Our 4WDs (12+2 seater) are built to the latest safety standards with a built in safety shell and individual bucket seats with lap belts. Game viewing from these vehicles is extraordinary because with the sides rolled up, you feel part of the bush and incredibly close to the wildlife.Minibuses: Where road conditions allow, such as South Africa, Namibia and parts of Botswana we may also use minibuses. www.sunway-safaris.comCAMPING SAFARISCamping in the wilds of Africa is the way to go - it's an awesome experience to lie in your tent at night listening to the roar of lions or the haunting cry of a jackal! CAMPING - On safari you stay in designated camping sites in national parks, private reserves, private campsites and towns. Facilities are good with hot showers, electricity, clothes washing facilities and generally a bar and restaurant available. Some camps further north can be basic and have limited facilities and simple reed enclosures for showers but do have flush toilets!Sunway supplies all the camping equipment with the exception of your sleeping bag and pillow (available for rent). The canvas dome tents we use are large (2.2 x 2.2 x 1.8 metre), with built in insect nets. Putting them up or down takes only 5 minutes. We supply 5 cm thick mattresses, which are warm and comfortable. The camp chairs have a backrest and all cooking and eating utensils will also be provided. Food is kept in sealed containers and cooler boxes or freezers ensuring fresh and hygienic food preparation.In the Botswana national parks we generally use private wild campsites. On wild camping nights there are no facilities. Sunway will erect a bucket shower, with warm water from the fire, and a pit toilet tent. Wild camping is a true wilderness experience and we keep our impact on the environment to a minimum, taking out everything we take in. It's not all camping! On most safaris there will be a number of lodge or guest house accommodation nights. The facilities will be modest but clean and comfortable. Generally you will have an en suite twin room but sometimes you will be asked to share bathrooms with another room. Details are shown on each itinerary page.Single camping supplements:Booking solo - you do not pay any more for travelling as a single person. If you are travelling on your own, Sunway will automatically "tent" you with another same gender single person. If however you request a single tent, a limited number of these are available on each camping tour, with a price supplement. This will mean you have a single tent for the camping nights only, when in fixed accommodation you'll share with another person. Please note that there is a limit of 2 single tents available on each tour.South Africa, Lesotho & Swaziland pg 8 SA18 - Scenic Route - 18 daysCape Town to Victoria Falls pg 10 CV21 - Explorer - 21 daysBotswana pg 12 BT14 - Wildside - 14 daysBotswana pg 14 BK15 - Kalahari and Delta- 15 daysZambia, Malawi & Mozambique pg 16 LM21 - Trade Route - 21 daysNamibia & Botswana pg 18 NB21 - Desert and Delta - 21 daysZimbabwe & Botswana pg 20 ZB16 - Game Trail - 16 days |
