Overland Tour Companies
The tour companies work with experience guides and have the knowledge to make sure your trip is an incredible adventure. They will provide the vehicles, guides, drivers, cooks and essential camping equipment. The Tour Companies and their guides will look after you in Africa. They will plan the route with a strict schedule, which is very important to understand, as you will be travelling as a group ‘New Family’ as guides like to call it. The group or ‘New family’ needs to work together on the tour, which means move as a team, be flexible, be patient as Africa can be unpredictable , look after fellow passengers and most important bring the right attitude.
Some tips for your tour!
- When booking your tour make sure you find out what the local payment amount is. Tour companies advertise a price for the tour, which does not always include the local payment.In some cases, the ‘local payments’ are paid to the tour guide on the day of departure.
- Tour companies should have a list of extra activities, which you can do along the route. The Overland Tour Company does not pay for these extra activities and it will help you plan your budget for the tour. Extra activities can include sky diving, river rafting, extra game drives, quad biking, bungee jumping etc.
- Bring a light sheet or something to put on your mattress (camping tour during cold season) which will help reduce the cold coming up from the ground.
- Make sure you do not over pack for the tour as the vehicles have limited space. You will have opportunities to wash your cloths along the way.
- Be realistic in your expectations in terms of what you book for and what you get. If you book the most affordable tour ‘budget’ do not expect 5 star holiday.
