East Africa Small Group Trips

Lovely trip to the Albanian Alps and lucky to have a great bunch of people in the group too. The treks were correctly graded at moderate. A good level of fitness and confidence walking on uneven terrain is needed. Accommodation was basic but better than I had anticipated. Albi was a great guide, who had to juggle the capabilities of quite a diverse group. He needs new jokes though ;-) Transport to and from guesthouses wasn’t always great. We didn’t always have working seat belts and one occasion there wasn’t evening seats for everyone. If eating in the evening as a group with vegetarians/intolerances, I’d recommend steering away from fixed menus as they really aren’t catered for. The individuals are left with basically a veggie soup and salad ending up being relatively expensive for what they had.

Hiking in The Dolomites was my first trip with Explore and exceeded all expectations. The organisation during the trip was faultless, with a clear itinerary for each day and transport tickets and packed lunches organised by our guide Jasmin. The group members were great, with people from all over the world and an age range of 19 to 70+. Our guide Jasmin was outstanding. I would definitely look at other trips she is guiding and consider booking. She looked after every one of us so well and you could tell that she was genuinely passionate about the areas we visited.

excellent trip. great insight into rarely seen places, especially Macedonia. I'm an archaeology fan and I was delighted with the site visits and museums. Our tour leader Yane was a delight - warm, caring and highly capable.

Loved my hiking trip in the Dolomites. Jasmine our guide was great. She adapted the itinerary to suit the weather forecast and managed the different needs of the group. The scenery is stunning, the walks were perfect. Travel was trouble free. Accommodation was good and the food was plentiful. Loved the village of Dobbiacco. Would recommend this trip

The trip was excellent. I’ve not travelled with such a large group before so found that tricky at times but our leader Margareta managed the different elements in our Group expertly. Always ensuring everyone was included and informed of what we were doing.

Well organized trek in a beautiful area of Morocco. Tour guides were very helpful along the way. We took the longer 7 day trip and it was well worth the extra time and money!
