It has been an incredible experience made amazing by our fantastic guides Charles and Alfred. We have seen so much more than we expected. Our guides (Rodger and Wycliffe) were so knowledgeable, and helpful and made it possible for us to see far more than we anticipated. I can't rate the experience and service highly enough!

The activities offered by the company were excellent, and the service was outstanding. What really stood out for us was the guide, Francis, who accompanied us throughout the trip. He was the best part of the experience, as he explained everything in great detail, showing his professionalism and knowledge. At the same time, he made the journey fun and enjoyable with his great sense of humor. It was truly an unforgettable experience thanks to him!

The trip is a great introduction to Sri Lanka well organised with a packed varied and interesting itinerary. There was a good mix of activities (walking, rafting, cycling) varied transport (buses, boats, bikes, tuk tuk and a train as well as culture (temples, ancient cities, tea & cinnamon farms, markets, botanical gardens and beaches. There was still enough free time to explore on your own or use the pools/swim in the sea. The hotels were better than we expected, in good locations, most with lovely pools. The exception was Araliya Red in Nuwara Eliya which was a huge cold soulless barn of a place with the worst food and service of the holiday.

From incredible wildlife sightings to the majestic scenery of the Panorama route, Essential Kruger delivered magic at every turn. The tour leader was outstanding, the pacing was spot on, and I felt completely immersed in all the experiences from start to finish. An unforgettable safari tour with a few dashes of sightseeing. I’d recommend in a heartbeat.

Things to know about this trip I hope will help others (I did the trip in Feb 2026): - follow the packing list in the contiki itinerary PLUS BRING THE FOLLOWING WHICH ARE NOT IN THE CURRENT PACKING LIST: RAIN PANTS, GLOVES, BEANIE AND THERMALS - Hiking poles can be rented for super cheap. I would not have packed them and saved the luggage space if I knew beforehand

This trip was amazing! Everything about the itinerary worked well. The included experiences were some of the best I’ve ever experienced. The add ons were great as well. The Trip Manager was great. Very organized and willing to help when needed. The small group size was perfect. Patagonia can be a difficult place to get to but well worth the journey once you are there!

Certainly, the best agency to take you on this great adventure on the top of Kilimanjaro! The guides and staff were really professional, answering all the questions and constantly paying attention to your needs, so that you just have to focus on the summit 🏔️ Thanks to the team again, we all made it to the top and had a lot of good time with our group and the entire crew. I would definitely recommend anyone to take this agency!

This tour provider hits it out of the park on the big wins: safety, logistics, and expertise. Their guides conducted twice daily health checks, measuring blood oxygen to ensure we were acclimating appropriately and they had medication ready to cover any malady. On summit day they carried oxygen as a safety measure that I found necessary after experiencing altitude sickness and the team even provided it to another suffering climber whose guides were not carrying oxygen. Not all guide services have these safety measures! The logistics flow was impressive from the get-go with airport and hotel shuttles. The camp logistics on-mountain was even more so. We’d depart camp after breakfast, they’d have tea and snacks set up along the trail, and we’d arrive at lunch to find the mess tent already set up with lunch ready, just to find it and our sleeping tents set up again at the end of the hike with tea and popcorn waiting and dinner shortly to follow. The consideration that the Porter team put into our comfort was overwhelming. The expertise of the team was unquestionable. The company clearly takes hiring very seriously and recruits knowledgeable guides. Professionals across the board whom we greatly trusted. With the big wins checked off in style, the company goes above and beyond with personal touches that make the trip truly memorable. I think the most memorable for us was the tradition and ceremony that the team brought to the experience - celebratory group singing and dancing especially, even cakes and champagne! Then small things like hot water bottles to keep sleeping bags warm really made us feel well cared for.

We took a 8-day safari tour to Maasai Mara, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli, organized by this company. The tour was well-organized, with Steve providing prompt advice and Sam, the driver, being knowledgeable about the national parks. We managed to see all Big 5 in one day. Thanks!!

We chose this 2-day tour for a short weekend trip, and honestly it was much more than expected. On the first day I entered Tarangire National Park, I was overwhelmed to see huge elephant herds, zebras, giraffes, and lions. The guide explained to us all about the animals. On the second day, while descending to the Ngorongoro Crater, the whole scene is like a dream world - seeing black rhinos, lions, hippos, and innumerable gonos together is a truly amazing experience. Although time was limited, I didn't expect to see so much together. Perfect tour for those who want to taste Africa in a short time.

We, along with a few friends, took part in a 3-day safari, which was planned as Arusha → Tarangire → Lake Manyara → Ngorongoro Crater. We had a lot of fun on this little trip together. At night, it was fun, and during the day, it was all about wildlife. Our guide was very experienced; he would easily find animals and share interesting information about each place. The huge elephant herd in Tarangire, the colorful birds of Lake Manyara and the magnificent view of the Ngorongoro Crater are still remembered. This safari will definitely be a great experience for those who want to enjoy the original beauties of Tanzania in less time.

Loved the Northern Thailand Tour. Our tour guide Woody was excellent, a really lovely thoughtful and competent guide throughout the trip who went above and beyond. Drivers were also brilliant. Would have been nice to go to Chiang Rai, as some of the temples in Chiang Mai were rather touristy and busy. Would also be nice if the tour included some other things to do as there were alot of temple visits. Loved the bike riding, elephants, Death Valley Railway and museum as well as the Raft Stay and Home Stay.

We chose this tour operator for our safari, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Everything was exceptionally well organized from start to finish. The service was outstanding, and our guide was simply fantastic — incredibly friendly, highly knowledgeable, an excellent driver, and an amazing spotter. He made every game drive exciting and memorable. What we appreciated most was how flexible and attentive the team was. We planned the itinerary together, and every special request we had was taken seriously and accommodated whenever possible. Thank you so much for turning our dream safari into an experience that far exceeded all our expectations. We’ll never forget it and we’re already dreaming of our next trip with you!

Our great guide, Musa, met us at our hotel and we left together with Seif who drove us around to see the most important sites pertaining to the slave trade on the main island. The sites were incredibly interesting to see but it was Musa's detailed explanations and discussion which really helped us out everything into context. We thank Musa for his excellent company, a gentleman of old :) We highly recommend this tour.

Discovering northern Tanzania national parks was long time dream. We were looking for a local company that would offer us flexibility and quality service. All went perfect : organization before we arrived, during our trip regarding quality of logistics, accommodation, transportation and food as well as quality of our guides, to the transfer on the way back to the airport. All was made for us to feel like home while preserving the specificity of our experience in a wonderful environment. I did expect a lot from this trip .. thank you for making it even better than imagined ! I definetely recommend this company !
