    Asked on June 12th, 2023

    what is the best option to deal with having a suitcase when i arrive in africa? Is there somewhere I can store it for the duration of the trip? Or is it normal for people to travel with a suitcase vs. backpack?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperator•Written June 2023

      We dont really have a weight limit - although of course the airlines do, usually 23kg max on an economy air ticket - our usual rule is if you can carry it then it's OK to bring. When you are on tour you get your own locker approx dimensions 700mm deep,x 550mm wide x 280mm high where you put your belongings. A soft sided bag or backpack is best.

      If LVI Airport in Zambia is not an option, you could do a cross-border transfer into Zimbabwe and fly out from Victoria Falls Airport (VFA). Alternatively you could continue with the tour through Zambia and Zimbabwe southward to end in Pretoria, South Africa.

    • Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperator•Written November 2017

      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.
