What travelers are saying

"This is my fifth trip with Explore and it didn’t disappoint me. The organisation and itinerary was very good despite the 24hr delay in one couple joining us. Everything was fantastic with even some of our camp accommodation being upgraded! A special thanks to Salah, our guide for his humour, knowledge patience and huge efforts to give us the most incredible holiday experience!"
