This tour was amazing! Definitely a must do! As usual, Expat manage to cram so much into such a short amount of time without making it feel rushed! Matt, our Tour Guide, made sure everything ran smoothly and made sure this experience was the best for everyone. His knowledge of South Africa and all of the animals in Kruger was phenomenal. The accomodation was very clean and comfortable, and the included meals were absolutely delicious. If you're heading to South Africa, this tour is a must!

A safari that lived up to and exceeded expectations. Our guide KK was very experienced and knowledgeable. Quote from another traveller on their 3rd safari... "don't bother with another safari Joyce; you will be disappointed". Lying in our tent at night listening to hyenas, elephants and other non-identified animals is something we will never forget, nor will we forget watching lions moving into the shade of our vehicle as we watched them walking in the sand. The lovely lodges that were also part of the package and two nights on the Okovango River made for a fabulous diversified experience. Thank you Explore!

The tour was fantastic and the tour manager was incredible. One issue was the flight from Johanesburg to Zimbabwe. I believe the airlines was called FastJet. They left my wife's luggage and 8 other people's luggage in our group at the Johannesburg airport because they said they were over weight. Needless to say, this was a real inconvenience to my wife and others. The tour manager did everything she could do but the luggage did not arrive until the next evening. This was a terrible way to start our vacation. The airlines should be reprimanded.

It really was a once in a lifetime trip! We experienced so many things and did so many activities that it felt much longer than just three weeks - but in the best way possible!

From the moment we arrived in Maun, every day brought another highlight - it will be hard to find another holiday which tops this one. Just outstanding from start to finish

You are exceptionally lucky to have Andrew K as your guide on this trip. The trip is made by him. He is totally professional and goes well out of his way to deliver well above quality experiences. He is knowledgeable and passionate about his country. He is humorous and kind and always delivers his best.
The long drive from Drackensburg mountains to St Lucia, via Battlefields is too long and should take place over two days.
Mlilwane camp is a bit inauthentic.

We saw a T-shirt in Africa that said “it’s not a holiday, it’s an adventure!“ This sums up exactly what this trip is about. Although it took some stamina to camp the entire time and the bus trips were long to get from destination to destination, this was an adventure like no other. Spinning, two nights roughing it in Okavango Delta was magical and we heard lions roaring at night. Our guides were outstanding and the food was better than I could possibly expect, especially since our cook did it all in a campground the safari walks and drives did not disappoint!
Because we were there in July, the nights were bitterly cold, but we stayed cozy in the tents. This is definitely a trip for those seeking authentic adventure, but not for those who are uncomfortable with idea of sleeping in a tent for 10 days. Our Guide Pappy was, always so patient and so thorough with all of us and was a wealth of knowledge about the region. I love this trip, but it definitely is not for those unused to roughing it or are expecting luxury.
