It is a simple answer really! Acacia have the best coolest trucks, all identical, no ugly rattlers, we are young and funky, the most experienced crew members (some have been with us for 9 years) that can not only show you a great time, teach you about the areas, lead a tour professionally and can cook awesome local cuisines and I must say a good Braai (Barbeque). We take the best routes through Southern and Eastern Africa and use the best campsites with the best equipment including a fridge freezer, ipod jack, cool book library, comfy seats with seat belts, lounge and pull down windows for great game viewing. What make us different to other companies is as follows:
