Fez to Capetown with Oasis
Oasis Overland的点评
点评：This trip was a nightmare. 27 passengers left on two trucks from Fez. We had two drivers but only one guide with very little experience. The truck was dirty and all the tyres were bald, some with metal showing. The truck treated drinking water was permanently cloudy.
On day three in Chefchouan it rained heavily and our Oasis provided tent leaked badly, all our clothing and sleeping bags got soaked. That day one of the drivers had two accidents. Clipped the wing mirror of a vehicle and then hit a pedestrian getting into his car. The Pedestrian was badly hurt and was hospitalized. We made o formal complaint to the tour leader that clearly the driver was not competent to be driving a truck of this size. He was continually driving too close to the outside of the road. The following day after a bald tyre went flat and was changed, another accident occurred when we hit a concrete barrier on a straight open road. 5 had minor injuries and two serious. The truck was badly damaged One died a week later and the second 3 weeks later. This was day five. 23 of us were piled onto one truck. An issue with the remaining truck was the inside facing seats, making viewing very poor, especially if the person opposite you chose to kneel and further block your view. After the accident Oasis introduced a compulsory seatbelt rule which should have been there from the outset. Rules were very loose in general and not enforced in any way by either the guide or driver. Because of this several left which gave us a little more room.
This trip was 100% camping. The downside of that was we often “bush camped” in the middle of nowhere and whilst Morocco was good with respect to visiting their wonderful cities, things got pretty grim once we got into Western Sahara and Mauritania. Bush camps have no showers or toilet facilities. It was hot. The personal hygiene standards of some were average at best and very quickly you had to work out who not to sit next to. The food standards were appalling. Even if you liked canned tuna it wears thin. Meals were incredibly basic. For six weeks there was continually a bug going around. There was always someone not feeling well. The daily grind in the heat of packing up camp, driving, shopping, setting up to make lunch, driving again, stopping to set up camp, cooking, cleaning up was doable, but we were seeing very little with respect to the local people, their customs and interesting sights. There were some exceptions, but in general at best it was difficult because of where we set up camp.
Six weeks in there was a coup in Guinea Bissau. My wife and I decided it wasn’t safe and left the truck and flew to Conakry. The truck traveled (safely) through which was good. However we picked up a private tour and very quickly realized how little we’d been seeing on the truck. We enjoyed it so much we spent six weeks on our own and instead of taking 20-30 photos a day I was taking 200!
We caught up with the truck on the border of Ghana and Nigeria. We were a little shocked to see how tired everyone looked. The guide had fallen out with the driver and had been replaced. We were also shocked that very few were wearing seatbelts and there was no enforcement whatsoever. The driver must have had a bad night as he drove like a maniac for the first 30 minutes. The other passengers said “he gets like this when he’s angry”. We were wondering what on earth we had come back to???? Because the guide didn’t travel in the back with the passengers, I informed her of the lack of seatbelt usage and asked if there had been a change of policy? She passed on to head office and the following morning read out a message from head office stating that while everyone was required to wear seatbelts, she wasn’t going to police it and that we were all adults and it’s up to us! A massive argument broke out and it was clear that I was the only one that thought it was an issue, and people shouldn’t have to wear seatbelts if they didn’t want to. My issue on a side facing seating setup, is that if we stop suddenly, everyone flies forward and takes out the passengers alongside you. It’s a death trap as was proved by the fatal accident two months earlier.
Three days later I received an email from head office stating they had decided to remove my wife and I from the truck, as was their right according to the contract we had signed. We were in SE Nigeria at the time, very little public transport and an airport that only flew domestically.
In all honesty, we were happy to go. The culture that had developed was toxic. Passengers would sleep much of the day in the truck and drink at night. The disregard for safety from Oasis was completely unacceptable with zero lessons learned from a fatal accident. We’ve stayed in West Africa and organised own tour. We should have done that from the outset. We’ve seen twice as much as a result. We’ve kept in touch with a couple of the passengers and by the time they get to Capetown they will have their third inexperienced guide and will be down to 10 passengers. Others that have left that we keep in contact with all say the same thing. “We will never do another Oasis Overland trip again”. That is perhaps a little harsh. But avoid at all costs a side facing seating arrangement, and also avoid 100% camping. You need to stay closer to cities or villages where hotels are located so you at least get the opportunity to meet the locals and experience the sights. And avoid trips that don’t take a designated cook. We can all help with the preparation and cleaning up, but long trips with terrible food is hard work. Looking for one positive. After the accident Oasis replaced all six bald tyres on the truck.

