"Good, really enjoyed it

"An African safari has been on the top of my bucket list ever since high school. This year, I finally checked that box and the trip could not have been more amazing! In addition to seeing the Big 5 and other amazing animals up close and personal in their natural environment, we also explored Cape Town and Table Mountain and wine country! Our guide, Jamie, was extremely knowledgeable about every topic and I came away having learned and experienced so much more than I ever imagined. I highly recommend this trip!

"1 Flights to SA were not that sorted out. We had to arrive a day ahead, and had to miss the last day shuttle due to our earlier flight. Those disconnects were disappointing.
2 The lodges were wonderful. Probably due to the COVID disruption, walking tours became driven tours. We did see a lot, but I was so looking forward to the walking game drives.
3 I understand the schedule pressures that made the city walking tour in the AM and the climb to Table Mountain in the afternoon. But, that's after another scheduled great (big) meal that most of us decided to miss due to the impending climb.
4 Wine tours were great, but the dining schedules were so compacted that we ate too much in too short a time: Breakfast in Franshoek at 0800, with the wine/foodie tour starting at 1000 in Stellenboesh that lasted to 1300. Lunch followed right after and we didn't finish until 1500. Then dinner at 1800?! All the food were tasty, but it was too much in a very short time. It became an Active Eating Adventure tour.

"The trip title should be Makalali private game reserve and Cape Town.
We did not go to Kruger National Park on this trip. Kruger was never listed as part of the safari trip.

"Excellent, the trip of a lifetime!

"The Trek was very impressive (hard); the leaders and the guides were terrific. A special thanks to the porters. I could not have completed the trek without their support. The memories will last a life time!

"This was absolutely a lifetime highlight ... from the fabulous guides - to the extremely hardworking and helpful support staff (thank you, Mathew!) - to the delicious food - to the hike itself - and to my fellow hikers, I truly feel this was the best trip of my life. And a very cool accomplishment to reach one of the world's seven summits. I'm not sure what else I can do to top this.

"Active Adventures never cease to amaze - the destinations they choose, the companies they engage, the guides they hire, the overall preparedness for a trip such as this. Their knowledge and expertise, their dedication to safety, their attention to detail, their flexibility in decision making, their open and honest communication, their awareness and understanding of their participants - all requirements and all surpassed! Eight days trekking through gorgeous scenery, African rainforest, and dry savanna, to the final arctic peak - Uhuru. We are experienced hikers and we went prepared but we were seriously challenged beyond all our expectations! The ratio of hikers to guides and porters, their dedication and care, and their enthusiasm and encouragement of us every day gave us a huge boost and ultimately our success. We are in our seventies, we made that trek to 19,341 feet, we experienced the beauty of nature in a truly unique way, we found strength we didn't know we had, and we saw the world from a far different perspective. Thank you Ola & Kim; Aroon, Matthew, & Steven; Ephata; Jackson & all thirty-eight porters who supported and worked so hard for us and whose names we wish we knew, our…

"Kilimanjaro was the goal, but even if the top was unattainable, meeting and getting to know the Tanzanian guides, chefs, porters and crew was the best part of the trip by far. Their work ethic, kindness, and genuine smiles made the trip spectacular. When you are serenaded acapela in Swahili towards the summit by the teams on the mountain under a full moon, you can do anything. Thank you to Bonaventure for your guidance and choosing the right camps and to Dan for his easy and always accessible manner for any concerns. You do not want to miss a chance to do this trip and go to Tanzania, whether you do a safari and feel the top of Kilimanjaro is for you. Just go...

"This trip was amazing. Brett, our lead guide is incredible and extremely knowledgeable. One of the most incredible experiences of my travel adventures. I would do this trip all over again! Dont change the itinerary!

"This adventure exceeded all expectations with closer animal encounters than ever imagined, top-notch accommodations, friendly, fabulous guides and zero glitches during the entire trip! Absolutely Awesome Adventure!

"It was a special opportunity to visit three private game reserves bordering the Kruger. We stayed at two amazing camps and had a bit of a wilderness experience at a third camp where we saw no other people or jeeps for three days. The latter may have run a bit long, but it was interesting to get to know the park in more detail. The game drives at Notten's and Camp George produced outstanding viewing opportunities of a wide range of animals that were the highlight of this trip. The Cape Town leg at the end could benefit from some tweaking, but we loved our trip up Table Mountain and the Franschhoek area was beautiful. Overall an unforgettable trip that we feel privileged to have been able to join.

"I could not have imagined how close we would get to the animals and how much I would learn about their behaviors. The private game reserves were amazing! Loved the accommodations, people and food as well as all the amazing animals we got to get up close and personal with!

"Excellent, the trip of a lifetime!
