What do I need to supply on tour?

Water Bottle:

Consider bringing your own water bottle to refill along the way. We recommend at least a 1.5litre capacity. The sale of bottled water contributes to an enormous environmental problem around the world. In addition to the water in bottles, the production of a 1 litre plastic bottle takes 2 litres of water and 200ml of oil. A large proportion end up in limited landfill or discarded in waterways and natural environments. Iced cold water is supplied for refilling water bottle throughout the tour.

Batteries/Power Source:

Most of our trips have access to power to recharge batteries for phones and cameras every couple of days. We always recommend that you carry an extra battery for your camera, just in case. Your vehicle will be equipped with a 12-volt “cigarette lighter” socket, which may be used at the crew’s discretion; however, do bear in mind that only one piece of equipment can be charged at a time, and it will not be allowed if there is a risk of running the vehicle’s batteries low. We suggest you bring a mix of normal and rechargeable batteries and the appropriate recharging unit. Most campsites have electricity for charging batteries at the toilet blocks; However, as our camps are a short walk from them, it is advised not to leave them behind.

Headlight or torch:

A headlamp or torch is recommended for navigating around your accommodation at night. Some properties have limited lighting and are powered by generators that switch off at a certain time. It’s a good idea to bring a headlamp or torch.