翻译：这次旅行简直是一场噩梦。27名乘客从菲斯出发，乘坐两辆卡车。我们有两个司机，但只有一个经验不足的导游。卡车很脏，所有轮胎都磨损严重，有些甚至露出金属。卡车上的饮用水也一直浑浊不堪。
在舍夫舒安的第三天，下起了瓢泼大雨，我们入住的绿洲提供的帐篷严重漏水，所有的衣服和睡袋都被淋湿了。当天，其中一名司机发生了两起事故。他先是剐蹭到一辆车的后视镜，然后又撞到一名正要上车的行人。行人伤势严重，被送往医院。我们正式向领队投诉，指出该司机显然不具备驾驶这种大型卡车的能力。他一直靠路肩行驶，离路肩太近。第二天，一个磨损严重的轮胎爆胎更换后，我们又在一条笔直的开阔道路上撞上了水泥护栏，再次发生事故。5人受轻伤，2人重伤。卡车严重受损。其中一人在一周后去世，另一人在三周后去世。这是第五天。我们23个人挤在一辆卡车上。剩下的那辆卡车有个问题，就是座位都是朝内的，视野很差，尤其是对面的人跪下来挡住视线的时候。事故发生后，绿洲旅行社强制要求系安全带，这本来就应该一开始就有。总的来说，规矩很松，导游和司机都没有严格执行。因此，有几个人离开了，我们才稍微宽敞了一些。
这次旅行全程都是露营。缺点是我们经常在荒郊野外“露营”。虽然摩洛哥的城市很美，值得一游，但到了西撒哈拉和毛里塔尼亚之后，情况就变得非常糟糕了。野外营地没有淋浴和厕所。天气很热。有些人的个人卫生状况最多只能算一般，你很快就得琢磨着不要跟谁坐在一起。食物质量差得令人发指。就算你喜欢罐头金枪鱼，吃多了也会腻。饭菜极其简陋。六周以来，车上一直有病毒肆虐，总有人感觉不舒服。每天顶着烈日收拾营地、开车、购物、准备午餐、再次开车、停下来搭帐篷、做饭、打扫卫生，这些繁琐的日常工作虽然勉强可以完成，但我们却几乎没有机会了解当地人民、他们的习俗和有趣的景点。当然也有一些例外，但总的来说，由于营地的位置，我们能体验到这些都很难。
六周后，几内亚比绍发生了政变。我和妻子觉得那里不安全，于是离开了卡车，飞往科纳克里。卡车（安全地）通过了政变，这很好。然而，我们参加了一个私人旅行团，很快就意识到之前在卡车上看到的是多么少。我们非常享受这段旅程，于是独自旅行了六周，我每天拍的照片数量从之前的20-30张增加到了200张！
我们在加纳和尼日利亚的边境追上了卡车。看到每个人都那么疲惫，我们有点惊讶。导游和司机闹翻了，被换掉了。更让我们震惊的是，几乎没人系安全带，而且根本没人管。司机前半夜肯定心情不好，头30分钟简直像个疯子。其他乘客说“他生气的时候就这样”。我们当时都懵了，心想我们这是怎么了？！因为导游不坐在后排，我把安全带使用率低的情况告诉了她，问她是不是政策改了。她把情况转给了总部，第二天早上她读了总部的一条信息，说虽然所有人都必须系安全带，但她不会强制执行，我们都是成年人，系不系安全带由我们自己决定！我们为此大吵了一架，很明显只有我一个人觉得这是个问题，不想系安全带的人就不应该被强迫。我对侧向座椅布局的担忧在于，如果突然刹车，所有人都会向前冲，撞到旁边的乘客。这简直就是个死亡陷阱，两个月前发生的致命事故就证明了这一点。
三天后，我收到总部的一封邮件，说他们决定将我和妻子从卡车上赶走，这是他们根据我们签署的合同所拥有的权利。当时我们在尼日利亚东南部，公共交通非常不便，机场也只有国内航班。
说实话，我们当时很乐意离开。车上已经形成了一种糟糕的氛围。乘客们白天大部分时间都在卡车里睡觉，晚上喝酒。Oasis公司对安全的漠视完全不可接受，而且他们似乎并没有从那起致命事故中吸取任何教训。我们后来留在西非，自己安排了行程。我们一开始就应该这么做。结果，我们看到的风景比之前多了两倍。我们一直和几位乘客保持联系，等他们到达开普敦时，他们已经换了第三位经验不足的向导，队伍里也只剩下10位乘客了。其他已经离开的乘客，我们一直保持联系，他们都说同样的话：“我们再也不会参加Oasis Overland的旅行了。” 这话或许有点苛刻。但无论如何，一定要避免选择侧向座位，也不要选择完全露营。你应该选择靠近城镇或村庄的酒店，这样至少有机会结识当地人，体验当地风情。还要避免选择没有指定厨师的旅行团。我们都可以帮忙准备和清理食物，但长途旅行吃着难以下咽的食物实在太难熬了。不过，也有一些值得欣慰的地方。事故发生后，Oasis公司更换了卡车上所有六个磨损严重的轮胎。
