I would highly recommend the Morocco trip to anyone! This was my first group trip and I had an amazing time. The activities and places you visit on the trip are great - especially the Sahara! Driss, the tour leader, was fantastic - he was really knowledgeable and super helpful. I wish I could go back and experience it all over again.
My trip to Morocco was an unforgettable experience, filled with rich culture, warm hospitality, and incredible moments that I will cherish forever. From bustling cities to serene landscapes, every stop on our journey offered a deeper connection to the country and its people. One of the most rewarding aspects was the opportunity to truly immerse myself in the local culture—spending time with local families, learning about their traditions, and gaining insights into their way of life.
The highlight of my trip was undoubtedly the medina in Fez. Wandering through its winding alleyways, surrounded by centuries-old craftsmanship, vibrant markets, and the hum of daily life, was like stepping into a living piece of history. Every turn revealed something new and awe-inspiring, making it an experience I’ll never forget.
Morocco’s culinary scene was another standout, with flavors as rich and diverse as the country itself. From aromatic spices to slow-cooked perfection, every meal was a delight—but if I had to choose a favorite, it would be the goat tagine. The depth of flavor and tender texture made it an absolute must-try!
This journey was more than just a trip; it was an adventure filled with connection, discovery, and unforgettable memories. I’m incredibly grateful for the experiences and the amazing people who made it so special.

This tour was well run and for me a completely different cultural experience. I could relax and just go with the flow knowing everything was taken care of by the amazing tour leaders who were so very knowledgeable and caring. Their job is so difficult and I appreciated them both so much. My life has been forever changed got the better by visiting these countries thank you to everyone at Expat.
Ramez is a really nice and kind person. He is really knowledgeable of the history of Egypt. We went to all of the most important sites and he explained all their history. The drivers and the security are great. We were made to feel safe and cared for. Ramez took into consideration our needs and made sure they were met. We had a lot of fun, and we were left with amazing knowledge about Ancient Egypt. I will probably recommend this tour and our guide to my friends and family.
Peter Helmy, our tour leader, was insightful. The temples and other sites we visited were all stunning but Peter succinctly summed up the history of the places and made us appreciate it even more. Although our tour group came from different parts of the world , I am sure we all Love Egypt and will cherish our experiences.

Vast National Parks full of wildlife, an orphanage for elephants, a Maasai village and an ancient volcano: this isn't a film plot, it's just a taste of what East Africa has to offer. We've included all our morning and afternoon game drives in all the national parks including the Maasai Mara and Serengeti for your best shot at seeing the Big 5, and even better, you'll be driving through valleys and plains in our top of the range open-top vehicles (with an epic 35-45s crew) and staying in some of the best lodges and luxury campsites for the ultimate safari experience.
You can reel off the names of the Big 5, you've imagined yourself driving through the Serengeti in an open-top vehicle, and you've dreamed of going on safari since you first learnt how to say 'Hakuna Matata'. How about we throw in some views of the Great Rift Valley, a visit to an ancient volcano dense with game and predators, and nights camping under the star-swept skies of the Serengeti plains? Now this is the 35-45s Africa trip you've been waiting for.
