Travelling in Africa - Information

People often underestimate the sheer size of the African continent, and the lack of a permanent infrastructure makes travelling here a slightly different affair to what you might be used to. We've tried to outline a few of the basic things that an African traveller might expect...should you book with us your itinerary will go into greater and more specific detail.

Because of the distances involved, much of your travelling will be done by air; both internationally and internally. To get to Luangwa we predominantly use light aircraft, and then cover distance over-ground in specially adapted vehicles. Your itinerary will explain what mode of transport to expect at each destination...we typically arrange to either have your plane or Land Rover to be waiting for you when travelling to the next location. More information on this can be found in the Flights / Transfers section.

If you'd like to have a look at whereabouts The Bushcamp Company is in relation to the rest of the world, we've provided a number of maps and satellite imagery that can be found in Maps of the Area. Included within this part of the site is an interactive map that will show you the location of camps and allow you to zoom in and out of the area on demand.

Medical Advice is pretty much self-explanatory, and whilst we recommend (and insist) that you consult with your doctor before travelling to Africa, some standard precautions and concerns are to be had by every visitor, and this section will cover a few of the basics. Once again, your booking will give you up-to-date advice on what you need to do in order to travel through Africa safely, and we have our consultants readily available for any questions. Just give us a buzz!
