Fitness Retreat Tour Information
Frequently Asked Questions about our Fitness Retreat
Below you will find answers to frequently asked questions about the fitness retreat to South Africa.
How do the prices work?
Rates for the Fitness Retreat are shown in Euro. The description states what is included and excluded in the price per person. We unfortunately do not book or arrange flights on behalf of client. For more information about the payment and cancelation options, have a look at the “Payment and Invoice” section in our Terms and Conditions.
What is the single supplement?
If you prefer not to share a tent or room with someone on tour, you can request to pay the single supplement and we will do our best to arrange a private tent or room for you during your tour. Almost everyone on tour shares a tent with someone from the same gender.
Please note: when you travel alone on one of our accommodated group tours (hotel/ lodge tour), the single supplement will be compulsory. During your tour you will then have your own private room every night.
Overland truck/ Adventure vehicle – examples
- An overland truck is big and strong- designed to take on whatever Africa can throw at them. The overland trucks are high off the ground with big windows that can slide open all the way- which makes them perfect for a Safari and enjoying Africa’s most spectacular landscapes.
- Group sizes: Some overland trucks can carry up to 24 clients even though some of our tours are actually limited to a maximum of 17 clients. On selected departure dates the maximum number of clients is only 12… which gives you even more space to move around.
- Luggage: Please keep in mind that our tours are of an adventurous nature and you will be travelling in an overland truck/ adventure vehicle and luggage should NOT include any hard cover “Samsonite” style suitcases. Most of the trucks have lockers for the luggage. Locker sizes: 70cm deep x 40cm wide x 38cm high. Only a soft bag will fit in these lockers.
- A suitcase is far more difficult to store and to make secure in our vehicles and this is part of the reason we ask for a soft cover bag/ sports bag/ backpack or tote bag to be used as your luggage. The other reason is that you need to walk from the truck to the accommodation and this is often over sand or uneven terrain. If you can’t carry your own bag, it is too heavy!
- Please note: If you bring a suitcase it might be left behind or you may be charged a fee to carry it if it does not fit into your locker.
Hotels and Lodges – examples
- In Southern Africa all the accommodation used has bedding and towels provided. All accommodation is 2 per room, and most of them offer en-suite facilities. Clients travelling alone have to pay the extra single supplement, but this will assure a private room throughout the tour.
Do I need a visa?
- For most nationalities a visa for South Africa, Namibia, Swaziland and Lesotho will be free of charge and you will receive a stamp in your passport once you arrive there or when you cross the border. This information is subject to change at any time, so please contact the embassy or consulate of each country for the latest visa information.
- This information should be seen as a rough guideline only.
- For up to date visa information, you have to contact the embassy or consulate of each country.
