Circuit Le Cap-Victoria Falls avec Club Aventure?
by Flopaba · 2006-06-01 · 13 replies
Bonjour,

Mon copain et moi souhaiterions partir en Afrique Australe fin août - début septembre. Après avoir regardé auprès de plusieurs voyagistes, il me semble que Club Aventure a un bon rapport qualité prix avec son voyage Safari Explorer qui traverse l'Afrique du Sud, la Namibie, le Botswana jusqu'aux chutes Victoria (2800€ TTC tout compris) Est-ce que parmi vous d'autres ont fait ce trajet ? Est-ce que c'était bien, les guides étaient compétents, les lieux visités superbes ? Le voyage se fait appremment en minibus : vous pensez que c'est quand meme confortable ? Sinon, vous connaissez d'autres voyagistes avec un bon rapport qualité-prix (parce qu'à partir de 3000 euros, c'est vraiment super cher) que vous nous conseilleriez ? J'ai lu que les campings en Namibie sont très bien tenu; par contre il parait que ce n'est pas le cas au Botswana. Est-ce vrai ? Et en Afrique du Sud, c'est comment ? Autre petite question : les bivouacs sont sans sanitaires : euh, question bête, comment on fait quand on a une envie pressante (et que c'est la nuit ?). Sinon, est-ce qu'on chope facilement la turista sur le trajet ? 🤪 Sinon le trajet suit : le Cap, le Cadarberg, la Gariep River, Fish River Canyon, le parc du Namib-Naukluft (2 jours), Swapkopmund, le Damaraland, la rivière Ugab, Etosha (2 jours), Windhoek, le Kalahari, le delta de l'Okavango, les Makgadikgadi pans et les Victoria Falls (2 jours). Est-ce que vous trouvez que c'est bien comme tour ? peut-on voir pas mal de paysages et d'animaux ?

Sinon j'ai vu que Samsara Voyages propose le même tour : qqn connait ce voyagiste ? que de questions... Merci pour toute vos infos !!!!

Quel pays voir en priorité en Afrique noire?
by Nougy · 2005-02-27 · 18 replies
La question est posée... Certains d'entre vous ont déjà visité plusieurs pays d'Afrique et c'est notamment à vous que je m'adresse. Si je n'avais qu'un seul pays à voir sur ce grand continent, lequel me conseilleriez-vous ?

Nous aimons les paysages grandioses, les rencontres avec la population, souhaitons faire ce voyage avec un guide local, histoire de ne rien rater et d'apprendre beaucoup et avons 3 semaines/1 mois à y consacrer en mai/juin.

Merci pour vos avis 😉

Belize: Tobacco caye pour farniente?
by Guim · 2004-05-18 · 12 replies
salut à tous!

quel est le meilleur endroit pour passer 2-3jours de farniente-plage-plongée au large du belize, histoire de faire un break entre le mexique et le guatemala? et si possible (et surtout!😉) à un tarif "étudiant", donc qui ne fasse pas doubler le budget des vacances... et encore mieux, un endroit qui ne soit pas trop pollué par le tourisme de masse aux normes américaines... (quelle exigence!!)

j'ai entendu dire que tobacco caye était pas mal, mais je ne connais rien au belize...

quelqu'un a-t-il une idée? Merci bcp!!

Étape tour du monde en Afrique
by Sibona · 2004-04-11 · 4 replies
Bonjour,

Nous préparons un tour du monde et nous hésitons encore pour notre étape Afriquaine. Nous souhaiterions passer 3 semaines dans un pays qui représente bien l'Afrique, où nous pourrions voir de beaux paysages et des animaux, communiquer facilement avec la population locale (français ou anglais), et idéalement dormir chez l'habitant quand c'est possible. Cependant, nous voudrions éviter les saffaris organisés car nous partons en routard / sac à dos.

Après une première sélection grossière, les pays qui nous tentent pour le moment sont : 🙂 le Sénégal 🙂 le Mali 🙂 la Mauritanie 🙂 la Namibie 🙂 le Bostwana...

Si certains d'entre vous sont allés dans plusieurs de ces pays, quel serait votre recommendation ?

