    What an amazing trip through South Africa and Namibia. This was my 7th trip with G and first one Camping. Don’t be scared! It was an adventure. Bonani and Jerry were the best CEO’s I could imagine and we had an amazing group dynamic. Everyone was helping everyone. Be ready for an amazing adventure!

    Amazing experience. Namibia has become one of my favourite countries. The tour was amazing and don’t let you be discouraged by the camping, is not that bad. Lulu and Angelica were the best CEO agents anyone could of asked for.

    The tour was insane. The landscape, the nature and the wildlife and night skys that I saw were non of this world, when you never saw that before. The Tourguides and the other travellers were so friendly and heart full, funny and that makes this trip to one of my best travel experiences I have ever did. The way of travelling and meeting a lot of new guys at the same time is a perfect way to connect to the world and make new friends! Thanks G-adventures for the adventure! Chris and Mr. V always took care of us and made this trip as great as it was!

    Andy was beyond enthusiastic she was great throughout the whole trip with her information along the route. These tours are nothing with guides like Ansy so thanks again. Then there’s Mike the driver...he was like a big friendly uncle! Such a nice guy and good to be around such lovely people!

    This trip was exceptional. A camping experience in such wildlife-rich African countries is the best way to really immerse yourself. You don't find such spectacular night skies and unique wildlife in many other countries these days due to sprawling suburbia and agriculture taking over many land areas. You will also really bond with your fellow tour members due to how interactive the tour is. I felt like we were all a close family setting up our campsite each night and cooking together. We saw so much African wildlife, and I'm not just talking about on the safari drive. We also experienced and met with African tribes. I was so sad leaving this trip, it is truly an experience to have and one you will never forget.

    I had a fantastic time on my tour. Prince and Wellington were brilliant CEO's ensuring we all had a great time. The food was brilliant and Prince always ensured I had gluten free meals and another girl always had a veggie option. Wellington was a brilliant driver and always ensuring the Lando was taken care of and stayed calm when there were any technical issues. Both CEO's were full of useful information, Welly knew lots about animals which was great in Etosha. There was a lot of driving but the CEO's ensured we had regular comfort and photo breaks. At times there was no water at the camp sites but the CEO's tried to get this sorted for us. I really like the Lando and am glad we had this vehicle and not one like other tours such as Intripid. I ended the tour in Windhoek, it may have been useful to have a full day in Windhoek to allow for sightseeing and to give the CEO's time to prepare for the next leg of the trip and sort out any issues - for example Lando problems. I will definatly look to travel with G adventures in Africa again and would be more then happy to have Prince and Welly as my CEO's. I would recommend the tour to people.
