There were many memorable moments. Camping in the Okovango Delta was amazing, and the walks around the delta meant that we could get really close to some animals without disturbing them. The sunset cruise on the Chobe River enabled us to see loads of elephants taking baths and they weren't bothered at all by our presence. (more)Tim Gregory
The whole vacation was wonderful especially drive through Namibia with spectacular scenery and its breathtaking landscape. (more)Arvind Sharma
Remember that this is Africa and everything does not work all the time. Be patient and positive and make friends along the way. (more)Louis Carroll

I travel a lot but this is the most memorable, amazing, life changing experience I have ever had. I honestly cannot find a single fault with the way the operator managed this incredible trip. (more)Claire Smart
The 'wild camping in the Okovango was wonderful....two days and two nights of solitude, with only the sounds of the hippos in the water nearby, an unidentified grunt or three, and an almost full moon....superb (more)Susan Zilberstein
Dune 45 was the highlight. The guides, Adolph an d Victor were terrific, my fellow travelers fun to be with, and we saw a lot of cool “stuff “. (more)David Layne
From
US $3,080
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

Memorable parts?
Camping in the deserts, especially the day we (by luck) stopped to stay with a small group of nomads in Mauritania.
Tips?
Don't expect everything to run as planned - take it as it comes, but be sure that Alberto and his great team do everything in their power to give you an unforgettable and great experience every day
Local benefits?
We definitely supported the local communities along the way by using local guides and buying food locally etc.

Twanda and Mark as our leaders made this trip fantastic. (more)Angeline C Rubin
Flying over the Okavango Delta and fishing for Tigerfish on the Zambezi River were the most memorable... The one scheduled excursion that stands out to me was visiting the Namibian ranch of Mr. Bushman. He was so knowledgeable about science and natural history. (more)Craig Shafer
It was an excellent travel that I will remember for life, with great value. (more)Jeffrey Lee

Seeing the herd of elephants coming towards the waterhole we were parked up near and playing, washing and cooling down was the most memorable part of our vacation. (more)Bimal Tailor
The bus catching fire in the Namib desert was memorable. (more)Steve Hall
A river crossing of a group of elephants at Chobe Nat. Park (Botswana). Simply amazing! As a NatGeo documentary in front of my eyes. Speechless!!! (more)Paolo Berti
From
£1,770
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Seeing off the beaten track places, learning about traditions first hand. Seeing great scenery and good wildlife in Kenya.
Tips?
Ethiopia is quite 'rugged' but beautiful and varied. Don't expect luxury but it is rewarding in terms of scenery, customs and friendly people. Kenya is more comfortable with good campsites, great wildlife and good food.
Local benefits?
Visiting National Parks obviously support's conservation. Otherwise not that much.
