My second amazing G Adventures tour. I thought it would be hard to top the staff in Nepal, but Adolf and the G team in Tanzania were just as amazing. You can definitely tell the porters and staff are happier at G than some of the other groups. Overall well done, well executed, and friendly/caring staff. The food was also amazing, considering it was prepared fresh on the mountain!

This was a great trip, full of new experiences and great sights. The diverse itinerary was a key highlight - ranging from cities/towns, safari and island/beach at the end. Wild camping in the Serengeti was amazing !! It was also great to travel with people from a wide range of countries and backgrounds, this only added to the great experience.

This tour is a really nice way to see a good part of Africa in a short amount of time. I loved that we were able to see animals, landscapes and how local people are living. Masivu and Antony made this experience even more fun.

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!
