Back in 1989, two guys from Melbourne, Australia by the names of Darrell and Manch set off on an adventure to the other side of the world. They travelled to Africa and without air conditioning on their modified truck, they filled it with supplies, some beer, a bunch of aviator sunglasses, and...

    Really beat my expectations of what I originally thought the camping was going to be. Tents and equipment were good and the crew on the tour were fab! The food was unbelievable! Not what I was expecting. Trips / days were well organised and everyone was helpful. I would recommend adding a few must to the list interms of headtorch was a must, used every night. Currency, defiantly take pula and USD I had to use the ATM at times which wasnt what I wanted. Zimbabwe boarder crossing is more expensive for Brits $55 they prefer cash. Overall the whole experience was ace, the overland truck and crew were are on the road family! Would recommend this tour. 10 days camping was plenty for me though outing tents up and down. Great experience!!

    For me the highlight was the Okavanga, being hosted by local villagers and being on our own little island. The Chobe was also very rewarding. Timings were excellent throughout - we never felt rushed but made the most of all daylight hours. A few suggestions: 1 The last overland truck journey I took involved a truck that had lighting all down the cooking side of the truck. This helped with the food preparation, eating and washing up. I would suggest adding such lighting on all your trucks as well. 2 Our guide explained options at Victoria Falls. I think a small map of the area could also have been usefully distributed. Also the fact that the Vctoria Falls hotel no longer serves afternoon teas to visitors did not seem to be known by our guides - so I wasted a short walk. 3 Communication prior to the journey was very poor. I repeatedly asked questions but either did not get answers or the answers came too late. Even the email inviting me to submit a review said it was `the last chance` but in fact it was the first!

    It was an excellent trip with Christopher, Thsepo and Mama Lizzy from Johannesburg to the Okavango Delta and Victoria Falls. A very well organized trip with great time management, very good care ( Thanks Mama Lizzy!!!) and a very good group cohesion during the tour :-). An unforgettable adventure - thank you all!
