We've taken 5 trips with IE, and all were exceptional until the last one. Communication was not as good before and non-existent after we left on the trip (especially when a problem developed). Overall this is a good company, although some of the employees may not be as responsive and/or knowledgeable as they should be. Local travel companies and guides have been excellent on all trips, so I still recommend IE to friends despite our last disappointment,.

We have thoroughly enjoyed 5 major trips with I.E. - twice on safari in southern Africa (once in a small group tour and once as a custom tour for just the 2 of us), cruise to Cuba, Amazon River cruise, and a small group tour in India. And we highly recommend this company.

We have used I.E. for multiple trips. Our experience is that they are a first class company that provides very nice accommodations (but not outrageously expensive ones) and fantastic in-country guides. They do not cut corners like some of their competitors will do. We have closely compared their offerings to ones of cheaper trips to the same place and there's always an obvious reason for the lesser cost companies - less activity/tours during the days, less quality with respect to the guides, seeing fewer unique things in a particular place, etc. If I.E. offers a trip where we want to go, we will always choose them without wondering if we "could do better". We know that we cannot do better with respect to quality and activity.

Custom trip to Uganda Gorilla trek and game drives. Exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Price and value were right on point. Highly recommend checking them out.

These folks know how to do it right. Everything was beyond our expectations. The transportation was clean and on time, the drivers knowledgable, the guides were personable, helpful and with expert skills (with rafting, rappelling, hiking and horseback riding). Food they prepared was tasty and interesting. The other dining was exceptional-tasty, well presented-all good choices. I could not recommend them more highly.

We worked with Kim at International Expeditions to plan a safari for our family of 11 to Tanzania. Kim was absolutely the best -- knowledgeable, responsive, great suggestions and a pleasure to communicate with as travel plans were considered and finalized. Also, IE works with Ranger Safaris in Tanzania, who are the largest and arguably the best of the local safari providers. In the end, the quality of a safari depends on the skills of the driver/guides -- and I have to believe we had two of the very best in the country. Our family safari was a great success...due in large part to International Expeditions and their Tanzanian associates.

I have taken 3 trips with IE over the past few years and will travel with them again. They have excellent itineraries that allow you to experience your destination but without overwhelming you by cramming too much into each day. The expedition leaders and staff are bar none and the acommodations they use are phenomonal. You can’t go wrong with International Expeditions!

Great guide I
