Africa Traveller Reviews - On The Go Tours

Here are some reviews from our past travelers to Africa. For more details on each tour, simply click on the tour image.

Our expectations on this tour were fully met. The trip notes were very detailed and accurate. There were no surprises.

Kruger National Park and Chobe National Park were both exceptional. The Mapesu private game reserve was a little disappointing

but we understood that it is a relatively new park (not a lot of game). However, the Mopane Bush Lodge was outstanding and made the stay well

worthwhile. The accommodations for the entire tour far exceeded our expectations.

The Driver on the tour was very informative and personable. He was an enjoyable addition, adding to our tour group's dynamics.

The only recommendation would be an additional game drive, possibly in the Victoria Falls area.

We would fully recommend this tour, for content and value!”

Travel was uncomfortable and for many painful. I did not expect to be riding in a vehicle that resembled a heavy duty truck than a tour vehicle and had no A/C. We travelled for long hours in very hot temperatures (34-38C.) on gravel roads many of which were very rough. As a result we had the windows open and closed them when a vehicle went by to keep out the dust. A few people developed back problems. One person rode with the driver in the truck cab after two or three days and stayed there for the rest of the trip.

I was shocked to learn that there was no toilet on the bus given many of us were seniors and we were travelling many hours with no or limited facilities. Many were very uncomfortable including some women and anyone requiring a number 2 on the side of the road. The two people with diarrhrea were not amused. I am very disappointed that no A/C or toilet was mentioned in the brochures. ”

Tour was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. We were very happy with the itinerary. The 19 days was full of variety and we appreciated the optional extra activities. The tour guide George was professional, courteous, and hard working. He listened to the group and was willing to let things flow to suit the the needs of everyone. The driver Lamek was also professional and hard working, particularly when dealing with truck breakdowns. ”

Our tour guides were fantastic. Muto and Heritage made the trip such an amazing experience for us and we could not recommend them highly enough. If we do another tour in Africa, we would certainly want them as our guides.

If we were to do the tour again, we would try to include an activity in each area that we stopped in along the way. There was a lot of travelling involved with not a lot to look forward to.

Our only negative would be the accommodation in Bulawayo and Hazyview. Burke's paradise was not the cleanest of places and having the shower and toilet so far away was certainly not ideal. Our accommodation in Havyview also had a bad leak in the toilet, and the water was not great.

Overall, the tour a great experience and we really enjoyed ourselves. ”

Enjoyed the tour and itinerary. Was disappointed with the choice of transportation- a truck / bus with no air conditioning ! With temperatures of 37 and long travel days(6-9 hrs) and seniors in the group as a retired nurse was watching for signs of heat stroke and dehydration in the group!This would not have been necessary with the transportation that was promised in the tour package.”

Your was good and tour guide was excellent!!! What was not excellent was your bus and the road conditions!!! In the itinerary you mention that the bus did not have air conditioning!!! I think when most of the people are over 65 bus should have A/C and a bus that has good enough suspension to handle rough roads!!! Taking the bus into the game parks is not a good idea roads are a way to rough for your bus!!! Two people ended up with sore backs because of your bus and the roads!!!”

1, The Guide (Collen) was excellent. Great knowledge of animals and birds, sense of humour, patient, A real asset to the trip

2, The vehicle was just adequate. No air con when the temp was very hot. Hard suspension lead to some uncomfortable moments bouncing around on the bumpy roads. Positive was the two fridges. Rattling windows. Door lock broke. Enough space for day bags.

3. Itinerary was good, saw lots of magnificent things.

4, Food average, breakfasts good on the whole. Dinners variable, generally very good with choice.

5 Accommodation was good. Nice staff, nice places. A couple nearer villages where we could go out to eat would have been nicer,

6 The tour was very good except for actually seeing African villages . people. culture etc Great for geography/ flora and fauna. Beautiful. . :Long drives which were tiring but always something great to see after the drive. ”

Adam was an amazing guide. He was kind, funny, informative and listened to our individual needs. He was a safe and effective driver and was never without a smile on his face. His knowledge and passion for his work was clearly evident. Highly recommend him.

