Overall, I was truly impressed by how earth and human conscious G Adventures is. This unique focus really sets your program apart from others and makes me proud to support you now and in the future. I had the pleasure of joining my first G adventure group, accompanied by such a wonderful group of people and an excellent CEO Min and incredible local guides: Jill, Addi and Seng. Earth and human-centered tourism are often afterthoughts, so it was a pleasant surprise to see these values woven seamlessly throughout the trip, from the villages we visited to the local restaurants we supported. This thoughtful approach made the experience not only enjoyable but also deeply meaningful.
We had an amazing time on our honeymoon safari. Our guides, Noel and Huruma, made sure that every moment was memorable when we were at Arusha, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, Tarangire National Park, and Serengeti National Park.
We see many amazing animals like lions, elephants, cheetahs, giraffes, etc. Our accommodations were gorgeous, ideal for honeymooners, comfortable suites, a great view, and very tasty food. I recommend this company to all who want to enjoy nature and honeymoon.

This was a very well organised and enjoyable tour and through the guides and suppprt crew we got a really good feel for each country and its people customs history and food.
The tour leader Doan was excellent throughout and always ready to help us with little things like buying food in the markets or talking and joking with locals.
We felt really immersed in the local culture but also nicely protected from the sometimes hot and humid weather by our lovely air conditioned van and great accommodation choices!

Take this wonderful opportunity to experience the hospitality and appeal of the many different faces of an ancient and unique culture, surrounded by breath-taking landscape.
They say it’s the tour leader who makes or breaks a trip, and for me, this couldn’t be truer. Luis Flores brought this whirlwind adventure to life with his warmth, kindness, passion for his country, and enduring patience—all matched by his brilliant, boyish sense of humour, which was a bonus. Behind the company logo is a man of immense grace and generosity—a true superstar in countless subtle ways. He’s not just someone who leads you through a place but someone who helps you connect with its soul and its people.
This trip was a vibrant tapestry of breathtaking sights, iconic landmarks, and mouthwateringly delicious cuisine (with portions that were often humongous—wear stretchy trousers!). Add to that the genuine, heartwarming hospitality of the people we met, and it was an experience like no other.
The long, scenic drives became opportunities to daydream out the window, snooze in readiness for the next adventure (or “meditate,” as Luis fondly called these sleepy and quiet moments), or share conversations that added even more richness to the journey—or, occasionally, for me to ask, “Are we nearly there?”
Was it perfect? No. Could some things have been better? Yes, of course. But I came hoping for an authentic, enriching experience—and that’s precisely what I got.
If you’re considering this trip, come with an open mind and heart and be ready to let the magic unfold. Drink in the numerous sensorial moments of wonder. There are so many “wow, wow, wow” moments—turning a corner and seeing something genuinely magnificent alongside enchanting flora and fauna (sadly, no jaguars made an appearance). For me, this was a genuinely enriching and transformative journey.
In all honesty, I was hesitant to book after a really disappointing experience with an Explore guide earlier this year. It felt like a huge risk to trust you again, especially since this was a 2-week trip and tour leaders are beyond your control. But I’m so glad I did and am deeply grateful for the experience.

Our 6-Day Tanzania Prides of Lions Tour with Lights on Africa Safaris was an incredible experience! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. Noel, our guide, was exceptional. His deep knowledge of the parks and the wildlife, especially the lions, made the trip truly unforgettable.
The safari took us through some of the most stunning landscapes in Tanzania, from Tarangire National Park to Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. We had the privilege of seeing multiple prides of lions up close, as well as other magnificent wildlife such as elephants, giraffes, and cheetahs.
The accommodations were comfortable, and the meals were delicious, adding to the overall luxury of the tour. Noel’s expertise made spotting the animals easier, and his enthusiasm for the wildlife was infectious.
This tour is highly recommended for anyone who loves wildlife, especially lions. It’s a well-planned and unforgettable safari experience!
I've just completed the Mount Toubkal hike in October 2024. I chose to tag an extra day/night to the trip so I had some time to explore Marrakech on arrival. The hotel was great, staff friendly with a good breakfast and swimming pool. Our mountain guide Aziz met the group of 14 in the hotel on the morning of the hike, clearly explaining the itinerary and what to expect on the mountains. The drive to the mountains was around 1.5 hours and we arrived at our starting point in Imil. Here we began meandering our way to basecamp, this section of the walk is quite straightforward following the mule tracks and there are plenty of small huts into the mountains where you can restock on water, buy snacks or souvenirs (roughly every hour!). Our Chef Ali, cooked lunch on the mountain which was incredible, fresh and tasty. I think camping at basecamp is the better option than staying in the refuge, having the freedom of the tent and the team cook and serve meals was a wonderful experience. You are also able to use the toilet and shower facilities at the refuge and refuel with water and snacks. It was an early start on summit day, leaving camp at 6am. This section of the hike is a lot more technical but our leader Aziz ensured a steady pace and reassured the whole group, he brought knowledge and laughter to the mountains. The route isn't super busy which makes it very pleasurable and the views are spectacular. Reaching the summit is a real highlight, marvelling at the stunning scenery and plenty of opportunities to take photos. The walk back to basecamp is steep but again we took it steady as a group. Aziz always checking everyone was ok. Staying another night at basecamp was bliss, allowing time to recover, sleep and again enjoy the delights of Chef Ali's food. The final day was the walk back to Imil and finishing with lunch again cooked by the Chef in the village. The whole experience was one that will stay with me forever. The hospitality and knowledge of the Berbers, the mountain guide and assistant guide Rashid was sublime, I couldn't have asked for another more. Aziz also kindly arranged a restaurant back in Marrakech for our final meal as a group. Don't hesitate to book this trip, I whole heartedly enjoyed every minute. My advice would be consider what you pack, of course you need plenty of layers in the mountains but don't carry anything unnecessarily as what's not in your daypack is carried by the mules, they are very well looked after but you do still feel for them (especially in the heat). Also you don't need huge amounts of snacks as the meals were plentiful (almost too much food) and again water is regularly available to buy in the mountains. Thank you, Explore, Aziz, Rashid and the whole team who made this such a memorable adventure.
