What people love about Gorilla Trekking Tours in Africa
- 58-day Gorillas to Cape Town (Camping)
We have only been back home for a couple of days but will keep this trip in our hearts forever! It was an experience of a lifetime bringing us everything we had hoped for and more! Great itinerary, wonderfull tourguide and drivers, 9 countries in 58 days, The Big Five and loads more, African hospitality, amazing sites to spend the night and I could go on like this forever. Doubt no longer and go for it!
- African Drums
My boyfriend and I are travelling round the world for 13 months, and this tour was a definite highlight. This was largely due to our fantastic guide Mufaro, and our driver JB. Both went well above and beyond their job descriptions to make sure we all had a fantastic time. Obviously every group is different, but our group was a more mature group (in mentality not necessarily age) unlike all the other gap year trucks we met along the way. We both had a fantastic time, and I genuinely could not recommend anything more, or thank JB & Mufaro for making this part of our trip so amazing.
- Nairobi To Johannesburg (94 Days)
Amazing experience! Before arriving, I was nervous about what overlanding would be like, especially as someone who had never camped before. It was exactly what I expected it would be and the staff did a great job being their for anything you could possibly need. They clearly explained daily/weekly itinerary, how to put up your tent, what to buy, where to eat, what to see etc. And they will even fix your flip flop if it breaks! Overlanding as a type of travel may not be for everyone, every overlanding company drives longs days and does some camping. But if you want to slow down, see the land and meet really cool people I couldn't recommend Oasis more. The best part was that all of the staff are incredibly helpful, from answering questions online prior to my trip, to their caring CEO, to my amazing driver and group leader. I did 93 in africa and I've already booked another trip on the silk road. Can't wait to be back!