The accommodations were varied and served our purposes well. The food everywhere was great as was the staff - especially at Swamp Stop.

The only complaint I have is that the bus wasn't air conditioned. Travelling with others who were 70+ years old, it was concerning to not have it, but we managed as best as we could. There were many long hot days on bumpy and dusty roads, so anything you can do to make the driving part more comfortable for future guests I am sure will be appreciated.

The parks were incredible and we have memories for life. What an amazing itinerary. Working with Samantha was great too - she was able to accommodate our request for a private jeep on safari and it made the world of difference to making our trip that much more amazing being able to capture photos with freedom to move around the vehicle.

Thank you for everything. ”

The trip itself was very well organised. The guide and driver were absolutely brilliant. Our truck Kavango wasn’t quite as good as a couple of the other trucks we crossed paths with. The seats not as comfortable and didn’t recline at all. I’m guessing it was an older truck but given the long days we had, reclining seats would be great. The itinerary needs updating. Some of the days it says 4 hours travel and it would be 8 hours with no hold ups. It is hard to rate the accommodation as it varied to widely from the fabulous Tan Swiss Lodge and the Waterfront to the worst accommodation which hands down was Snake Park which really let your brand down, particularly as there are so many other options in that area. Snake Park is an health hazard. Everything in between was acceptable even if basic given the location like Chitimba. In general I would book again and would recommend to like minded people.”

Our tour guide, Adam, was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble for him. The tour was extensive and we were so fortunate to see everything that we had hoped to see. There were a couple of days that required 9 hours of travel, and that was too long - given that the roads were so rough. The truck/bus windows at the rear rattled to the point of complete distraction. Insertion of new rubber would definitely work towards amending this. I think air conditioning in the bus needs to be seriously considered. Re accomodation, we enjoyed the Desert Quiver Camp (Sesreim), The Delight (Swakopmund), the Ugab Terrace Lodge (Damaraland - fantastic), and the Chobe Safari Lodge (Chobe National Park - fantastic). The Hakusembe River Lodge was not the most comfortable, but we were lucky to have a river room. However, the Cresta Sprayview Hotel was a disappointment. It was not well maintained and our rooms were a considerable distance away from the main area. Etosha Village (Etosha National Park) was a comfortable room, but once again, its location was too far from the main lodge area. Several of us became lost at least twice. Overall, this was a magical tour, full of surprises and I would recommend it in future. ”

We underestimated the rough road conditions, the long drive days, the lack of, and length of stops (never more than 5-10 minutes). Our guide was great as far as getting things done; very organized and timely but he never rode with us in the truck which I understand other guides did so. The metal truck was noisy and of course hard on the body with the bumps, ruts, speed bumps, etc. Difficult to have a conversation, read, write, etc.

No place to purchase coffee or treats except every few days when we stopped for groceries, where we bought water and snacks for ourselves.

Not suitable trip for two female seniors to venture out alone. Nights with little or no electricity. ”

Your was good however truck was old and in poor condition. Rattled like hell and was unbearable in some

Areas without headphones on. Accommodation was suitable but certainly nothing flash. Often seemed to be in the worst of the rooms available in the nicer places like Victoria falls. Elephant sands. Guides however were excellent and had no issues with them and they cooked some good meals. However did find you would need to substitute a lot of your own food into the days. Would I recommend the tour. Yes for a budget traveler. Would I recommend on the go. No. There were much nicer transport options from other providers ”

The holiday was slightly spoiled by the fact that on a few occasions the accommodation hadn't been secured resulting in, on one occasion a desperate search for an alternative ultimately ending in us travelling an extra 200km on already long day and on another occasion us ending up in rather sub standard accommodation with no ensuite when we should have been in nice ensuite accommodation at the same site. This does mean that I wouldn't be able to recommend Onthego to others ”

Overall, the tour was good, and the itinerary was as announced. On the Go Tour staff Caylin went out of her way to help me with my booking needs, which I really appreciated. The tour leader and tour bus driver Adam was excellent. He was patient, helped with our individual needs, and was an excellent driver. The airport/hotel transfers were prompt and efficient. As a vegetarian, I was able to find something to eat at breakfast and dinner, and it was not a problem.

