Let's face it, all the tour companies offer essentially the same itinerary for Africa. What made ours a cut above the rest (and I have travelled with the rest) was our tour guide and driver. Niki was amazing. She was enthusiastic, involved, organized and seemed to enjoy the trip as much as we did. I think she really loves what she does and it showed in her attitude. Her presence is what made a great trip a fantastic trip. Alan our driver showed again and again that he was nothing short of being a true professional. Add to that the quality of the vehicle and equipment plus the varied and quite satisfying food and you get in my opinion the best overland trip offered in Africa. I also was quite impressed with most of the sites that we stayed in, the were a cut above what I was used to. The price also was very good. Overall a excellent trip that was made that much better but a very good company.
