Guides who exceed expectations! Their professionalism and positivity are truly commendable.

Guest feedback:

First and foremost, we would like to express our sincere gratitude for the entire experience. We are truly overwhelmed by everything we had the opportunity to witness.

Our standout moments undoubtedly included the majestic Victoria Falls and the breathtaking helicopter flight over it. The Okavango Delta, coupled with the sunset cruise and the boat excursion through the Delta, was a delightful experience. Spending a night under the stars left a lasting impression on us, despite the chilly weather. The Moremi National Park proved to be an ideal setting for our game drives. Initially, we were apprehensive about having three full days of game drives, but they turned out to be essential, and time seemed to fly by quickly.

The meals consistently exceeded our expectations, and the external guides were exceptional. As for Takalani and Raphael, we could not have asked for better guides. They assisted us with every aspect, addressed all our inquiries, and maintained a positive atmosphere within the group from start to finish. They were truly exceptional! We are already planning to return to Africa for another Drifters tour.

Ken and Gary immersed themselves in the unique cultures of the Datoga tribe, known for their metalwork, and the Hadzabe tribe, East Africa’s hunters and gatherers akin to the San people.

They learned about the purposes of different arrowheads and practiced animal sounds and impersonations during their enlightening experiences with these indigenous communities.

Today, on , we would like to highlight the importance of rhino conservation and education in our industry.

On 2 of our adventures we provide our guests with the opportunity of getting up close & personal with the white rhino in its natural habitat through a one-of-a-kind, on foot rhino trekking experience.

This activity is run by a long-standing local travel partner, who for decades, have spearheaded rhino conservation in Southern Africa and It involves a walking safari with a trained & knowledgeable guide, in search of these magnificent giants. It is through this immersive encounter that our adventurers gain awareness about the importance of preserving what little remains of the white rhino population in Africa.

"The trip was very nice; we saw so many animals. All the people were so friendly. The guides were incredible, kind all the time, always wary about our safety and cared about everything.

Drifters expansion has been gradual and calculated, and over the last 3 decades we have earned an enviable reputation for offering unbeatable value for money.