There wasn't much of a tour at Victoria Falls as we individually visited the falls, and there was no tour in Windhoek as I would have very much liked a city tour there due to lack of public transportation and easy access to taxis to see the city on our own. The wildlife safaris, river cruises, and the optional tours were good. Two nights in Swamp Post in Botswana was unnecessary as we did the same river cruise several times and saw the same wildlife. There were long bus drives between places and sometimes on bumpy roads and I expected this but if one has motion sickness, this should be noted.

One of the major disappointments was the accommodations in Swamp Post in Botswana and Desert Camp in Sossusvlei. When I booked this tour, I clearly mentioned that I did not want to stay in tent accommodations A canvas tent accommodation is not similar to a hotel-like accommodations! In Sossusvlei in Namibia, the Desert Camp accommodations were hotel-like accommodations and were fine but for breakfast and dinner, we had to be driven to another lodge 15 minutes away and this made it very inconvenient.

If the accommodations were all in hotels as promised in the itinerary, trip notes, and in the email and phone correspondences, the meals were served in the same place as the accommodations, and if there was a short city tour in Windhoek, this tour would have been excellent.”

Best of Botswana & Victoria Falls 12 day tour was excellent. I was a happy solo traveller in a group of 16. Botswana is a safe country, with good roads and friendly people. Nonki our tour guide and bus driver was excellent. She was very organised, kept us well informed of our daily schedule, great help with money, boarder crossings and activities.

Lodges were very comfortable and in great positions. Loved looking out over the Delta from my bed. Food was good, loved that evening meals were included and I only had to worry about lunch and most days they were picnics. Safari’s were great, loved the afternoon cruises great relaxing way to spot animals and birds. Would recommended this tour. Not a lot of local interaction, I would have like some village tours or time with the villages. Not much exercise but lots of bumpy game drives that were lots of fun spotting animals.. ”

Excellent tour, 16 in group and only 16 seats on the bus so a bit tight and no room to stretch out. Lodges were good, (great locations) breakfast & dinners everyday were good. Would definitely recommend the tour but people need to be aware that game drives will be on dirt roads and they are bumpy and some days will be long. Would have liked a bit of local cultural interaction eg a village tour etc. ”

Africa was amazing and our tour guides were wonderful, but the local team is incredibly inept. Our accommodations were repeatedly a problem. We would show up somewhere and they would be totally caught off-guard, not prepared for our arrival. One of our few two night stays was changed to one night at one resort and the second night at another resort, two door down, which meant packing and moving for no apparent reason other than Acacia did not make the proper reservations. Another time, I had to stay in crew quarters, because they had no other room. Another time two of us were housed in a single room, with a single bed. Again, the only room available because the venue did not expect us. Another accommodation was booked, so we walked 1.2 miles on a busy road their other location. On the final two nights, we were moved to a resort that was $100 a night cheaper than the one we were supposed to go to (again, no room at the inn).

One of the reason people book tours is so that they don't have to stress about accommodations--this was surely not the case.

There were other issues as well, but these were the most distressing. I would visit Africa again, but would not use Acacia and will probably not be booking further trips with On The Go Tours. ”

We had a fantastic time on our tour. The guides were awesome and we got to see so many animals. They managed to ensure everyone on the trip got the time they needed in the animals they were interested in and were all very personable. Accommodation and food was good and we would definitely recommend this tour to others.

There was a bit of confusion in regards to tipping guides. On arrival in Kenya we were informed via our airport pick up (Michael) and through the brochure given to us that tipping was $10 per person per day. However, on arrival in Tanzania we were told that it is $20 per person per day so just a conflict in the information given.

Also we booked an extra night at the end of the safari before our onwards flight and were charged over $500 NZD for a night at the Mt Meru Lodge. I did think the cost was excessive for the accommodation in this situation.”

