Tours
When Going Alone Isn’t the Best Option
We are generally independent travellers, which means we don’t book a tour unless it serves a specific, crucial purpose. This category is for those trips that require a bit more structure, whether for access, logistics, or safety.
We book tours only when they are the most reasonable and responsible way to experience a destination. This includes getting to hard-to-reach places, such as our overland camping adventure through southern Africa, where the right vehicle and group are non-negotiable. It also applies to destinations where a knowledgeable, local guide is essential for safety and cultural understanding, like our time exploring Egypt.
Every tour you see here is the result of deep research, aimed at finding the most affordable and high-value option. We share the deals, the providers, and the honest truth about when to ditch the map and trust the experts to get you to those incredible, far-flung locations.
Our detailed 24-day Madagascar Trip Report! We hiked the razor-sharp limestone of Big Tsingy with harnesses, cruised the Tsiribihina River, saw 21 lemur species (including the Indri!), and watched sunset at the Avenue of the Baobabs. Find out what we ate and why Tojo was the best guide!
We ended our year of adventure with two weeks of Fiji island hopping! Using an Awesome Adventures package, we snorkeled with reef sharks and swam with majestic manta rays. Our itinerary included Bounty Island, Wailaili Island (Naqalia Lodge), and the famous Blue Lagoon caves and coral. Bula!
Our epic Tanzania Part 2 adventure: the 6-day challenge of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro (and turning back at 5,200m), followed by a 4-day safari across the Serengeti, Tarangire, and Ngorongoro Crater, including a spectacular leopard kill.
