We provide the services of an expert photographer and digital download facility on all our overland tours, a unique feature making us stand out from the others!
One of our crew (normally the Tour Leader) is a full-qualified, semi-professional, photographer who will be available to give advice on photographic (and video) techniques; and will organise “workshops/tutorials” on photographic subjects and techniques (eg landscape, wildlife and bird photography, night shots, close-ups and portraits) to assist our guests to improve their photographic technique. We also provide a laptop computer with multi-card reader for those clients with digital cameras to enable you to download your memory cards and burn those special memories to CD or DVD while on tour.
Tour price includes all highlights (inclusive activities worth £695), all ground transport except Zanzibar, all road tolls and vehicle taxes, camping and cooking equipment and services of 3 crew.
Local Payment covers all food (3 meals a day, (except Zanzibar) - provided by our now legendary Kenyan Cook) and camping fees/accommodation for the whole tour, including 4 nights on Zanzibar. This is payable to the tourleader at the start of the tour in US dollars only.
