Ryann Johnson Wanted to know if he could still game drive through the skies on our 21-East African Explorer and book that once in a lifetime balloon ride. Yes indeedi Ryann! And to show him just how awesome trip this is, we even included Cathy May’s “Up, up and away post!"
Rebecca Morris needed info on her Zambia visa for her 25-day South West Safari. If you're a UK passport holder you can grab your visa out on tour. The best currency to use is USD.
Kerry Taylor also needed advice on visas "Hi!! Am off on the Kenya and Tanzania adventure on the 28th of Jan, anybody else??? Is it still ok to get visa's on entering those countries, as its too late for me to do anything else!!!"
Acacia Africa Hi Kerry, if you are on a UK passport you can get the visa's on arrival just have the US$ cash on hand to pay for them - hope you have a fantastic trip - not long now!

Tamara Nevin wanted to know if we had any late deals for the 25-day South West Safari overland tour, or if she should book 6 months in advance for the 5% off. "I want to try and save as much as possible as I am travelling for 5 months. Also, can you tell me what you have heard about Africa Travel Co. They do the same tour for less, so just wanted to see what you thought about them ... A reply would be great ! Thanks"
Acacia Africa Hi Tamara, we've got a 10% deal on that tour price if you book by 31 January - check out the specials page on the website. The more travel buddies you bring along for the ride, the bigger the discount!!! Dan's around the World blog is a great eye opener. There's a full review of his 43-day Kenya To Cape Town overland journey on his site.
Here’s an awesome idea for all you adventure addicts! It’s 10 days until #FrugalFebruary starts, an entire month dedicated to finding ways to save extra money for travel! Find out how you can get involved here…
