Africa Active outdoor Tour Reviews
Genuine reviews from travelers on Active outdoor Africa tours
Anonymous | Traveled in February
This was our first experience with Explore and one of our first experiences doing group travel. Both exceed out expectations. The itinerary gave us an excellent mix of experiences and locations. Our guide was exceptional, providing excellent information, giving us choices where possible, and being very attentive to the group. The accommodations, while varied, were consistently good and tied to local businesses. We look forward to more tours with Explore in the future.

Fabulous trip.Excellent itinerary with time to cram in extra visits independently.Our guide was amazing and incredibly knowledgeable.He shared information with such enthusiasm and looked after us well.Nile cruise was great with lovely food.All 3 hotels were perfectly located.Sadly the breakfast food at our hotel in Luxor was low quality and it was difficult to find food that was pleasant to eat.Would certainly recommend this tour.
Patricia | Traveled in February
Our Explore leader, Assan, was one of the best tour leaders I have ever had and I have been on over 40 Explore trips. He was so helpful and considerate and his knowledge of Senegal and the Gambia was excellent. He also was exceptionally good at identifying all the different birds we saw. He worked very hard to ensure we had a great time which ofcourse we all did.
Norman | Traveled in February
Assane was a fantastic leader, very knowledgeable and organised and always with our best interests at heart. He helped us understand not only the wildlife we were seeing but provided great insight into the culture of Senegal and the Gambia and what living there was like.
Anne | Traveled in February
The whole experience was wonderful. Well planned, good pace, good balance of activity and time to relax. Tour Leader was especially knowledgeable and imparted so much detail about the ancient Egyptian Pharoahs and their customs and practices. Loved the Nile cruise. Delicious food. Cairo museum was outstanding. More time needed to enjoy the exhibits. Would thoroughly recommend this trip.
