East Africa 4x4, quad and ATV Trips

I went to Jordan because my husband wanted to see Petra, but the country had so much more. The people, the culture and the history from over 9000 years before. Our guide was excellent, thank you Mo. You were kind, made history accessible without overwhelming us with information. Well worth arriving a couple of days before to get a feel for Amman and the people. and R&R at the end at Aqaba and Dead Sea was most welcome(safest snorkelling trip we have been on)

My first holiday with Explore and certainly not my last. What a wonderful experience and with a great knowledgeable leader. Pace was full on as described but that meant we packed more places into our time there. If I had to find a negative it would be the standard of breakfast in our Petra hotel ( Edom). There wasn't enough variety compared with the other two hotels we stayed in.

The organisation of this trip by Explore! was second to none. From booking a night pre tour, right to the end, everything just worked. Mo, our tour leader was friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to go the extra mile. The Toledo Hotel in Amman was a great start, the Edom hotel in Petra was of a lower standard but still clean and comfortable. Salem camp in Wadi Rum was much more comfortable than I'd imagined and the My Hotel on Aqaba was great. We saw wonderful things and Mo organised restaurants and side trips, such as camel ride and snorkelling in the Red Sea. The coach was the most luxurious that I'd ever been on! Al in all a fantastic adventure

Just returned from the Jordanian Discovery tour. The itinerary was excellent and covered the main sites plus a couple of extras thrown in by tour leader Abdallah. He was a fantastic tour guide. Kind, knowledgeable, well travelled, great communicator and great sense of humour. If you are lucky enough to have him as your guide you’ll be in great hands. I can see why he was voted Explore’s tour guide for 2025. Anyone thinking that Jordan isn’t a safe place to travel would be wrong in thinking that. Sadly Jordan has lost 80% of their tourist trade so they really need people to visit. The local people are really friendly and Petra main site was quiet compared to how it used to be, so it’s good for anyone visiting but not for the Jordanian economy sadly. I met some lovely people in the group and as I said before, Abdallah was by far the best tour guide I’ve had. Get out there and visit Jordan if you’re still deciding what to do!

amazing experience, Petra is mind blowing. Hotels excellent apart from the substandard catering in Edom Hotel, but made up for the location only 2 minute walk to the visitor centre. Mo the guide was second to none and Ali the driver did us proud with luxury coach and excellent driving despite some long journeys. The desert experience was great fun especially the sun set and star gazing with great hospitality by the Bedouin people. Did the camel ride and really recommend. Fantastic day at the Red Sea with brilliant boat trip and snorkeling organised by Mo recommend to all future travellers. Great hotel over night stay. Time at the Dead Sea was wonderful and would have loved to stay there longer over night in the hotel and transferred from there to the airport rather than go back to Amman. Perhaps that would be possible by including Little Petra tour in the first day, something to think about. So glad i travelled with you and a great bunch of people on the trip. Thank you.

The hotels generally were extremely spacious, clean with lots of amenities available. My only reduced point was the availability of fruits across the board in all of the hotels at breakfast. The night in Petra was amazing but felt a little rushed in both the experience and light show in explanations through the life ages in the changes in Petra. This was quite expensive. One possible option that could be added to make it a 10 day holiday is that of the option to stay overnight at hotel and SPA in Aquba at the dead sea resort to enable more time to enjoy fully and pool. Overall the whole experience,was amazing and was of the exact mix of site seeing experiences alongside explanations of the historic events associated. The best atribute to the experience and company of Explore was due to our tour guide Mo.The warmth and knowledge,care of our tour guide Mo was outstanding and went above and beyond. He ensured that everyone was included all needs were met and offered suggestions/pointers of other areas/sights/restaurants to explore.
