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.
