This definitely was my “best mongoose bmx trip ever”. I want to write a detailed review of our trip this January. It was literally the BEST trip we have ever taken! I attribute this to our wonderful guide, Wolfugan, who I understand has worked with Gate 1 for 18 years. He met us, along with another couple at the Kilimanjaro Airport, and we opted to ride in his vehicle for the entire trip. Wolf’s knowledge of everything was extraordinary.
Just wanted to expound on my delightedness of my South African trip. Belinda is a true jewel in the Gate1 crown. She was everywhere at once and made my group’s experience totally wonderful.
Charl’s passion for his work, his country and his clients are apparent in his every sincere action. He not only is an excellent organizer and cohesive for our group, but also freely gives personal attention and care to each individual. For example, when we went on a wine tour and I don’t drink, he purchased a delightful non-alcoholic option for me and showed me around the grounds. He offered handicap options to a temporarily disabled fellow traveler at each destination with care and dignity. He imparts a wealth of information and knowledge about our destinations in a way that is interesting and humorous.
We had the most fabulous tour guide (Jele) who was beyond knowledgeable, with a wonderful personality. I met some very wonderful fellow travelers in our group! Great itinerary, hotels, food, experiences and schwinn electric bike fellow travelers and I can’t say enough about our travel director, Charl.
We were able to catch them nursing. We also saw a lioness with her 1-yr old 2 cubs relaxing in a tree. Our elephant encounters in Tarangire NP were very exciting, we saw lots, including baby elephants. The Great Migration was another highlight, and we saw literally 1000’s of animals on the Serengeti plains. The pace of the tour was very fast, but perfect schwinn mountain bicycles in my opinion.
