This itinerary was a great way to see all the highlights Egypt has to offer. Along with a fantastic Tour Director this is the perfect trip for anyone interested in the history. Part of the itinerary was a cruise on the Nile. The ship and crew were fantastic and it was easily one of my favorite parts. With daily stops and chances to bond with other Travellers it was so much fun.
This Trafalgar tour includes both ancient history and current day industry. It was very interesting to see how they make different items today in Egypt.
The food provided with the itinerary was great, options for everyone.
I highly recommend this itinerary.

The Mini safari Tour starts at 7.30am where you will be picked up at your hotel in Durban or the Umhlanga area. We then proceed and visit the Lion Park, a breeding scheme for Lions in an enclosed area which we drive through with the windows and doors locked. Here you will have a chance to come into close proximity to Elephants and Lions.
Our next stop is The Birds Of Prey Rehabilitation Center where visitors are introduced to the wild variety of majestic birds. Here a local Guide will explain the lifestyle of the birds, reasons for why the birds are there and when the birds will be set out in the nature.
We then move to Tala Game Reserve where you can experience exceptional game viewing in either our Land Rover 4x4 or Toyota Quantum vehicle. We suggest you carry a picnic basket as we will stop at a picnic area on the lake where you can enjoy your lunch with the view of the Hippo family.
After lunch we continue game driving where it should be possible to spot rhinos, giraffes, zebras and many other wildlife animals. We move through the beautiful Valley of a Thousand Hills to the Phezulu village to enjoy a glimpse of local Zulu culture and dancing at the Zulu Village, accompanied by a local Zulu Guide.
At the end of our tour we visit the Reptile Park where qualified park guides will have you intrigued with facts about the resident crocodiles and snakes. Finally we return to Durban passing through the wealthy area of Durban in the evening.
Join us on this 6-day Tanzania safari trip and explore some of the most popular national parks in Africa. Visit Serengeti National Park, famous for the annual migration of more than one and a half million wildebeests. Travel to Lake Manyara National Park and see its famous tree-climbing lions.
The size of Lake Manyara makes it perfect for a one-day game drive. However, the national park is also known as being close to the Ngorongoro Crater. This trip also includes a visit to a Maasai boma (village), the Mto wa Mbu Village and the Olduvai Gorge, an important paleoanthropological site that has provided invaluable information to the understanding of human evolution.
End your safari trip at Tarangire National Park, which features some of the highest concentrations of animals in Tanzania ( this national park is second only to the Ngorongoro Crater area when it comes to the number and variety of animals) but is less crowded than other popular safari destinations.

This unique 9-day Egypt tour starts in Egypt’s capital city of Cairo, before we head to the scenic cities of Aswan and Luxor. The tour is set to fall in line with the Sun Festival held at Abu Simbel’s Temples twice yearly.
Abu Simbel was built by King Ramses II (c.1279-1213 B.C.E.). He wanted its internal chamber to light up twice a year – the first time on 22 February, on the anniversary of his ascension to the throne and the second time on his birthday on 22 October.
In the early 1960’s, the entire temple complex was moved to higher ground when the Aswan Dam caused Lake Nasser to rise and inundate the area. The two temples were dismantled and raised over 60 meters up the sandstone cliff where they were reassembled, in the exact same relationship to each other and the sun, and covered with an artificial mountain.
Now, every year, the temple faces east, and at the solstices – twice a year – the dawn sunlight is aligned to light the entire length of the temple entrance corridor, lighting up three of the four statues at the end of the corridor. Only the statue of Ptah, the god of darkness, remains in darkness.
Once we arrive in Cairo, we’ll explore the Great Pyramids and the towering Giza Sphinx, before we make our way to Aswan to explore the island-based Philae Temple and the Aswan Dam.
Our trip to Abu Simbel starts early, as we aim to be at the monument before sunrise. It will be busy, but it's very organised and everyone will have a chance to go inside to see this magnificent spectacle.
After witnessing this unique experience, we’ll head back to Aswan as we set sail on a traditional felucca sailboat for a peaceful cruise on the tranquil waters of the Nile River, as we head to Luxor. A support boat will join us every now and then, which includes a welcome toilet, showers and a massage deck. An alternative upgrade to an extra night in the hotel in Aswan is available if you prefer.
En-route to Luxor, we’ll stop to visit the Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples and once we arrive, we’ll visit the towering Karnak Temple, the tombs at the Valley of the Kings and Queen Hatchepsut Temple. You’ll also have some free time to explore the busy markets or relax at the hotel pool before we head back to Cairo. As an additional extra, you can add a visit to the Red Sea, please contact us for details as extensions are easily arranged from Luxor to Hurghada, and then back to Cairo from there.

Conquer the tallest peak in Africa in this leisurely, unhurried, 11-day trek. Take the Lemosho Route, regarded as the best ascent route, since this offers the complete Kilimanjaro experience with more acclimatization time, more cultural interaction, more spectacular sceneries and even a night in Kibo Crater.
Starting from the western side of Kilimanjaro, you will cover most of the spectacular areas around the mountain during this ascent. Enjoy your stay in spacious guest tents with mattresses and pillows as well as a mess tent with lightweight tables and chairs.
Following this itinerary you will ascend the mountain via Stella Point and not the Western Breach. For that very reason, this route is also considered to be safer than the other. Our trips also include a toilet tent in the camp and knowledgeable, professional guides that go through bi-annual trainings. Our logistics team at our base will monitor your trip from start to finish. Don't miss this chance to climb the tallest mountain in Africa while enjoying the best of our services.
