Why travel with us We understand that there are several options available to you when choosing your African safari. We also know that you want to make the most informed decision about your safari, what you get, what you see and experience, what’s included and which company to book with. So these are just a few of the Sunway qualities and facts:

dear Traveller Welcome to Above and Beyond’s Sunway Safaris. In 1994 Shaun and I started with a minibus, one itinerary and a huge amount of enthusiasm for travel in Africa. Today we are running more than 150 safaris each year on 13 different routes in 10 countries. We have a fleet of custom built safari trucks, offices in both South Africa and Botswana, and are a young, growing company with over 50 employees, all as enthusiastic and passionate about Africa as we are. We operate safaris for the adventurous and young at heart, specialising in small group participation camping and accommodated adventures throughout Southern Africa. We strive to offer travel experiences full of adventure, incredible wildlife, scenic beauty and cultural interaction. We pride ourselves in creating holidays of a life time. our itineraries have been perfected over 18 years of touring Southern Africa with an emphasis on “getting out and doing things”. We offer several easy to moderate walks, mokoro and canoe trails, dhow sailing, game drives, swimming and other activities throughout the various tours. Sunway provides you with a unique experience whether you are a first time traveller or veteran explorer.

Small groups – by travelling with a maximum of 12 people, you are able to witness Africa and have first hand contact with this amazing continent and its people without being a negative influence. This has been a key factor in our continued success. our trips appeal to a wide variety of ages. The average is 37 – with most being aged 25 to 60. The range of travellers gives a variety of perspectives which adds to the experience of each safari. 2 Sunway tour guides – group leaders are the key to any safari. on a Sunway safari you will travel with 2 qualified and registered field guides (Field Guides Association of SA). 2 guides as crew, not a guide and a driver, means interesting trips with maximum knowledge and information. our guides have a passion for Africa, her people and her wildlife, and they love nothing more than sharing their knowledge with you. Guaranteed departures – departure dates on each itinerary shown as bold are guaranteed departure dates. All other departures operate with a minimum of 4 clients. All inclusive price – when I travel myself, I always feel that if I’m in a country I should find and see the best parts. So when planning the Sunway routes we ensure that each trip provides the best inclusions and experiences. For example, if you go to Botswana – you have to visit the national parks in an open 4Wd – it is the essence of the Botswana wilderness. If you tour Zambia, then you must visit South Luangwa nP and do a game walk with a local scout. When booking on a Sunway Safari there are no hidden costs. All of the entrance fees are included, and a wide range of activities, and most meals. We have included many highlights in our tours, so that you will see and experience the highlights without having to pay extra when you get there. So when you decide on which safari company to book with, look carefully at what you’re actually getting. you may only visit a place once, make sure you get the most out of it.

Safety – All of our vehicles are custom built to ensure

comfortable and safe touring. each is constructed, by an authorised passenger vehicle builder, to the latest safety requirements, with a safety shell, and every seat has a lap belt. This gives you peace of mind when travelling with Sunway Safaris on the often demanding African roads.

Responsible Travel - our commitment to sustainable and responsible tourism is reflected in our low impact travel style where all we take is our photographs and all we leave are our footprints. Being an African company we have the grassroots contacts to make a real difference in the lives of the people whose lands we visit. on each itinerary in the brochure you’ll find this symbol which highlights just one of the sustainable travel initiatives that we support.

Solo Travellers – Going it alone won’t make your holiday more expensive; our reservations staff will match you up with another same-gender traveller to keep your holiday affordable. If however you request a single room or tent these are available, with a price supplement experience - We have more than 18 years experience planning tours throughout Southern Africa. As such, our itineraries and routes have been perfected over many years ensuring that your tour will run smoothly. We visit the highlights of Southern Africa, but ensure that you do not follow the well trodden tourist track. All of us at Sunway Safaris have extensive travel experience in Africa, and throughout the world. Being adventure travellers ourselves, we know how to plan trips that give you a broad experience of the countries that you will visit.

Based in Africa – Probably the most important part of a Sunway safari is that we are an African company with offices in South Africa and Botswana. We live in Africa, we travel in Africa and it is our passion for this amazing continent that makes Sunway your best travel option.

ADVENTURE EXPERTS

ADVENTURE EXPERTS We’ve been running safaris in Southern Africa for 18 years. This operational experience is reflected in our attention to detail. When you join a Sunway safari you can be secure in the knowledge that you’re in capable hands.

Your Safari Vehicle: All of our vehicles are bought new and serviced by Toyota and Mercedes agents, thus ensuring trouble free touring with backup support in practically every town in Southern Africa.

Wholesome meals: We create three scrumptious meals per day, as specified in the itinerary, from lunch on the day of departure until breakfast on the last day of your tour. Good healthy meals make happy travellers! The tour leaders do all the shopping and meal planning for each group and will try to obtain fresh produce wherever possible. A cooler box is provided for your drinks. On several nights we sample the fare at local restaurants, which because of individual tastes, will be own expense.

