Georgia D. | Traveled in August
Well thought out trip, you definitely get to see almost all the South African highlights in a quick time frame. I would definitely budget to do all the add on activities because they are so worth the money. A great first solo trip to Africa for me!
Anonymous | Traveled in August
This was a fantastic trip - our group saw the Big 5 in one day! So much wildlife and baby animals to spot in August, and the climate was comfortable. Be warned that you will join an established group halfway through their trip which can make it difficult to break into the friendships. Overall, a fantastic experience!
Trev | Traveled in August
Exceeded all our expectations. Tour leader (Joe) was excellent: locating animals, knowledge of all animals (birds to elephants) with great driving on sandy roads and network of other guides. We saw elephants, Giraffe, hyenas cheetahs, painted dogs, rhino and many, many more. Scenes of a pride of lions tucking in to breakfast, hyenas trying to steal a pack of painted dogs kill and a herd of elephants passing tentatively in front of the jeep made the trip really memorable. Wild camping in the middle of the reserve with animals passing through was fantastic. Best to take USD in cash (we took $1,500 which was fine to include tips). Good itinerary but think houseboat would have been better in Chobe. Camp food was good. Expect early (leave at 6.30am) game drives to have the best chance to see the wildlife.
Mehmet Yılmaz | Traveled in August
We chose this 2-day tour for a short weekend trip, and honestly it was much more than expected. On the first day I entered Tarangire National Park, I was overwhelmed to see huge elephant herds, zebras, giraffes, and lions. The guide explained to us all about the animals. On the second day, while descending to the Ngorongoro Crater, the whole scene is like a dream world - seeing black rhinos, lions, hippos, and innumerable gonos together is a truly amazing experience. Although time was limited, I didn't expect to see so much together. Perfect tour for those who want to taste Africa in a short time.
Lydia H. | Traveled in August
The whole reason I did not travel much was because of the stress it usually caused. I can never actually enjoy my trip. However, my brother took a tour with CharlieTheTraveler and recommended them. I was pleased to find out that I did not experience any of the normal stress of traveling—instead, the company had planned and organized almost everything for my trip to Morocco. I wasn’t familiar with the country, but that made no difference as the tour guide provided was an expert. I felt safe while going on each daytrip. The mosques we visited were my favorite, as that was unlike anything I have where I live.
Derrick L. | Traveled in August
This trip was more than anything I could have dreamed! I knew I was in for a ride, but the way Contiki laid it out and had us on our way was top-notch! I would do it all over again in a heartbeat! I was able to step out of my comfort zone while crossing off my to-do list! Met some amazing folks, had an incredible Trip Manager, and have loads of memories (and pictures) to last a lifetime! I can't say enough about how much I loved this trip and honestly, have not shut up about it since returning home!
