North Africa Desert safaris Trips

We had an amazing trip to Northen India, with the best guide, Kartike. There were so many highlights from out trip. Visiting the Taj Mahal at sunrise was magical, seeing such an iconic building in real life was a really special moment. The forts and palaces we visited were huge, something you don’t realise until you are in these special places. In Ranthambore National Park we were lucky enough to see a tiger, leopard and sloth bear on our safari and when we were in Chambal Sanctury we saw pink river dolphins , memories of these moments will stay with us forever. Pushcar city had a great market to explore and the lake was beautiful, we felt like we had stepped into traditional Indian life. Varanasi was like stepping back in time and experience we will never forget.

This was an amazing tour, that was well organised and varied. The tour leader Indu (Inder) was excellent , very knowledgeable and helpful , as were the team on the bus Ali and Rakesh. We have come home with lots of wonderful Memories and will definitely be back to explore more of India.

Another great holiday with Explore. Inder was a brilliant leader, very knowledgeable and always helpful. The itinerary was well balanced between history, nature and religion with some great local experience.

Had a fabulous trip - thanks to Explore for the full and varied itinerary and to Inder for being our superb tour leader. He guided us with great skill and went above and beyond to help make the holiday so special. He had great patience and was constantly checking that no-one was left behind after each opportunity to take photos of the amazing architecture. He took us to many good (and inexpensive) restaurants and although we packed in many different experiences we never felt rushed. We were also lucky to have an excellent driver Ali, and Rakesh helped look after us on the minibus. As a result of this trip, I hope to experience many more Explore holidays.

I had India on my list for a while and kept finding reasons to delay it. I am now very happy I finally got myself there. I can home with very good memories - Indu (tour guide) took good care of us and worked hard to make sure we were safe, well fed and experienced the best, navigating around traffic and fog. I am definitely going back to see other parts of the country!

This is an amazing tour. So varied with so many different experiences, many hectic and full on but also some relaxing days in wonderful locations. Sanjeev was an amazing tour leader and guide, he went beyond expectations to make sure we all enjoyed everything on offer including very interesting explanations of the history, the religions and temples and the amazing food. There were a lot of highlights including a walk through the bazaars at Jaipur, everything about the Pushkar Camel Fair, relaxing at Chambal Safari Lodge and the Hindu ceremonies at Varanasi. Perhaps surprisingly even the overnight trains mixing with Indian travelers were a delight. Highly recommended.
