We had the most fantastic time. We were totally looked after and have absolutely no complaints from both of the lodges. Lovely accomodation and food and great swimming pools, which seemed to be used exclusively by us, particularly in Phinda. Great down time for the children. They also participated in the wild child side of things and all came home with a ranger certificate! If anyone wants to do Africa with children I would highly recommend both of these game reserves. Thanks for all the work you did to organise this for us and there will be enduring memories for us all and hopefully sparked the travel bug in the children
South Africa family holiday, Justin & Nicola
My holiday was amazing, absolutely fantastic. Africa was definitely the highlight and G Adventures were amazing. I met some lovely people and had a wonderful time and I'm so pleased I went. All of your arrangements worked out perfectly. Everything just went like a dream. So I just wanted to say thank you.
