Camp sites used vary, depending on the different tours and countries. Many are within national parks, such as Kruger, which have hot water, showers, flush toilets and boast extras such as laundry facilities and a swimming pool. Other camp grounds cannot provide hot water for showers but their location possibly offers what their facilities lack. The good road network of southern Africa allows the use of suitably modified buses for increased speed, which therefore reduces travelling time. Alternatively, you may travel in a 12-seater minibus, with a trailer for luggage and equipment.
