Alternatively from our Hop-on Hop-off Passes, travellers looking for a more structured itinerary, with accommodation included, and a fixed trip length, can choose from our many Adventure Trips all around the world. Adventure Trips are organised trips with set itineraries which can be combined with any other bamba trip or booked independently.

Trip TypesTo help you choose the Adventure Trip that is right for you, look for thefollowing logos representing our trip types throughout the brochure:

AdveNture tripstrip style:

If you are looking for private arrangements for you and your travel buddy(ies), our pri-vate adventures are perfect for you! We of-fer a wide range of itineraries that come with a private driver/guide most of the time. Our list of adventures in the brochure is just a reference. We can easily help you create and personalise your own private adventure!

Bus tours offer a cheap way to visit touris-tic sites. You will usually be travelling with a large group by bus, on a fixed schedule. Most of these tours include bus transportation, ac-commodation and entrance fees. Extras must be paid locally. These are independent tours accompanied by a tour coordinator who will organise the tour but not guide you.

These small group adventures include great local guides, all of your transport, accommo-dation, and some meals. They give you the chance to move around more easily, step off the beaten path, and immerse yourself in the local culture. You’ll usually share your trip with no more than 12 like-minded travellers, though it is often less.

Page 17: Bamba Experience Africa & Middle East Brochure 2016

Group tours with rigid departure dates and itineraries just might not be the right fit for your travel style. Travel independently on a fixed itinerary with pre-booked public transportation, included activities with local guides and the accommodation of your choice. Mix and match a series of short adven-tures and we will book the transportation in between for you.

your choice of accommodation: Choose to stay overnight in hostels, 3-star, or 4-star hotels ahead of time.

local Guides on included activities Only: There’s no tour leader to follow around on these adventures, only local guides for each included activity. You will travel on your own for the public bus portions and for the rest of the time you are travelling which allows you the freedom to do what you want and go where you please in your free time!

travel solo or in a Group: Our self-guided adventures don’t require a mini-mum number of travellers for departure so if you want to go solo, all you have to do is make your booking and you’re off on an exciting independent adventure! Otherwise grab a friend or group of travel buddies and we will arrange everything for you.

travel at your Own pace: explore at your own pace and take advantage of an independent self-guided adventure to experience an authentic new way of travel. Most trips have daily departures!

Why are our Bamba Interactive Safaris so special and different? Experience a day in the life of the Masai people first-hand on an Interactive Safari which is run and operated by Bamba Experience.

Activities on a Masai Mara Interactive Safari

• Experience Local Community Life as kids herd the livestock and local women milk the cows, collect wood, water and cook for their families.

• Take a Nature Walk with a local Masai villager who has lots of knowledge about the medicinal herbs that are used by the local people.

• One-on-One interaction: Share a simple meal, dance and sing with the chief Masai of the village and the highly respected Ma-sai elders at an authentic Masai village. Experience a once-in-a-lifetime interaction that you would never imagine on any normal tour.

• Go on an Authentic African Safari with a local Masai guide who will show you the Big 5 aboard an open-roof safari vehicle in Ma-sai Mara Game Reserve. The word ‘safari’ originally comes from Swahili meaning ‘journey’. Nowadays ‘African Safari’ means a journey into the African wilderness to observe and photograph diverse animal species up-close in their natural habitat.

Accommodation Options on an Interactive Safari:

• Manyatta: Choose to sleep in a traditional Masai hand-built house made of mud, sticks, grass and cow dung, known as a Man-yatta, equipped with comfortable cots inside, located very close to the Masai community. Get the chance to sleep nearby the clan and to get to know their daily lifestyle.

• Camping: Pitch your own tent at a campsite with shared toi-lets & showers. Sleep in a sleeping bag on an sleeping pad. Some camps offer basic permanent tents with beds and mosquito nets. This is the perfect option for budget travellers who want to keep costs low and experience the African wilderness firsthand!

• Lodges: Experience a safari in the comfort of cosy African lodg-es with ensuite bathrooms, a high quality of service and exquisite meals. Some lodges offer incredible views inside or overlooking the national parks and sometimes a refreshing pool. The lodges we work with guarantee that you will spend the night in peace and at harmony with nature.
