This was a once in a lifetime trip! The amount of things packed into this short time was incredible. The wildlife encounters were beyond my wildest expectations. The CEOs and fellow travelers also made this trip the amazing experience it was.
Fiona M | Traveled in January
Excellent. Amazing memories and I saw a beautiful part of the world that not many get to. I will recommend to all and hope to come back for another leg of the tour another time.
Joanna B | Traveled in January
Fabulous is an understatement. Kind CEOs, a great itinerary, and a new group of friends. I will forever remember the Masaai Mara, gorillas, and chimpanzees!
Claire | Traveled in December
This was truly a great trip. The experiences were simply amazing and once in a lifetime. The Gorilla trekking is simply a must. But be warned there are many early mornings but it's worth it. As a solo traveller, it can be challenging to travel and G Adventures made it possible to visit Africa.
Paresh | Traveled in August
An unreal experience and adventure completely made by the CEOs characters, personalities and energy. Unforgettable trip with the experiences we had, memories made and people we connected with (both on the trip and local people)
