Customer Reviews

    · August 30th, 2023
    Our 9 day CroisiEurope tour from Johannesburg to Victoria Falls was excellent. Well organised with a program packed with interesting educational opportunities along with the varied safari drives. Accommodation was superb. Although most fellow tourists will be French speaking the guides were all English speaking enabling us to learn much about their country's culture and history. Downloading the Google English/French translator app helped greatly. Not a cheap holiday but well worth the money.

    This trip was a 10 out of 10 for us. Starting with an amazing day in Johannesburg, we had wonderful days in Chobe National Park and on the boat on Lake Kariba. The dramaturgy of the individual excursions by water, jeep and on foot made each day a new adventure. The numerous encounters with local animals and people remain deeply in our memories. Everything was accompanied by cordial service and was at all times professional in solving one or another challenge. Our group consisted of 80% French participants. Despite our limitation to the English language, a beautiful, relaxed friendship developed. The accommodations were all of high quality. The food was French delicious and always a treat. For us it was a bit too meat and fish heavy. A vegetarian alternative would have been welcome on some days. Overall, we had one of the best vacations of our lives and were in the best hands with Croisi Europe and TourRadar.
