Visiter le désert marocain
Bonjour,
Nous sommes une famille de 4 (2 adultes et 2 ados) et nous avons l'intention de visiter le Maroc pour 3 semaines en août. Ce qui nous intéresse le plus : le désert et les montagnes de l'Atlas. Nous avons déjà organisé nos propres safaris en Namibie, au Botswana, et en Afrique du Sud en 4X4. Donc voilà, si vous avez des bons coins à recommander et des bons tuyaux ... Et surtout : est-ce-que c'est possible de louer des 4X4 ? Est-ce-qu'il faut prendre un guide ? est-ce-que l'on peut camper ?
merci

Trajet en Namibie
Je prépare un voyage en Namibie et nos pérégrinations devraient nous mener jusqu'à Mahango à l'entrée de la bande de Caprivi. Ensuite nous redescendrons sur Sesriem en passant donc par Twyfelfontein. Plutôt que de repasser par Rundu, Grootfontein..., serait-ce une bonne idée que de descendre par le Botswana en longeant le Panhandle de l'okavango puis en tourant "à droite" vers Gobabis en Namibie. Quelqu'un connait-il cette route? passe-t-elle dans le kalahari où est-elle plus au nord?
Merci de votre aide.

Conseils pour périple africano-australien
Bonjour
Je suis dans la phase "recueil d'informations" sur mon futur périple africano-australien :
Mon ami et moi partons en Janvier 2004 pour un périple d'un an en 4x4 à travers l'Afrique puis l'Australie.
Parcours prévu : Maroc -> Mauritanie -> Mali -> Burkina -> Bénin -> Togo -> Niger -> Tchad -> Caméroun -> (Bateau jusqu'en Namibie si possible) -> Namibie -> Botswana -> Zambie -> Malawi -> Tanzanie -> Madagascar (si bateau Tanzanie / Mada) -> Mozambique -> Afrique du
Sud -> Nouvelle Zélande + Australie.
1° - Carnet de passage en douane
Nous avons des informations assez confuses concernant le véhicule et les papiers administratifs liés. En fait nous souhaiterions savoir dans quels pays un carnet de douane est obligatoire et surtout en quoi cela consiste pour entamer au plus tot les démarches correspondantes
Je suis intéressée par tout type d'infos concernant le véhicule sur le plan administratif mais si vous voulez me faire part de votre expérience et de vos conseils sur un des pays traversés ou sur le périple en général n'hésitez pas !
Entre autre points que je commence à creuser :
2° - GPS et système de navigation
Jusqu'à maintenant nous utilisions un GPS + roadbook pour nos différentes incursions essentiellement en AFrique du Nord. On a pensé à acheter un portable PC (ou Mac) pour aller avec notre GPS (Magellan 320) mais on ne voit pas bien comme ça s'enchaine ensuite : quels logiciels ? quelles cartes numérisées ?? Comment tout ce petit monde fonctionne ensemble ?
Bref si quelqu'un pouvait nous indiquer comment démarrer et faire part de son expérience, on apprécierait beaucoup.
3 ° - Liaisons maritimes pour la voiture : Cameroun -> Namibie Tanzanie ou AFrique du Sud -> Madagascar Afrique du Sud -> Australie et Australie -> France 4 ° - Passage terrestre Niger -> Tchad -> Cameroun : est-ce risqué (coupeur de routes ?) 5° - Passage terrestre Botswana -> Zambie -> Malawi -> Tanzanie : idem Et bien sur toute autre info que vous penserez utile pour notre prochaine aventure Merci d'avance pour tous vos tuyaux Nadine

Namibia: Exponential increase in park entry fees
Hey everyone!
Heading to Namibia in a few days and I just read that the entry fees for all parks in Namibia have skyrocketed. Increases between 86 and 100%, and this has been in effect since April 1st (no joke). Have any of you heard about this, and if so, do you know if it’s actually being enforced?
For example, the fee for Etosha has gone from 150 NAD to 280 NAD per day per person.
Thanks in advance!

