘Adventure Tours’ travellers come from all over the world and from all walks of life. As a guide the majority of clients will usually fall between the ages of 18 and 39, but this is not a strict limit. Minimum age 18.’ Your previous Acacia tour had one person over 40 in a group of 11 clients. This group had 12 clients from Nairobi to Dar es Salaam, seven were aged 18 – 39, and five over 40 (including one over 70 who was travelling with his son). From Dar to Vic Falls there were 15 clients: 10 were under 39, five over 40. Clearly the group had a wide age range but a majority under 40 nevertheless. I understand frustrations with not being able to get a good night’s sleep irrespective of the cause. Joining a group tour obviously entails some uncertainty as to who you share with and calls for compromise and understanding on all. However clearly an issue arose, and you were right to speak to your tour leader (Crispen). I respect the decision you made and am pleased Crispen was able to help, naturally there was a cost because group bookings were twin share. On a more positive note, thank you again for taking the time to give us your feedback and for what you say about the itinerary. Thank you also for your very positive ratings for Crispen and Harmony. Crew are very proud of their client record, and each has been informed of what you have said. Kind regards, Arno Delport Manager

Starting this trip, I was a little worried about how I would be solo travelling in Africa. Moyenda was an amazing tour guide who is full of information and if he doesn’t know the answer to your question he’ll be sure to find out. He is very easy going with getting to know everyone and making sure we have the best trip possible. My trip wouldn’t have been the same without Moyenda!Show more
