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.

This was the trip of a lifetime. We were able to see, do, and taste so much. Matt (our tour leader) and Benny (our driver) were the dream team and kept us engaged and entertained the entire time. I highly recommend booking this tour.
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.
