• Please note that this tour combines with other G Adventures tours. As such, the staff and some travel companions on your tour may have previously been traveling together with G Adventures, prior to Day 1 of your tour. Likewise, some staff and travel companions may be continuing together on another G Adventures tour, after your trip concludes. • An essential part of your overland safari is participation. The group is usually divided into small groups and given different tasks which change on a day to day basis, from kitchen duty group (helping in prepare meals and clean up afterwards), the packing group (sets up all tables and chairs outside) and the cleaning group (which cleans the truck by emptying the rubbish bin and brooming). it is all part of your adventure and when everyone puts in a little effort the trip will run smoothly. Your CEOs will lead the meal preparation, but we do ask the clients to help with some prep and cleaning. Team spirit is part of the fun! All camping equipment (with the exception of your sleeping bag and pillow) is supplied. Water-wise tips when visiting Cape Town: Cape Town is currently experiencing one of the worst droughts it has seen in over 100 years, and while we want you to have the best time possible while there, here are some tips to help reduce your water usage: - Bring a reusable water bottle, that you can fill with Cape Town’s tasty tap water. - Reuse your towels in the hotel, for at least two days, before getting new ones. - Keep your laundry until you have a full load to do, rather than just doing a handful of items. - Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth, or shaving. - Keep your showers to two minutes or less, and don’t use the bath. - Use hand sanitizer, instead of washing hands. • The use of drones in national parks in Southern Africa is prohibited.Cape Town - Two Oceans Aquarium (235ZAR per person) - South African Wine Tour and Tasting Table Mountain - Table Mountain Cable Car (420ZAR per person) - Table Mountain Hike (720-1700ZAR per person) Simon’s Town - Boulders Beach Visit (190ZAR per person) Cederberg - Wine Tasting Orange River - Canoeing on Orange River (400ZAR per person) Namib Desert - Namib Desert Walk (350NAD per person) Swakopmund - Sandboarding in the Namib Desert (700NAD per person) - Swakopmund Guided Cultural Tour (750NAD per person) - Skeleton Coast Scenic Flight (4800NAD per person) - Swakopmund Skydiving Etosha National Park - Etosha Open Vehicle Wildlife Safari Night Drive (750NAD per person) - Etosha Open Vehicle Wildlife Safari Drive (1100NAD per person)
