Africa Tours and Trips

A really busy programme with plenty of variety and so many moving parts. Everything worked seamlessly - multiple boat trips, meals out, etc expertly organised. A lot of bird watching opportunities!

I recently experienced an unforgettable Egypt tour that exceeded all my expectations. The journey began with the breathtaking Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx—truly iconic and awe-inspiring wonders of the ancient world. A visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) complemented this perfectly, offering incredible artifacts and a deep dive into Egypt’s rich history. The Nile cruise was a highlight, with stunning river views, luxurious comfort, and an amazing crew who provided exceptional service at every moment. Every detail was taken care of, making the experience relaxing and memorable. Don’t miss the awe-inspiring Abu Simbel temples — a spectacular sight that is truly worth the visit. Other gems included a magical hot air balloon ride over Luxor at sunrise, offering unparalleled panoramic views of the Valley of the Kings. The Nubian Village visit was equally enchanting, providing a warm cultural experience with friendly locals and vibrant traditions. This tour offers the perfect blend of history, culture, and adventure, delivered with outstanding service throughout. Highly recommended for anyone eager to explore the wonders of Egypt!

We had a very enjoyable 12 days with a very interesting programme but there were very long journeys and the seats in the van were too narrow for the average European - if you were a solo traveller and managed to secure a double seat, you were lucky. Seat Rotation was more challenging and needed to be more organised in rotating the seats on a daily basis as some of the group didn’t sit in any of the front seats. The Guide Assan was excellent and quickly resolved any issues. Mustafa our driver was a very quiet and safe driver over challenging road conditions. There was a limited menu as most of the accommodations were off the beaten track. However, no-one in our group had a problem. Fish was frequently on the menu.

Thoroughly enjoyed this trip to Morocco and would recommend. The route takes you across much of the country, with varied landscapes and so much to see and experience. It is quite a fast paced itinerary with a fair amount of road travel, but it is well organised and there is also downtime where you can explore some places at your own pace - I felt I was given enough information to be completely comfortable exploring alone (I was a solo traveller on the trip) and I always felt completely safe even in the busy medinas. Our tour leader Mohamed was very friendly, helpful, and always ready to share information about the country and answer questions. The local guides used were also good. Our driver Amin kept us all feeling safe and comfortable on the sometimes long drives (which have plenty of breaks built in). I returned feeling that I had had a fantastic taste of the country, and would be happy to return there to explore more.

The Ultimate Tanzania Holiday Our Kilimanjaro hike and safari combination was simply outstanding. The guides on the mountain were patient and caring, ensuring we were safe and comfortable throughout the climb.

A lot of travelling but always breaks planned in. Worth it to stay three nights in Mole National Park. So much variation with seeing the King of the Ashanti and the people there - so much colour with beautiful Kenti cloth robes and traditional music instruments. We visited weavers and craft workshops and were appalled at the conditions that slaves endured in the coastal castles. I did feel that 16 was too many for the bus and one night we were unable to stay in the planned hotel as they did not have enough free rooms.
