- Southern Africa Overland: Cape Town, Falls & Kruger
Most amazing experience, trip of a life time! I cannot highly recommend this tour enough! Book it book it book it! Highlights: Fish River Canyon - Stunning at sunset. Make sure your camera does panorama! Sossusvlei Dunes - Make sure EVERYONE gets on the truck in time. We almost missed the sunrise and when you hit that dune, RUN up there to get the best spot! Swakopmund - Skydiving,i f you have ever wanted to do it, do it here! It's amazing and cheap. Also, you must do the sand boarding. Some of our group were 'umming and 'ahhring about it, didn't do it and totally regretted it. Estosha - This was just like a David Attenborough documentary. Your camp is near a watering hole which is floodlit, so you can see the animals all night. We camped out with our sleeping bags and we saw elephants, giraffe, lions, rhinos and zebras all together at this hole. It was such an incredible experience! Botswana - more elephants than humans it seemed. Camping and swimming in the Okavango delta will be a memory I will not forget in a hurry. Make sure you do the sunrise game drive in Chobe. We saw our only leopard of the trip,they are harder to see than you think. The sunset cruise on Chobe was also incredible. Zimbabwe - walking with the endangered rhino, absolutely worth the long drives to reach. Our guides were amazing, the food was awesome. Don't hesitate to book with G adventures, I loved it and I am sure you will too :)

The trip overall was fantastic! Best group of people, driver and guide did a fantastic job and cooked the best camp meals. I’d recommend this tour to anyone.
It’s been one week since I left the group who are heading to Cape Town. And I wanted to share why I thought it was so good. The company itself were in good communication with me and so I felt positive based on previous reviews and speaking to them. The guide we had was fantastic. As was the driver. Wycliffe and Steve were very popular, so helpful, knew their shit, made us feel very safe and relaxed and were a joy to have around. Excellent staff. Excellent company and would highly recommend. I joined in Jinja, and had three weeks. Waking up to the sounds of nature all around you every morning helps you feel connected to nature and it’s such a lovely way of waking up. The sounds and smells of the African bush. Sometimes it was the sounds of goats, birds, lots of birds, call to prayer, rain, daily living, the breakfast being cooked, laughter of some of the group. All these sounds were a lovely alarm clock. Every day was different. Looking at beautiful country side from the truck, seeing beautiful people living their lives. All this amongst a connection with the fellow people on the bus. Learning about their lives, interests and experiences. I liked to understand Why we all chose to be on this trip and how we were all experiencing it. On our group people always helped each other, like setting up tents, cooking, offering me a snack, some suncream, sharing things. I felt we looked out for each other. So there was a connection to Nature, to people, good conversations, lovely shared experiences and the once in a lifetime sights. Having a coffee with a lion eating a zebra in Ngorogoro crater was a morning !! Overall the trip was perfect, and left me feeling grateful, emotional and happy. Shout out to Maddie, Matt, Ivo, Eva, Frank, Nikita, Martin, Orla. ???
