Witness nature's awakening with over 1,700 spring tours across Africa in January 2001. Perfect weather, blooming landscapes, and comfortable temperatures make this ideal for exploration, backed by 5,200 spring travelers.
WOW WOW WOW, this was the trip of a lifetime! I felt like I got an in-depth experience in each of the countries we visited. I didn’t expect to see so many animals so up-close and I also got to know a bit about some of the local culture and tribes in the areas we visited. Seeing two species of wild apes plus elephants and big cats and zebra and hippos and antelope and beautiful birds was astounding!

It was a wonderful trip and I have many fond memories of it. Everything went very smoothly and I know I'll definitely be going back to Africa!
Our CEO was top notch and so was the bus driver. We had a great time with lots of humor and great experiences.
I also really appreciated the fact that G Adventures showed us “Planeterra” projects. I really enjoyed visiting “Pentuka” and especially “!Khwattu”, and I loved being able to buy things in these places to support these two organizations. Thank you so much!

It was a fantastic experience from seeing amazing wildlife in the bush and witnessing the life that exists in the seemingly unliveable desert.
This, together with the passion and local knowledge displayed by the CEOs made the trip throughly enjoyable. I also enjoyed interacting with our widely diverse companions who are with us on our various stages of Adventures.

I love the combination of the Safari drives, but also learning about local people schools, culture, etc. Our tour guide Robert Marks really made this trip super super special. He was very informative, sure we got to see the big 5+ a cheetah and managed the whole trip so it flowed seamlessly.My one recommendation would be to be clear in the Literature about how rough the drives are and maybe even note something about people with any spinal issues might want to reconsider. Several people on our trip had neck and low back issues and they were very uncomfortable for most of the time. But for me, it was the trip of a lifetime. !

Overall this was an excellent tour. The Cape Town section was great with a wide variety of sites to visit. The lunch at Penguino in Hermanus was delicious and hilarious. The Cullinan Hotel was very good and we appreciated the visit to the District Six museum - an eye opener. However, the transition to Hoedspruit was poor - we were not given our flight times, the flight was delayed for 5 hours, there was no direct communication with Trafalgar. That was redeemed at the Karongwe game reserve - great game viewing (Big 5 + cheetahs in 2 days) with skilled rangers and simple, comfortable accommodation. The food was good except, surprisingly, the meat was tough. The staff there were very courteous and friendly. The brief visit to Johannesburg was very good: the guided tours to the Old Fort Prison and new Constitutional Court and to Regina Mundi church and other sites in Soweto were really great. As former South Africans, we thought this tour gave all of us an excellent, short overview of the Cape, the Bush and Johannesburg. And we appreciated the personalized attention to detail from Trafalgar s guides.

My experience was amazing and took me out of my comfort zone with the onsite camping in the Okavango Delta. However, the people and the experiences we met along the way surpassed any negatives. One other thing I forgot to mention about our CEO was that it would have been more engaging if he had identified various markers along the way. For example, our taxi drive to WDH airport pointed out landmarks and items of interest on our way to the airport that our guide could maybe have identified to enrich our knowledge.

I thought after the first day of cycling I was going to hate this trip, but it got much much better. Being on the ground cycling through the dunes or with a random zebra crashing through a fence and bounding across the road in front of you is an amazing experience. Well worth the sometimes challengin cycling.
