Independent travel is the ultimate way to experience a destination authentically.

As independent travellers ourselves, we at Bamba Experience believe passionately in the importance of having complete freedom and flex-ibility of choice. Travel is empowering and through discovering new places, meeting new people, learning new customs and experiencing new cultures, we believe that travellers gain the greatest understand-ing about the world we live in as well as about themselves. Travellers should be able to go where they want, when they want and how they want. It’s this flexibility that gives them the greatest insight and un-derstanding of destinations around the world.

Bamba offers unique trip styles such as hop-on hop-off travel passes, self-guided adventures, and short small group tours in order to expe-rience independent travel as never before across 5 continents. With market leading customer support, expert local knowledge and unique networks of local guides, Bamba enables travellers to travel indepen-dently and immerse themselves in the local culture, interact with na-ture, experience unique adventures and meet new people.

PASSES

TrIP TyPE: INDEPENDENT Most of our Hop-on Hop-off Passes are considered as ‘Independent’. There is no trip leader to follow around, only local guides for each included experience. You will be on your own travel-ling independently and at your own pace! There are many like-minded travellers you will meet along the way too.

We will pre-book all your transportation and included experiences, the rest will be up to you. Our Happiness Team will always be there to help and answer any questions you may have be-fore, during and after your trip.

Travellers with a tight schedule can follow the day by day itinerary and keep the same guide/driver during the whole journey, or you can hop-on and hop-off anywhere along the route to stay for as long as you want in each destination and wait for the next bus to come by!

HOW IT WORkS - SIMPLE STEPS:

TRIP STYLE:ADVENTURE

TRIPSAlternatively 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 TyPES To help you choose the Adventure Trip that is right for you, look for the following logos representing our trip types throughout the brochure:

There’s no tour leader to follow around on these adventures, only local guides for each included activity. You will travel independently on a fixed itinerary with pre-booked public transportation, activities and accommodation. Take advantage of some free time to go explore at your own pace. Choose to stay overnight in hostels, 3-star, or 4-star hotels.

If you are looking for private arrangements for you and your travel buddy(ies), our private adventures are perfect for you! We offer 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!

These small group adventures include great local guides, all of your transportation, accommodation, 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 the average group size is often lower.

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

Trip Type: All of our adventure trips in North America are Bus Tours, learn more about this trip type:

Bus tours offer a cheap way to visit touristic sites. You will usually be travelling with a large group by bus, on a fixed schedule. The buses can sometimes have a capacity of 40 to 55 people.

Most of these tours only include bus transportation and accom-modation, entrance fees and optional activities must be paid lo-cally. We strongly recommend participating in the activities so you can make the most out of your trip.

These are independent tours accompanied by a tour coordinator who will organise the tour and arrange for any optional activities and meal stops, but will not guide you during the tour. Some tour leaders speak both Mandarin and basic English since tourists on these trips are often Chinese.

WHAt is AN AfricAN sAfAri?

The word ‘safari’ originally comes from Swahili meaning ‘journey’. Nowadays ‘African Safari’ represents a journey into the African wilderness where you become immersed in pristine wild landscapes to observe and photograph

diverse animal species up-close in their natural habitat and to get in touch with local cultures.

• Types of Safari Vehicles • Toyota Land Cruiser with open roof • Nissan Urvan with open roof

• Safari Accommodation OptionsBamba Experience offers accommodation options in Africa that are as rich and diverse as the land and its people. Depending on your preference, you have the choice of sleeping at a basic yet authentic campground immersed in nature or at a beautiful and comfortable lodge inside or near the National Park.

• Camping Option This is the best option for budget travellers! Our camping op-tion includes mostly campsites with shared toilets & showers where you will pitch your own tent and sleep in a sleeping bag on an sleeping pad. Sometimes the camps offer basic permanent tents with beds and mosquito nets. This option is great for keep-ing costs low and experiencing the African wilderness firsthand! Watch the starry night sky after dinner and if you are lucky, you might hear the roar of lions or elephants while you sleep.

• Lodge Option If you are looking for a more cosy option for your African safari, the lodge option is a great way to experience a safari in comfort! Sleep in comfortable lodges with ensuite bathrooms, a high qual-ity 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.
