What our clients are saying about their wildlife tours and cruises
Incredible South America   South American Discovery , NSW, Australia, Sep 2026
Our South American trip with Bunnik was fantastic. All our transfers between hotels and airports went very smoothly and we had a local guide at each transfer to help us. Both Carlos and Seoul our tour directors were very knowledgeable and helped to make our holiday very enjoyable. The local guides were very passionate and knowledgeable about their local read more area. We saw a great variety of landscapes such as Machu Picchu and Iguanas Falls and visited several local communities. Some days we spent a long time travelling but this is expected in such a large country. Would recommend this holiday with Bunnik.
South American Explorer / September 2026   South American Explorer , SA, Australia, Aug 2026
We absolutely loved our South American trip with Bunnik. We travelled with them before and will again. Travelling with small groups enables everyone to get to know their fellow travellers and to make new friends.

Prior to travelling we were a little concerned about how we would cope with the altitude, the amount of steps at Machu Picchu, and the read more heat in the Amazon, as we have some leg and knee issues. We are in our mid 60s and had no trouble managing as did most of our group, many who were older.

The tour director and the local guides had a wealth of knowledge, were very friendly and cheerful, and always willing to assist with any issues. All of the hotels were of a very high standard. We have booked with Global Journeys multiple times and will be using them again for our next trip. They are helpful, friendly and very efficient.
Trip of a lifetime animal experience   Journeys: Southern Africa Safari Experience , New Zealand, Aug 2026
An 18 day National Geographic tour of Africa included safari drives in 5 different reserves over 3 countries, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana. We were thrilled to see the big five game animals but seeing all the animals in their natural environment was just amazing. Highlights were the elephant herds in Botswana and the multiple sightings of the read more big cats, lions and leopard. The smaller and more remote parks were best as there were fewer tourists and safari vehicles. Our guides were excellent and we learnt a lot about the environment and wildlife as well as the culture of the people living there in close proximity to nature.
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.
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.
