WOW! Every aspect of this trip was amazing! It far exceeded my expectations. The National Parks were absolutely gorgeous; the guides were knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and FUN! Their personalized touch for each and every one of the travelers was spot on! The hotels, restaurants and food were also perfect for each location. Every aspect of this tour was well planned and thought out. Each hike or activity (canyoning) was well done! Steve and Bryson are wonderful guides! I hope to book another trip soon.

My wife Robin and I just finished a 9 day adventure of the Mighty 5 National parks in Utah with Austin Adventures. We had a fantastic time.
Our Guides (Steve and Bryson) were the best!! They took us on wonderful hikes in all the parks averaging 6-8 miles/day. The hotels and food were great. The trip was exciting and something I will remember the rest of my life. "Kudos" Austin Adventures for a job well done. Thank you for the experience of a lifetime. We plan to book another trip in the future.

This was my first trip and I wasn't sure what to expect, but it exceeded all of my expectations! It was a retirement gift for me for my husband and myself to take this trip together. First of all, Steve and Bryson are both top notch professional guides and people. They took care of everything, which made our trip stress free and truly enjoyable. I believe the guides can make or break your experience and they were EXCELLENT! The hiking excursions, restaurants, awesome views, home made lunches by the guides, etc. were second to none. The extra friendly and thoughtful touches by Steve and Bryson made our group feel like a family. I have no bad comment or even constructive criticism
about the trip. Truly outstanding! The hikes did push me but they had a good feel for our group's capabilities and took plenty of rest stops when needed.

The trip title should be Makalali private game reserve and Cape Town.
We did not go to Kruger National Park on this trip. Kruger was never listed as part of the safari trip.

1 Flights to SA were not that sorted out. We had to arrive a day ahead, and had to miss the last day shuttle due to our earlier flight. Those disconnects were disappointing.
2 The lodges were wonderful. Probably due to the COVID disruption, walking tours became driven tours. We did see a lot, but I was so looking forward to the walking game drives.
3 I understand the schedule pressures that made the city walking tour in the AM and the climb to Table Mountain in the afternoon. But, that's after another scheduled great (big) meal that most of us decided to miss due to the impending climb.
4 Wine tours were great, but the dining schedules were so compacted that we ate too much in too short a time: Breakfast in Franshoek at 0800, with the wine/foodie tour starting at 1000 in Stellenboesh that lasted to 1300. Lunch followed right after and we didn't finish until 1500. Then dinner at 1800?! All the food were tasty, but it was too much in a very short time. It became an Active Eating Adventure tour.
5 Perhaps because of the 1-3 activity rating that the activities were very light but the eating was heavy? We were used to the 3-4 ratings of the previous trips where the food was hearty but appropriate to the level of activities.
6 Love the tour guide: knowledgeable and full of stories and background of the country. We found out that this was his first tour for Active. He's a keeper.
