- Stephen· June 1st, 2025Overall great experience. All 3 CEOs were awesome in their own way. Weather in Cape Town limited Table Mountain visibility but we still thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Kruger and Korangwe were beautiful, animals were plentiful and the company was great! Vic Falls visit was short. Suggest adding a day or skipping the 4th game drive in Korangwe for 2 full days in Vic Falls. There is so much to do and see there. One note for Vic Falls would be to communicate the need to bring small US currency with you for tipping. Not even the banks have smaller denominations than $20 US. Great time was had by all.Show moreTrip date: May 2025

National Geographic Journeys with G Adventures commented on this reviewHmm... not sure what is going on here, sorry. Please reach out to the team at 'customersolutions@gadventures.com' and the team will look into this for you.Trip date: December 2016 - CSC· February 3rd, 2017Explore Southern Africa was poorly run - time was not well utilized, communication between the tour guides was non-existent (the Victoria Falls guide supposedly tried to tell the Kruger guide what type of Zimbabwe visa to purchase upon entry, but the message never got through; a guest had a dietary constraint that was never communicate throughout the tour), and one of the guides was downright rude - it's unbelievable he's even in the travel industry. I wrote to G Adventures about my concerns after the tour ended, but they never followed up with me.Show moreNational Geographic Journeys with G Adventures commented on this reviewHi C, thanks for the post. We did receive your evaluation, and we have replied today (February 3rd) if you would like to discuss further please let us know. Our apologies things did not go according to plan or expectations here.Trip date: December 2016
