Overland Camping Tour through Africa – the real travel story<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hearing about first hand experiences is invaluable, especially when planning your own camping overland adventure through Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to find out about the highs, the lows and the authentic reality of travelling, let us dive into The Travel Cult<\/a> blogger Janire Denny-Arzalluz’s experience with Acacia: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Travel<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fresh out of university, and not quite ready to hit the \u2018real world\u2019 and work, one of my best friends Sarah and I booked a 6-week overland road trip through Africa with Acacia Africa. We travelled from Kenya through Tanzania, Zanzibar, Malawi, Zambia, Botswana and ended our trip in South Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wild camped throughout most of the trip, camping in tents in the bush, except for staying in a couple of hostels along the way. This was the most magnificent trip of my life so far and I\u2019m not sure much could beat it! We had so many amazing experiences; safaris, beach days, history, volunteering, conservation and parties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We met tribal peoples where we learnt about and took part in their daily routines, learnt their languages and enjoyed free time together. We took part in some of the world\u2019s most exhilarating activities such as bungee jumping and white water rafting and we made friends and memories for life…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
