Background
All of our tours are inclined toward the interesting and often unique fauna and flora of Africa, and for this reason we often leave the “beaten track” to explore remote areas where little or no familiar infrastructure exists. In these areas we generally camp, but all equipment is supplied, and no previous experience is necessary.
All that you need to bring along is a sleeping bag, towel, and a supplementary mattress (if desired). When we enter built-up areas where facilities exist, we use inns, bungalows or small hotels. Drifters tours are based on twin shared accommodation, however we do not charge a single supplement for individual bookings.
If you really wish to spend your time on an African safari with a small international group, and you relish the thought of an environmentally educative and adventurous experience where “Roughing it and Loving it” is the order of the day, then Drifters is your only choice.
Licences And Associations
Being Southern African owned and based, Drifters have a company registered in every country in which we operate. Drifters are also members of all major tourist associations and authorities, and are licensed and insured to operate throughout the region, thus ensuring accountability and providing clients with security and peace of mind.
Responsible Travel
The Drifters philosophy is based on one of sustainability – the long-term assurance that whatever activity we conduct in any specific natural area must contribute to the conservation and to the well-being of the inhabitants of that area, thus ensuring that future generations will be able to visit those same areas and enjoy the same experience as did their parents before them. Drifters employ large numbers of local people across Southern Africa. Travellers can therefore feel assured that a percentage of their tour fee is in fact going directly to all those local communities.
