Reality Check
Drive times on this trip are moderate and we will normally arrive at our destination by lunch time or just after lunch.
We will rarely exceed 5 hours driving in one day, but some of the areas we visit are remote so the roads can be bumpy at times.
It will be cooler during UK summer months so please ensure that you bring adequate warm clothing, especially for the evenings when the temperature can drop quickly when the sun goes down. It can also get very warm in UK winter months so bear this in mind when packing.
We use a combination of lodges, chalets and campsites.
There is a minimal time difference and we also visit some malaria areas.
Normal group size and age
Normally 6 to 12, plus leader and camp assistant. Minimum age 5.
Trivia
Namibia was the first country in the world to incorporate ''protection of the environment'' into its national constitution. It protects an area 3 times the size of Cuba, including the entire length of its coastline.
Icons explained
Going on a Family Group trip is a fantastic way to meet new friends and create lasting friendships – for parents and children alike! These holidays combine exploration with sociability and fun, as other families will join you. Minimum ages vary across the trip range, but is usually from 5 years old.
Special Interest: For those who have a passion for archaeology, food, flowers, languages or yoga. Solar eclipse and Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) departures and specialist conservation holidays are also included.
Our Family Group holidays usually cater for children from 5 years old. However, experience tells us that children tend to prefer mixing with their own age groups, especially teenagers. That’s why we’ve designated certain departures on our group trips as particularly recommended for teenagers. Whilst we don't restrict younger kids from joining these holidays, the 'recommended for teenagers' departures means there are likely to be other teenagers to share the experience with.
Wildlife: Trips may be wholly wildlife focused, or contain an element of wildlife viewing within a less specific itinerary.
All Exodus trips are active but some may have different activities scheduled every day. Activities we offer include kayaking in Slovakia, trekking in the Drakensberg, cycling in the Tuscan countryside or canoeing along the Zambezi River.