Tanzania: Discovering Ruaha and Nyerere (formerly Selous)
Hello,
We got back from Tanzania a month ago, on March 5th. I’ve started this trip report at the link the moderator asked me to use:
https://voyageforum.com/forum/decouverte-ruaha-nyerere-ex-selous-en-fevrier-mars-2026-d11466010/
You’ll find a video of our trip on my YouTube channel there.
Now I’ll tell you about our 10-night trip in Tanzania, with 8 nights spent in two parks we didn’t know. Tanzania isn’t new to us—it was even our first African safari destination back in 2012. https://www.youtube.com/@lolodetoul54 Since then, we’ve visited several East and Southern African countries: Kenya, South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, some of them multiple times. We usually travel in September during the dry season. We tried March 2024 for nine nights in the Okavango and loved it, except everything was dry, which wasn’t normal for the rainy season.
So for this second March trip during the wet season, we really got what we asked for… rain. But before that, we had to fight just to get to Tanzania.
Saturday, February 21, 2026:
It’s D-Day—the departure. What a hassle to organize flights to and within Tanzania! I’ll tell you all about it in another post: https://voyageforum.com/forum/toutes-compagnies-aeriennes-tanzaniennes-interdites-d10758360/ On top of that, Rwandair canceled our outbound flight a month before departure. They offered to reschedule us 3-4 days later—ridiculous for a 10-night trip we’d already booked. We had to cancel our tickets and buy new ones with Kenya Airways. We’re still waiting for our refund from Rwandair!!!!!!! So on Saturday, February 1st, our bags were packed. We headed to the Lorraine TGV station, about 30 km from home.
Direct train to Roissy—just 1h15. Quick and efficient.
All that was left was to wait for our overnight flight. We took off on time, just before 11 PM. Smooth flight, nothing unusual. Arrived in Nairobi around 9 AM. A few hours’ wait, then a flight to Dar es Salaam, landing at our first destination around 12:45 PM.
Our local contact, Anne from Asanterra agency, picked us up at the airport. It was hot and humid—it was raining.
Our first night was at the Alexander Hotel. That evening, we treated ourselves to fish and shellfish at the hotel restaurant:
Sunday, February 22, 2026:
A driver picked us up at dawn to take us to the domestic airport so we could finally head to our first destination: Ruaha National Park. We flew with Auric.air for a 2-hour flight with two stops (Nyerere and Zkima airstrips).
I’m always amazed at how easily these Cessnas take off and land on dirt runways—especially when they’re wet:
Aerial view of Zkima airstrip, where we’d landed just minutes earlier:
Flyover of Iringa, a "big" city in the country near Ruaha National Park:
We’re getting close. The plane descends and flies over the Ruaha River, which gave the park its name:
We land for the third and final time that day, reaching our destination: Msembe airstrip, the gateway to Ruaha.

Love at First Sight in Kenya
Hello,
After several years, I’ve finally decided to repost a travel journal on the forum. We returned a few weeks ago from an incredible trip to Kenya, and it’s reignited my desire to share our emotions in the face of these animals.
Kenya wasn’t originally a priority for us in terms of safari—we had the impression it was too touristy. So, we started with other destinations: Namibia, Tanzania, Botswana, and South Africa. But as I did more research, especially on the forum (thanks in part to Sylvie’s many trips), I eventually convinced myself that Kenya could be magnificent, as long as we chose our itinerary carefully and avoided peak seasons.
We ended up going in January, from the 17th to the 31st. We worked with a travel agency (TP) that crafted a custom itinerary for us: Samburu-Ol Pejeta-Naivasha-Maji Moto-Maasai Mara-Diani. They partnered with a local French-speaking agency, and everything was perfectly organized. Our trip exceeded all our expectations, and none of it would’ve been as amazing without our guide, Alfred. He accompanied us for 10 days and was a fantastic travel companion—professional, respectful of the animals, and always in good spirits. We formed a great bond with him in such a short time.
- **January 17th** After meeting up with Juliette and Charlotte in Rennes the night before, we left at 4 AM for Roissy Charles de Gaulle Airport. The thick fog made the drive pretty rough, but we arrived safely around 7:45 AM. A Blue Valet driver was waiting to take our car. Check-in went smoothly, and we waited patiently for our 10:40 AM flight. Unfortunately, despite boarding on time, a passenger was missing, and we had to find a replacement last minute. Then, another passenger who had checked in and dropped off their luggage wasn’t on the plane, so they had to unload their bags. After a long period of uncertainty and spotty communication from the crew, we finally took off over an hour late.
We arrived in Nairobi in the late afternoon, 45 minutes behind schedule. The administrative formalities were endless—it took nearly 1.5 hours from landing to leaving the airport with our luggage. When we stepped out, Alfred, our guide, was waiting with a big smile and drove us to the Eka Hotel, not far from the airport. Exhausted from the long journey, we fell asleep quickly.
- **January 18th** Alfred met us at 7 AM for a long drive to Samburu Reserve. We had a peaceful night, unlike the girls, who barely slept because their neighbors were talking loudly all night. Things even escalated when Charlotte started shouting insults to get them to quiet down, but it didn’t work.
It was Sunday, so traffic around Nairobi and along the route was light. Aside from a quick "technical stop," we drove straight through and arrived in Samburu after just under 6 hours. Because of the lower altitude (around 1,000m on average), it was hot—over 30°C in mid-January.
As soon as we entered the reserve, we spotted some impalas and quickly came across one of the region’s endemic species: the reticulated giraffe, which is absolutely stunning.
While heading to our camp for lunch, Alfred crossed paths with another vehicle and learned that a leopard was nearby. We started searching, and a few minutes later, Anny spotted a shape in a tree—it was our leopard!
There were actually two of them—a mother and her adolescent. The young one was perched high in the tree, in the shade. We got to observe them for a good half-hour in excellent conditions, with just one other vehicle nearby.
Alfred also noticed that the mother had hidden prey (a gerenuk gazelle) in the vegetation, away from prying eyes.
It was time to head to our camp, the Ashnil Samburu Camp, located in the Buffalo Springs area, by the river, in an idyllic setting surrounded by the region’s typical vegetation.
The welcome was fantastic—we immediately felt at home, and that feeling lasted throughout our 3-day stay in the reserve. It was 2 PM, but no one rushed us to the table. Our waitress, Sheila, who took care of us the whole time, was as lovely as the rest of the team. Barely seated, we were invited to watch an elephant passing right by the camp, in front of the restaurant. This trip was off to a great start!
After lunch, we relaxed by the pool. Monkeys, especially vervets, were everywhere, and a camp employee was assigned to keep an eye on them and shoo them away if needed (especially the baboons).
A little before 4 PM, we met up with Alfred for our first game drive. Just outside the camp, a few elephants were in the valley near the river.
We’d see them in the same area almost every day. We also spotted some gazelles.

