What our clients are saying about their small group touring experiences
Great tour with a mix of city and safari.   Best of South Africa with Victoria Falls , VIC, Australia, Aug 2026
An excellent tour if you want to see more than just the wonderful National parks and safaris. We were very lucky and saw the BIG SIX and more on our Kruger safari, with St Lucia and CHOBE adding more to our list of wildlife sightings.

The cultural dinners and shows were entertaining and city and beach visits were relaxing and informative. There read more were some long driving days but we covered a lot of SA. Hotels were all top quality and TD Craig insured we were in our rooms with bags within 15 min of arrival.

Our group was small, only 11 travellers from US, UK, NZ and AU. We all became great friends and thoroughly enjoyed our travels. A big thank you to Hannah from GJ, for all her assistance with booking and follow up.

Tips…. Do the Victoria Falls extension, well worth the extra days. If you do book extra nights pre tour via Trafalgar, check directly with the hotel that they have received the booking. All the optionals were excellent. Cape Town optional - do the Peninsula trip, penguins were awesome. Not enough time in Cape Town would be great if Trafalgar added one more independent day there to the tour.
Exploring the best of the Kimberleys with APT   Essence of the Kimberley , VIC , Australia, Aug 2026
After a rocky start due to poor communication between APT and Cable Beach resort, we met our APT tour guide/coach driver, Scotty who proceeded to exceed our expectations in his leadership and infectious enthusiasm for the Kimberley region. Travelling in APT’s go anywhere, very comfortable, coach made the long distances over often corrugated dirt roads read more and through river beds well worthwhile. The Bungle Bungles, El Questro Homestead, (a wonderful upgrade option), hikes through Emma Gorge, Tunnel Cave, Bell Gorge and Galvan Gorge were spectacular whilst the Ord River Cruise was well worthwhile. Our privately arranged Sea plane flight, with luxury overnight stay, to the Horizontal Falls ended our adventure on a fantastic note. A final note for APT is to take responsibility for arranging all meal options throughout the trip, and ensure the guests have a proper introduction to each other on the night prior to our departure, so all guests are provided with the same level of service they expect from APT.
Kenya Tanzania safari   Kenya & Tanzania Camping Safari , BC, Canada, Jul 2026
Had a fantastic time. Our drivers for both the Kenya and Tanzania portion were very knowledgeable. They answered our many questions and were patient with our many pictures. Both our drivers were respectful of the animals and were careful not to get too close. Our setup crew had everything up and ready when we hit camp. If anything needed fixing they read more did it quickly. The chefs tried to work around everyone's different food sensitivities.
Great Game Drive Experience in Kenya & Tanzania   Wildlife of Kenya & Tanzania: Nakuru to Serengeti , NSW, Australia, Jul 2026
Great experience to see all wildlife in nature. All CEOs & drivers are excellent. We saw massive wildebeest, many herds of zebras, gazelles, antelopes, baboons & giraffes, and the iconic "Big Five", plus cheetahs, hyenas, white rhinos, hippos and crocodiles. The only issue was the game drive vehicle in Tanzania was more crowded than in Kenya. Thanks read more Grace for taking care of our booking, answering our questions promptly.
Best of Mongolia Best of Mongolia , NSW, Australia, Jul 2026
A wonderful experience of a country we knew very little about. Exceeded our expectations. Well looked after during our stay, coaches were superb and 4x4m drivers in the Gobi Desert were very experienced and attentive and vehicles were clean at all times. A few issues with communication (language) with our guide however she took great care of us and attended to our every need.
Intrepid - Gorillas, Game parks and Beaches   Gorillas, Game Parks & Beaches , VIC, Australia, Jul 2026
What a fantastic trip. This has it all, from trekking through the Jungle to visit the Gorillas, Camping in the Serengeti where the animals roam free, Game drives to see the Big 5 (Lion, Leopard, Buffalo, Elephant and Rhinoceros) and relaxing on Zanzibar's Northern Beaches truly is amazing. There are also plenty of other animals to see - Zebra, Hyena, read more Antelope, Elan, Cheaters, Jackles, Hippopotamus and many more. There are also lots of birds including Vultures. Watching the Vultures clean up a Cheater Kill was something to see.

This trip is actually a combination of 3 tours, 2 camping where one puts up and packs up a tent and 1 where you get to stay in hotel luxury. There are a lot of long driving days on this trip but you do get to appreciate just how the people live there lives and the challenges they have. An African Safari should be on everyone's bucket list and this one will take some beating.
