North Africa Wildlife safaris game drives Trips

I thought this was an excellent week, with beautiful walks in spectacular scenery and almost no other hikers; fantastic flora and the excellent guide explained lots about the wildlife and history of the region which I hadn't known much about. The local staff were very hospitable and it's hard to see how the week could have been much better

Beautiful scenery- forests, mountains,wildflower meadows. If you like getting off the beaten track you will love this. Enjoyed the evening meals in the hotel. Our group would meet for drinks on the terrace beforehand. It was a fun and sociable week.

We had a wonderful trip. I have wanted to visit Namibia for many years and it lived up to my hopes and expectations. It was made all the more special by our excellent leader, Kastro, who looked after us so well. He was knowledgeable, caring, an excellent driver, great at spotting animals, with a good sense of humour - a true ambassador for his country. The lodges and hotels were great accommodation; all very different in atmosphere but very comfortable, though we found Hammerstein very cold. We would have loved another night at Otijwa to enjoy the calm and elegant surroundings. The itinerary was full and varied and we enjoyed all the different elements - informed all the time by Kastro's commentary and explanations. Explore provided excellent trip notes which helped in the planning and anticipation of the trip. I would recommend that it would be better to suggest taking South African Rand in currency rather than USD to save having to find somewhere to change them. It might be good also to recommend a jacket as well as a fleece for the cold mornings, and I found my collapsible walking poles very useful on a couple of the longer walks.

This is a fabulous trip if you love hiking and being in nature. In the whole week we only encountered one other person on the trails, so lovely. The terrain was varied with some longer ascents and descents but our efforts were rewarded with lovely views. Although there were 14 of us in my group we were all of a similar pace so the walks were very enjoyable. The accommodation was of a good standard and it was so lovely to eat traditional Bulgarian and local speciality dishes everyday. There was plenty and the choice of desserts every night was a real highlight. I highly recommend this trip. Go ahead and book it. You will not regret it!

We had a wonderful week of hiking with a group of strangers who quickly became friends. The hotel was perfectly adequate, though not fancy, and it was convenient to have a breakfast buffet each morning. Our guide, Spaska, made the experience much richer by sharing her knowledge of Andorra's history and flora. She was warm, friendly and quick to laugh. She kept our safety paramount, and made smart decisions about routes and options. I would recommend this trip, and hope to do another Explore trip in the future!

Sydney our guide was excellent. He is very knowledgeable about the area, culture and history both actual and geo-political. He is also a very good cook and jolly person to be around. I rate him 10 out of 10 and would highly recommend him as the guide to my friends taking the tour!