Food was terrible - as someone who doesn't eat pork, there were days to avoid a ham sandwich the choices were bread or cheese. Had one been celiac, the choice may have been cheese.

Accommodation- there were better accommodation options a short drive away from the campsites to give those willing to pay more a better experience. Some stays didn't have outlets in the room.

The guide tried his best, but this was his third tour. Sometimes he'd say we have a 4hrs drive ahead and it turned out being only 40mins, the opposite happened a few times where the drive was much longer than it was said to be.

For the itinerary, on one day we had a very early departure - 6:30am. however we made it to the next stop by 1pm and were told the rest of the day was at leisure. Why not leave at 9am to arrive by 3pm allowing everyone to get more rest?

To add, the very next day we had another 4-5 hour drive. why not do this 8hour drive in a single day and then spend 2nts in a row at the same accommodation?

overall, it was a "fine" tour, not a "good" tour. ”

Overall this tour exceeded my expectations.

The accommodation was unique and excellent especially the Gondwana camps. The only disappointment was swamp stop. Accommodation setting was nice but lodge and rooms 2 star at best. Such a pity as activities on the river were good. Accommodation had, broken doors, cracked cisterns, no to poor lighting in all rooms. very tired and run down.

The timetable is a little tight in places with early starts and long days on the bus with not always enough time to enjoy each location. With no air conditioning I would not like to do this tour peak summer

Overall food was good as a person with special dietary needs no gluten, I carried my own supplementary supplies. Outside of an omlette for breakfast and a main meal of meat snd veg nothing I could eat in way of desserts bar fruit the guide bought on the bus which was appreciated. Special diets should be advised trying bring packaged food they cannot get. gluten free in supermarkets outside Cape Town.

Information on tipping could be improved. While our additional upfront payment covered portage we were not fully aware of addition tipping charges in Botswana and Chobe for drives boats, kitchen staff day guides etc. at the end of tour. Most of us on this trip would have preferred all tips included as a single extra payment so we could just use our cards and not bother with cash and let the driver handle these tips etc, also can get Zimbabwe visa by credit card so don’t have to carry cash. Further we all got rid of our rand only to find we could then use in Namibia.

Small things in the scheme of things but annoying at the time

The guide was courteous, polite, extremely hard working. Always smiling made the trip pleasant and very helpful an excellent ambassador for Kiboko.

If this is the standard of on the go sub contractors I will definite definitely book other tours ”

A great experience, as it was definitely not a holiday. Very early starts, long days over rough roads. It was at times tedious due to the desert landscape, often cold in the morning and very hot later in the day depending on location. No aircon on the truck so avoid going in summer. Mischeck was our guide. He was very good and ensured things ran smoothly most of the time., which is not always easy in Africa. He was friendly, had a good sense of humour and was always available to answer questions. The accommodation in lodges was mostly very good, with a couple of properties not quite up to standard. The food was excellent and plentiful. I would highly recommend the tour from Cape Town to Vic Falls rather than the reverse as most of the animals we saw were in Etosha and Chobe.”

In some respects, exceeded my expectations. Also, though I knew from the itinerary about the driving distances and time to drive between destinations, I didn't realize that I would spend so much time in the truck vs. at the destinations - then dinner, breakfast and off we go again (not a complaint - hindsight experience). The driver has a separate cab and cannot easily communicate with us; the other guide was basically the cook and provided daily instructions, but he was not familiar with South Africa. So between the two of them, we did not receive very much commentary on what we were seeing along the way. I had a guide book, and we got local information from guides who led our tours, but would have liked some "guide-speak" as with most tours - even cruises - which make an effort to round out the travel experience with a little history and comments on what we're seeing. E.g., in Port Elizabeth, as we were driving away, the driver yelled back at us and pointed out the boats in the harbor fished for calamari at night with lights. So enlightening!! The driver was the most knowledgeable and had valuable comments when I asked questions. His driving and helpfulness overall was a very big job on the tour. A++ - exceedingly competent. He went out of his way to do special things that made the trip exceptional in many ways.”

