Africa Eco Tours

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 The so-called e-visa offered by the embassy involves wrestling with an outdated website which frequently crashes, and requires a photograph of the passport at a resolution far lower than any smartphone will offer - I had to set my scanner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!

Alfred was our tour guide, and I can't explain how wonderful he made our trip! Along with our driver, Alphonso, we were guided on an amazing epic adventure. They are both very knowledgeable, professional, and FUN!!!

This trip was life changing. The opportunity to see so much of the continent through amazing excursions and with like-minded people was incredible. The trip really exceeded all of my expectations! Everyone we met both in Africa and those who traveled with the group were all so kind and joyful. I would do this trip over and over again.

This trip was amazing! We did so many things and saw so many animals that I never thought we would see in the wild. All the safaris whether it was on land or river, were incredible. Different every time we went out. The lodging was all 5 star except the Tlou Lodge, but it was clean and they tried their best. Just not equipped for groups, but couldn't be helped because of the fire at the original place we were to stay. So this was a last minute substitute. The second half of our tour which was wine country, Cape Town and the Cape of Good Hope was a nice balance to the time in the outback. We loved Cape Town. Overall it was a great trip. Highly recommend. We were sad to come home.
