TLDR; this is a tremendous experience for the adventurous traveler; if you have an open mindset about meeting new people, enjoy hiking and the outdoors, and don't mind an occasionally rough ride, this is an incredible trip and well worth your time. Having never traveled outside the US, I wanted to go big on my first solo trip with the 62-day excursion from Pretoria to Nairobi. Since it was such an extensive trip, I was looking for the most value for my time, based on price, activities, and safety. I backpack often, so beyond basic comfort was not a priority for me, which turned out to be a good mindset to adopt since we camped nearly the entire trip, & rode in a truck with no AC (Namibia gets hot!). Tip - be ready to retrieve the rain fly for your tent during unexpected 3 AM rain showers! However, nearly all of the sites we stayed at had the option to upgrade from camping to comfortable indoor accommodations, which was a nice option to take advantage of occasionally. Once we reached our site for the night, we began our daily rotating duties, which included helping to cook, clean the truck, and do dishes, which I think added to the experience and helped bond our fellow tourists. Traveling solo, I felt safe at all times with our guides, drivers, and locations. My trip was split between two guides, Crispen, then Pete, and they were great company that looked out for us and kept us safe and informed about everything around us. Our guides were familiar with the paths and knew everyone at our destinations. Nothing surprised them. Our drivers were impressive as well, with Harmony and Francis keeping us safe on the often-tumultuous African roads. Navigating both urban and off-road environments in our trucks was no easy task, and Francis even proved his mechanic skills during the occasional break-down. The variety of locations we stayed at were simply incredible. From Cape Town to the deserts of Namibia, the Okavango Delta to Zanzibar Island, the mixture of urban and remote landscapes couldn't have been better. We saw every animal you can imagine. On a trip like this, an open mindset is key. Traveling for two months with strangers can go any number of ways, but due to this trip, I now have lifelong friends scattered across the globe that I can't wait to visit. This wasn't just a vacation, it was a lasting, eye-opening experience that I believe everyone should try if possible. I can't recommend this trip enough. I wish I could go back to January and do it all over again.

What a fabulous wee trip. Picked up at our villa we drove out to local helicopter landing site where our hosts set up. Our guide was very knowledgeable informative about all this celestial. Unfortunately for us the moon was resplendent in all its glory so no dark sky. However we saw many constellations and heard many stories of battles and gods. We now need to do the same at home????. The only thing we might suggest is that folding chairs may be a help for folks necks. We really enjoyed the evening however and learned loads. Every blessing on the future of your business.

The private guided walk with Simon was very informative and very great. Not only is he a private guide, he is also a good photographer. He has a very good work ethic which speaks volumes about his integrity. He was very punctual and came informed about everything we will need on our tour and also to get access to the park. He went further to check on our well-being, our knowledge of the area and even suggested the best activities in order for us to have the best experience. I felt like I was there when Victoria falls was discovered and named because of how much I learned through Simon. I have to admit he really does know the place. Most importantly I felt safe having a guide who knew the limits. Thank you Simon!

There is no peace and quiet at Victoria Falls anymore. No chance to enjoy the sounds of the bush and the waterfall. The natural experience people come for is not here anymore. It is destroyed by the constant engine noise of helicopters.
