Can you please send me an email with the tour itinerary and details for me to pass on to my clients?

Unfortunately as you have enquired via this platform we as the operator do not receive your email contact until the booking is confirmed. I will pop a message on here to ask Tour Radar to see if they can send you the details and attachment that I shared here previously via email.

Is entry inside the pyramid included, or is it only a visit to the site/premises?

What is the deposit amount per person for this trip?

Does it say if there's an option of single supplement or finding roommate?

There is a single room supplement option. That would be GBP 3495 to guarantee you a single room & cabin throughout the trip. If you would prefer to share a room, then we can record that request, and if we get another single female traveller wanting to share then we would pair you up. We do that in order of booking. However, if we didn't get a room share for you, then the single supplement would be payable.

Is this tour still available, or is it sold out?

The trip is sold out and we now have a waitlist. We can add your names on the waitlist, however, we would need to know the age of the child to check whether he/she is within the minimum age range.

Overall, the tour was exactly as advertised - from airport pickup, exellent guides, good vehicles and good hotels.

Our trip started in Namibia, where the itinerary promised visits to the seals, sand dunes, Kamanjab, Windhoek, and four game drives in Etosha National Park. Unfortunately, the reality was quite different — we only had one game drive, and none of the other listed locations (seals, sand dunes, Kamanjab, or Windhoek) were visited. There was also an optional game drive offered for £80, but the timing (1:30–3:30 p.m.) was only disclosed after payment. This time of day is when wildlife tends to hide, so the experience was largely disappointing — had I known the schedule in advance, I wouldn’t have opted in. Overall, Namibia was a major disappointment compared to what was advertised. The tour improved dramatically once we crossed into Botswana. The experience in Chobe National Park was outstanding — one of the best safaris I’ve ever been on. Our guide, Rati, was excellent: knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about her work. The optional Delta flight was a highlight, offering incredible views. We chose the camping option, which turned out to be comfortable and well-organized. The tents were easy to set up and pack away, and the meals were tasty. I appreciated that vegetarian meals were provided for me throughout the trip. The tour concluded in Victoria Falls, where we arranged our own activities to finish off the journey. Overall, while the Namibia portion was disappointing, the Botswana section and our time at Victoria Falls more than made up for it. With a few itinerary adjustments and better communication, this could have been an excellent trip from start to finish.Show more

  Traveler•Written February 2026
  What is the estimated cost/range for optional excursions (and which key optionals are available)?
- Encounters TravelOperator•Written February 2026
  We cannot include entry inside the Pyramids in advance, as there is a restricted number of tickets each day, and we cannot send our guides inside with you. However, we do always aim to get there early and therefore ensure that our travellers can always go inside. But this would be paid locally.
- Encounters TravelOperator•Written February 2026
  Due to the nature of the eclipse period being so busy and in demand, we have different conditions to normal.
  - Initial non-refundable deposit at point of booking - GB£1000 / US$1350 per person
  - Interim non-refundable deposit at 31 Jul 2026 - GB£1500 / US$2000 per person
  - Balance due on 31 Jan 2027 (non refundable after payment)
- Encounters TravelOperator•Written February 2026
  We have not finalised this completely yet, as we haven't had the local Luxor authorities rules on exactly where people will be allowed to go. However, logistically (space, toilets, transport, access to drinks & snacks, viewing etc.), it is most likely that we will do it from the deck of the cruise boat
- Encounters TravelOperator•Written February 2026
  We will be releasing a final list of optoinal activities and prices a bit later this year. But you can expect approx. prices for the main ones to be:
  - Abu Simbel overland visit - approx. USD 150 p/p
  - Hot air balloon flight in luxor - approx. USD 150 p/p
  - Sound & Light Shows at the Pyramids / Karnak / Philae - USD 50 p/p
