REAL TRAVELLER STORIES

Trusted by Travellers Worldwide

The private vehicle meant we stopped whenever we wanted. Our guide positioned us for 45 minutes while a leopard rested in a marula tree above us. No other vehicles arrived. That is the difference between a private safari and a shared one.

Charlotte & Edward P.

London, UK  ·  South Africa Safari

Watching 400 zebra arrive at the Nxai Pan waterhole at dawn — the first light catching their stripes, complete silence except for hooves on dry earth. Tourist Lads timed this perfectly. I’ve been on six safaris. Nothing has felt as real as this moment.

Ingrid & Lars P.

Stockholm, Sweden  ·  Botswana Safari

Standing on Uhuru Peak at 6am after 7 hours in the dark. The pacing strategy Tourist Lads used on the Northern Circuit is the reason I made it. I’d failed twice before on shorter routes. The acclimatisation day makes the entire difference.

Munich, Germany  ·  Kilimanjaro — Northern Circuit
