It was a great trip with fantastic game viewing and knowledgeable guides. The accommodation was unique & comfortable, but Rhino lodge at Kosi bay was the poorest -the rooms etc were lovely but there was a decidedly run down aspect to the site and the dinning room service was notable lacking -2-3hr wait after ordering but the food when it came was fine -very understaffed and pushed, not helped by sharing facilities with an inebriated wedding group. Wernan the guide was competent, knowledgeable and did all he could to facilitate the experience -including re driving thro the mountains so we could see Gods Window etc as our first journey was thro thick fog etc with no visibility. Great trip, especially for the kids.
A really enjoyable trip, particularly if you enjoy wildlife spotting. Varied viewing opportunities. Early starts in the morning to enable better chances to spot animals in the parks.
Some long days driving from hotel to hotel but always lovely views to take in. Roads are quiet in comparison to home but can be a bit bumpy in places.
Food great and excellent value in comparison to home. Fantastic steaks and seafood (Vegetarians can be catered for but not the most imaginative).
Our National Geographic G Adventures tour of Kruger, Namibia and Victoria Falls was a fabulous small group tour, with outstanding wildlife experiences, luxurious accommodation, great people and flawless organisation. I would recommend it to anyone
It was, by far, the most memorable experience of my life. Doing this tour has reshaped the way I?ll holiday in the future. I?ve done amazing things, seen amazing things and I met my girlfriend on this trip. Who?d of thought? Not me, that?s for sure! The CEO?s we had were exceptional and helped make the adventure what it was. I?m now a G Adventurer for life! I can?t wait for my 2024 G Adventures tour!
