East Africa Active outdoor Trips

I have traveled the world in the past 35 years with various tour companies. Because of our guide, ALTHEA, this has become my favorite trip! The itinerary is excellent and Althea turned 15 strangers into good friends by the 2nd day. Hopefully Althea will be your guide in Malta - she’s enthusiastic, well-versed in the culture and history of this amazing country. There is something for every traveler in Malta, and having this exceptional guide made every road trip and stop meaningful. All travelers appreciated Althea’s talents, kindness and organization. When the weather was poor or big crowds anticipated, Althea smartly rearranged the day’s activities for our comfort. This is never a boring, canned tour experience. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

David our tour leader made our holiday the best ever. He was very professional with a great sense og humour. Borja was excellent ..always ready with drinks and snacks. The itinerary was as described but even better. Hotels wonderful. The cycling great for me with an e bike..woukd have been too difficult without. Overall brilliant.

Thoroughly enjoyed this trip and has been one of my favourite trips with Explore. The wildlife has been magical and it was amazing to see such an abundance of animals just on the doorstep of the lodges we were staying in as well as on the tours. The group was a fantastic bunch of people and our driver Haimer was a real gentleman. Our guide Allan was so passionate and it came across in his vast knowledge of wildlife. He was a great organiser and very patient and a pleasure to be around. Thanks again Explore for another fabulous unforgettable experience!

Loved this trip. We had a few early starts, covered a lot of miles, but it was truly excellent. The trip lets you see some truly amazing sights that will live a long, long time in the memory. All the cities we stayed in were quite different from each other, which means every stop is a new experience. Man Mo temple in Hong Kong, limestone karst peaks, River Li cruise, Xi'an city walls and town, Terracotta Army, Great Wall of China, Forbidden City, and Tiananmen Square. All in one trip with more stuff on top of that. With spare time in the evenings in Xi'an, I recommend seeing the Bell and Drum towers lit up, absolutely stunning, and then get a meal in the muslim quarter which is super lively at night with tons of choice. If you fancy a real highlights of China trip, this does the trick. My only problem with it is that I liked it so much I want to go back and explore more of the country. We were super lucky to have Tracy Zhang as our tour leader, the loveliest person who looked after us extremely well. Her suggestions on what time is best to get to a particular place to avoid the busier period were all spot on. I could have happily had a few days more in Xi'an and Beijing. But you can easily add on more time to yourself in Beijing at the end if you wish. Getting about on your own there is easy and inexpensive on the metro. Loved it.

A very enjoyable week with a great guide taking us to a wide variety of historic sites and places on the two islands. It was great to see the contrasts between the two islands, and to learn all about the various peoples who have controlled these places over the last thousand years and before.

It is a nice full experience to see both the North and South of Spain. A lot of the optional excursions were good. The bus drivers and our tour director did a great job. Sometimes it felt rushed with just 1 night at a location, but it was cool to see so many cities in 18 days
