Africa Tours in September 2026

Trip was absolutely amazing. One of the greatest experiences of my life. Tour guide was the best and helped made the trip what it was. Loved the accommodation, activities and food. Don't wait. Go on this trip now.

We loved this cycling tour in the Atlas Mountains. Our tour guide and support crew were attentive and tireless, the food was delicious, and the hotels were comfortable and clean. The camel ride through the desert to and from the camp was magical. There is a lot of time in the van, but for the most part it was manageable. We will definitely look to Explore for our next cycling holiday.

Cycling from the Atlas to the Sahara gave us an excellent chance to see that part of Morocco, from both the bikes and the van. The routes chosen for cycling were safe and offered great views. The tour guides were very friendly and helpful. The bikes were comfortable and appropriate for the terrain. It was fun to move from the cycle saddle to the camel saddle when we reached the Sahara. Unfortunately most of the cycling happened in the afternoon when the temperatures were at their daily peak, but the van was always nearby with water refills. And picnic lunches were in what little shade could be found. I'd highly recommend this trip to those who are confident cyclists; it's not for the casual cyclist who is not comfortable riding occasionally with traffic or on uneven surfaces, or speeding down long descents. I typically don't use tour companies for bike touring but I'm very happy we went with Explore in Morocco.

This was quite a challenging tour, but we were well rewarded for our efforts. The highlight was the camel ride out to the desert camp with the sunset and sunrise over the dunes. A once in a lifetime experience. The guides were knowledgeable and attentive. Other reviews mentioned they were disappointed with the accommodations, but they were fine. The bs were comfortable and the air conditioning worked. The food all the way along was great. Very fresh. Overall we had a great time.

What an epic adventure! Some of which must be attributed to our excellent tour guide Joe, who was assisted throughout the trip by great and friendly support staff at the camp sites and lodges. The number of animals and diverse birdlife seen totally exceeded expectations. There's a lot of travelling and camping without home comforts, however we felt this was made very clear in the holiday notes and in some ways added to the experience in a positive way. A special mention should also go out to William, Pape & Carlos who some how churned out a succession of really good three course meals just using a camp fire!

This was a fantastic experience. We saw so much amazing wild life particularly lemurs and chameleons. Charles our tour leader was inciteful, a true gentleman and took great care of the group. There were some uncomfortable long road trips due to the poor state of the roads with many pot holes. The hotels with the exception of Relais de la Reine were not luxurious but served their purpose. However, the wildlife we saw made it all worthwhile.
