Truly amazing Southern Africa
4 - Very Good
“Southern Africa had a lot to offer and lots of wonderful wildlife. The first leg of the tour went through Namibia and there were less people on the tour and therefore the vehicle used was comfortable as we each had two seats. The accommodations overall were good and some were really good. The Gondwana properies were fantastic and in amazing locations. For the second we left straight away and only had two and half hours in Windhoek... It would have been great to have a day to explore there. On this leg of the trip there were more people and I think a vehicle with sixteen seats is too small for eleven passengers plus a guide. This is a comfort tour and with lots of driving should have more seating. As the group got bigger communication was harder due to lots of questions by the no listeners, which meant loss of time and also a lot of focus placed on them. I ended up missing out on Zip lining at Victoria Falls which was the only activity I had my mind set on for this leg of the tour. Food overall was great but became repetitive after day ten. Makgadikgadi had the best food on this leg. This tour is mainly long days of driving and less activities so it is important to have time at each location to stretch, explore and not all stops offer this. Finally, the tour guide Bonnie and Shadrack were friendly and professional, and made the trip more pleasant.”
Great trip. Lots of ground covered

“Loved my trip. My 4/5 stars is nothing about the way the travel specialist runs the trip. It’s more about the pace, ground covered, and therefore limited time at any location. 21 days and that much distance left me feeling like we only got to see 2-3 hours of sunlight in some locations. Possibly cutting out a spot or two, or staying on faster, more well maintained roads, might help get to more locations quicker and with more time to explore.”
Such a great holiday!

“This was our first guided group tour so were a little unsure of what to expect, but the minute we met Justin our guide any uncertainty melted away. He met us with a warm welcome we were at ease immediately. Justin made the tour for us, he was informative and knowledgeable, enthusiastic with endless patience and went out of his way to ensure that we all had the best possible experience. The accommodation was always interesting and varied in great locations, we loved every minute. This a great trip with a safari, whale watching (in season) caves, wine, mountains beaches and of course Cape Town. We were sorry when it ended!”
