FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions: Africa
Our most popular itineraries are 12 days, but we offer itineraries as short as 5 days and as long as 30 days.
Six to 18 months prior to departure is highly recommended. However, if we have availability, we can get you ready for a trip in as little as 30 days. Keep in mind that our trips typically sell out months before departure.
“Personally, in a place like Charleston, SC or Savannah, GA, I’m constantly fighting the mosquitos with a DEET-based insect repellent! They love me!! In contrast, in E. Africa I rarely feel the need to use bug spray. That said, for sun and insect protection, I do wear long sleeves, long pants, closed toed shoes, and mid-calf socks, and with this set up I never feel the need to reach for the insect repellent (I do carry it just in case). Also, I do not personally treat my clothes with any repellant. For those determined to wear short sleeves and shorts, I’d highly advise applying bug spray as a precaution.” –– Benjamin Walls

Founder
"The goal with WALLSabout is not a great vacation, the goal is a life changing experience."
Benjamin Walls is an internationally recognized artist, founder of four successful startups, and an ardent conservationist. His dedication to connect people to the natural world has also led to the founding of WALLSabout Luxury Travel. “I believe there’s nothing more inspiring than our last great wild places — my mission is to reconnect people to those places in dynamic fashion. I do that with my artwork in my galleries, but WALLSabout™ is unique because it allows me to curate a three dimensional experience. The goal with WALLSabout is not a great vacation, the goal is a life changing experience."
