Amazing trip Suzanne, QLD, Australia, Jul 2023

Amazing trip with Globus on safari to Kenya & Tanzania. Both tour guides were very efficient & organised. Drivers were good. We were the only Australians. Other guests were Canadians & Americans. Found a tour group of 20 might be a bit too large to be called a "small group tour" Would suggest max 12-16 people. Definitely need to do this at least once ...read more

Bucket list bonanza Kerrie, NSW, Australia, Jun 2023

Never hesitated to reward them at journeys end. As for the trip itself - at the end of a long exciting day what could possibly surpass that? Well it kept on doing just that for ...read more

Definitely ...read more
