Africa Explorer Tour Reviews
Genuine reviews from travelers on Explorer Africa tours
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.
Philip | Traveled in February
We had a wonderful tour leader caller Yasser who had an excellent knowledge of egyptology. We learned so much and had an enjoyable, intetesting and varied holiday. There was a good balance between scheduled activities/visits and optional ones.

Mussa and his team were fantastic - encouraging, supportive and attentive, especially on that final summit hike! I’m also glad I went on the safari extension- Godwin couldn’t have been more informative and engaging. A great trip all round that will live long in the memory.

A very late review from an excellent trip. Aged 53 I have to say this has been one of the best holidays and travel experiences I have been fortunate enough to go on. Wife and son (11yrs) also loved it. The accommodation is what you expect from a proper travel experience. The culture naturally very welcoming. Lead Guide - totally outstanding. Next level customer care, great with all families, explained everything with passion and depth of knowledge. Never have we had that level of commitment, positivity and enthusiasm, day in and day out. The drivers are highly experienced, very charming and helpful. It has been a superb way to show a different side of life, culture and reality to our 11 year old. The experienced was soooo good, I have not stopped bleating about it to friends. Really embrace what the travel adventure is, practice some Arabic and you will come back with the same buzz that we did, with a hint of sadness as it was all over !! We have since booked another holiday with Explore. Extra that we wished we added, potentially an extra day and night in or around Morocco. One of the lovely families we joined on the adventure (4 families in total) went on and stayed at a beach location after with water park, one went on for extra cookery course and others for other adventures. We will return to Morocco for a long weekend. Easy destination to get to. I could go on, but all other reviews will cover similar points. Highly recommended. Our guide, Omar, truly outstanding. An absolute credit to Explore.
