Great trip. Lots of ground covered Loved my trip. My 4/5 stars is nothing about the way the travel specialist runs the trip. It’s more about the pace, ground covered, and therefore limited time at any location. 21 days and that much distance left me feeling like we only got to see 2-3 hours of sunlight in some locations. Possibly cutting out a spot or two, or staying on faster, more well maintained roads, might help get to more locations quicker and with more time to explore.
Perfect relaxing holiday. Sit back and take in the views! I had initially signed up for the trip because it fit my travel schedule and I wanted to see the African scenery and animals, but I got so much more from the experience. I was amazed at how striking the landscapes were as we traveled through different geological features, deserts, rock formations, bush, jungles, and waterfalls. It seemed every 100 miles the views were changing. Even though the drives between camping sites were sometimes long, I was never bored. The animal drives did not disappoint, and to see a pride of lions in the natural environment is a moment that will stay with me forever. But beyond what I was looking at, I also felt I was able to relax, have fun, let my guard down, and just be in the moment.
My first dragoman experience has been pretty good - really great that I was able to safely visit and travel through countries with a group of strangers. Tour leaders were fantastic and knowledgable
