This is an amazing tour!!! One o would do again (after a year or two). If anyone is even considering this, my answer is DO IT!
The African Safari is exhausting. It’s not all walking, hiking, and moving, but 14 days in rough riding jeeps on dusty, dry, dirt roads is exhausting on a body. I would have loved to have a couple of down days, but our guide wanted to give us the best opportunity to see everything - and he did!!
The people in Africa could not have been kinder or more appreciative of us being there.
*** If you have any kind of chronic digestive issue, be very cautious of how long you will be away from a bathroom. 3 hours turned into 7 at one point.

Absolutely fantastic! The CEO’s made this such a memorable trip from start to finish. I’d like to give a special mention to Elke who was on her training trip. Sje was so professional and already so knowledgeable of everything we needed to know on the trip. In fact for the first 8 days, I didn’t even realise she was on a training trip and thought she was another CEO. She will be a real asset to the GAdventures team. This was a trio of a lifetime for me and was so special. The activities, culture, animals, people, food and everything else was to the highest standard thanks to the CEO’s. I will be booking another trip with G Adventures soon for sure!!

There were so many great experiences it is hard to single one out. Seeing herds of Hippos and Elephants on the first day, and the shear number of Elephant herds we saw, to having Elephants wander up to drink out of the pool.

On safari, my mind was blown because I never expected to see so many animals up close in their environment. It was also mind blowing to see the countries and people and gain an understanding in how they live. I saw a t-shirt that said “Africa is not for sissies” and I agree.

It was a challenging trip with all the long driving days just to set up camp and pack up the next morning to do more driving. I guess I didn’t realize how draining it would actually be . But overall , the activities made it a good experience and I will be happy to use G adventures again in the future
