Johannesburg Tours in January 2026

My experience with G adventures in Africa was once in a lifetime. From the people on the tour to the safaris done in each location, I will never forget my time on this tour. Would recommend to anyone! As a female, I also felt very safe. One note, the whole trip is tent camping, so be prepared! Although upgrades are offered on most nights (excluding 2), they cost approximately 50-100$ so keep that in mind.

An incredible experience that would not be possible without travelling as a group. Despite travelling solo I was never alone and made new friends along the way. The 18 to 30 somthing tours do a great job at bringing like minded people together. I am writing this before I’ve even made it back home after the trip and I am already looking at other 18 to 30 something tours to see what one is next.

Another wonderful trip with Explore! Our trip was delayed due to a British Airways flight and both Explore and the team in South Africa were brilliant at rearranging transfers and getting us to the rest of the group. We were lucky to see three of the Big Five on our first Safari and ticked off the rest later in the trip where we were also lucky to see Leopard on three separate occasions. We covered a lot of ground in a short amount of time and our guide Suzanne and driver Charl were wonderful at keeping us on track and providing useful information. The early starts are needed to make the most of the opportunities to view all of the wonderful wildlife and a good camera with a long zoom and a decent pair of binoculars really make a difference. The accommodation was all very good and excellently placed for the days activities. Stand out accommodation was Sungabala Eco Camp and the beehive huts in Milwane Wildlife Sanctuary. We took every opportunity to join all optional activities to get the most from the trip and enjoyed all of them. As vegetarians we were well catered for and didn't have any issues with any of the options on offer and the breakfast picnics in the bush were always lovely. We were lucky to be a part of a wonderful group who bonded well and we had plenty of laughter with. Having never visited Africa (other than Marrakech) before this was a wonderful introduction to this beautiful country and we can't wait to see more of it.

The trip was fantastic! We saw a lot of animals, got to know different cultures and always felt safe due to our amazing tour guide. The group had a great dynamic right from the start.

Amazing trip. Would highly recommend gadventures. Loved it so much and grateful that my sons were able to experience it with us. Looking forward to doing another tour with you in the future. Keep up the good work.

My first trip with Explore and an overwhelmingly positive experience. Good pre-departure support, a very well organised trip, great accommodation and accompanied by a knowledgeable and friendly tour leader. As a single traveller there was no problem integrating with the other members of the tour and we all bonded in to a great group.
