Michael F | Traveled in January
This was a trip of a lifetime for me. I've always dreamed of going on an African safari and this more than exceeded my expectations. Everyone from G Adventures was professional and very friendly and knowledgable. I feel like all of these people are family now. It was that comfortable of an experience with them all. I highly recommend G Adventures to anyone looking to travel and I'm already thinking about my next G Adventures trip.
Sean B | Traveled in January
Absolutely amazing experience!! The itinerary is perfect for someone wanting to see all the incredible diversities Africa has to offer. Would highly recommend this itinerary to first or returning travellers to Africa!
Heather W | Traveled in January
Great CEOs and drivers who were all well-organised, fun, enthusiastic and responsible and who went out of their way to make the trip enjoyable. Accommodation and food was good. I was able to upgrade to a room in the one area when we had to share bathrooms. As a 75 year old I was very happy that, by hiring 2 porters, I was able to see the gorillas. I would recommend all our guides and drivers highly.
Helen S | Traveled in January
Overall it was an amazing experience with G adventures, it was my first time with them and I can see why people keep coming back for more tours. It was a once in a lifetime experience and I will definitely be going with G again.
Georgia W | Traveled in January
Generally the best thing I have ever done. I loved this tour as it helped me explore Africa in a safe environment with knowledgeable guides. Its also a great way to meet like minded people and share such an amazing experience with. There were so many amazing things that we saw and did but the best had to have been camping in the serengeti or sleeping out under the stairs on Christmas Day.
