| What
is an Overland Tour? |
|
verland tours take place onboard the famous
blue Kumuka overland truck which is recognised all over Africa as the
very symbol of outdoor adventure. Overland tours are participation tours
and every one gets involved in the day to day running of the trip, pitching
in to cook, clean and set up camp. The more you put in to a tour, the
more you’ll get out of it and the smoother the trip will run.

Small groups…
less is more.
When you travel on an overland
tour with Kumuka, you will be travelling with no more
than 20 fellow travellers, considerably less than many other operators.
How is this
beneficial?
With trips ranging in duration
from a couple of weeks to several months and with some journeys
involving longer periods on the vehicle, you will appreciate the
extra comfort, space and less herd-like feeling that a smaller
group offers. It’s also a part of our commitment to responsible
tourism – with fewer travellers on each of our journeys
we are able to tread lightly. |

The Vehicles
The big blue truck will virtually be your home, perhaps for many weeks,
so we make our trucks as comfortable as possible. Onboard you’ll
find mostly forward facing seats, a coolbox, stereo, safe for valuables
and even a small library. There is ample storage space and all of the
camping/cooking equipment is carried on board. Our vehicles carry a
comprehensive range of spare parts and they are all well maintained
by local mechanics. Constructed to our specifications, our rugged trucks
take mountains, deserts and riverbeds in their stride, and will carry
you off the beaten track. Your truck crew will consist of a tour leader
and a driver (some tours have a cook), who will be there to assist and
offer their support and knowledge.
What's
onboard?
Camping
Overland tours are 100% camping. We camp at designated camp sites as
well as free camps. Our tents are of the two person type and if you
are travelling solo they are shared on a same-gender basis. It is essential
that you bring your own sleeping bag and mat and wherever we stop, you
are expected to share in setting-up camp and helping out with the chores.
Local Payment
Our local payment covers 3 meals per day, (except
on Zanzibar), and campsite fees for passengers and crew. The local payment
is payable to your tour leader in US dollars cash at the pre-departure
meeting. It is managed by the tour leader and one of the passengers.
Food
3 Meals a day are provided whilst camping. Cooking is
done over a campfire or gas cookers and you will be suprised at the
quality of food prepared and the generous helpings - some tours even
come with a cook onboard. Hygiene is very important and strict routines
are followed to keep you healthy and happy. Special diets can be catered
for - let your travel consultant know about your dietary requirements
in advance.
