Central America Wildlife safaris and game drives Trips

Fantastic trip but the trip notes need updating. The trip notes say dollars are required but we found we could use a card at everywhere we went without a problem. Using cash in the local currency could tresult in a discount but you have to change to local currency. The itineray is full on as described. It is not unusual in Argeentine or Chile to share a meal and they are huge. It woud be good to know that in advance. It is very windy so windproof clothes very important. If people go with Air Europa it is worth looking at their reviews.

I literally cannot find the words to express how incredible this trip was for me. 15 days of adventure, fun, adrenaline with meeting some of the best people I have ever met. We started as strangers and we left as really close friends. Our Trip Manager made it unforgettable and went above and beyond to make the trip run as smooth as possible for us. Africa is one of the best places I have ever visited and I can’t wait to return with my two sons and husband in the future. It just has so much to offer and I wouldn’t have done it any other way without Contiki. I traveled with my best friend and cousin and the three of us had such a good time. I do recommend taking any second hand clothes or stationary for the families of the township in Cape Town that you wish to donate. I wish I had known more about the townships and how very little they have in life. Really recommend using the card and app Wise as well for multiple country currencies while there. A few hotels are cash less but in saying that very good to have cash for tipping the locals if you want to. Africa definitely changes your perspective with some things in life and I feel very privileged to be able to see it the way we did. I travelled in October and the weather was perfect, warm further north we went, cooler in Cape Town. The animals and the wildlife in the national parks are just out of this world. We saw the big 5 within 2 hours of being at Kruger National Park. Was just mind-blowing and amazing to see them the way we did. Pack a rain jacket, pack binoculars, pack a head torch and neutral safari clothes. Thanks , thanks Contiki!!

Loved visiting the Masi Village and seeing the kids. The villagers sang songs to us and we danced with them. They told us how they live and what they do each day.

Just incredible. Must do adventure! Accomodation was really nice. Many opportunities for Safari’s but they were all a bit different which made each one unique and worthwhile. Adding in the beaches too you get the best of everything. Highly recommend.

I have done a lot of travel and this was honestly the best trip I've ever been on. Every day was full of adventure, beautiful sceneries and unreal experiences. I wasn't sure what to expect going into this trip and only booked it for something different to do, however Africa has turned into my favourite place! I am already planning to go back and do other Contikis there next year.

The trip was great. We saw a good variety of terrains and therefore flora and fauna. Our tour guide was exceptional. He kept us informed and interested in what we were doing and about Madagascar and its people. He showed great care to all of us. The highlight was the variety of lemurs we saw. The best one was when we in the middle of an Indri conversation, so loud, such fun. Travelling in September we were able to see a lot of baby lemurs. It was great to see the conspiracies working and travelling together.
