Where does it take place?
This is true African experience as well as a tracking course. You get to sleep in 2-man dome tents assisting staff in setting up the camp where you are tracking. You will need to remember to bring your own sleeping bag and sleeping matt. Drinking water is provided from a water-tank mounted on a trailer and towed with you to camp. Bring torches too (very important) but lighting will be provided from paraffin camping lanterns. .
