- AJennifer· August 26th, 2023All of it! The group and Walt were brilliant. I thought Kruger was going to be the peak and then the rest might be okay but not as good, but the whole trip was great and I was surprised how many highlights I had in the second part of the trip.Trip date: August 2023Review collected by Explore!
- AMaxine· August 28th, 2023The whole trip was wondeful and had so many highlights, Kruger Park, penguins at Betty's Bay with the surprise sighting of an otter.

- APamela Woodward· November 30th, 2023The tour was varied and offered something for everything. We especially enjoyed the added hikes to see things "on the ground". Having a tour of Kruger National Park was a highlight as well even though we ran into one day of terrible weather there. Be prepared for all kinds of weather even though you are in Africa. We were able to spend our US Thanksgiving while on tour and our guide helped arrange a celebration of all the participants. One of the other things we enjoyed was the extended tour offered to visit Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. That also was excellent and I wish all Explore trips had extended trips offered for all their trips. Cape Town was also a fun place to visit and we were lucky that our guide helped us all see the Cape Point and also the Penguins.Show moreTrip date: November 2023
- ACheryl· December 9th, 2019I've been sent a form for "Discover Nepal" (which I went on last year), but the holiday I have just returned from is "Sao Tome with Kathleen Becker". I've provided feedback about that latest trip.Trip date: November 2019
