Stolen Moments in East Africa


Travelling overland is affordable, exciting and the only way to get in touch with the real Africa. It’s about exploring by road and immersing yourself in the culture and environment. While The African Touch has designed its tours with the mature traveller in mind, you will be travelling and living off a specially-converted truck. Travellers need to be physically active and adaptable.


CAMPING
The holiday is primarily a camping experience as sleeping under the African night sky is a special part of the African adventure. The option to upgrade to the equivalent of a lodge or motel will be available on all but nine nights which will be spent in tourist accommodation. The majority of the campsites are well-equipped with power, water and security.

CREW
The African Touch wants you to relax at the end of your action-packed days which is why they travel with four crew. Karoma and Tasha are responsible for the day-to-day running of the tour and will keep you informed daily on all requirements, activities and facilities. . Along the way you’ll shop at markets where you’ll mix with locals and have the opportunity to try your hand at bartering the African way. The cook and helper will be there to assist you plus they will help set up camp.

FOOD
Three meals a day are provided whilst camping. Cooking is done over a campfire or gas cooker by the cook and helper. Many are surprised at the quality of food prepared and the generous helpings. Hygiene is very important and strict routines are followed to keep you healthy and happy. Special diets can be catered for – let African Touch know about your dietary requirements in advance.
