Southern Africa Active and outdoor Trips

Thank you to Diego for going above and beyond guiding us through Argentina and Brazil so informatively, attentively and with a great sense of humour throughout the tour. An excellent trip combining the highlights of these two countries - l would recommend the boat trip at lguazu Falls. llha Grande was a tropical paradise island.worth visiting. Only downside is that l would have preferred 2 nights at the eco lodge La Cantera hotel as it was such a lush, beautiful location. Apart from this, everything was amazing😊

Really enjoyable trip. Superb mountain scenery. Definitely a part of Argentina less visited by European tourists. The music evening at the local pena was a great night out. Lucia, our guide was brilliant and ensured everything went smoothly.

Amazing tour made perfect by a fabulously knowledgeable and attentive tour guide (Miguel Vasquez). Great itinerary and even tho we did the ‘reverse’ think it was the best way round. Antigua at the end was the icing on the cake. Great mixture of adventure, nature, history and local culture. Food and drink good too. Accommodation is good some exceeded my expectations but not enough to warrant ‘excellent’. ..

It would be good to spend less time driving but I can’t see a way around it.More time in Medellín would be nice.The hotel there was lovely but very out of the way.We arrived by 3 but did nothing that afternoon which was partly our fault.My preference if staying in that hotel would be for the guide to take us to the nearby subway station and suggest an interesting close neighborhood to go to for us to walk around and eat dinner.He did point out the station from the bus but in that concrete jungle all we were able to find was an uninteresting mall.We did a lot of interesting experiences but I would recommend that the botanical garden be included and skip the cooking class and shorten the coffee experience in the coffee region.

Inside Vietnam was more than I expected. The Vietnamese are a smiling, welcoming people. Our guide Diem did a wonderful job of introducing us to his country. Through his knowledge and stories I came away with a much clearer understanding of the recent history of Vietnam. My fellow Explore travellers were a joy to be with. A wonderful trip. A fantastic experience.

The week was most enjoyable as we were fortunate to have an excellent group of fellow Explorers. Our guide/leader, Mehmet is passionate about his country, sharing his knowledge of the region, cultural & nature. He cared for our enjoyment, safety & ensured our needs were met. The driver too, was as likeable.
