An amazing trip! You need to be prepared for long drives and early mornings but in return you see some beautiful country and spectacular animals. Loved it.
Dante | Traveled in June
Sydney our guide was excellent. He is very knowledgeable about the area, culture and history both actual and geo-political. He is also a very good cook and jolly person to be around. I rate him 10 out of 10 and would highly recommend him as the guide to my friends taking the tour!

Exceptional customer service from Explore from start to finish. Excellent itinerary: really varied - with lovely walks, history, culture and LOTS of wildlife. Accommodation was superb - interesting hotels/lodges all in remarkable locations. Be prepared for long drives though.

In our experience, the enjoyment and success of this trip hinges on how good the Explore Leader is. Unfortunately, ours knew nothing at all about the area or itinerary and arrived late and totally unprepared (including not having a passport to enter Eswatini). This is now being investigated by Explore but unfortunately ruined what should have been the trip of a lifetime. Assuming you have a good Leader, this should be a packed but rewarding trip with amazing wildlife. But be warned: because of the time limitations and areas covered, there are some very long travelling days on an uncomfortable bus.
