UK and Britain Active and outdoor Trips

I missed my connecting flight to Windhoek and both local tour company and Explore main office reassured me I’d be looked after which I was. The tour guide and driver was a knowledgeable, capable and really lovely person. She absolutely made this trip unforgettable- her recommendations for our day off in Walvis Bay ( whale watching and 4x4 sand dune trip) were spot on and I’d recommend anyone to do these. The itinerary is full on but you don’t go all that way to sit beside a pool. Everyone who followed my trip were blown away by the diversity and quality of my videos and photos (all of which were taken on an IPhone 16). A small group of 10 was ideal - all like minded people with a sense of adventure.

Peppe was an excellent guide adapting each walk according to the weather. The hotel was in a stunning location with fabulous views over the lake. The picnic stops with amazing views were the highlights along with the ferry trip and walk in Bellagio.

Amazing tour. I can’t believe all the animals we saw… and how close our guide was able to get. KK, our leader, just made the tour with his skills and the care with which he did his job. Lots of great food, and great accommodation, even the bush camping! The team is great and I’ll definitely travel with Explore again.

Amazing trip to Peru - definitely exceeded my expectations! The itinerary covered a wide variety, with the optional tours and suggestions from Darwin, our tour guide, to fill any spare time we had. The hotels were varied (did have a couple of cold showers) but I loved the quirkiness of some of them and all were comfortable. Darwin was superb: looking after us while we adjusted to the altitude, managing to get us into Machu Picchu (no mean feat) despite the protests, answering all our questions due to his extensive knowledge of his country and it's history and always being so cheerful! And a lovely group of people to holiday with - thank you all!

Brilliant experience led by an excellent driver/guide, who was very pleased to share her information and love of her country. Deadvlei, Sossusvlei, Wolvis Bay Etosha National Park full of surprises. Daily news was posted on WhatsApp site, worked well when internet was available, and very useful for packing and preparing for the day ahead. Some days involved a lot of travelling but I enjoyed the 2 nighters with activities. September was perfect weather wise and no need for malaria tablets. Group of 10 was great, truck was our purpose built vehicle and loved raising the roof when waiting patiently at waterholes. Wonderful trip.

This was an epic trip from start to finish. The guides Erickson and Emile were outstanding and so attentive to everyone’s individual needs. The hotels were way beyond my expectations. The porters, the views, the amazing group of people on the trip. I will never forget this experience.