We had a fantastic time on our trip. Adam was a wonderful guide. He was full of knowledge, patience and good cheer. He really did make a great trip even better. We were fortunate with our group as well. Everyone got along and supported each other, Meals were plentiful and tasty. Accommodations exceeded expectations. The one exception was Swamp Stop on the Okavango. While we were there I was looking at reviews for the place because I was wondering what other people thought, One reviewer said that it felt like he was staying in someone's basement. I think that was a fair analogy, right down to the musty odour. Our entrance was a sliding door which we could barely open and close. The sink ran brown water. Some of the office staff were quite surly. When the visa machine wasn't functional due to the inconsistent wifi they charged extortionist rates for currency exchange on cash payment. The bright spot at Swamp Stop was Daniel the biologist who took us out in the boat and shared his exceptional knowledge of the local flora and fauna..

All in all it was a wonderful trip and I would not hesitate to recommend to friends or family. We are looking forward to our next trip to Africa!”

Great tour. Thoroughly enjoyed and meet all my expectations.

Collin the tour guide was very organized and kept the whole tour on track,

He had a good knowledge of the route and was very informative. He was also very friendly and made everyone feel at ease.

The Swampstop lodge was a little rundown and could use some maintenance in the bathrooms.

Sprayview also served meals that were not fully cooked, which had to be sent back. This happened more than once so we stopped eating there.

All the other lodges exceeded our expectations. ”

We would like to have been offered flight options for the long drive sections -specifically Masai Mara-Kilimanjaro and Arusha - Serengeti.

The replacement of Fig Tree Camp with the 2nd Sopa Lodge meant that there were extra hours of driving each day.

We all felt that the tour company should have made alternative arrangements for collecting luggage, rather than give that responsibility to our driver. Again, it meant several hours of extra driving on a day that was already full.

Finally, at the completion of the tour 3 people travelled on to Zanzibar. One left from Arusha around 4.30pm, while we left from Kilimanjaro at 8.30pm. If we had known about the other (easier) flight option, we’d would have taken that. We were also ‘offered’ a very expensive taxi ride to transfer from Arusha to Kilimanjaro when our driver was, in fact, taking the other members of our group there anyway.

We did have an amazing time on our tour and will remember the experience always. Our drivers had incredible knowledge and always did their very best to make us feel safe and cared for. We loved the variety of accommodation, the food was great, and we saw an enormous number of wonderful animals - so many more than we expected!

Thank you for an unforgettable holiday! ”

A wonderful guide and an itinerary that was well explained in the tour descriptions. The long days of travel were expected to cover such vast distances but the quality of the vehicle with a very non shock absorbing ride especially in the back two rows made the journey seem longer. Wonderful accommodation except at the Swamp Stop which was musty and run down. Not a three star by any means. That being said, the staff there were excellent and did a great job of trying to make everything else excellent. Collin was knowledgeable, funny and a perfect driver and guide. Despite this I would recommend this trip to anyone”

Saw so many animals, perfect

Nata Lodge was lovey, Makgadikgadi Pans & Bird Sanctuary was underwhelming but the accommodation was lovely.

Breakfasts were great at all accommodation.

Some lodges did not have refrigerators, Nata Lodge, Shokomoka Safari Lodge, Chobe Safari Lodge, nice to be able to keep snacks cold - not always wanting to eat what's on offer, to have cold water for the next day

Zambezi Mubala Lodge at Caprivi Strip, Chobe Safari Lodge were amazing, comfortable, great restaurants.

Swamp Stop we stayed in Cabin 8, it smelt like cigarette smoke, was comfortable otherwise. ”

Our tour guide Weston and his crew were a delight to have. to watch them set up camp was like watching a well rehearsed play. that involved conversation and laughter.

Weston explained where and what we were to do for the day clearly. Her worked hard at giving us the very best of the tour and was very passionate about his country.

nothing was to much effort for any of the crew and they always had a smile.

the tour itself covered a large area of Southern Africa so there were a few days of long driving which i suspect was very tiring for Weston as guide and driver. ”

Vehicles are too old. Poor seat belts, no individual charging points. My fear of a breakdown was realised.

