If you're between 18 and 39 and planning an overland trip, Acacia Africa is ideal as they're the only dedicated overland company who deal exclusively with young people aged between, well, 18 and 39. Which means no more boring fossils (unless you find them rock bound en route, of course, which would be cool).
It also means lots of cool people who all want to do cool things on the same cool truck. Sound lekker? Of course it does! Acacia has been operating safaris in East and Southern Africa for 17 years. Their super cool crew has been on the road for years and has a passion for sharing knowledge.
Acacia offers all the usual routes but they do it a little bit slower and include a little bit more. There are loads of departure dates and an all-inclusive local payment let's you pay for all optional excursions upfront. So, if you run out of moolah en route, you won't have to stay in the truck and mope while everyone else has fun. Their trucks are cool too (they are, after all, transporting cool people) with individual lockers inside for all your stuff plus a fridge to keep drinks cool. Musos will dig the iPod charging station at the back of the truck. Plug in and start sharing cool music with fellow adventurers. Cool.
