Wonderful road-trip into the heart of Africa

  • Michael Frank
“One of the many highlights is certainly the trip to the Okavango Delta with two nights in the middle of nowhere, an absolute lifetime experience. Overall, the tour is a very varied program to get to know the country, the lovely people and the nature.”
Really recommend you all go on this tour!
5 - Excellent
  • Josefine Bauch
“The Sir Lanka tour was amazing! It was so well organised and all of the accommodation was fab. The food was unique and really tasty. All our buses and transport was all on time. All in All, the Sir Lanka experience is a great way to see Sir Lanka and uncover its hidden beauty. Our guy was a 10/10 and showed all the best places. I really recommend you all go on this tour!”
100% recommend this trip!
5 - Excellent
  • Robin Pruis
“Perfect balance between adventure, culture, and free time! My favourite experience of the trip was visiting the monks. Rosin was the best group leader I've ever had on a tour! She was so energetic and made all 12 days incredibly exciting. She really made an effort to get to know each of us individually. This trip was perfect for me because I would not have been able to book and plan something like this myself! I 100% recommend this trip!!”
