African Wildlife Explorer

World Expeditions local South African operator was excellent- especially the driver/guide! Everything went smoothly and his knowledge and communication skills were exceptional.

Our African trip was excellent, saw a lot in the 3 week period. Some of the days were quite long with big distances to travel between locations, but our guide kept us well entertained and accommodated everyone’s needs for toilet breaks and food stops. The game drives were a highlight and we were glad we did the route in a clockwise direction, as it got more exciting the further into the trip we went. Was amazing to see wild animals up close.

Mischek is a great guide and driver. I expected long travel days and early starts for the safari days, but the drives were even longer and rougher than expected. The truck was not air conditioned so I would not have wanted to travel any later in the year as it would have been far too hot. There needed to be a few extra days added to the tour to make it less tiring (from sitting in the truck) and some more active activities, even just walking, and for rest days/half days. The landscapes were fantastic especially Sossuvlei and the Namibian sand dunes, and the game drives also good with the waterholes at Etosha and Chobe being the highlights. Accommodation on the whole was excellent except for Swampstop in the Okavango Delta which was fairly basic. It was a good trip but could have been made much better by less lengthy and rough drive times and a bit more down time. It was less active than I would have expected of a WE trip.

Very good trip with long days of driving between highlights. I would recommend that the trip should spend more time of if possible spend more time interacting with the Himba people . A flight between Cape Town and Windhoek would allow this.

great trip guide was fantastic lot of travelling but worth it
