Camping Accommodation

We provide spacious, easily-erectible 2 person A-frame or dome tents with sewn-in ground sheets and fly sheet. In Africa we stay at a combination of campsites and bush/desert camps. Campsites range from well-established camps with an array of facilities that sometimes includes a bar, mini-mart or even a pool to more basic camps with few facilities and cold showers. Dependent upon our day-to-day itinerary, at times we will bush camp. That is to say, when we can’t travel any further or there is no permanent campsite in the vicinity, we will locate a suitable place and pitch camp. Bush camping on occasion allows us to return to the great outdoors and really be at one with nature. Bush camping rates highly amongst our expedition travellers. Start of Camping expedition For expeditions (not bolt-ons) we classify day 1 as an arrival day. For these trips we also include your airport arrival transfer and the first nights accommodation at our pre-expedition hotel, hostel or campsite (included as part of the local payment you make on day one).
