Active Galapagos, July 2017

Ingrid Salna

Beautiful place to visit to see the array of flora and fauna. Well worth the effort.

Gorillas & Game Parks, July 2017

Simon Smith

A trip full of awesomeness, tons of wildlife spotting and the gorillas were amazing. A LOT of time spent on the road, but the trucks very comfy and when you do visit any of the parks the amount of wildlife outweighs the journey time. Most nights you have the options of upgrading to a room with a real bed ($20-$50) but the tents are good and everyone loves a decent campfire!

The Masai Heartlands, July 2017

Vincent Trapani

Combo trips tend to include a lot of doubling-back to the starting point, note this when booking because it means you will lose days traveling in the same areas you have been already.

Explore Southern Africa, June 2017

Kristina Temple

This was a great trip the Rhino tracking, parks in Botswana and Zimbabwe, the Okavango Delta and Victoria Falls did not disappoint. It was a shame the Rhino sanctuary was omitted otherwise I would have given this trip 5 stars.

Gorillas & Game Parks, July 2017

Julie Kent

This was the most memorable trip of a lifetime. The animal experiences awe-inspiring, the Gorilla experience life changing and soul nurturing, the people experience heart expanding and perspective challenging, and the service from our Tour Leader John, our Driver Ben and our cook Wilson, simply outstanding! Just go do it! Yes there are long days driving but it's all worth it. Just make sure you read the Trip Notes so you know what to expect, then you won't need to complain about the long drives. ;)

Vic Falls to Cape Town, June 2017

Diane Evans

This trip delivered on all aspects, wildlife, scenery, food and camping was great. Fantastic itinerary which did not feel too hurried or crowded despite the distance involved. Camping is the best way to be immersed in the African environment, not too onerous to put tents up and down on a regular basis, and chances to upgrade if you prefer (I loved being out in the open)!
