View allWell planned and we got to see so many animals every day. Busy days but well worth it to see the animals at Kruger National Park.

Trip date: September 2024 - AKAnn· November 15th, 2022The bus was very comfortable for travel, but NOT for a game drive within Kruger. I expected a 4 wheel drive vehicle for the game drive. I also think it should be made VERY clear that the accommodations for this trip are outside of the park, and in order to to a REAL game drive where you can actually see animals you have to pay the park entry fee, which is substantial - EVERY time you choose to do a drive. And the accommodations aren't near anything else, so you are kind of stuck. Should have had the option to visit the endangered species center, among other things. It was closer than the Orpen Gate. The Panorama Route is great and we were given enough time to see the views (but not enough for shopping). The accommodations were fine, as was the food (once I told them I was allergic to mushrooms - a fact that apparently did not get passed to the hotel). I joined this trip in Johannesburg - unaware that the group had been together for a week in Capetown already. The only other joiners were a group of people from Capetown so I was kind of the only new person. I felt that Willem could have done more to integrate me into the group. We are not all extroverts. At my insistence, he did have each one of us introduce ourselves to the group, but they did not introduce themselves to us. He could have sent the microphone around so everyone could have introduced themselves. To be honest, I never felt like part of the group!Show moreTrip date: October 2022
- KSKaren· October 10th, 2019I feel so lucky to have seen and experienced all that I saw on this trip. Our tour guide was amazing and so insightful about daily life in South Africa.Show moreTrip date: September 2019

Angela
Asked on September 10th, 2024Which airport in Johannesburg should you fly into for the Kruger Safari and Panorama Route trip in October? Additionally, I'm unsure about the required vaccinations and how long it will take to receive them before the trip.
Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written September 2024The main airport that serves Johannesburg is O.R. Tambo International Airport. For the vaccination requirement, you would have to check with your flights since there are some routes (with stop overs in other countries in Africa) that would require you to get Yellow Fever Vaccinations and etc. and there are some routes that doesn't.

Asked on March 21st, 2024Can Expat Explore issue me with a visa?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written March 2024
While Expat Explore endeavours to stay current on all major entry requirements, we are not a registered visa agent. We are, however, able to make things a little easier by providing you with the required supporting documents for a visa application once your tour is paid in full. It is a requirement of the embassies that tours are paid for in full before visa support documentation is requested and applications are made. When you have made the final payment for your booking, simply reach out to our Customer Support Team to request your visa support documents and confirm which embassy you will be applying to.

We do, however, provide you with free time to see everything you want, and our tour leaders will have all the information on pricing and locations so you can manage your own budget. Please refer to your tour-specific pre-departure information and optional excursions guide for further details.
