What are the optional activities and the associated costs? What it says here is very vague.

I have attached the tour dossier of our 29-day Kruger & Victoria Falls to Serengeti (Accommodated) adventure tour. It is a detailed day to day itinerary of the tour and gives you handy tips and information. To help budget, we have also included approximate prices for the optional activities/excursions available on the tour.

Can dietary requirements be accommodated on the tour?

Dietary needs can be accommodated with prior notification to ensure appropriate meals are available throughout the tour.

How can I arrange room sharing during the tour?

You can request to share a room with another traveler by providing their name at the time of booking to ensure arrangements.

Are transfers available from the airport to the tour's starting point?

Yes, transfers can be arranged from the airport to the starting hotel of the tour. Details and costs can be found in the pre-departure information sent upon booking confirmation.

Are there any additional fees travelers should be aware of?

Travelers should budget for personal items, drinks, and some meals. While game park fees are included in the Adventure Pass, visas and health precautions are separate expenses.

What options are available if I cannot obtain a visa on time?

Options include changing to a shorter tour or deferring to a later date. If none of these are suitable, the booking can be canceled with your deposit held for future use.

What is the additional payment for please?

Every adventure tour has an Adventure Pass (Local Payment) which is paid to your tour leader in Africa at the beginning of the tour (in USD Cash 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. It covers: Matobo National Park, Open Vehicle Game Drive and Wilderness Walk with Resident Guide, South Luangwa National Park, Open Vehicle Game Drive with Resident Guide, and Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater Excursion in Purpose Built Safari Vehicles, Game Drives with Resident Guide.

How much does it cost for airport transfers at the start of the tour?

We recommend arriving at least a day before the tour starts to manage any potential delays. Airport transfers and pre/post tour accommodation can be booked at designated points at an additional cost.

What payments are accepted for the Adventure Pass?

The Adventure Pass must be paid in USD cash directly to the tour guide on the first day or at the pre-departure meeting. It covers various activities and park entries.

My friend and I are Chinese citizens and are really interested in joining the tour. We wonder if it's possible for you to come up with an invitation or some sort when we are applying for our South Africa visa? I heard that it may be hard for us to get a visa but it'd be a lot easier if there's a letter from a local tour company.

We can assist with Visa Letters once you have booked a tour and the booking is confirmed.

From J'Burg all the way to Nairobi was a fantastic journey with Acacia. I have had the best time throughout the 30 days on this overland trip. Pete, the tour guide is awesome and well-organised. Francis, the driver is the super funny and friendly. They've really made the trip to another level. What's more is their cooking, oh my god, we are so spoiled. When I have a chance, I will definitely jump on another overland truck with Acacia.Show more

The itinerary for the African safari planed by Mama Liz made my trip a mesmerizing experience as I was able to enjoy all the beauty of the wild while she cared for all the big and little details that no one is prepared for during a trip like this. She is an amazing, truly caring and knowledgeable tour guide. I have recomended her to other people and would definitely do another trip guided by Mama Liz!Show more
