groups

You must be a flexible, easy going, independent person, with team spirit. Often you will be with several different nationalities. Some people join trips together with a friend or partner, but many travel on their own. Group sizes will normally range from between 6 to 21, but can sometimes be less and in South America may be up to 24.
Most adventures require no more than an average level of fitness but bear in mind that you can encounter extreme temperatures, climatic conditions and altitude. Many of our programmes have strenuous "wild side" activities available.


Spirit of Exploration

You will be expected to participate in all aspects of the tours, whether it is in some of the many "wild side" activities, helping with the cooking (which is done on a rota basis if part of the tour) or doing camp chores. On the longer, more challenging expeditions, you will be instrumental in making the journey happen. Your will and determination will be an important element of the trip. You will often find that you will need to work together, whether it's bartering in the local markets for the day's dinner, or digging the truck out of sand in the desert. Cohesion of the group is very important. On an overland trip you will not be treated as a passenger because you will be part of the team. Involve yourself, participate, throw yourself into the frenzy of overland life and you will have a wild time.

Involve Yourself

When we are camping we will cook on camp stoves and fires and eat camp food. This includes three meals a day including a picnic lunch or the occasional local meal. When staying in hotels we eat out in local restaurants. You are free to eat where and what you like. Try out the local cuisine, its part of local life and a major part of the experience. Meals while staying in hotels are not included in the kitty.

if this is 2 wild? We have other programmes that cost a bit more, but may be what you want

If this style of trip looks too rough and ready, ask us about other programmes. If you like this kind of adventure but with more style and the rough edges removed, we can help you.
