What people love about East Africa Tours
The tour guides and drivers were very accommodating and were obviously making sure we had the best experience they could provide. There was a problem getting on the plane to Uganda. I did not have a visa but G Adventures assured me I could get one at the airport. I had to spend an extra day in Nairobi obtaining a visa and then rent a taxi go catch up with my group. They need to insure that all paperwork is done in advance and stress this in their literature. Also, there was no representative from G Adventures at the airport when we checked into our flight. This would have helped.
Masai Mara & Gorilla Adventure
I am an older person(60) and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. I was worried about the camping as I did not want to share a tent. I had my own tent for the entire trip and the assembly and tear down was not an issue. Most of the people were younger as expected but I fit in well and the age diversity actually added to the experience. This trip allows you to experience the local culture more so than an upscale trip without sacrificing animal viewing capability. In fact I think we were advantaged in our ability to view animals in the Serengeti. The truck is slower than 4 wheel vehicles but more comfortable due to the ability to stand and move around. Our group was small so our leader did most of the cooking. Thanks !! We participated in the meals by way of cleanup and vegetable chopping. I am very grateful that the leader did most of this work. Check that your tour included admission to the gorillas and Serengeti and transpiration. The African Ski trip did include this cost but others had to pay extra. You will be visiting 5 countries. Convert only as much money as you think you will need in each country as the money changers take advantage of inter country conversions. US to local currency seems fair. Take advantage of local visits such as schools and towns. Buy something from the locals. It’s usually the lowest cost and they are very grateful for the support. The animal viewing, culture opportunities and group fun exceeded my expectations. Great life experience.
African Sky
Starting this trip, I was a little worried about how I would be solo travelling in Africa. Moyenda was an amazing tour guide who is full of information and if he doesn’t know the answer to your question he’ll be sure to find out. He is very easy going with getting to know everyone and making sure we have the best trip possible. My trip wouldn’t have been the same without Moyenda!
24-day Masai Mara to Victoria Falls (Camping)
Travel East Africa your way
On an East Africa safari, you'll witness the Great Migration in Serengeti, get up close with gorillas in Bwindi, and spot the Big Five in Maasai Mara. Drift over the savanna in a hot-air balloon, or camp under the stars for an authentic wilderness experience.