Overall we had an amazing trip. This trip was subcontracted to a local Africa travel agency- which we did not know. We were picked up at the airport and taken to the hotel. Accommodation was great at each location but sometimes the spaces were better for one group (ie bigger bed). Group size was fantastic- 6 total. The guide/driver was amazing. We were able to see all the major species and get very close on multiple occasions. Issues- communication between subcontractor and on the go- some optional activity not disclosed or discussed ahead of time; the boxed lunches werent great; we weren’t told to pack smaller so we were a bit crowded when luggage and all of us in the jeep; we scheduled a late flight based on on the go but we could’ve gone early- one couple was to leave super early so we were all to leave super early and would’ve had a 12hr wait until our flight. Luckily that couple paid privately to fly instead of drive to the airport so our wait was more like 6hrs at the airport. It was a bummer way to end after such a great trip. ”

Better late than never! How do you Review the best trip of a lifetime? Fifteen fabulous days in the "Truck", even a "bonus" day in Rwanda (which was not on the schedule). Our guide Mwangi, our driver. Nick and our chef, Jerrod (Jerrard?) were brilliant and were in total control of all the aspects of this well organised tour (including the great meals). Our hour in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest , in the almost-spiritual presence of the Kutu gorilla family of eight, was one of the most evocative moments of my life and I am now in my 85th year. The Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Lake Bunyoni and every other aspect of the tour, especially the extensive wild-lifel viewing, were sensational. My highlight; the 20 minutes in the presence of the family of the five male cheetahs on the Masai Mara - "Heaven" ; moments never to be forgotten. The trek was extremely well organised and many thanks to your Tim Johnson for his expert handling and understanding of our needs. The cost - Oh so reasonable for such a marvellous adventure. Ten out of Ten in every respect. Thank you so much.”

The trip was awesome. From the airport pick up to our guides escorting some of us to the border so we could leave early (corona :( )

We saw so many things and a great variety. We were safe and very well fed. Moonya? kept us happy and healthy with delicious mushroom sauce and yummy peanut cabbage. There was always a vegetarian option.

Becky keep us safe on the road and was an excellent driver and helped me with my tent.

Gift keep us organized and informed with a great sense of humour. His love of Africa always shone through. I did find some parts a bit slow. I did not really enjoy so many idle afternoons but some in the group did.The truck should have curtains and some small repairs to the seats but was pretty comfortable for the most part. A source of power in the back would make life much easier.

Campsites were almost all excellent. I was in a great group and the three weeks flew by.

I cannot say enough good things about our crew. A great trip.”

Just to say the tour was superb - mainly due to the Crew Tabisha, Jacob (driver) and Ben (cook). They were first rate.

I have lived and worked in East Africa, mainly Kenya, for many years. During this time I have traveled extensively with friends and independently. I didn’t know what to expect from the overland experience.

I loved it and can’t wait to continue to explore - hopefully next time through Namibia.

This trip was a million times more incredible than I ever imagined. We traveled with and the crew on our trip were just amazing and thanks to our wonderful chef. They put together a seamless, stress-free journey with great food and many laughs. The truck was incredibly well equipped, the tents were lovely and spacious, and the bed rolls were surprisingly comfortable. We didn't feel the need to upgrade our accommodation at any of the campsites.

This trip covered all the highlights with multiple game drives and plenty of opportunity to view the African wildlife. Camping in the National Parks was an absolute highlight. We also had opportunities to visit local villages in Tanzania and Malawi. Zanzibar was just wonderful and felt like a holiday inside a holiday. What a stunning destination with white sand beaches, warm Indian ocean and a tonne of history. There are some long driving days, but that was absolutely required to cover the distance that we did. They provided a welcome opportunity to rest and admire the stunning landscapes. My only complaint is that I couldn't have stayed on this trip for longer!”

