Genuine reviews from travelers on Getaways and short breaks Africa tours
Aimie | Traveled in February
Excellent trip even though it was only 3 days we seen and done so much in those days. It was enough for anyone short on time in Cairo and wants to cram as much in as they can.
Julia | Traveled in January
I am very glad I added on this mini adventure to my main tour in Egypt! Our CEO, Aziza, was incredible and I absolutely loved all of the activities. The catacombs and monastery we visited were particularly incredible. I am so glad G Adventures offers this mini tour!
Mimma Zut | Traveled in September
Totally amazing guide and driver. We had such a great time exploring the beautiful Cape Verde with this tour. The cooking experience in a traditional home was a wonderful experience. Our guide spoke awesome English and was so knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend.
Roland T. | Traveled in August
The tour of Santiago island in Cape Verde has been amazing! We visited some fantastic places and local people. This was possible thanks to our guide who was very friendly, and well prepared. We would do it again and highly recommend it for future visitors!
Veronika | Traveled in March
Very well organized and arranged. All Kurt Safari staff went to great lengths. Accommodation and food all very adequate. Was expecting to see more animals. The grass was pretty though and there is plenty of water in the park.
