Georgia L. | Traveled in December
This trip was incredible, and I can't wait to do it again! It was my first Contiki tour, and it certainly won't be my last. I highly recommend this trip, especially the safari. Our tour guide, was fantastic! His knowledge and passion for the job made the experience even more enjoyable. I truly appreciated everything he shared and his dedication to making our trip memorable.
Nanette B. | Traveled in November
The tour was amazing. The most memorable experience was the tented camp, with Elephants drinking from the pool. Monkeys everywhere and being able to look out the doors and see wildlife all around.
Kim H. | Traveled in November
Coelette did a fantastic job making my dreams come true. The safaris were excellent and so much fun!!! I recommend the Cape Town extension and tour or the peninsula. Small group let us all get to know each other which enhanced the experience. I can't say enough about how amazing Thuka and Shuie, our guides, were. They made this trip unforgettable!
Neleh S. | Traveled in November
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.
Johanna | Traveled in October
I have done a lot of travel and this was honestly the best trip I've ever been on. Every day was full of adventure, beautiful sceneries and unreal experiences. I wasn't sure what to expect going into this trip and only booked it for something different to do, however Africa has turned into my favourite place! I am already planning to go back and do other Contikis there next year.
Anonymous | Traveled in October
This trip was such a good blend of the tourist highlights and local culture. I really liked the bushmen activity...it was so eye opening and a beautiful experience. Deadvlei was also incredible to see.. there is truly nothing like it. Every day we saw something new...Namibia is just so diverse with all it has to offer.