We loved the tour, unfortunately were unaware of the amount of bus travel but that is to be expected, and have to say sleeping on mats was a little uncomfortable for our old bodies, but we managed and did upgrade once but still had the opportunity to upgrade at other camps. The camps were all good, although we did run out of hot water on occasion. Any discomforts could be expected as we were camping. I did realise on our return that we only had one opportunity to shop for souvenirs apart from the airport shops, a little more time would have been fabulous. The food was great and plentiful, the staff were fabulous and more than helpful with putting and taking off the clips to the tent, very hard to do.

The tour was great, we really had no idea or knowledge of what to expect but was amazing to see these magnificent wild animals roam where they chose, it was fabulous and would have no hesitation in recommending this tour or your company again. ”

We visited some fantastic places and the included game drives and activities were excellent - the local guides used were always top quality.

The long days driving through Tanzania were challenging, although we were expecting this but leaving one place in the dark and arriving in the dark at the next, travelling all day on two consecutive days was tedious. ”

Fantastic tour that gives a real insight into the wildlife of Namibia. The game drives in Etosha were fabulous and we had great sights and sounds of hyenas feeding and elephants protecting a baby in their group. Our guide, John, worked incredibly hard liaising with the head office in order to allow 4 members of our group to stay in Etosha Park itself for a second night and take part in the night safari.

The tents and meals were of a good standard and the roll mats a lot more comfier than last time I did over landing 15 years ago. Remarkably, I recognised our driver on this trip as he was my tour leader on that overland trip such a long time ago. All the crew were great and good humoured and worked exceptionally hard.

All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable trip that I've already been recommending to my friends.”

The tour took us to places that I didn't even envisage existing the group was great and we did get a true feel for the country. ”

Wildlife was amazing, great time though we won’t miss the long travel days on the truck. Campsites were good, equipment was good. Good range of optional activities. Food was good, thanks to our chef Wyclef. Our guide Hesbon was extremely patient and accommodating to many demands. Highly recommended, our group size of 13 was great, more would have felt cramped given time in transit.”

We had a marvellous time with our guide, cook and driver. We formed a lasting bond. I found Chris to be very very knowledgeable and always on top of everything we needed to do during our tour. He helped us out even before being asked and was full of fun and joined in our games and music and stories and laughter.

This is my second trip with On the Go tours and both have been fabulous. ”

The booking process with On The Go Tours was easy and all queries responded too quickly. This tour joined into a longer tour, but the group were all very welcoming and it was a pleasure to share the tour with them. Todd and Rodney were a great team and were more like members of the group than tour leader and driver, they both had tremendous knowledge of the country. I chose the tour because if the itinerary and it did not disappoint.”

The tour overall is fantastic. It is a great way to have once in a lifetime experiences and see fabulous sights.

However, there are numerous early starts and long days in the truck that are not reflected by the trip notes. There are often times when the group want to stop and see more of the country through which we are travelling but this is not possible due to time and distance constraints.

The tour team were fantastic A little bit more advance notice and information would have been useful though”

We had an amazing tour, perfectly organized by our guide. The driver was very good and secure and the cook prepared delicious food for everyone. The tour included all important places and was well organized.

The truck was quite old and it could be better equipped, e.g. small storage at the seats, walkie talkies for communication with the driver. The staff was very friendly and made everything to get the best experience for us.”

This tour was very well organised with the tour leader Tabi, Driver Laban and Cook Ben. All fantastic guys. There was a good routine which we adhered to and this made everything flow smoothly. The driving was great, very careful and safe. The food was superb. Early mornings resulted in us being at camp early afternoon and making the most of the facilities. The campsites were all good and nearly all had swimming pools and a bar/restaurant. The tents were easy to put up and take down with plenty of room for mattresses and backpacks. A really enjoyable holiday. Tabi was a bit lacking in giving us important information at the evening briefing but Laban made up for this. ”

Tour went extremely well. I’d recommend it to anyone.

Only thought that I expressed to Tabby is that he would be more expressive and clear about what to expect at each stop. I realize things can vary a lot, but we are new to the area and would benefit by more explanation. May have been some language issue, which is expected. However I mentioned to Tabby that he may benefit from some sort of “public speaking” training. Otherwise he was a very personable and helpful guide, especially on a on-on-one interest in us. He was definitely likable and made the tour feel like a personal experience.”

