The travels starts from Khartoum the capital city of the country where the passengers arrive by plane. If necessary we spend the first night and usually also the last one, in a very good hotel (4****). Our groups are small, with a maximum of 15 passengers (for desert expeditions) and each group is led by an european or sudanese tour leader, speaking english. The staff is is local and not always speaks an European language. We use 4WD cars as Toyota Land Cruisers or Nissan Patrol Station Wagon and full camping equipment or our permanent facilities (depending on the itineraries).

  During our journeys will be used 4WD cars (Toyota Land Cruisers and Toyota Hilux Double Cabin).  The cars have 4 doors plus a hatchback with maximum 4 passengers per car plus driver The engines are diesel with 4,2/4,5 lt. , 6 cylinders .  The coil spring suspensions ensure a high comfort level, also during the off-road parts of the itinerary, so the stages are not tiring. All the vehicles are supplied with air-conditioned and a roof-rack to transport the passenger’s luggage. For the longest tours we use also a pick-up vehicle to carry all the equipment.

The most part of the journeys are made on desert tracks, but all the conditions of safety are guarantee.

We remember therefore that due the travel conditions (far away from big towns), delays or small problems, can occur.

Cold lunches at midday picnic style (tomato salad, cheese, ham, tuna fish, fresh fruits); a folding table will be used. During the overnight stays at the Meroe permanent Camp and at the Nubian Rest-House in Karima the breakfast and dinners at will be cooked by professional cooks.

The meals will be of international dishes, but local food will be also prepared.  If not available water in bottle, we use water filters. The more common local foods are: "full" broad beans soup, "fasolija" beans soup; "chai", tea with spices, very good and rich of flavour.

During the expeditions the breakfasts and the dinners are prepared by the cook at the camp.

The overnights in Khartoum are usually planned in 4/5***** hotels (Grand Holiday Villa, Rotana) or in good 3*** hotels.

In Meroe the overnights will be spent in the permanent Camp in two beds tents with private separate bathrooms.

In Karima the overnights will be spent in the Nubian Rest-House in twin rooms with private bathrooms.
