It was a great experience. I would’ve never seen any of the sites on my own that we saw on the bus if we go again, I know the sites I want to spend more time.
Experience the best of southern Vietnam in a single day with the Cu Chi Tunnels and Ho Chi Minh City tour. Begin your trip by delving into the Cu Chi Tunnels’ subterranean world, where over 200 kilometers of passageways tell stories of survival and tenacity during the Vietnam War. Explore living quarters, kitchens, and even venture through the tunnels yourself for a first-hand taste of history.
After returning to Ho Chi Minh City, recharge with lunch before setting out on a sightseeing journey through the city’s colonial heart. Admire the Hotel De Ville, Opera House, Notre Dame Cathedral, and General Post Office; step into the Reunification Palace and War Remnants Museum; and browse the bustling Ben Thanh Market. The tour’s unique selling point is its seamless blend of wartime heritage and urban vibrancy, making it ideal for travelers keen to capture the full spectrum of Vietnam’s past and present in one comprehensive package.
I recently completed an incredible 15-day trek to the Annapurna Circuit, and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences of my life! From start to finish, everything was organized perfectly, and the team made sure that every aspect of the journey was seamless.
A huge shoutout to my guide, Raja Ram Bhai, whose expertise, kindness, and personal touch elevated the entire trek. Raja’s knowledge of the route, the culture, and the local history made the experience feel so much richer. His constant care for my well-being and his patience with any questions or concerns I had made me feel safe and at ease, even during the most challenging parts of the trek. Whether it was pointing out the best viewpoints, explaining the significance of local traditions, or sharing stories about the mountain people, Raja was a wealth of knowledge and always made the trek enjoyable.
One of the highlights of the journey was the detour to Tilicho Lake—a stunning high-altitude lake surrounded by snow-capped peaks. The hike to Tilicho was demanding, but absolutely worth it. Standing at the edge of the lake, with its surreal turquoise waters reflecting the towering mountains around, felt like stepping into a dream. Raja made sure we took our time to acclimatize properly and appreciate the stunning landscapes that led up to the lake. The views were beyond anything I could have imagined, and it’s an experience I’ll never forget.
The trek itself was absolutely stunning, with the Annapurna Circuit offering a variety of landscapes—from lush forests to high-altitude deserts, and breathtaking mountain views at every turn. We crossed Thorong La Pass, which was both physically demanding and incredibly rewarding, and the sense of achievement upon reaching the top was unforgettable.
I loved everything about Madagascar. I have had 4 trips with Explore and feel safe knowing they will look after me. The accommodation was excellent, we stayed in some really luxurious hotels. Our guide was excellent, very knowledgeable. Whatever I asked him to ID (insect, animal, plant) he knew what it was, even giving the Latin name. I recommend this trip and hope to return to visit the north of the Island one day.

Fast paced but we love that we get to see so much. Wouldn’t have been able to see a quarter of what we saw trying to coordinate a trip like this ourselves. We are already planning our third tour to book.
Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater form the backbone of this 5-day camping adventure—perfect for wildlife enthusiasts craving the raw, untamed beauty of Tanzania. Ernest Hemingway once called Lake Manyara the ‘loveliest’ he’d seen in Africa, and you’ll quickly see why as you witness thousands of flamingos and herds of wildebeest, zebra, and buffalo.
Next, experience the world-famous Serengeti, where the Great Migration unfolds in a spectacle of survival and drama. Watch as game animals traverse crocodile-filled rivers and predators stalk their prey in real time. The journey concludes in the Ngorongoro Crater, a unique ecosystem where rare species like the black rhino thrive, and the chance to spot the Big Five in a single day is high.
The USP of this tour package lies in its access to some of the most concentrated wildlife viewing opportunities on the planet, all while camping under the stars for an authentic safari experience. Ideal for those who seek both adventure and nature’s grandeur.
