What travelers are saying

"Wonderful tour of all the Kimberley icons with a few relaxed days on Mount Hart Station. Lots of special moments such as sunset dinners! And lots of cool and refreshing waterholes to swim in! Loved the personal touches from Colin and Philip and the fabulous lookouts. The food was delicious the Chef at Mount Hart was world-class!"

What travelers are saying

"This tour has amazing sites, good hotels in great locations, great pace BUT the tour director that was assigned to be with our small group added nothing to the experience. He did not give us any info, tell us about what we were seeing, give us any info at all. The only time he talked was to tell us when the next bathroom break would be. Apparently this is common for Globus to use retirees starting another chapter. Our guide was 76 and had no energy. Travel with Gate 1 or Intreped.... guides can make or break a tour."
