I absolutely loved every minute of that trip. I went in April and we got to see many different dramatic landscapes and amazing wildlife. Every evening we had clear details on what would happen the next day, departure and driving times, number of stops, and what to wear. Some drives looked long on paper but the landscapes were always interesting to watch and we never knew when wildlife would be visible.
The itinerary is well designed as we discovered landscapes and alternated days with short drives and multiple hikes and days with longer drives but plenty of stops on the way. Some mornings started relatively early but that is necessary to see wildlife and walk in the desert before it gets too hot.
The lodging ranged from absolutely fabulous (Damara Mopane Lodge and Otjiwa Safari Lodge for example) to painting peeling off the wall in Etosha National Park. Regardless, all were clean and quiet and being so close to the waterhole in Etosha was well worth the slightly less luxurious room.
The bus we used is especially well designed to travel on dirt roads and to see immense landscapes and wildlife. The provided extra cushions were welcome on bumpy roads and all seats had seatbelts. Once we got into Etosha, we opened the roof and (shoes off) would stand on seats to have a 360 degrees view. The front and side windows also open. That means everyone could see the wildlife from different angles with obstructing the view of others in the group.
I had high expectations when I booked that trip and I came home with all those expectations exceeded.

Christine Beeton Discover Namibia – Lodges

An excellent introduction to a fast-changing country. A varied itinerary took us through the beautiful Albanian scenery and included visits to mosques, churches and houses of interest as well as archaeological sites.

For anyone who is looking for a variety of experiences AND who loves cycling too then this is for you! The variety of cycling up (and down) volcanoes, fast straight road cycling as well as off the beaten track cycling through paddy fields and coffee plantations was brilliant. But we also exchanged bikes for walking shoes, hiking up Ijen to witness the biggest acidic crater lake in the world as well as slept in tents on the beach! And some of us ended our cycling in the sea complete with cycle gear was such fun. Highly recommended.

TMB camping was the 4th and the most challanging long distance hike since my retirement. We were with 12 fellow hikers (me: the only continental person and the oldest female) aged 18-76, guided by Tim, the best guide I ever hiked with and taken care of by Alberto, a hard working chef kook and we had an unlimited fun!

Elzbieta van der Steen-Banasik Tour du Mont Blanc Camping Trek

This was a long intended trip as we’d skied in the Rockies years ago but wanted to see what lay under the snow. We weren’t disappointed. The scenery is breathtaking and some have since asked if our photos were AI or real.
This was a trip that allowed for 2-3 nights in each location, which is perfect and preferable to moving on each day. We added 3 days at the beginning to enjoy Calgary , and deal with jet lag, which was well worth it. Calgary was a pleasant surprise.
A few days at the end to visit family and relax after what was a very active and full 10 days.
Other than the initial Calgary hotel, accommodation was very good.
Travel in our 14 seater minibus was fine for the 12 of us on the trip. 14 might have been a squeeze.
We packed a lot in. Did varying lengths of enjoyable walks and hikes, none were too taxing, but allowed us to feel where we were and escape the crowds.
Occasionally felt a couple of hours break, pre dinner might have been good, but wouldn’t miss any of the experiences we had.
Overall a wonderful trip, spent with a lovely group of people who I’d love to meet on a future trip.

Gail Hopper Discover the Canadian Rockies

I very much enjoyed the trip. The scenery was fantastic as well as the weather (most days). I really enjoyed the camaraderie which developed within the group over the two weeks and the camping was well organised with good meals and good fun. Our group leader was exceptional.
