    Very varied, reliable organization, always solution-oriented (big thanks to Nesi!), surprisingly good accommodation, great transport (Toyota Land Cruiser), impressive landscapes, friendly people, great group. I will probably become a regular Penguin customer!

    To begin with the visa issues, I got the details for it too late to get my visa on time. But Penguin sorted it out so I could have a visa on arrival, it was a bit of a stress around all that. But when all that was sorted out the trip was great, the local guides and crew was perfect. Sometimes some things felt a bit rushed. Maybe it would have ben better if the whole trip was a bit longer so there was some time to relax between the long drives. But in all a good trip and I will probably go with penguin again

    Asked on June 1st, 2025

    I plan to visit Guinea-Bissau in November and am interested in your Glimpse of West Africa - Guinea Bissau tour. I am an Australian traveling on an Australian passport. Is there any way to obtain a visa on arrival, since there is no G-B embassy anywhere nearby? Can you assist with this?

    Visa
    • Penguin TravelOperator•Written June 2025

      You can get visa on arrival if you are arriving to the airport. We can provide proof of accommodation and purpose of travel. We can not confirm if it is possible to get it on land borders.
