What's it like?

In the morning you will be picked up by your own tour guide in his/her jeep right from the front door of your hotel. You may have other guests sharing the jeep with you from other hotels as well, as usually a jeep can take up to eight guests plus the driver.

When the jeep is full the driver takes you to the meeting point to meet all the other jeeps and guests. After a short introduction to the days programme and all the drivers, you will be very anxious to start the tour.

The leading jeep shows the way to the country side and mountains, very bumpy off roads through the bushes and between the trees. Sometimes you climb up a steep hill and you will feel your heart pumping with excitement and almost stopping when the jeep starts slowly coming down a wall-like hill side right on the edge of a deep ravine. But don't worry though, the drivers are all professionals and do the same routes every day! Don't forget to take your camera with you, this is something worth showing back at home too.

After the nerveracking ride you may have a short break somewhere deep in the interior of the countryside and have a taste of the local farmer's fruits and vegetables. You might also stop somewhere else for fire water tasting or handicraft shopping. A delicious lunch is served also, normally being Chicken Piri-Piri, the spicy local dish.

In the afternoon sun you will start heading back to the city, all dusty and tanned, full of funny memories and experiences to share with everyone that stayed home that day. Your driver will bring you back to your hotel. If you liked the day with your driver, and you want to thank him, you are more than welcome to give a small tip.
