Our trip took in 5 different areas of South Africa and every single part of it was unforgettable (more)Philippa Roll
From
£2,220
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Every day was a different wonder but the two days wild camping at the Okavanga
Delta were really special.
Tips?
Be prepared for very early starts and not much relaxing times.
Local benefits?
Yes, local guides were used in a number of locations but obviously driving such
long distances is not exactly environmentally friendly.
Overall rating?
Excellent. (more)christina monson
From
£1,790
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Hard to say: the animals, the people, the landscapes, so many impressions.... Zimbabwe was very nice, the people friendly, the parks impressive, it was a nice
surprise. The people I met and travelled with were very nice too, as were the guides.
Tips?
Take something to listen to: there are long drives and the roads can be very bumpy, making reading hard.
Local benefits?
To an extent, buying some local goods, and visiting some sights.
Overall rating?
It... (more)Andrew Thompson

Everything! It was an amazing trip with a wonderful creation. We were well taken care of, spoiled in fact. An amazing journey to be able to discover a little bit of these four countries. (more)Mylene Henrie
There are very many wonderful bits to the holiday. I particularly enjoyed my time in Lesotho and the town tour there and the township tour in Oudtshoorn. I was very thrilled by the countryside. (more)Christine Ketchen

From
£1,535
excluding flights
We had a great crew, our vehicle was perfect, the meals where very tasteful! Lets do it again! (more)Babs van Eck

From
£895
excluding flights
From
£1,769
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
The Sand Dunes, the Canyon and the wild animals.
Tips?
Not this one, maybe the one with commodations, hopefully the food will be better! I
don't eat junk food, almost everyday the guide serviced cheap sausage, mincemeat and
burgers; only toward the end of the 20 days, he started to brought meat with bone, or
games meat!
Local benefits?
Yes.
Overall rating?
I gave a two stars. The food was bad, the guide was muted! (more)Lisa Mak
