Johannesburg National parks Trips

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!

Kruger National Park was absolutely awesome. We were near the end of the dry season, so everything was dusty, but animals were everywhere. We literally saw thousands of Impalas, hundreds of Elephants, Giraffes, Zebras, and many, many Lions, Water buffalo, elands, Kudus, Hippos, plus lots more. We took in all of the excursion extras, and were very pleased. Our group of 4 would give this trip a Thumbs-Up. Accommodations were pleasant, guides were great, and safari equipment was in great condition.

The whole trip was incredible! Starting off with going to Nelson Mandela’s capture site and learning about the history of the country set the stage for us to fully appreciate all of the towns and villages we spent time in. The highlight of the trip for me was the Hippo and Crocodile cruise where we saw so many hippos (my favorite animal)! The game drives were also successful and we saw the big 5! The best part of the trip was the people though. Our tour manager made sure we all got to know each other early on and now I have a bond with 12 new forever friends. 10/10 no notes!

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!

All of it. Well rounded trip. We so many animals & close up. Tour guide went out of his way to find different animals. Meet indigenous African tribe. Went to cultural events. Meet & ate with locals in their homes. Learned about & tried local foods. Explored the beauty of Africa & so much more.

My 2 adult children and I first experienced Expat Explore on a Greek Island tour 3 years ago. Not knowing Expat, we took a chance and were thrilled with the results. With this in mind, we had no qualms in selecting Expat again for the Safari Tour. What an unbelievable experience. Let by a South African citizen, we got the flavor of the country and environment along with the thrill of seeing all the African animals in their natural setting. We witnessed dozens of zebras, giraffes, elephants,....etc congregating at different times and locations. We saw 18 lions at a watering hole during our night safari, including a white lion cub. We saw a leopard stalk an impala, 4 male lions stalk an African buffalo, and a chetah lead her 4 cubs to a recent kill for feeding. All this at a very reasonable price!