Renting a 4x4 with Roof-Top Tent from Africa Camper
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip to Namibia in the summer of 2026 and want to rent a 4x4 with a roof-top tent. After reading a lot of posts on the topic, I’m still not sure which rental companies are truly reliable these days...
We found a vehicle at a reasonable price from Africa Camper, but the online reviews are mixed. Has anyone had a good or bad experience with this company?
Thanks so much!

The Kingdom of Lions...
Hello everyone!
This trip dates back to late 2021, but since Voyage Forum reopened for writing, I haven’t seen many travel journals about Tanzania, so I decided to repost this one, which I originally shared on another well-known travelers’ site—even though I prefer Voyage Forum’s user experience.
It’s also a chance for me to relive this exhilarating trip... So, if you’re up for it, let me take you on a classic adventure: Tarangire - Ngorongoro - Serengeti, plus a little bonus—the small Arusha Park.
First off, yes, as the title of this journal suggests, we were lucky enough to spot *tons* of lions. The power they exude is incredible, even if most of the time they just look like big cats napping or strolling around. But lock eyes with one, and you’ll be glad you’re in the jeep.
But let’s not forget the rest of the wildlife—and the landscapes, which are absolutely stunning, with those iconic tree silhouettes.
I remember before leaving, I was a little worried I wouldn’t feel that same sense of wonder I’d experienced two years earlier in Botswana (see my travel journal). That fear was unfounded—the magic worked its charm once again! Note: Since we had limited time, we focused our trip entirely on safari, so this journal is 100% animals and landscapes—and 0% Maasai. Next post: TARANGIRE
Border formalities at Beitbridge (Zimbabwe)
Hi everyone,
We’re self-drivers planning a trip through Zimbabwe in 2026—our route is Johannesburg, Zimbabwe, Mozambique.
We’ll have a rented 4x4.
We’d like to know about any difficulties at the borders between South Africa and Zimbabwe, and between Zimbabwe and Mozambique.
Also, which park in Zimbabwe is the best?
Thanks in advance for your replies!

