ADVENTURE CAMPING TOURS
Kiboko Adventures is the adventure brand of Karibu Safari, a reputable, well-established company that has been organising discovery tours in Africa for the past 23 years. Kiboko is an AFRICAN company committed to the conservation of nature and wildlife.
Kiboko vehicles and equipment are the best available on the market and to ensure the smooth operation of all safaris, Kiboko has bases and backup workshops in Johannesburg (South Africa), Maun (Botswana) and Windhoek (Namibia).

Group size is kept relatively small with a maximum of 16 participants. Clients are required to participate in certain tasks such as assisting the guide with the making and breaking up of camp ,erecting and dismantling their tents with ease .The concept behind a Kiboko tour is for guests to enjoy the tasks they are responsible for, while still feeling like valued visitors who are on holiday. Clients’ participation and involvement is an integral part of an enjoyable and successful journey. Groups are pleasantly informal, usually comprising a wide range of nationalities in the 25 to 55 year age group and are aimed at healthy, active participants looking for an adventurous holiday. This is purely a guideline and older adventurers will be accepted on request.

A Kiboko Adventure is a wonderful voyage of discovery offering a pleasant balance of involvement in the daily life of the camp, with plenty of opportunity for relaxing and reflecting on each days adventures. Kiboko offers the most comfortable and best value-for-money adventure travel in southern Africa.

THE KIBOKO CONCEPT
Africa with at Kiboko Adventures
AFRICAN CONDITIONS
Please note that itineraries will depend on local conditions: Travelling in Africa is sometimes unpredictable and participants should have a taste for adventure. By the very nature of travelling in remote areas there are unforseen challenges to overcome. Unpredictable circumstances due to problems with road conditions, weather, mechanical breakdowns or accidents can delay and change the performance of the safari. However, this is all part of the great adventure of travelling in Africa!

BOTSWANA PARK EXCURSIONS
4x4 open sided game viewing vehicles (10 seater) are used on excursions into the National Parks of Botswana. All entrance and park fees in Botswana are included and excursions are conducted by a professional,local Botswana registered guide.

FOOD & DRINKS
All meals are prepared by the guide & assistant/cook with special emphasis placed on good, wholesome food. A continental breakfast: cereals, bread, jams, tea, coffee and milk is served in the morning. Lunch is usually a "cold picnic" with the main meal being enjoyed in the evening. Freezers on each vehicle allow us to be self-sufficient. Drinks and mineral water are not included on the tours and may be purchased from a bottle store or supermarket at reasonable prices and stored in the cooler box provided. Tea and coffee is available when in camp.

CAMPING EQUIPMENT
Large, spacious, comfortable tents (W2.4m x L2.4m x H1.9m) accommodating 2 persons are provided. Each tent is insect proof and equipped with a built-in ground sheet for insulation as well as two large aerating windows with mosquito nets. Each passenger is provided with a 6 cm thick foam mattress and a comfortable safari folding chair. A comprehensive set of cooking and camping equipment, water containers, first aid box, reference books on mammals and birds of the area and a set of spare parts are carried in the vehicle.
