East Africa Wildlife Tour Reviews
Real traveler feedback from Wildlife tours across East Africa
Anonymous | Traveled in May
A fabulous trip giving us the chance to experience the beauty of rural Transylvania. Our guide Raz and driver Geo made the trip extra special by sharing their experiences of the history of the country and they went above and beyond expectations in looking after us. We were a small group of 7 with 4 ebikes so the cycling was easy and we kept a consistent pace. It was good to stay in a mixture of guest houses and hotels, with 4 excellent included meals. Raz organised group meals for the other evenings. The only minor negative points were one hotel where the staff could do with a lesson in customer service! and it would have been better if the bikes had mudguards.

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!

Wonderful itinerary. Guides were knowledgeable and patient. Machu Picchu Hotel was very loud with trains, parties and fumes from the trains. Galapagos was one surprise after another. The final hacienda hotel in Quito was breathtaking. By far my favorite accommodation. Great trip.

Peru - a beautiful country. Inca ruins, salt plains, an unforgetable boarding the train and Machu Picchu. Cuzco has so much to offer. Guide was fantastic amd passionate about his country Ecuador has stunning cathedrals and beautiful scenary. Galapagos islands were incredible. So much wildlife seen and lovely to see the conservation efforts for tortoises and other species. Was also amazing to see the Blue footed boobies doing their mating rituals and the frigate birds nesting. Completely unforgettable full on trip

Excellent trip overall. Using Explore enabled us to see a lot of interesting places in a relatively short time without dealing with any of the travel logistics, tickets, hotel booking that we'd have had to do if we'd gone independently. The hotels are quite mixed - some excellent, others less so but all had great central locations. Our tour leader was good. She was very organised, easy to get along with and helped to create a harmonious group which added to how much we enjoyed this trip.
