What travelers are saying

"I recently returned from the Costa Rican wildlife safari. I was a bit concerned with Covid however every place was extremely clean and had places for you to wash your hands before you even walked in. This was a trip I was actually supposed to go on in 2020 however it was postponed, waiting so long the expectations were high. I was definitely not disappointed! Patricia our guide was absolutely wonderful, extremely knowledgeable and cater to our every need. I would highly recommend this vacation. Also everyone that I met in the community was extremely gracious and kind. The majority of these people work on tourism and unfortunately in the last year have not had any. Booking this trip would not only be an amazing adventure for you but it would also be amazing for the people in the community"

What travelers are saying

"First time we (mom and daughter) have done a tour and first time with on the go tours. What a special trip we had doing the 13 day Casablanca to Essaouira Morocco tour (26 Nov - 6 Dec 2023). We started the first 8 days doing the totally Morocco tour and the last few days at our own pace with down time in Essaouira. Jamal our guide led the tour from start to finish and took us safely on a culture filled journey. His knowledge of the country, it’s history and people was informative and inspiring. Every request was “no problem” and delivered with a smile and happy demeanour. Everything in Morrocco was “no problem” and we felt safe and looked after. We were driven in a comfortable coach with enough stops along the way to not feel long by our competent driver Suleman. The hotels, Riad and Dar were extremely comfortable with exceptional service. We would not have had the same experience travelling on our own, we felt as though we truly experienced Morocco. Everything was a highlight for us and we will definitely book another on the go tour in the future. If you wanting to see true Morocco we would strongly recommend doing this tour."

Ngorongoro Crater Tour Selection Trips

  • For Ngorongoro, a customized four-wheel, open-topped Land Cruiser and an experienced guide are musts.
  • When choosing a tour operator, consider the lodging offered. Several lodges on the rim are quite luxurious, with fine locations and sweeping views, while farther from the crater there are tented camps and reconverted farms with cottages that convey a sense of history, both colonial and tribal.
  • Look for itineraries that include Olduvai Gorge, a bumpy 90-minute drive from Ngorongoro Crater. It’s the preeminent paleo-anthropological site in this end of the Great Rift Valley -- where Louis and Mary Leakey’s discovery of hominid bones, fossils and tools put East Africa on the map as the Cradle of Mankind, dating back 3.75 million years.
  • High season begins in January and runs through September, but it is interrupted by long periods in March, April and May when the rainy season makes the roads even more frightful.
