Accommodation & meals

Accommodation

8 nights of accommodation are included on this trip. On this trip you will spend 2 nights camping, 1 night in a basic hotel (twin share or single) and 5 nights in multishare accommodation. Multi-share hostels are usually single-sex rooms of around 4-6 people. 

While camping, you will stay at designated campsites in national parks and outside towns. Facilities can be basic, but there are usually restaurants/bars, washing facilities, flush toilets, basic showers and occasionally telephones at campsites. Warm water is usually available but cannot be guaranteed. You will be expected to pitch your own tents, but they only take a few minutes to put up!

The campsite in the Serengeti National Park is very basic, with no electricity, simple bathing facilities (no showers) and squat toilets. While camping at the Ngorongoro Crater rim, there is limited electricity, occasionally warm showers, and seated and squat flushing toilets. Campsites at the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater are open and wildlife can wander into the area, but the camps are perfectly safe.

Most camping equipment is supplied, including camp mattresses, 2 person dome tents, camp chairs and cooking equipment. Please note that you will need to bring your own sleeping bag (suitable for all temperatures) and a travel pillow. We also recommend you bring a torch with you.

A note on Overlanding: Overlanding is a real adventure and one of the best, most authentic ways to discover Africa, but it can also be a challenge! Travelling overland in Africa is not always predictable so you should be prepared to “expect the unexpected’ and bring your sense of adventure!

Meals

8 breakfasts, 3 lunches and 3 dinners are included.You will be expected to muck in with meal preparation and washing up while camping, and your guide will arrange a rota for this while you are on the road. Vegetarian meals and other dietary requirements can be catered for if you let us know in advance of travel.
