Great tour with a mix of city and safari.
Best of South Africa with Victoria Falls
I.L, 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.

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
Lily, 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.
Intrepid - Gorillas, Game parks and Beaches
Gorillas, Game Parks & Beaches
Ron and Jenny, 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.

Unforgettable travel through South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Botswana
Splendors of South Africa & Victoria Falls with Chobe River Cruise
Darwin, NT, NT, Australia, Mar 2026
Key highlights:
- Cape Town city and surrounding areas - There is so much to do in this fun and vibrant city and nearby towns. Food was exceptionally good, and noticeably cheaper than comparable culinary experiences in Australia, especially around the V&A Waterfront. The full day Cape Winelands private day wine tour (optional excursion available through read more Globus) to select wineries in Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl was excellent (non-alcoholic beverages also available).
- Hotels in Cape Town and Johannesburg presented as luxurious especially the à la carte and breakfast buffet experience at Sandton Sun & Towers.
- Land game drive (safari) experiences in Kruger National Park were exciting and thrilling. It’s a pity there was a last minute change to accommodation due to Makalali Main Lodge’s sudden closure resulting from extreme weather event damage in March 2026. The Elephant Walk Tented Camp was a nice alternative and was right next to the Crocodile Bridge gate entrance meaning quicker access to the National Park. Loved how each luxurious air conditioned tent had its own ceiling fan over the bed and seperate modern toilet and shower.
- River cruise on the Zambezi River, near Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe side) was a great way to see hippos up slightly closer than normal given the safety of the large cruising vessel.
- 3 night stay on Chobe River Cruise (Namibian and Botswana sides) was the ABSOLUTE highlight. The main boat is modern and gets refurbished each year (usually in January/ February). The service was excellent, plenty to eat and drink and the cruise includes all the water safaris as well as the opportunity to go fishing and visit Ijamwe village in Namibia, where the Subia language is spoken. The water safaris offered a unique experience especially seeing the wild animals living in/ coming down to the river to eat, hunt and play.
- Well arranged transportation between Zimbabwe/ Botswana/ Namibia especially the water border post crossings.
Tips:
1. Consider travelling a few days earlier to Cape Town to go to places not covered in the Globus tour. Google ‘Unlimited Premium Pass’ for itinerary ideas: https://capetown.citypass.co.za/about-the-premium-unlimited-pass/
2. Consider booking a safari in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, available through Illala Lodge’s tours and activities desk. A game drive on a private reserve offers a more personalised, high-end experience.
3. Avoid going on the ‘Victoria Falls cultural tour’ optional excursion available through Globus (terrible experience, pure money grab). On the contrary, the traditional Ijamwe village visit in Namibia (inclusive as part of the Chobe River cruise) was informative and memorable.
4. If going on the Chobe River cruise, you will likely need a visa to enter Namibia. To save time, and not have to wait in the stifling heat outside the customs border shipping container office, suggest coming with a prepaid e-visa (note: hard copy paper visa applications on site at the customs makeshift post can take ages to process).
5. Make sure you have a copy of your yellow fever vaccination certificate handy especially if there are any recent passport stamps from relevant countries or you risk being asked for bribes (e.g. USD, AUD, hiking shoes on your feet) by Zimbabwean airport officials on arrival.

We would definitely book with Global Journeys again. The response time was amazing and issues were dealt with competently. Early February was a good time to be in Morocco. We could definitely feel the increase in the number of tourists between our two stays in Marrakech - a span of eight days. We enjoyed the cooking and calligraphy classes. We loved read more hearing about the history of Morocco, its culture, and about Islam and Ramadan. People need to be prepared for some long travel days over sometime scary roads in vans that could be more comfortable. Our fellow travellers were a good mix, and there were no issues, even agreeing to allow my tall husband to occupy the middle seat in the back row, the whole trip! Our guide was excellent and our driver very skilled and safe over varying road conditions.
