Styles of Travel

Overlanding: Travelling overland is an adventurous and exciting way to see the sights, meet the cultures, and feel the soul and rhythm of Africa. The roads can be rough, driving times long and there can be lengthy delays. Travel in a self-sufficient vehicle that carries everything, including camping and cooking equipment and get off the beaten track to the real Africa.

Small Group Adventures: Perfect for those short on time, but wanting tours high on activity and to see as many attractions as possible. Get closer to the action, away from the crowds, book optional activities easier and make less impact on the local environment.

Adventure Tours: Designed to cater for all levels, from the 'laid back' to the extreme. The activities include white water rafting, bungee jumping, 4-wheel driving, sky-diving and gorge swinging. For a more relaxed style, try horse riding, elephant back safaris, canoe safaris, trekking and beach getaways and safaris for the whole family.

Lodge and Tented Safaris: Combine excellent game viewing with a touch of luxury at an affordable price! Acacia lodges and tented camps have been carefully selected for their character, design, service and cuisine. Itineraries combine quality accommodation with the best things to see and do; many safaris include game activities such as game walks and drives while others are designed purely for those wishing to relax in stunning African locations. A tented camp is designed to give you that rustic feeling of camping in Africa without doing the hard work yourself.

Fly-In Safaris: Africa is a vast continent and fly-in safaris are a great way to save time avoiding sometimes long, uncomfortable and arduous journeys. With these specially designed tours you can fly into remote and untouched parts of Africa direct to experience incredible African safaris and beach breaks.

Self Drive: With well developed roads and infrastructure, Southern Africa is ideal for self-driving tours. These tours give you the flexibility to explore this part of Africa at your own pace. Overnight stops are flexible, with a voucher system in place. Maps, directions and suggested itineraries are provided along with a 24hr help-line.

City & Short Stays: For those who are interested in the historical and cultural aspects of the cities and surrounding districts, these short stays offer the visitor the chance to enjoy and explore the area and take in the sights and activities available. Discover city breaks in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Nairobi and Cairo, or catch some rays in Zanzibar, Pemba, Mozambique and Victoria Falls.

Diving Tours: Programmes for both qualified divers and those wishing to learn. All Acacia's dive operations are PADI or NAUI registered which guarantees the highest possible standards in service, safety and training. Their dive partners are highly experienced, with in-depth knowledge of their destinations and are passionate about diving.

Accommodation includes small hotels, chalets, cabins and tented lodges, all without breaking the budget - a great option for friends, individuals or families. Relax by the pool or watch game from a viewing deck as the sun sets on your days adventure.

VolunTours: Contribute in a positive way to the people and places you visit on your trip. As well as enjoying sites, wildlife and activities, Acacia;s voluntours offer the chance to roll up your sleeves and help as a volunteer at one of a number of local projects we support.

It's a great way to get under the skin of a place, make special friends, make a difference and experience something really uplifting as part of your tour.
