My trip lived up to every expectation I had and more. Both my mom and I could not have been happier with the trip and everyone who was in our group. It really was a top lifetime experience! My mom has some limited mobility and they worked so hard to make the trip great for her while not taking away any experience for the others on the trip.

Wild landscapes, intrepid activities and all the laughs - what an epic trip! Taffy was an incredible guide - communicative, knowledgeable on local culture, and the best laugh! We felt safe in his presence, he's an amazing cook, and he's a credit to G Adventures!

It was a wonderful trip and I have many fond memories of it. Everything went very smoothly and I know I'll definitely be going back to Africa! Our CEO was top notch and so was the bus driver. We had a great time with lots of humor and great experiences. I also really appreciated the fact that G Adventures showed us “Planeterra” projects. I really enjoyed visiting “Pentuka” and especially “!Khwattu”, and I loved being able to buy things in these places to support these two organizations. Thank you so much!

It was the best experience I could have asked for and I am so sad to be finished. Thought I would be sick of camping after 3 weeks but wish I continued with the longer trip now. The CEOs were honestly brilliant , Phillip came across as more of a friend than someone who was at work. He honestly made the trip Unbeleivable and is a great chef. He deserves a massive raise cause he literally made the trip. I couldn't imagine how different it would have been if he wasn't there. Nothing was ever an issue and just absolutely best craic !

I think the whole experience was so well organized and included a lot of exciting and fun activities. The group was well taken care of, well informed about what would happen next and not to mention warmly welcomed to Africa by the best CEO and driver we could have wished for! Thank you, Masivu and Anthony, what a duo!
