    The tour itself was nice but the roommate situation was absolutely unbearable period my roommate her name was Susan treated me poorly from the very beginning yelling at me and telling me that she wanted to sleep and to lead the room and she had her things spread out all over the place as if she was there by herself and reviews to make any room for me period it went on from there to the point that it really ruined my trip so I ended up having to pay almost 900 dollars Extra in getting my own room period I was very unhappy with G Adventures for not at least attempting to mediate the problem but allowed it to go on and did not even reprend her about it period I do not feel that it is fair that I should have to bear the entire cost when it is not my fault that I was teamed up with an [removed in moderation] [removed in moderation]

    Explore Southern Africa was poorly run - time was not well utilized, communication between the tour guides was non-existent (the Victoria Falls guide supposedly tried to tell the Kruger guide what type of Zimbabwe visa to purchase upon entry, but the message never got through; a guest had a dietary constraint that was never communicate throughout the tour), and one of the guides was downright rude - it's unbelievable he's even in the travel industry. I wrote to G Adventures about my concerns after the tour ended, but they never followed up with me.
