Why is there an age limit? I am currently 72 and my partner is 69. We are healthy and fit - mentally and physically. We love adventure travel. Would we be eligible?

Regarding passenger ages, we welcome all comers, and feel that a diverse range of nationalities, ages, backgrounds and outlooks helps to make our trips what they are. Our travellers usually range in ages from 18 to their mid to late 60's who have thoroughly enjoyed their chosen Oasis trip without experiencing any difficulties on either a physical or social level. We have had travellers on our trips in their 70's and early 80's, and they too have enjoyed their experiences, but we always try to make travellers aware of certain aspects of the trip, as we would never like to accept a booking or payment from anyone who was expecting a different style of trip or group. On our Overland & Ultimate expeditions participation is a major part of our trips structure – with a strong emphasis and expectation that all trip members will need to get involved with various tasks such as cooking and shopping for the group, putting up and taking down your own tent on a daily basis, and generally navigating your way around the truck and helping out with anything that arises on the trip. The major ask we have is that our trip participants possess such qualities as being fit and healthy, and to have an understanding of the style of trips we run, as well as the kind of clientele who usually travel with us. If the above appeals to you, fantastic. We look forward to you travelling with us.
