  • Southern Africa Overland: Cape Town, Falls & Kruger reviewer 3
    · September 4th, 2019
    Special thanks to the tour guides, George and Chris as well as the drivers Judah and Helmes for a nice tour. I love the itinerary, food and optional activities offered. I saw so many amazing places and got some memorable photos. Downside was, too many nights staying the tents that you have to set up and take down and the included activities were not so active for the age group. Thus, I felt that the overall value was expensive. That being said the campsite and hostel/ lodges chosen were great. I had a fantastic adventure.

    It was the best way to experience a lot in a short period of time! And you will make friends for life. I really appreciated how much the CEOs knew, so you will learn more traveling with G, than you will in any other way. I liked that we got to meet some of the projects supported by Planeterra, which makes G stand out from the rest of the companies offering similar tours.

    I would recommend gadventures because everything on the trip was suitably. The tour was already described in advance as it was. A good mix of adventure, culture, unique experiences and many activities. The organization of tour was very good and I like the travel style. I especially like, that gadventures working together with CEO´s in the respective countries.I also like that gadventures supports many projects on site and working together with the people.
