- GDGinger· November 10th, 2024Over the past 20 years I have travelled to many places in Africa. I also did a group tour thru India a few years ago, two different mainland Mexico trips, I volunteered in Haiti and other places. So coming to West Africa was not my first rodeo as they say. I was with Penguin Travel before and have booked with Tour Radar in the past, but this trip was so unorganised. The way we moved around from one place to the other made no sense. Sometimes it seemed we were going in circles. Coming into the Lompoul Desert after dark meant eating and then just going to bed and then getting up to eat breakfast and leaving. Not much of an experience. Chez Camille was not a good stay as they had no food or beverages available other than just breakfast and we stayed there 2 different times. I have a hearing disability that I always point out to guides when I am on a trip and have always had them make sure that I understood the days plans and I have never had a problem like I did here, communication was a big problem even though I pointed it out more than once. I did receive kind help from the guide at times as well as from other members of the group. But overall, I've certainly been on much better group tours. The infrastructure of the country certainly is below par, but the people were so smiling and friendly.Show more

Thomas· November 10th, 2023Everything to be expected on a trip like this to West Africa. Its not 5 star hotels and bug free but that is ok and makes it more of an adventurous and exciting tour. Our guide Abdou was the best and kept us entertained and fed many times a day. I def recommend doing this trip early November at the beginning of the dry season with less mosquitoes. Although mossy nets are provided throughout the trip. Im also a part time bird watcher and spotted over 200 species in 10 days. This is my 2nd trip with Penguin and will use them again in 2024.Show morePenguin Travel commented on this reviewHello Thomas, Thank you for taking the time to write your review.
