    Excellent tour with Ben and Taffy! The only thing I would change is that I wish G Adventures would consider ending the Joburg-Botswana-Vic Falls segment of the tour in Zambia rather than Zimbabwe as there are no visa requirements for most travellers to Zambia and rather expensive visa required for Zimbabwe - and also a 2 hour process. This is worthwhile for those continuing down to Zimbabwe to Kruger - but for those of us ending in Vic Falls - it would be much smoother to end on the Zambian side of Vic Falls instead.

    I was hesitant to book this tour because I have never been to Africa before. I was afraid for my safety and there were too many preparations (such as vaccines/camping equipment) for a week-long trip. However, this whole experience changed my mind and my preconceptions about Africa. We had an epic time with Patrick and Helms. They are both rockstars! Patrick is an exceptional person and a natural leader. He is an all-around guide, entertainer, cook, driver, doctor, foot splinter-remover etc. He made sure to accommodate everyone's needs, especially those with dietary restrictions. He immersed us in African culture by teaching us the phrases from different languages and singing songs. There is not a day that we do not sing "Jambo Bowana" except the first day he taught it to us because we all just woke up from our naps. Helms is the sweetest person on this tour! He is a reliable driver with a mechanic background. Our vehicle, Lando, had popped a tire and sparked a fire. His split second decision to stop and evacuate all passengers has prevented serious/lethal injuries. The Lando was not equipped with proper emergency gear and we had to ask passing vehicles for their fire extinguisher and jack. Helms remained calm and focused on fixing the Lando. Unfortunately, the damage was worse and the Lando could not continue on. We had to wait for a couple of vans that took 5 hours to get to us. Helms was left behind to watch over the vehicle for the next 3 days ALONE in a highway where lions roam at night. He prioritizes our safety and comfort. Throughout the entire trip, I know that I can trust this man with my life! I hope G Adventures would develop concrete/feasible back up plans for situations like these to protect their employees. The people of Africa are welcoming and kindhearted. My favourite part was to see the Okavanga Delta people. It was a wholesome, humbling and heartwarming time. Despite their limited resources (i.e., food/water), they still carry an optimistic outlook. This is an unforgettable experience! It saddens me that this tour had come to an end, but I am filled with joy to have seen Africa with such a great company. And I would do it all over again if I can have the Patrick and Helms! I can't name a better duo. Thanks guys!

    A trip of a lifetime! We visited amazing places with jawdropping scenery. The Okavango delta is an absolute must, such as Victoria falls. The tour was camping all the way, but the campsites were clean and well equipped. The CEOs were professional,funny with good knowledge of history, nature, culture and politics. They cooked very well too. It is a fast paced tour but this is the only way to squeeze so much into two weeks.

    I had an amazing time with G Adventures and highly recommend this trip. Eddie and Francois were so awesome and knowledgeable and just all around a great time to be around. I will definitely book another G Adventures tour and am even thinking about booking one towards the end of the current trip I’m on in Namibia!

    This tour exceeded my expectations. I thought since we were camping the whole time it would be a bare bones trip, but the campsites had proper toilets and hot showers it was really surprising. Didn't get a single bug bite. All our belongings were secure and safe the whole time. The guides are A+ and are fantastic cooks so many delish meals. My first time going on Safaris and was blown away by how many animals we saw. The locals sang and dances for us at the Delta. It was such a memorable trip. I would highly recommend adding this to your bucket list. Victoria Falls is stunning and a great place to end the tour. I would just recommend for other travelers to bring extra cash since most places either didn't have card machines, or if they did they wouldn't work (even at the border). We also found out after the fact that you can apply for e-visas and multiple entry visa online beforehand which will save you lots of time and hassle at the borders.

    WOW! This trip was absolutely incredible. It was so well organized and so much fun. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly and made the trip so memorable. I got to see all the beautiful animals I wanted to see and didn’t have to worry about any planning or coordination on my own. LOVED my time on this tour and highly recommend it.

    This trip is truly magnificent! I totally loved Botswana. You get so see many animals (mostly some of the Big 5) and beautiful landscapes in a short time. The bush camp in the Okavango Delta is also a great experience. Highly recommend doing some of the optional activities like Game Drive in the Chobe National Park and flight over the Okavango Delta.
