disabled travel



"...The holiday was truly an amazing experience. Like many other people I have adventure stories when I was younger, and you never think you will be in that situation yourself, even less when you are disabled. The Epic Enabled provided a real opportunity to experience a sense of adventure..."

EPIC EXPEDITIONS has been running since 1992 as an overland company. We have seen very few "Enabled" travellers enjoying the wide range of pleasures as an "overlander". Being aware that there are many “Enabled” people who are able and wish to experience the same sense of adventure and thrill which "overlanding" has to offer - the concept of EPIC ENABLED was born in 2001.


EPIC ENABLED
has tried to combine the spirit of adventure which the “overland” traveller enjoys - that is to expect the unexpected - but at the same time traveling in a highly planned and carefully structured way. This “Enables the Disabled” traveller to enjoy an “expedition of a lifetime” tour. Teamwork is an important factor in helping to create a caring and understanding atmosphere.


EPIC ENABLED AIMS to promote the knowledge and awareness of, not only Southern Africa, but also the leisure interests available on tour to the handicapped travellers by:
* Offering affordable opportunities to experience the African Wildlife and Cultures.
* Offering specially designed adventure opportunities whilst on Camping Safari.
* Conducting the tours in a comfortable and safe environment.
* Offering the most appropriate level of care to each individual, at the most economical cost possible to the client.
* Continual commitment to good quality and service standards.
* Constant review of accessibility levels in transportation, accommodation and places of interest.
* Raising environmental and accessibility awareness through positive interaction with communities.
* Raising funds in order to provide financial support for the cultural communities. (read more on the “community” page)