Merci ! Nicolas & Sabine
Bons plans au Botswana
by StephanieC · 2004-01-19 · 29 replies
Bonjour. Préparant un voyage au Botswana, je suis à la recherche de toutes infos. En sachant que nous devons passer seulement deux semaines sur place, et que nous ne nous sentons pas assez aventuriers pour louer un 4x4 ni assez amateurs de la vie en groupe pour supporter un voyage en collectif... Bref, on s'achemine vers une formule dans des lodges les moins chers possible (je sais, c'est drôle) et on attend vos suggestions, souvenirs, expériences. Aussi sur les chutes Victoria coté zambien. D'avance merci

Tanzania: Discovering Ruaha and Nyerere (formerly Selous)
by SimonL · 2026-04-05 · 46 replies
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.

Planning a 3-month Southern Africa trip with kids in a camper van
by Lily97407 · 2026-02-09 · 21 replies
Hello,

I’m reaching out because I’ve already read tons of info from other forums (thanks a million, by the way!) and blogs, but now I’m overwhelmed with details and have so many questions. I’m really hoping you can help us figure this out! Here’s the plan: We’re leaving France for Senegal in our camper van (with two kids, aged 4 and 7), then shipping the van to South Africa before heading to Namibia. We’re planning to leave this summer and should arrive in South Africa in early September. The goal is to reach Réunion by early December, which gives us 3 months to explore Southern Africa. Originally, we wanted to pick up the van in Cape Town, head up to Namibia, and visit the main parks and iconic spots, then go north to Botswana (Etosha Park) and Zimbabwe (Victoria Falls) before heading back down to South Africa to enjoy the milder temperatures while exploring the country. But now we’re wondering how to get back to South Africa. We’ve come up with three options: - Head back down through Botswana: I’ve read everywhere that Botswana isn’t recommended for kids under 6 (most parks) because it can be potentially dangerous—few enclosures for animals (even though we have a camper van with "secure" beds), and the agencies we’ve contacted don’t recommend it. Plus, southern Botswana is tough to navigate in a camper van. - Return from central Botswana (Maun) to Windhoek and drive back to Cape Town via Namibia. - Cross Zimbabwe and potentially Mozambique to head down to Kruger Park and Johannesburg.

Anyone familiar with this region have any recommendations?

Also, is it necessary to book accommodations in advance? Is that only required in certain countries (maybe Botswana/Zimbabwe)? We’d like a mix of camping and lodges.

All advice is welcome!
Visa for multiple border crossings in Zambia and Zimbabwe
by Ruam · 2026-01-22 · 12 replies
Hello, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026! We’re heading back in October for a trip through Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. I have a question: for our route, we’ll need to cross the Zambia and Zimbabwe borders twice each. From experience, I know we won’t have any issues with Botswana. But for the other two countries, I can’t find a clear answer. All your tips are welcome!

Thanks for your replies

Africa Round Trip: Questions About Vehicle Type and Roads
by JilieJi · 2025-06-20 · 20 replies
Hi there!

I'm considering doing a round trip of Africa, starting in Morocco, then following the west coast down to the south, and finally heading back up along the east coast.

However, I have some big questions about the route:

From what I've gathered after a lot of research, the road seems quite doable without a 4x4 as far as Senegal, or even Benin?

It's between Benin and Namibia that it would get really tough, and I'd either need a 4x4 or to ship my vehicle if I'm in a converted H2L2 van (not 4x4)?

Could someone clarify this for me?

Otherwise, it seems like Southern, Northern, and Eastern Africa are accessible without a 4x4?

As for the vehicle, if a 4x4 is essential, I'm torn between: Kangoo 4x4 Lada Niva 4x4 standard C15 C15 4x4 Renault Trafic 4x4 (H2L2, so still quite large) or a Subaru Libero 4x4

Or would it even be possible with a simple Twingo? ^

But is that enough, or do I absolutely need a 4x4 like a Toyota, Land Rover, or something similar?

Those are my current questions! If anyone has some answers, that would be amazing!

Thanks so much!
What’s your definition of a nature destination?
by Attila · 2025-01-07 · 61 replies
Hi,

I’m starting this thread after a digression that began in the India section and continued in a travel journal about Kerala.

The original topic was whether India is—or isn’t—a nature destination.

I’ll let you all discuss and share your own definition of a nature destination. 🙂