Trucks: African conditions are incredibly diverse and we travel in custom built safari vehicles that allow us to be completely self sufficient on safari. We have put a lot of thought into the design of the Sunway Safaris vehicles and our reliable fleet of safari trucks has proven itself. Sunway trucks are built to conform to the latest safety regulations. Your comfort is catered for with ample legroom and large windows for unobstructed photography.

Limited participation: Part of a Sunway trip is getting involved in general camp duties, it’s all part of your adventure. The guides will provide assistance, but an essential part of your safari is participation – from putting up your tent (on camping safaris) or packing away in the morning to helping with meal preparation, such as chopping tomatoes for the salad or stirring a pot. The group will help do dishes on a rotation basis – when everyone puts in a little effort the trip will run smoothly. Local Payments: A local payment is required on each Sunway safari and this is collected by your tour leader on departure. This covers a portion of local operational costs including fuel, locally purchased food supplies, entrance and park fees. This ensures that a portion of your tour price goes directly into the country you are visiting, benefiting local communities and contributing to the conservation of the area. Repeat discount: There is a 5% discount available to repeat clients, so if you have travelled with Sunway before and are considering another Sunway safari, remember to tell your original booking agent when you book again. Combining tours: If you have more time and want to extend your safari in Southern Africa it is possible to combine certain itineraries. These departures are highlighted on each itinerary. For example you can combine a South Africa tour with a Cape to Victoria Falls trip and have a continuous 40 day safari in Southern Africa. Remember that your second tour will qualify for the 5% repeat client discount!

4WDs: In the national parks of Botswana we will make use of our open 4WD game viewing vehicles which offer unobstructed views and the best possible game viewing experience. Our 4WDs (12+2 seater) are built to the latest safety standards with a built in safety shell and individual bucket seats with lap belts. Game viewing from these vehicles is extraordinary because with the sides rolled up, you feel part of the bush and incredibly close to the wildlife.

Safari Truck (12+2 seater) 1 Huge windows for unobstructed views 2 Roof hatches for viewing 3 An integrated cab & passenger compartment • Interior lights and stereo 4 A drinks cooler box • A luggage locker • Long range fuel tanks 5 2 spare wheels 6 An awning for protection from bad weather 7 A kitchen locker with freezer for supplies 8 A water tank • Gas stoves (minimise environmental impact of wood fires) 9 12/24 V charge point for camera batteries

Minibuses: Where road conditions allow, such as South Africa, Namibia and parts of Botswana we may also use minibuses.

Dossiers: This brochure gives the essential tour information. You can find more details on each itinerary on our website. You can also download a comprehensive tour dossier from the website. This general tour dossier includes details from a suggested packing list to which border posts we cross. If you have any questions, please ask.

ACCOMMODATED SAFARIS

CAMPING SAFARIS

If putting up a tent is not your style but traveling in Africa has always been your dream, we have the perfect safaris for you. For those looking for a little more comfort, but the continued quality service for which Sunway Safaris has become known, we offer a range of accommodated comfort adventures.

Camping in the wilds of Africa is the way to go – it’s an awesome experience to lie in your tent at night listening to the roar of lions or the haunting cry of a jackal! CAMPING - On safari you stay in designated camping sites in national parks, private reserves, private campsites and towns. Facilities are good with hot showers, electricity, clothes washing facilities and generally a bar and restaurant available. Some camps further north can be basic and have limited facilities and simple reed enclosures for showers but do have flush toilets!

Accommodated adventure safaris are based on our proven small group adventure safaris concept, but instead of sleeping in a tent you will overnight in a guest house, chalet, lodge or permanent tented camp. Accommodation is on twin share basis, some rooms with en-suite bathrooms and some with communal ablutions. Varying from twin bed permanent tents in a bush lodge, to a guest house a few metres from the beach. Comfortable, clean and friendly. All linen and bedding is provided so there is no need to bring a sleeping bag.

Sunway supplies all the camping equipment with the exception of your sleeping bag and pillow (available for rent). The canvas dome tents we use are large (2.2 x 2.2 x 1.8 metre), with built in insect nets. Putting them up or down takes only 5 minutes. We supply 5 cm thick mattresses, which are warm and comfortable. The camp chairs have a backrest and all cooking and eating utensils will also be provided. Food is kept in sealed containers and cooler boxes or freezers ensuring fresh and hygienic food preparation.

Grading system: RUSTIC – indicates where rooms either share a bathroom, or where the accommodation available is more basic, for example the grass huts in the Kalahari with twin stretchers and shared ablutions.

In the Botswana national parks we generally use private wild campsites. On wild camping nights there are no facilities. Sunway will erect a bucket shower, with warm water from the fire, and a pit toilet tent. Wild camping is a true wilderness experience and we keep our impact on the environment to a minimum, taking out everything we take in.

COMFORT – indicates en-suite rooms in a lodge or guest house. Accommodation will be comfortable and the establishments chosen for their location and personal friendly service. Details of accommodation for each night are available on each detailed itinerary, or on our website.

