Is the 2027 Solar Eclipse tour to Tunisia still open? If it is full, is it possible to join a wait list?

We still have space on that tour (Explorer) but the Deluxe one is fully booked now.

I'm a travel agent and wondered if you have any availability in August to see the eclipse?

Unfortunately that Deluxe 5-star tour sold out last week. We do have another Tunisia Eclipse Trip that you may wish to consider, it includes less meals and stays in 3- 4 star accommodation instead. It is the same itinerary but starts a bit later on the 31st July and does that itinerary in reverse.

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
