This tour was amazing! Definitely a must do! As usual, Expat manage to cram so much into such a short amount of time without making it feel rushed! Matt, our Tour Guide, made sure everything ran smoothly and made sure this experience was the best for everyone. His knowledge of South Africa and all of the animals in Kruger was phenomenal. The accomodation was very clean and comfortable, and the included meals were absolutely delicious. If you're heading to South Africa, this tour is a must!

The tour was fantastic and the tour manager was incredible. One issue was the flight from Johanesburg to Zimbabwe. I believe the airlines was called FastJet. They left my wife's luggage and 8 other people's luggage in our group at the Johannesburg airport because they said they were over weight. Needless to say, this was a real inconvenience to my wife and others. The tour manager did everything she could do but the luggage did not arrive until the next evening. This was a terrible way to start our vacation. The airlines should be reprimanded.

You are exceptionally lucky to have Andrew K as your guide on this trip. The trip is made by him. He is totally professional and goes well out of his way to deliver well above quality experiences. He is knowledgeable and passionate about his country. He is humorous and kind and always delivers his best. The long drive from Drackensburg mountains to St Lucia, via Battlefields is too long and should take place over two days. Mlilwane camp is a bit inauthentic.

A fantastic adventure that really transformed my previously negative view of group trips! Botswana, in particular, was absolutely stunning and GAdventures built an excellent itinerary to have an unforgettable experience in Southern Africa. The tour guides/CEOs were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and fun – they did a fantastic job with a large group of travellers (many of whom were travelling solo) and really facilitated the creation of lifelong memories and friends. I’d highly recommend GAdventures and will certainly sign up for many more in the future!

Very fast paced but we get a lot of activities is that make it worth it. Our tour manager *Personal details removed by Feefo* was the best. He’s very knowledgeable, keeps us on track, and made the bus rides so much fun. We had a few activities cancel due to weather but *Personal details removed by Feefo* always made sure there was more to do to make up for it.

I've been solo traveling for the last 9 months and chose this tour with G Adventures as my grand finale and I'm so happy that I did. Our CEOs were so knowledgable and helpful that I felt like my brain was off for half of the month. Every day holds some sort of fun adventure without the usual work that comes along with most travel because those logistics are being taken care of for you. In my option, there is not better way to overland Southern Africa than this tour. We got to see things and go places that we never would have been able to go to on our own. It was such a wonderful experience.
