This was our first time to Europe and it did not disappoint! Right from day 1 the fun started! Jared was our tour leader, if you ever get the chance to tour with him, you are lucky. He was fantastic!!! His knowledge of the places we stopped was expansive and he made it interesting to learn the history! Florentin our driver was a rock for us! He got us safely to our destinations and always had a smile on his face! We forged friendships on this tour that made this the most memorable trip! We laughed a lot !!! I am so glad my daughter and I were lucky enough to have such an amazing tour leader, driver and fellow travellers that only made all the amazing places we saw, better! Thank you
The Serengeti is one of those rare places that receives so many accolades, yet it manages to live up to all the hype.
Our tours reveal this larger than life wildlife migration of huge predator concentrations and river crossings, where lion prides, leopards and even cheetahs can be sighted. And we introduce you to the local tribe known as the Maasai in order to engage with them and learn about their culture.
One of the highlights of an experience in Tanzania is the annual Serengeti wildlife migration. Regarded as nature at her most extravagant, it involves hundreds of thousands of wildebeest, zebra and antelope running the gauntlet of predators as they migrate around the Serengeti and through the African ecosystem. It’s survival of the fittest as they plunge through crocodile-infested waters on their annual exodus north.
The Serengeti is Tanzania's oldest national park and was recently proclaimed the 7th wonder of the modern world. Yet even when the wildlife migration is quiet, the Serengeti offers arguably the most scintillating game-viewing in Africa: great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephant and giraffe, and thousands of eland, topi, kongoni, impala and Grant’s gazelle. It's a photographers dream landscape.
Let us take you to Serengeti - front seat and center, to experience it all.
Hi Ritu,
I'm sorry for my delay in responding.
Our experience was fabulous! Your company did a truly wonderful job in making sure that all parts of the trip went smoothly. We appreciated how staff checked in on us and saw us to our next destination. Karan our driver was incredibly kind and professional. We really enjoyed spending time with him. The guides were good as well; we had exceptional guides in Agra and Jaipur.
Thank you for a great trip.
Best,
Jodi Marcus
Me and my friends we went the 5 days safari ngorongoro crater,Tarangire,and Serengeti national park
We made a choose for Luxury natural lodge accommodation in the wild, which was really affordable comparing with other company.
The trip was well organized whole experience was amazing !
I would do it again
The trip was great, everything was very smooth, and well taken care of. I must also really thank you for helping with the train tickets last minute, you were a great help! I was quite worried haha.
The guide you provided, Lhakdon, was excellent. She is a very warm person, and genuinely helpful. For example, my father broke his spectacles accidentally one night, and I messaged her at 9pm asking if she had super-glue or knew a place to buy new spectacles. The next morning she turned up at 9 am with a tube of super glue, and we were able to fix the spectacles! She really went above and beyond to help us.
She always made sure we were comfortable and taken care of, at restaurants she would stop eating and come over to help us order food, get utensils, get drinks etc. service standard is very high.
Lhakdon also helped us outside of the tour time, brought us to various shops, to look for specific items we wanted. These shops were also cheaper and better in quality than the usual tourist traps. Places where locals would buy from.
The driver Pen Pal was also good, a friendly guy. Though he didn't speak English, we could converse in Mandarin. His driving was very safe, smooth ride all the way. No speeding, no sudden acceleration/braking/swerving. Great driver!
Please express the thanks and appreciation from my Dad and I to Lhakdon and the driver. If my friends or I ever go to Tibet again we will definitely request for them again!
I thoroughly enjoyed my local experience tour. I was able to complete all the hikes offered. A good number of my fellow travelers were not able to do the hikes. It seemed their understanding of the physical requirements was not good. Perhaps more or clearer information on physical fitness requirements would help(?…).
Einer Thosteinsson , our guide was super enthusiastic about his homeland
The tour was well planned, we went to all the major sites without being rushed
The hotels were all very good if a little overheated
I knew we weren’t going to be met at the airport so that was no problem but I would have liked an introductory meeting either the night we arrived or before we clambered onto the coach the following morning, I missed the small sign on reception that gave the first meet-up time
Otherwise a superb trip
The group - Wonderful and fun
The trip - Mind blowing
Leah (CEO) - Marvellous.
Duncan (Driver) - Responsible and amazing
To be able to see that great migration which has been in my bucket list has been true amazing. Shout out to Leah and Duncan to make sure we saw a leopard on the last day, which we did. I had the best time and my next upcoming GAdventure trip has a high bar to match.
The hustle and bustle of Hanoi to the mighty Angkor Wat, this adventure takes you through two amazing Southeast Asian Countries. 12 days gives you ample time to truly immerse yourself in the different cultures of both countries whilst also having the opportunity to relax, such as on a cruise in the famous Halong Bay.
We will take you to see the contrast between old and new: from the shining high-rises of Ho Chi Minh city to exploring like Laura Croft through Angkor Wat temples or marvelling at the lanterns glistening from the water in Hoi An.
This tour certainly has it all and we promise to guide you through the way!
