| What is Overlanding? |
| Travelling overland is great fun, but it can also be challenging and it is essential that everyone joins in! You are encouraged to help set up camp and to assist (usually on a roster basis) with day to day campsite chores such as shopping and cooking. But don’t worry – it isn’t all hard work! On the contrary, it’s a great way to meet the local people and to get the most from your African holiday. Most people find that the greater their involvement, the greater their enjoyment. |
| Is it for you? |
| Travelling overland is not a conventional holiday, and generally appeals to those between the ages of 18 to mid 40’s. Although people over that age who are active and “young at heart” can join and fit in well with the tour group. Overlanding is by nature an adventurous activity and things don’t always go according to plan! The roads can be rough, the climate arduous, and there can be lengthy delays. If you feel that this type of holiday is not what you are looking for, then may we suggest you consider one of the tours in the second half of the brochure – which are generally shorter and have a few added luxuries! |
| Why Acacia Overland? |
Itineraries |
| Acacia’s
overland tours have been carefully selected to show you the absolute best of Africa! On our tours visit the world famous parks – the Serengeti, the Okavango Delta, the Ngorongoro Crater, the Masai Mara, and Kruger – as well as the lesser known ones – Chobe, Etosha, and Lake Nakuru. Visit exotic Zanzibar – Africa’s ‘spice island’ with its magnificent Indian Ocean beaches, trek into the mountain jungles of Uganda to search for elusive gorillas, and stand and wonder at the awesome power of Victoria Falls. We have also included many cultural experiences, something often missed out by other overland tour companies. |
| Our Safari Vehicles |
| Our young fleet of specially customised vehicles are superbly designed for African conditions. Rugged, reliable and durable yet surprisingly comfortable, with 24 padded seats allowing ample room for storage, comfort and safety. The sliding windows are ideal for game viewing yet high enough for added security. A refrigerator / freezer, coolbox, stereo, safe, camp oven, reference library, internal & external lighting, first aid kit, personal lockers and luggage racks are standard features of each vehicle. |
| Our Tour Leaders |
| Our overland tours have a minimum of two crew who are chosen for their leadership qualities, people skills, local knowledge, and – perhaps most important of all – a passion for Africa. All crew undergo extensive training and receive continual feedback on their performance. They will ensure that your holiday in Africa is enjoyable and safe. We are very proud of the fact that we consistently receive very positive feedback from passengers praising our crew’s abilities and attitude. |
| Your Fellow Passengers |
| Your fellow passengers come from a variety of backgrounds – usually a mixture of British, Australian, New Zealanders, European and North American – and are generally between the ages of 20 and 45. Some are well travelled, others are new to the world of travel. Most come as individuals, while others book with friends. Either way, you will find yourself amongst new found friends from all over the world. |
