Absolutely excellent guide and driver. The tour company was also incredibly attentive and responsive with messages etc. The tour itself was so varied and enjoyable. The whole trip was a truly exceptional experience. I also was able to ask for an amended tour to the standard one offered and this was possible. I appreciated this flexibility very much. It would have been nice to have a tiered approach to hotels, meaning a client could choose a more affordable lower tier option or a more premium option. Although I don’t know how feasible that is. I also found that I had plenty of free time, which is always appreciated to a degree, although perhaps at times we could have left the hotel later and so had a more relaxed breakfast, or had more activities planned during the day if we are leaving earlier. Overall, a wonderful experience with exceptional customer care. I would recommend.Show more

Alles in allem war es eine sehr schöne Zeit und Gute Erfahrung. Leider hat der Tag mit dem Ausflug nach Gambia überhaupt nicht funktioniert. Die versprochene Bootstour im Niumi Nationalpark hat nicht stattgefunden. Der Nationalpark war komplett verlassen, es waren keine Touren dort möglich. Unser Guide hat zwar das Möglichste getan, um uns den Park zu zeigen, aber er hat nicht verstanden, wie diese Tagestour so verkauft werden konnte. Leider war dies dann ein verlorener Tag für uns. Der Rest der Reise war schön, auch die ausgewählten Hotels. Allerdings war das Hotel in Kaolack eine Baustelle. Dreckig und laut.Show more
