    Our two guides Samu and Tswola were super nice, organized and helpful. The accommodations were brilliant, and very different. The safari rancher showed us with much passion not only the Big5! The care was excellent, we would definitely recommend the tour!!!

    Accommodations were perfect locations. The 2 guides were more like family as we were only 3 travellers. Had an amazing time. Should extend to a 7 day tour given the 2 days lost travelling to and from Kruger. Would definitely travel with Drifters again.

    Is there a possibility that we cannot get a Gorilla permit or is it guaranteed that we can go trekking?

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Drifters Adventure ToursOperatorWritten March 2023

      We need a minimum of 4 pax to confirm the tour, once the minimum numbers have been obtained, we will then apply for the permits on your behalf. On confirmation of the permit we will then send you the payment link to pay the permit company directly. In the very rare case that we are unable to get the permits we close off the tour, but like i said this very rarely happens.
