Is the travel company able to book the flights for me if I paid them additional? They would have more experience with it. The disconcerting part is I think there is a long layover in Africa after Heathrow flight in.

I am wondering if we should arrive a day early and stay a day later, and if so, what are the lodging options, please? Thanks. I will be flying in and out of Boston.

Do we bring our own sleeping bags? Are running shoes sufficient or do we need light hiking boots? Do you recommend sandals while travelling and in camp? Do you need local currencies -- are there opportunities to exchange US$ for local currencies if needed? Do you have a list of admission prices for excursions during the trip? I am allergic to tomatoes and peanuts -- you can cook with them as long as you separate out a portion for me before you add the tomatoes or peanuts, or you can make a little side dish for me.

You can bring your own sleeping bag if you prefer we recommend a 3-4 season sleeping bag because it can get very cold at night in winter months in desert and mountainous regions. Sleeping bags are also available for hire (if pre-booked). Please reach out to us at least 14 days prior to departure, if you wish to hire one. As this trip includes camping and/or bush walking we highly recommend that you take a pair of comfortable, closed-in walking shoes. Closed-in shoes will help to protect your feet from cuts and scratches when walking through bush/grass-lands, and will also act as a barrier protection in rare cases against bites or stings from dangerous animals in this environment. There will be opportunities to exchange money in the larger cities, you would just need to speak with your guide and they will plan accordingly.

Do we need visas to enter any of the countries? What are the distances and hours of travel on the long travel days? What type of mattresses are provided? Which trip has the most space: May 4 to 20 or May 18 to June 3?

As a Canadian passport holder you will need a visa for some of the countries visited on this itinerary. Visa's are the responsibility of the traveler to check and obtain. We will provide any supporting documents needed like Hotel/Itinerary information & letter of invitation. Accommodation on this trip is mainly in two-person canvas dome tents with camping mattresses supplied. Both our 04MAY & 18MAY 2025 departures have roughly the same amount of travelers booked. The 18MAY has the most space but only by 1.

Are there any extra services available during the tour?

Optional services such as pre/post accommodation or airport transfers can be arranged, subject to availability.

Can visas be obtained on arrival for the countries visited on this tour?

Many countries on this tour do offer visas on arrival, but it is best to confirm specific requirements prior to travel.

Is it possible to arrange airport transfers for the tour?

Yes, arrival and departure airport transfers can be arranged upon request.

What measures should I take regarding my health and safety while traveling?

Always check the latest travel advisories from your government and ensure your travel insurance covers all aspects of your itinerary. Utilize a neck wallet or money belt for safekeeping of valuables.

What if I need a visa invitation or covering letter?

A letter of invitation or hotel confirmation for visa application can be provided upon request.

What is the age requirement for the tour?

The tour is open to all travelers aged 15 and above.

Are bathroom facilities available at the campsites?

Campsites do have facilities, but they are typically more basic than those found in Western countries.

Victoria Falls was great but only because I purchased an extra visit to the Devil's pool and to a cruise on the zambezi. TourRadar provided nothing but tent lodging. It was a safari only for 3 days when we did game drives and saw the animals. Majority of time were very long drives on very bad dirt roads with horrendous traffic jams. I still enjoyed this unique and demanding experience which I was able to handle even at my age of 86.Show more

Max, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us on your recent trip to East Africa. We are sorry to hear that you found the lodging to be challenging and that the itinerary did not allow for more game drives or experiences outside of the vehicle. While we are happy to hear that you still enjoyed the trip, someone from the Customer Care team will be reaching out to you to discuss any improvements that may need to be made to the tour.

This was an excellent trip. We had great encounters, up close, with the wild life and now have our own video documentaries. Momba was an excellent leader who knew the history, geography, culture and politics of the countries which led to very interesting discussions and a better understanding of Africa. We were pleased that Charlie and Sam, the cook and driver were also cheerfully willing to discuss Africa with us. We highly recommend this tour to others.Show more

- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written August 2025

  Traveler•Written August 2025
  Hi, I have looked into the airfare. Question: what happens if a flight is delayed or one misses their flight? How would we catch back up on tour?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written August 2025
  If your flight is delayed but you are still able to join on Day 1, we can request the tour leader to leave instructions for you at the hotel desk so you can catch up with the group later. If you arrive on Day 2, you may still be able to join the group depending on your arrival time. In case you need to cancel due to flight cancellations and cannot find an alternate flight, the full cost (100%) will be charged. However, we can provide an insurance letter so you can claim the cost from your insurance provider.

  Traveler•Written August 2025
  Ok, how often are flights delayed? Do you know? Any tips with booking flights?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written September 2025
  It's hard to say exactly how often flights get delayed, as it can really vary. A few tips though, leave plenty of time between connections, keep an eye on airline updates, and booking flexible tickets can save some stress if plans change.
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written September 2025
  We do not handle flight bookings or inquiries. Travelers are required to make their own flight arrangements, including any layovers or connections. If you need guidance on trip starting time or airports for your trip, we'd be happy to provide that information to assist your planning.
