Customer Reviews

  • JB
    · August 30th, 2023
    Our 9 day CroisiEurope tour from Johannesburg to Victoria Falls was excellent. Well organised with a program packed with interesting educational opportunities along with the varied safari drives. Accommodation was superb. Although most fellow tourists will be French speaking the guides were all English speaking enabling us to learn much about their country's culture and history. Downloading the Google English/French translator app helped greatly. Not a cheap holiday but well worth the money.
