“This was my 3rd adventure with this tour company and my 2nd to South Africa. The variety of each and every tour is a major factor in my decision making and this tour did not disappoint. Each day was something different and we were so lucky to have such wonderful guides as Jojo and Bryan. Their knowledge and those of the local guides were tremendous. Each yummy meal was prepared and delivered by our guides - something we looked forward to each day. We managed to see a wide variety of animals and birds and they were described to us in a very professional way. I loved visiting the historical sites and learning about the lives of the local people. Your Responsible Travel policies and practices are to be applauded. Well done WE. Even the local guides who we had for 1/2 or full day trips were of a high standard. Everything ran so smoothly. I can't wait to visit again!”

“Had never done any travel Like this before and I have to say it was one of the best things Ive ever done. What made the trip were the people on it, the places we went to, the animals we were able to see, the experience learning about the history and culture of the counties, but most of all the fantastic crew we had.”
Very Good!
