    An excellent experience. South Western Adventure Tours were extremely professional and the entire trip was seamless. Our tour operator, Sarah, was also great. She did everything possible to ensure that we got the most from the experience.

    Highly disorganized, guide was not informed about itinerary timing to get into parks, where food would be available for purchase and on and on. We missed seeing things because of SWAT’s inability to set up this tour properly or properly train our guide, they also did not take into account the shorter days in September. Missed seeing things because it was dark. It’s an amazing tour to see all these places, just VERY poorly organized and set up, we have been on many tours with many tour companies, this by far was the worst!

      The Tourradar still has 5 availabilities for the June date, but none for July. So, I am confused. Please advise.
