A very professional service with the aim of making it easy for us to enjoy Victoria Falls.
5/5

We have previously used eXplore Plus so it says a lot if one goes back to them for such a travel to Victoria Falls. We did decide to go at short notice due to the high level of the water in the Zambezi River. Communication was clear and quick and the arrangements worked 100%. I did have a quick look at trying to do it myself and realized I could easily get things wrong. Cost wise I could not see any saving if I did it all myself. Mariki was the agent we worked with and she did offer us the cheaper indirect flight options which was a significant saving comared to the direct flight. In the end we went with the cheaper option via Johannesburg instead of directly from Cape Town. The 4 nights at Victoria Falls was great and we did a couple of excursions which we booked via the hotel, Ilala Lodge.

Booking with eXplore Plus Travel & Tours takes all the hassles out of planning travel.
5/5

We travelled to Santorini in Mozambique for a couple of days, promoted and booked with eXplore Travel & Tours. As with all the other tours and travels we have booked with them, everything was hassle free. Excellent service from the host company and accommodation was the best we have ever had. The whole experienced exceeded any promotional material.

Great

5/5

During July 2025 I contacted Explore Plus to enquire about putting together a private tour for me and my sister. We wanted to go to 2 days Cairo and 3 days Alexandria and El Alamein.
I would be leaving from Cape Town joining Hester at OR Tambo, in Johannesburg, on the way to Cairo. I will come back the same way but Hester will transport to London to visit family for 2 weeks.
Bianca organise everything for us, but then we decided to rather go in March as the weather in London will hopefully be better that time of year. Bianca changed all our arrangements and we were ready to go! Then on 28 February the war against Iran started. Explore Plus kept us informed regarding the situation in Egypt and Jordan. In the end we changed Hester's flight to British Air from Cairo and later direct to Cape Town. This was at an extra cost but effectively handled by Bianca.
Our land arrangement could not have been better. Our guides in Cairo (Rana) and Alexandria (Harry) were excellent. I learnt so much about El Alamein from Harry. The food was excellent and all the sightings we requested happened. Will definitely use Explore Plus in the future.
