Our Safaris are for All!
If you are an independent traveller with a disability, mentally sound, medically fit, come and join us on our expeditions.
You need to provide a letter from your doctor stating your disability and the doctor’s acknowledgement that you are aware of the basic elements of “overland” travel – eg. where you will sit in a truck for periods of time travelling on a variety of roads (gravel, dirt and tarred roads); help with preparing and cooking of your meals.

It is compulsory for all travellers to have their own valid medical and travel insurance to cover overland travel including repatriation. The comany in South Africa operates a Public and Passenger liability insurance according to international standards.

This tour takes us through the Kruger National Park which is in the malaria area and therefore compulsory to take malaria prophylaxis. This is the biggest risk on tour but please consult your local Travel Clinic for up-to-date details.
