Johannesburg National parks Trips

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.

An amazing tour from start to finish. Our Tour Manager was excellent, all accomodations exceeded expectations and we saw more animals in their natural habitat than I ever imagined. There isn't one thing about this tour that I would change.

THIS was amazing!! I did no research before picking and just knew I had the right group! Samantha made the entire trip feel like home (but with a bunch of wilderness animals). We were educated and pampered, fed like family and saw amazing animals, beauty and family! I have already told so many to go with Collette land and water and ask for Samantha!! The time of year seeing baby animals was such a blessing. I hope to go back in few years.

There were so many great experiences it is hard to single one out. Seeing herds of Hippos and Elephants on the first day, and the shear number of Elephant herds we saw, to having Elephants wander up to drink out of the pool.

We saw a T-shirt in Africa that said “it’s not a holiday, it’s an adventure!“ This sums up exactly what this trip is about. Although it took some stamina to camp the entire time and the bus trips were long to get from destination to destination, this was an adventure like no other. Spinning, two nights roughing it in Okavango Delta was magical and we heard lions roaring at night. Our guides were outstanding and the food was better than I could possibly expect, especially since our cook did it all in a campground the safari walks and drives did not disappoint! Because we were there in July, the nights were bitterly cold, but we stayed cozy in the tents. This is definitely a trip for those seeking authentic adventure, but not for those who are uncomfortable with idea of sleeping in a tent for 10 days. Our Guide Pappy was, always so patient and so thorough with all of us and was a wealth of knowledge about the region. I love this trip, but it definitely is not for those unused to roughing it or are expecting luxury.
