It was excellent! Thanks to the tour operator who is well-organized and didn’t miss a beat anywhere! They paired us with wonderful guides (Ahmed Hallel in Cairo) and all arrangements were made well and accessible throughout, and if not accessible, arrangements were made alternatively. We thoroughly enjoyed the journey and think it was well priced.read more

We loved this trip from start to finish. It was challenging at times, and we found there to be very little down time, but we would do it again in a heartbeat!
Communication in the planning phase with both Responsible Travel and the host company was excellent and we felt in good hands throughout the trip, both on the ground, with our guide and driver who were competent, careful and very informative, and back at base where we felt we would have good back up in the event of any incident. There ...read more

It was an excellent holiday. Amazing friendly and knowledgeable staff. To get the most out of it, have an interest in conservation issues and be prepared for early mornings with a few hours hard work and quite a bit of free time during the middle of the day. The personal payoff in terms of having multiple bush walks and drives with experienced guides makes it great value for money in my opinion.read more

The Mass Mara and Serengeti were amazing. Zanzibar and its beautiful people and beaches, was a great way to finish off the trip. The ocean was much needed after all the African massages! (road trips on dirt roads). I got to see all of the big 5. I missed the great migration, so will be back!

This has been one of our most memorable family holidays. We travelled with our two children aged 11 and 13 and all thoroughly enjoyed the trip, Karim and the felucca crew were excellent. They took care of us brilliantly and we felt at home from the very beginning.read more

Excellent...Mary has really explored all venues for this holiday and is an excellent water colour tutor. I have gained so much knowledge and techniques in water colour painting and been able to experience the real country with good advice and notes from Maryread more

Stunning!...Dawn at Sossusvlei. Flying over the dunes the next day. The bleakness of the Skeleton Coast. Quadbiking on seas of sand. Driving across endless expanses of desert. The sky at daybreak - at sunst - at night. Encountering Giraffes, Elephants, Lions, Rhinos, Zebras and a host of other animals in their natural habitat.read more

This holiday has exceeded all expectations. Considering the very reasonable cost we were blown away by the care and attention. Nothing was too much trouble and the country is fascinating.read more

Ethiopia is a stunningly beautiful country. One imagines it to be dry and dusty but since it was the end of the rainy season everything was very green and very agricultural. I would recommend this trip for adventurous people who are not put off by travel advisories. Ethiopia desperately needs tourism so go...read more

It would be difficult to criticise as it was organised so well.....Seeing 20 types os lemurs, many chameleons, the tsingy, the boat trip visiting villages along the way.read more
Alison Male21 Oct 2025
It was excellent. We hesitated a little before booking because it felt quite expensive but it was really worth it. We are so glad we decided to do Cape Town this way. It was the people. The scenery was beautiful and the food was amazing but we most enjoyed meeting local people, getting to know them a little and hearing their stories.read more

Incredible. The ever changing landscapes. 5 starsread more
Karin Weston17 Oct 2025
Almost impossible to say. We saw big cats every day of the trip as well as so many other wonderful animals. It was a great holiday. Saw all the animals I hope to see and although not a birder many superb birds. The three areas of the Okavango that we stayed in were all different but equally thrilling. As a bit cat lover, to have seen leopard, cheetah and lions all in 9 days was more than I expected. Our guide was more than a guide, ensuring we had all the opportunity we needed to take photos, ...read more

The trip was simply amazing from start to finish. After the hustle of the larger sites and towns, the peace and tranquillity of sailing, sleeping and swimming on the Nile was simply delightful.read more

Outstanding. This was a fantastic trip and one of the most memorable trips we have ever done. Every day was an adventure. I can't say that any one day was the most memorable as the whole trip was beyond all of our expectations.read more
Karen Roach13 Oct 2025
This is a trip of a lifetime made all the more real by camping. There are memories I will carry with me for the rest of life. It will stand out as one of the most amazing times I've experienced. The whole trip was incredible but the Namibian landscape, particularly Spitzkopf was one of the highlights.read more

We had an amazing time in Namibia and many of the experiences we had there will stay in our memories for a long time. The scenery there is incredibly beautiful, and the environments are so pristine. We were able to see a very wide range of wildlife at incredibly close quarters.read more

Excellent. All of it, but Okonjima -Plains Camp and Africats- was the very best with wonderful wildlife viewing, leopards and cheetahs.read more

The gorillas were mesmerising, watching chimps play was a world of excitement, having a resident hippo at a beautiful riverside camp was a dream. Riding through a herd of zebra, walking alongside giraffes of all ages. Plus a day full of elephants and witnessing a lioness with tiny playful cubs.read more
Karen Fletcher11 Oct 2025
It was an excellent holiday and the mixture of hectic safari and downtime on the beach worked very well indeed. Hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti and also the excellent service at all the Elewana hotels.read more

Absolutely wonderful. I would love to go back! Definitely the Rhino Dehorning day. It was not a usual part of the experience, but we really appreciated that our host company sponsored the event to get the rhino dehorned, thereby putting into practice their conservation principals; and that we were invited to participate in the day. An unforgettable morning.read more
