Well led tour by our trusty tour guide Jonathan Mueller
Exploring South Africa, Victoria Falls & Botswana
Leone, NSW, Australia, Nov 2025
We felt very safe and well managed on our trip to South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana. Our only disappointment was the lack of animals, in particular in Pilanesburg N Park. Having 5 safaris there was too many for such a poorly maintained road system. We all struggled with how rough the tracks were and the lack of animal sightings didn't help. The lodge read more was also not to our taste - too snooty. The Wallow Lodge and Chobi lodge were much better for our tastes. I will go back and do at least one more safari trip but will research the parks being offered in much greater detail before committing.
Great way to see both Senegal and The Gambia

Ron, VIC, Australia, Oct 2025
Was a great trip. Some accommodation very simple but lots of great experiences including sleeping on deck of a river boat. Most of my party of ten were keen bird watchers who were very happy. First time I had taken an Encounter trip but would certainly do another. Appreciate the wonderful assistance of Tracey through the entire booking process.
Fantastic trip ...especially Amazon
South America Getaway with Amazon
Chris , QLD, Australia, Oct 2025
Thanks Georgie for fantastic arrangements as usual for a really great trip. True highlights were iguazu Falls and the Amazon...both SO much better than my expectations which were already high. 2 days in Manaus before the trip started was ideal as the jet lag and long travel to manaus took some adjustment. Outstanding tour guides in Amazon and Iguazu read more and good elsewhere made for a wonderful trip. Loved the small group tour ...just 13 of us. Perfect. Highly recommend this trip for a great pace and itinerary.

David, NC, United States, Sep 2025
The tours and activities were great! Really enjoyed our leader. Felt like he was very knowledgeable and he was very personable. One complaint-breakfasts were way too small. Nina from Global Journeys was extremely helpful. Especially since I made arrangements kind of last minute.
We opted to go to ' Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park' before the Bunnik tour 'Kruger to Cape Town'. The Victoria Falls were magnificent and our guide informed us of the history as we explored the area on foot. The 'Under the Bridge' walk was fun from where we had great views of the Falls. Accommodation at the Llala Lodge was comfortable and we read more enjoyed having wildlife outside our lodge window. We had 2 nights on the Chobe Princess with 3 others. It was full of adventure with small boat rides on the Chobe River looking for wild life along the river.
After 7 days we flew back to Johannesburg and met up with the group of 11 plus Jenny, our guide, for the whole of the tour, ending in CapeTown. Highlights were visiting Soweta, Satyagraha House, the residence where Ghandi lived for a short time and the Chimpazee sanctuary. Our time at Kruger NP was spent in Safari trucks visiting several wildlife Game reserves at different times of the day. Accommodation in Kruger was unique. We spent 2 nights in the 'Train on the Bridge' hotel which had beautiful suites to stay in. All our guides in Kruger were friendly, experienced and had detailed knowledge of the wildlife parks.
We flew to George on the southern coast and from here we travelled along the coastal roads visiting wineries, an ostrich farm, Botlierskop Game Reserve, penguins at Boulder Beach and whale watching. We were also followed by hundreds of dolphins chasing the boat. What luck! CapeTown is a beautiful city with a backdrop of Table Mountain. It was a fabulous view from the top on a beautiful day. Another highlight was a boat trip to Robben Island where Mandela was imprisoned.
Jenny, our guide was knowledgeable about the history of S Africa . She was friendly, considerate and we could not have asked for a better guide. Thank you Hannah from Global Journeys and Bunnik Tours for a wonderful adventure in South Africa.