It’s not all camping! On most safaris there will be a number of lodge or guest house accommodation nights. The facilities will be modest but clean and comfortable. Generally you will have an en suite twin room but sometimes you will be asked to share bathrooms with another room. Details are shown on each itinerary page. Single camping supplements: Booking solo - you do not pay any more for travelling as a single person. If you are travelling on your own, Sunway will automatically “tent” you with another same gender single person. If however you request a single tent, a limited number of these are available on each camping tour, with a price supplement. This will mean you have a single tent for the camping nights only, when in fixed accommodation you’ll share with another person. Please note that there is a limit of 2 single tents available on each tour.

Meals will be prepared by the Sunway guides and you’ll have roadside picnic style lunches on travelling days. Evening meals we eat around a fire and you’ll be involved in helping the guides prepare food and with cleaning up after meals. With a professional guide to lead your safari and a comfortable bed to sleep in every night you are assured of a fantastic holiday. You will not find a better value for money safari.

Grasslands, floodplains, forests, lily lagoons and winding water channels combine to form a variety of game viewing habitats. Moving north over the sand ridge and into the Mababe depression we arrive at the Savuti Marsh. This open grassland area attracts herds of zebra and wildebeest, which in turn draw the large lion prides for which Savuti is famous. The waterhole near camp is also a favourite drinking point for many elephant and the sunsets here are fantastic. Day 10 – 11 CHOBE NATIONAL PARK [camping Bx2 Lx2 Dx1] The Chobe River flows lazily along the northern boundary of the Chobe National Park attracting some of the largest herds of elephant in Africa.

CAMPING ITINERARY Day 1 KHAMA RHINO SANCTUARY [camping -LD] (B=breakfast, L=lunch, D=dinner) An early start as we depart Johannesburg at 6:30am and head north across the border into Botswana at Martins Drift. The Khama Rhino Sanctuary is a 4300 hectare community based wildlife reserve and is an integral part of the conservation and re-introduction of the white rhino to Botswana. We arrive in the late afternoon, set up camp and enjoy a game drive in search of rhino, zebra and wildebeest. Our evening is enjoyed around a campfire and we fall asleep to the sounds of the African wilderness. Day 2, 3, 4 CENTRAL KALAHARI GAME RESERVE [camping BLD] The Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) is one of the largest game reserves in the world (52,800 square kilometres). Made famous by Mark and Delia Owen in the book Cry of the Kalahari, its remoteness, unforgiving climate and harsh terrain have kept it pristine and untamed. This reserve is characterised by vast open plains, saltpans and ancient riverbeds. During the summer months, when the rains fall, the Kalahari grasslands turn green and lush and the good grazing attracts large herds of zebra, wildebeest, springbok and gemsbok (oryx). Following the herds we hope to find the Kalahari lions. We use 4WD vehicles to visit the northern portion of the reserve and camp wild for 3 nights. Day 5 MAUN [camping BL-] Our next stop is Maun, the gateway to the Okavango Delta. Here we restock on

provisions and enjoy a swim in the pool, a cool drink in the bar and a restaurant meal (own expense).

Relax as your poler expertly guides your mokoro (canoe) through the winding channels of the delta. Camp is set up on the islands under a towering canopy of trees. We set out on foot for morning and evening game walks with local guides. During the heat of the day, time is spent relaxing in camp or swimming in the clear delta waters. Birdlife in the Okavango during the summer months is spectacular with all of the summer migrants returning to this water wonderland.

The following day is free to enjoy the range of adventure activities including river rafting, bungee jumping and the Flight of Angels over the falls (own expense). We sample the local cuisine at a variety of restaurants in the evening (own expense). Day 15 TOUR ENDS [ - B--] Tour ends at 8:00am after breakfast. Transfers to local airports available.

Day 8 - 9 NXAI PAN [camping Bx2 Lx1 Dx2] We return to the “poling station” and continue with our 4WD to the vast fossil lake beds which form the unique and beautiful Nxai Pan National Park.

One of a few parks that is best in rainy season, we spend the next two days on game drives hoping to spot large herds of springbok, gemsbok and zebra. The seven giant trees that form the famous Baines Baobabs are a highlight of the visit.

CAPE TOWN

JOHANNESBURG

SOWETO A must whilst in Johannesburg is a half day tour of SOWETO. The South Western Township was created during the apartheid era and now many people choose to live there – some 3-5 million people inhabit Soweto. Most of the population are middle income earners, living in small box shaped brick houses. Only 10% of the population live in poverty but in contrast Soweto also has the highest concentration of millionaires in the country. On the tour you will visit a shantytown.The shacks have electricity, there is running water and the council even collects rubbish once a week! You will talk to the locals and may be invited into their homes or schools. You will see Barragwanath Hospital (the largest in the world), the local market and the largest taxi rank in Africa. The Hector Pieterson Museum was established to preserve the history and the memory of all those who were involved in the Soweto uprising of 16 June 1976. Soweto has the only street in the world where two Nobel Peace Prize winners live. Nelson Mandela’s house is now a Museum, but Desmund Tutu still lives here. Learn much more about the history and what it is really like to live in Soweto (past and present) from our guides.

The tour can be booked on arrival in Johannesburg. Departs daily (except Sunday afternoon) at 8:30am & 1:30pm Soweto tour $95 per person
