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).

My friend and I are both retired teachers in our late 60s. We’ve been to Europe a few times so we wanted to try something new and off the usual tourist path. This tour of South Africa and Dubai was a great choice.
We appreciated that the pace wasn’t too fast. There were days with early starts, especially for safaris, but it was worth it. Kruger National Park was incredible. We saw a herd of elephants. Seeing a baby elephant brought tears of joy! The guides knew exactly where to look and explained everything clearly.
Both of us are fans of good wine, so we chose to do an optional tour of the winelands in Stellenbosch. We tried a variety of wines and cheeses. It was surely a wholesome day.
Dubai was something else entirely. So modern and so clean. We saw Burj Khalifa and wow, it's massive and elegant in a way.
We were comfortable the whole way. I’d say this was a great trip, and you can try it, too.

Beautiful trip full of activities a lot of running around. But again I was very disappointed about how try the Delta was. I was looking forward to it about Safari and it was not provided. I spent a lot of money on this trip and felt I was kind of ripped off at the end. Other accommodations were really very nice. But again I should?ve been warned prior to the trip that they were suffering. A great drought. I would?ve made other changes. I felt that the adventures were National Geographic should?ve relocated us to the northern part of the Delta, which apparently did have water. That was really very disappointing

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!
