Rough roads and few western amenities. Because of the areas that we are visiting, the itineraries may well vary from that published. Do not expect the trip to run as published, this is definitely an exploratory style trip. If you want to see the Whirling Dervishes on southbound trips you must arrive in Khartoum a day early. This event occurs in Omdurman on Friday PM. Kitty does not cover food while staying in hotels and hostels. |