I would have preferred to have more time at the activity centres such as Swakopmund. With an extra day I would have taken part in more activities. The ones that I participated in were fantastic: 3-hour horse riding (11 out of 10), quad biking and sandboarding, camel riding (rather a short trip but otherwise fine).

At the tribal markets (Herero and Himba) I would like to have had a lot more time. This was not the fault of the tour guide. He gave us a time by which to be back on the truck and everyone was on it about 10 minutes before that time. I felt obliged to follow suit and missed out on talking to the locals and also I would have bought more souvenirs. This was especially disappointing since when we got to the camp site we had the rest of the afternoon and evening free. Perhaps a visit to a tribal village would be good but I understand that this might be too intrusive and not welcomed.

The visit to the township in Cape Town was superb. Again, I would have preferred more time and freedom but can understand that this may be impractical.”

If camping doesn't phase you then we'd highly recommend it! It's an adventure from start to finish and a great way to meet new people. We can't thank our guide, Hes, our driver, Steve and chef, Malinga for taking such great care of our group! A huge thanks to all at On The Go for everything too! Hazel and Andy”

This was an excellent tour. We saw a variety of environments, saw many animals, had a variety of activities and really had very little difficulties (one tire issue for a couple of hours one day). I liked the variety, and even though we had many days of long, dusty driving, it was worth it to see as many things as we did. The 22 guests all got along well and the 3 staff were excellent. The guide, driver, and cook were friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and kept us all on track time wise. I would go with them again!

A suggestion: at Elephant Sands I suggest there be an automatic upgrade to a tented cabin. Myself and 2 other girls stayed in the regular tents with a number of others who were tenting. It was a fabulous night watching the elephants from our tent door, but at one point 2 elephants were shoving each other and when one elephant hurried off its back foot caught the edge of my tent and twirled it around. I straightened my tent up, and slept the rest of the night just fine. I loved the experience and wouldn't have traded it for the world, but in the interest of safety, I suggest an automatic upgrade at this site, just add the additional cost onto the overall cost of the tour.”

Our Guide was very informative and told us a lot about life there, especially as a woman. She also introduced us to locals in Kenya as well as Tanzania and we had the opportunity to spend time with them in multiple places. She was always helpful and made sure everything was taken care of.

The tour itself was great, too. Great places to visit (Masai Mara was a highlight, also Musoma and Ngorogoro and Lake Nakuru), great food, all in all an amazing tour with a great group of people.

Thanks for all the help before the tour though l had an amazing time all in all. ”

An incredible adventure. Knox introduced us to Africa, giving us just enough information to keep us safe and interested. He was quick to respond whenever there were concerns on board the truck or with external influences such as vehicle break downs and border issues. At all times we felt safe.

The tour itself was tougher than we anticipated with very early mornings and long hot days on rough roads. But then, that is what helped make it so memorable.”

Had an absolutely fantastic time in the Masai Mara yesterday, we even got stuck crossing a river which was amazing. Took me back to My childhood in Zimbabwe! What a great adventure to be involved in getting the vehicles out and spending time standing along the river in the Mara. We managed to see all the cats except a leopard and the rest of the big five except the rhino which were expected. Thank you to the On the Go Tours, guide, driver, cook and the Masai driven jeeps it was truly a great adventure and the best memory, once again thank you to the team for a fantastic adventure.”

i really enjoyed this solo trip around Madagascar. It was personally enriching, and I was also blessed with exceptional wildlife encounters. I'm thankful for Fetcha, my driver-guide. He accompanied me throughout my journey, which was nice. The road-trips were fun and interesting, and he certainly was very good at balancing things out in the schedule to cater specially to this guest of his.

Think it possibly got pretty slow-paced at the end of my itinerary. (I learnt perhaps i'm not so much of a beach-vacationer at heart, and so might note this down to myself when I plan future trips on my own). Nonetheless, it definitely was very relaxing at Ifaty.”
