“Amazing and very well organised tour”
Theresa - Malta Dec 2019
Our tour from Cairns was very well organised, very friendly helpful tour leader. Hotels were of very good standard, centrally located and very clean and spacious rooms. Yvonne who organised this trip was also very helpful and great communication. This was our first time booking with Global Journeys, certainly not our last.
“Kakadu Highlights”
Karen - QLD, Australia Sep 2019
A relaxing 4 day trip with time to look at the natural beauty. A friendly accommodating driver from AAT Kings made the trip enjoyable. Motels were quite good. Organised activities and walks gave a good insight into the Territory and its history. Organised through Global Journeys with no fuss. Thank you.
“Fantastic tour with AAT Kings ”
Joanne - Australia Aug 2019
Global Journeys took the worry out of coordinating such a big trip. Our tour was over 3 days and we certainly covered some ground. Visiting Kakadu National Park, Ubirr Rock with stunning views, then Yellow Water Billabong with an abundance of wildlife, then onto the picturesque Katherine Gorge. Our tour guide was well versed on the area and history providing us with the best tour we could hope for. Accommodation was comfortable with restaurants. Our group was friendly and from all walks of life.
“Breathtaking Africa”
Karen - TAS, Australia Aug 2019
We added this tour onto the Essence of South Africa and so glad that we did. From start to finish we thoroughly enjoyed it. We travelled with our friends and were a group of 4. Victoria Falls is breathtaking and was an easy 5km walk along the track. At the Chobe River we saw herds of African animals from our river cruise and Safari drive. This is how I imagined Africa. Our Lodge was on the Zambezi River with magnificent views of the river and more wildlife. The accommodation and inclusive meals were
...read more 5* or more and nothing you asked for was too much trouble. We had many guides on this tour due to crossing so many borders. Sometimes it became a bit confusing. Everything went smoothly with Trafalgar, transfers, airport check in, accommodation and excursions. On the last day the Lodge arranged for us to go to the local village and school. This was so special. Thank you Trafalgar and Hannah at Global Journeys. I can’t wait to return to Africa.
