Angola was a wonderful destination: beautiful natural sites, wonderful cities, interesting culture. The itinerary was a perfect mix of all the elements and activities that one would want to do in Angola. Logistics were very well handled, including domestic flights and bus rides (even if some were long and bumpy, since we were warned in advance). The hotels were fine - completely satisfactory 3 star hotels. Group meals were very good - well researched and appropriate for everyone. The Angolan tour partner Eco Tur was exceptional - their guides were knowledgeable, courteous, professional, and expert troubleshooters. They did a stellar job of coordinating our itinerary and getting us from place to place. Lex Hes is an excellent Tour Leader, adding value to the program with his knowledge (especially of wildlife) and his good relationship with the local tour provider. Angola is a “new” destination, so that makes it all the more impressive that this trip was delivered so expertly. Great job, Miru, Lex and Eco Tur (especially Paul, Bruno and Kikus). I’m so happy that I did this trip with you!

Truly excellent in every way

Great itinerary, great leaders, lovely hotels, fantastic food and, Morocco is a spectacularly beautiful country.

beginning with our stay at The Okura in Tokyo, our second journey to Japan under the guidance of Miru was flawless.

Variety of locations and accommodations.

We had a wonderful well-rounded experience of Morocco. We liked the mixture of bigger cities to quieter ones.Shirley and Madoni were great guides finding us wonderful places to eat and we stayed in some of the most remarkable places. Our favorites were the Sahara and Chefchaouen but we still couldn't believe seeing Spain so close. All the adventures through the medinas were amazing and I wouldn't want to do it without a guide or map! We also enjoyed the Roman ruins at Volupilis and it may have been Beni Mallel but we stopped at a Kasbah to climb to the top and then ate at a independent women's co-op where they were making life on their own. All our experiences were truly enriching. Even being pampered at Kasbah Tamadot was a wonderful treat in the middle to rejuvenate!

This trip covered a lot of ground, from the Saharan desert to the Atlas mountains to the central plains to the coast, exploring the peoples, histories and cultures of each in turn. I believe we experienced as much of Morocco as one possibly could during a trip of this duration. Travel with Shirley Campbell is always a delight. Even though this was the first excursion to Morocco that she has led, we benefited a great deal from her knowledge and preparations; perhaps on future trips a means can be found for her to present a lecture or two along the way. Highly recommended for an explorer's first visit to a fascinating and beautiful place. And the food was spectacular!

Everything was just first class. With our group size, all the decision making was taken out of the trip which led to just having fun and enjoying the adventure. Convenience was at a premium. Boats came to the resort shore, food was on the table and delicious, and buses comfortable and spacious. Sam was particularly knowledgeable, communicative and always thinking about us and our comfort. He was amazing! I particularly liked that we donated supplies to a local school - the highlight of the trip. Loved it!
