Africa Cultural, religious and historic sites Trips

Two minor gripes. 1) It would have been nice to have been warned that the hotel in Cairo did not serve alcohol. 2) Explore should advise its clientele that a visa should be purchased at Cairo airport. The so-called e-visa offered by the embassy involves wrestling with an outdated website which frequently crashes, and requires a photograph of the passport at a resolution far lower than any smartphone will offer - I had to set my scanner at the lowest resolution possible to produce a file which the system would accept. Otherwise, things were great - especially the guide who went the extra mile to ensure that a visit to the Luxor workers' tombs was possible on the morning of our departure when officially her duties were complete.

Had the most amazing time. Mohamed showed us a lot of fascinating places and explained the Moroccan way of life. He was an excellent tour guide. Some people had problems with their accommodations. Mohammed got these issues dealt with quickly and efficiently. Mohamed was enthusiastic, energetic, positive and very helpful. He explained everything very well. Kind, considerate, responsible! He is an excellent tour guide. We enjoyed the diversity of the country. Each day was another new and exciting adventure. We learned a lot. The riads were a true Moroccan experience and the hotels were also very nice. The Moroccans were polite, respectful, helpful and very friendly. We are truly are grateful to have had this experience in Beautiful Morocco. We enjoyed the small group experience and met nice people on our tour.

A very enjoyable tour with an exceptional leader in Yousra Barka. There was a lot of travelling time in the bus but I wouldn't have missed the night in the desert at the southernmost point, both for the Berber camp and the driving!

Excellent trip with plenty of opportunities to see the wildlife and countryside of South Africa and Eswatini. We had a brilliant guide in Sam who was friendly, fun, caring, very well organised and very knowledgeable. During our tour we saw all of the Big 5 many times and learnt about the wildlife, peoples and culture of South Africa and Eswatini. I highly recommend this tour.uk

An excellent tour of Morocco with a wide variety of activities and experiences staying in beautiful riads. Highlights include the stunning blue city of Chefchaouen, the stunning landscapes around Ouzoud and the delicious meals cooked in private houses.

What an adventure! This holiday is not for the faint hearted as it really is a full on tour but came away feeling like I had seen and experienced so much that other people would not! We experienced so many varied masked dances and genuine experiences that words cannot describe…. Our guides were incredible and thoughtful as well as great advocates for West Africa and made me want to visit other countries. As long as you go with an open mind and don’t expect the hotels to be of a European standard you will love this tour.
