Frequently Asked Question for Guided Tours
How big the groups are?
All the groups are small with stated minimum or maximum size. The maximum size varies from 6 to 8 though it is usually 6. We feel that small group are not only socially more fun but also essential to preserve the integrity of the remote place which we visit.
What will my traveling companions be like?
Many different kinds of people travel with us. They may be of any age from 18 to 60 years old, of either sex, alone or with friend, experienced travelers or complete beginners, but you can be reasonably sure that they will share an interest in travel and exploration and have a similar attitude of mind.
Where do we stay?
Our holidays are not really about accommodation in the same way as beach holidays are: for us, a hotel is a place to spend a night or two, which is not the focus of our trips. Most of our accommodations are based on Motorhome. A camp site is chosen, where possible, for its charm and local character. And when we do camping, we supply all necessary equipments of high standard which allow you to experience and enjoy many attractions of nature in the luxury of a Motorhome, lots of them are in areas where roads don't exist and here, you can combine excitement with comforts.
Is a Motorhome adventures holidays for me?
Motorhome Adventures holidays for anyone with a positive attitude and a desire to explore unusual destinations well off the beaten track, travelling overland together with like-minded people within a relaxed and easy going atmosphere. The main thing to remember is that all our trips are for active, flexible-mind people who enjoy the unusual and the adventurous atmosphere. For those trips which have a specific emphasis on day walk some exertion will be needed, so you should be reasonably fit and sure that you enjoy the activity. On many trips there will be times when you'll have to cope with a temporary lack of civilized comforts such as a hot shower, air-con or ice in your drinks. If you simply can't cope with anything unexpected or unusual then we'd rather suggest you look elsewhere for your holidays: it is too precious a time to waste on something that won't suit you.

What type of food we get?

An escorted cook prepares the finest cuisine to full fill your appetite on every day basis; for every trip, detail of what all included is shown in the Menu (Food section) of each trip. All you need is to take enough money to cover the cost of meals not included in the trip cost and of drinks and incidentals.
Your security?
On many of our holidays the areas are remote, the lifestyle is very different and events much less predictable than on a conventional holiday. Health, safety and operational standards-particularly of camp sites and transport are often not up to Western levels. However good our organization is, we are at the mercy of the unexpected, and this type of trip can never be entirely cut-and-dried. If you are not prepared for this you should not travel with us. Because these are not ordinary package holidays, the guided tours are statements of intent rather than promises. Local weather, politics, transport (vehicle breakdown) or a host of other uncontrollable factors can mean a change in itinerary or means of transport. It is unlikely that the itinerary would be substantially altered, but if changes are necessary the leader/driver will decide the best alternative, after consultation with the group. Where a delay or change does occur, we will do everything to minimize its effects, but we cannot be held responsible for the results of delays or changes outside our control. Finally, crime and other security risks exist in practically all countries, just as they do in Miami or London. Travelling in a group is a safeguard, but not a guarantee. Though we will take all reasonable care of you, but we cannot do this adequately if you do not at all times take sensible precautions yourself.

How do we travel?
On adventure trips the method of transport used can very greatly according to the terrain and can make a big difference to your overall comfort. In most areas we use our Motorhomes; in more rugged areas (i.e. safaris) we use other four-wheel-drive transport; indeed in some areas, where the roads stop, the only way to explore is on foot. At other times you may find yourself on rafts, canoes or whatever is best suited to the terrain: even elephants & Camels feature!
