Excellent. Trip of a life time. Very interesting loved to seeing the animals in their natural habitat but the cultural aspect that were the included aspects but also the additional paid excursions. Many of the expert added guides were very very good adding lots to the trip. I especially liked the guide/researcher to the Namibia in the desert who took us for a tour in the desert describing how the flora and fauna survived without rain etc.so very interesting. I also enjoyed the tour in the Botanical Garden in Cape Town, very interesting but too short. The only caution is that if you take this tour, you need to be aware of the long rides, usually necessary due to the isolation of some sites, and lots of early mornings. Always need to be prepared for lots of tipping on a daily basis. Overall, would highly recommend

When we first booked the tour we did not know what to expect, as this was our first organized tour vacation. Then we arrived at the airport and everything just started to fall in place. It was very smooth transition into vacation mode. Meeting our fellow travelers and our CEO kicked off the tour with a bang. We immediately connected with everybody which made the experience that much better. Our CEO was extremely knowledgeable and shared a lot of information throughout the trip. He was one of the reasons that made this trip so special. Actually, all of the G Adventures staff that we got to meet, were fantastic.
Having the local moments during our tour were some of the highlights. I never expected to be tour travelling as enjoyable and will definitely use G Adventures again.
Thank you for making this a truly unforgettable experience. Way to go G Adventures!
Although we experienced an earthquake it was handled very well by our tour guide, Hassain. He made sure we were safe and it didn't affect our trip too much.
I had no issues with the service provided by G. Great as always. My issues were with being there during Ramadan and some of the restrictive Islamic rules -- something that G can't do anything about. ?
Adventure in premium style from the vibrant streets of Amman to the magical landscape of Wadi Rum and world wonder of Petra.
Float on the Dead Sea before bathing in its healing mud. Flying to Cairo, stand in awe against the Pyramids and roam its chaotic bazaars. Ride to bustling port city of Alexandria and stand beside the ruins of the Great Library of Alexandria. Taking a comfortable flight to Luxor, sail the wonders of the Nile for 5 days on a Nile Cruiser.
Loved it. This is our second National Geographic Gadventure. We did exactly what we came to do. All our COs were fantastic. Will do another trip with Gadventures in the future.
This was an excellent trip in April 2022 - great itinerary, so much culture, fantastic guide (Tarek) and such delicious food on the Nile boat. I loved every minute of it, and so glad I went. Particular highlights for me were the temples at Karnack, Valley of the Kings, the food on the Nile boat and the yellowness of the sandstorm that engulfed us on our way back from Abu Simbel! It is however, not a trip for the faint-hearted. There are LOTS of early starts. Almost every day was a start before 7am and on a couple of days, it was up at 3am. There is LOTS of walking, I think I did about 27 miles in the 9 days - to/from temples, round museums, in/out of airports, to/from local markets etc. Personally, I am not sure I would label this as 'leisurely' - yes, there were no hills to climb, but it was often uneven, sandy ground we walking on and when I went, Egypt was also going through a heatwave, so it was 43 or 44 degrees every day. I ignored some of the optional extras so I could have some down time on the boat. I would also add that in additional to the 'essentials' listed on the what to take, you also need: sunhat, scarf to cover your shoulders and women need to wear a long skirt for the day they are going into the mosque in Cairo. Refillable water bottle and light/comfortable walking shoes - very essential! Also, take US dollars as your main currency (small denominations and not ripped notes). You will need some Egyptian pounds for some of the attractions, but everywhere they just want hard currency - even at the local markets. Final word of advice - don't bother with the extra walk INSIDE the pyramid in Cairo. It is near vertical, baking hot and nothing to see at the end of it. My legs were wobbly for hours afterwards. Overall, this was a totally amazing trip though and hope you enjoy it.
This trip was both adventurous and relaxing. The amazing game drives were capped off by returning to very comfortable, mostly luxurious, accommodations with delicious food and pools set amongst wildlife and nature. Good informative conversations with our guide, driver and other guests were very welcomed. This trip has been and dream of mine ever since I can remember. Thank you to G for making it come true!