Travel insurance for a trip to Namibia
Hello,
We’re a couple in our seventies planning a 12-day trip to Namibia this coming September.
We have a Visa Premier card.
In your opinion, should we take out additional travel insurance like Europ Assistance or Chapka?
We don’t want to repeat our bad experience in 2020: we’d taken out insurance with Allianz (over 500 € for 11 days). Our trip to Botswana was canceled due to COVID-19, and they were quick to cite the "epidemic" exclusion to refuse reimbursement.
Just to clarify: the flights will be with Lufthansa, departing from Luxembourg.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can give us some advice!
Paper travel guide for South Africa
Hi,
We’re going on a guided trip to South Africa. I’d love to know which guidebook is the most interesting: Routard, Lonely Planet, Michelin, Guide Vert, or Hachette’s Guide Voir.
Thanks so much for your advice. Marie
Crossing Borders by Car: Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania
Hi there,
We’re doing a staged tour of Africa in our Citroën Dyane 2CV.
We left Belgium and our car is currently in Zambia. We’ll be joining it at the start of 2025 to continue on to Malawi and Tanzania.
We’d love to chat with overlanders who’ve already crossed these borders with a vehicle—without necessarily having a carnet de passage, given the costs and guarantees required.
Thanks
Getting around Zambia and choosing wildlife parks
Hello,
We’re planning a trip to Zambia in 2 years. This will be our 4th trip to Southern Africa—the last one this year was Moremi, Boteti, KCGR, and KTP as a self-drive with campsites and no guide, just my wife and me. For this year’s trip, we prepared 2 years in advance—bookings are really complicated. We were lucky to get a spot at Bitterpan in KTP (there are only 4 chalets).
We’d like to know if it’s easy to get around Zambia, especially when it comes to restocking supplies. Should we rent a 4x4 in Zambia, Namibia, or South Africa? Botswana is very expensive. Which parks are the most interesting? We’re into wildlife photography.
Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance! Best regards, Jean-Marc

South African Airways au bord du dépôt de bilan
Hello,
Je ne peux que vous recommander la plus grande prudence avec la compagnie aérienne SAA, en effet ils étaient au bord du dépôt de bilan avant le Covid-19, alors maintenant ... Et dans ce cas point de remboursement de billets 😕

La Namibie (et environs) des piafous
Bonjour à tous,
Je n'avais pas encore partagé sur Voyage Forum un de nos safaris à orientation piafoulogique. (Piafoulogique, car beaucoup de nos safaris, comme beaucoup dans nos safaris, sont orientés vers la gent ailée, même si perso myself pour ma part je ne crache pas sur un lycaon ou un guépard ou...)
C'est donc avec un plaisir que j'espère vous faire partager que je vais vous montrer quelques-unes des photos d'oiseaux que nous avons faites en Namibie, ma blonde et moi. J'ai adopté une présentation par ordre alphabétique, une sorte de catalogue succinct des emplumés namibiens. Succinct car nous n'avons de photos (montrables ou à peu près) que de 139 espèces namibiennes (plus 24 au Botswana et Zimbabwe), même pas le quart de l'avifaune namibienne (687 espèces d'après Avibase). Et aussi 34 espèces de mammifères, dont il ne sera pas question ici (à 4 ou 5 photos près dans le pavé ci-dessous).
Amitiés à tous et bises aux autres
BL
PS : pour ceux qui seraient intéressés par des détails sur notre voyage, je les renvoie à notre carnet de voyage sur Wilipi. Nous avons voyagé "pépère" avec un guide-chauffeur (l'excellent Olivier), avec un circuit organisé (par Namvic) qui nous a conduits de Windhoek à Victoria Falls.
PS' : et pour ceux qui se demandent "mais pourquoi tant d'ailes", j'ai essayé de répondre à la question finalo-fondamentale "Et les piafous dans tout ça ?" dans une page de safari-tanzanie.net "Photographier des oiseaux en safari ... Pourquoi ? Où ? Lesquels ? Comment ?"
PS '' : et enfin d'enfin, l'index des espèces namibiennes (et assimilées) photographiées

Succinct car nous n'avons de photos (montrables ou à peu près) que de 139 espèces namibiennes (plus 24 au Botswana et Zimbabwe), même pas le quart de l'avifaune namibienne (687 espèces d'après Avibase). Et aussi 34 espèces de mammifères, dont il ne sera pas question ici (à 4 ou 5 photos près dans le pavé ci-dessous).
Amitiés à tous et bises aux autres

PS : pour ceux qui seraient intéressés par des détails sur notre voyage, je les renvoie à notre carnet de voyage sur Wilipi. Nous avons voyagé "pépère" avec un guide-chauffeur (l'excellent Olivier), avec un circuit organisé (par Namvic) qui nous a conduits de Windhoek à Victoria Falls.
PS' : et pour ceux qui se demandent "mais pourquoi tant d'ailes", j'ai essayé de répondre à la question finalo-fondamentale "Et les piafous dans tout ça ?" dans une page de safari-tanzanie.net "Photographier des oiseaux en safari ... Pourquoi ? Où ? Lesquels ? Comment ?"
PS '' : et enfin d'enfin, l'index des espèces namibiennes (et assimilées) photographiées
