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!

Our CEO was excellent and the other members of the group were cohesive. We saw the big five and much more. Accommodations were very nice and the food was good. We were out in Kruger for four days and each guide we had were knowledgeable and very accommodating. Highly recommend this tour.
