12 Day Budget Namibia (RADR01)
Participation
safari: Assistance required with camp chores
Accommodation:
In tents accommodating two adults. Alternatively we utilize
Inns, log cabins, bungalows and rondavels, even under the
stars if desired. Thin sleeping mats are provided, but clients
may bring inflatable mattresses for further comfort. Single
clients may share accommodation with other clients. Sleeping
bags available for hire.
Meals:
The food is healthy and every endeavour is made to suit all
tastes, and we make as much use of local procedure as possible
We include coffee and tea, as well as fruit juice at breakfast,
but all alcohol and soft drinks are for your own expense.
DRIFTERS do not operate the food kitty system, because this
causes delays during the journey while the passengers shop,
and is open to misuse. All braai's and breakfasts are provided
by us, but not meals en route to and from the area of the
tour.
Transport: Various brands of trucks, vans,
Land cruisers and Unimogs, all chosen for their practicality
and reliability they seat up to 17 clients depending on the
application
Group Size and
Age: Groups usually numbers between 6 and 17 clients.
By travelling in small groups it means that we don’t
invade campsites and can avoid wasting time in constantly
having to wait for people. It also enables us to maintain
a far more personal service for our clients. From our experience
our groups are normally made up of individuals, couples and
sometimes groups of friends aged between 18 and 55 years.
The sheer physical and youthful mentality, which prevails
on these tours, makes them generally unsuited to anybody over
the age of 55 years
Important Information:
As our program must be projected so far ahead and our prices
are therefore subject to exchange rate fluctuations, we reserve
the right to surcharge without notice, although this is against
our intentions. Any special extra excursions are for the client’s
expense.
This tour involves a certain amount of walking, so a small
daypack is advisable. Seasonable Malaria precautions are advisable
and are locally obtainable. During winter the nighttime temperatures
can fall below zero and during summer the daytime temperatures
can reach the forties, so
be prepared for this. Most major currencies can be exchanged
on arrival in Windhoek and other centers, but banking hours
do apply. Credit cards are generally accepted.
Our price includes transport, food, coffee, teas, and fruit
juice at breakfast, a professional guide, group equipment,
accommodation, permits and park entry fees. The price does
not include alcohol and soft drinks, tips, curios and optional
extras.
