Fantastic private tour to South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Dubai and India!
My daughter and I had a wonderful trip to South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe and India as well as Dubai through Ritz's tours. We went on a 3 1/2 week private tour and enjoyed each moment on the Safari's through Chobe National Parks, as well as Hoedspruit - Harmony. Karongwe Lodge was beautiful and the events scheduled were awesome! Lucas, Manager for Karongwe is superb and we all had a great time. Mandlah the Safari Ranger, and our tracker, Oriel were fantastic and they went out of their way to go deep into the woods so that we could spot the lions, zebras, cougars, elephants, giraffes, water buffalos, and impalas. The local tour guides, such as Michael in CapeTown, Bernard in Victoria Falls/ Zimbabwe as well as Richard in Botswana were exceptionally knowledgeable and a great time was had by all! Also, the Mosi-oa-Tunya / Victoria Falls was breathtaking, and the sunsets were awesome! The safari in Botswana was just as good with Mitch as our ranger and tracker. There were a couple of small snafus in South Africa, with pickup at Hoedspruit airport by Buoya Buoya for Travel to Karongwe Lodge and the second transport drive from Johannesburg airport to the hotel; however Kavita from ERM Tours took care of it right away so we felt we were in excellent hands, and no longer worried in the end.
India and Dubai was also fantastic, and the service provided by the local tour company, Travel and Beyond in India was superb! Sanju and his team provides truly excellent service so we also enjoyed our stay in India. We were provided beautiful leis upon arrival and felt very welcomed in India. Our local guides in India were also fantastic, Poonam our guide in Delhi, went out of her way to be sure our stay was fantastic as well as Jay in Jaipur, Chancel in Agra. They were all helpful and made our stay so enjoyable! And of course our fantastic driver David whom we had for the week in India was superb! He always made us feel safe with his great driving, and his timeliness was more than excellent. Between cities before meeting with our local guides, David our driver gave us historical facts of the areas we drove by and we thoroughly enjoyed our drive with him. We couldn't have had a better time without them!
The hotels were top notch and we especially loved the service provided by the hotels, "Trident Jaipur, and Trident, Agra. Dubai was just as fantastic with the local guide Hamzah; and all the destinations within Dubai was fabulous, including the Louvre museum, the Tech museum, the Frame, "At the Top Burj Khalifa" as well as the desert Safari, and the camel rides. All in all, a "10" star rating for the service provided by Ritz tours, Lillian and Olga, as well as the local tour guides in the above mentioned destinations. Thanks!

Duy, the tour leader was attentive, informative and the food we were given was fantastic.

a totally wonderful tour with Tereza who was passionate about Prague s history and her knowledge in general was expansive and was relayed to us with character which made the whole day so enjoyable highly recommended. Prague itself is stunning but to have the added bonus of a place to eat where the locals go and knowledge about this incredible city was very much a bonus.
My wife & I came away thoroughly invigorated after our tour .. really good !

The full two week schedule was well justified (and we added a five day
extension to travel south of Yangon after). The group of 14 were very
compatible, and ranged in age from early 50s to early 70s. Noone had any big
problems with the distances, although the variable tarmac surfaces left most
wishing for more saddle padding than they had brought. . .
The one day of mostly dirt roads and tracks was judged the most fun - the
mountain bikes were designed for this, and there was, of course, no traffic.
More such by-ways if possible please!
Myanmar threw us surprises every day. No amount of reading prepares you for
a temple with over 500,000 buddhas, or a village built over water, where
everything is done by boat (there are no footpaths), or a stupa with more
than 3 tons of pure gold covering it.
Local food is fresh and delicious, local beer seems largely a monopoly of a
brand called 'Myanmar' (presumed to be owned by the military), and the hotels
much grander and newer than I had expected.
Apart from the start and Yangon, all had pools, great for a wind down swim
after a day in the saddle.
Heat was... hot - but bearable as cycling creates its own breeze and most of
the riding was done before lunch.
Every day threw up another wonderful surprise, and cycling between sights was
the ideal way to approach them.
He was extremely good. He had a very good command of English phrase and
idiom and an infectious sense of humour. He encouraged any question - which
was normally greeted with an announcement:
"hey everybody - this is a really good question. . .!"
He worked extremely hard and was a pains to make sure everyone knew what the
plans were at all times.
The cycling is split into roughly 1 hour/ 20 km sections, so make sure you
are happy riding this distance.
There were only two real climbs of note, otherwise rolling countryside was
normal.
You will need more padding for your bottom than in UK!
Its fine to go as a singleton, people ride at different speeds, so you will
find you naturally ride with two or three of the group and its all pretty
relaxed.

A wonderful tour with a well-organised itinerary that provided a good insight
into Burmese daily life. Friendly, welcoming people, stunning scenery, and
thousands of Pagodas. I would highly recommend this trip.
Highlights included the long-tailed boat rides on Lake Inle (seeing the
leg-rowing fishermen at work, stopping to watch skilled craftsmen and women
using traditional methods to make silk wear, cigars, the teak long-tailed
boats, and silverware, plus seeing locals tend their ‘water-allotments’);
our stay in Naung Shwe City (the Naung Shwe City Hotel was lovely and our
favourite); day 9 cycling towards Ma Au village (a long, quiet rural road
and stopping to spend time with the excited village children); and, of
course, visiting the spectacular Shwedagon Pagoda at Sunset.
Naing’s leadership and communications skills were outstanding, as was his
extensive knowledge and boundless energy and humour. Nothing to was too much
trouble and he was mindful not to overload us with too much information at
any one time, nor to over-organise us. It was a pleasure having him as our
guide, and having now completed 15 Exodus trips, I would say he raises the
bar of excellence. Naing’s support team were also brilliant.
A couple of the rides had long inclines, which coupled with a headwind and
the heat of the day, seemed arduous at times. With the exception of one, all
the hotels were of a high standard (and included a hairdryer), far exceeding
our expectations. When staying at the Conqueror Resort Hotel (Shan Highland)
be mindful that whilst the functional wooden lodges appear delightful, the
February night time temperatures drop significantly - the beds do have an
electric blanket but getting out of bed into the cold room was probably the
day’s toughest challenge!
The food was generally very good and we took great care but occasionally
still experienced short-lived upset tums.
In a few locations we did experience polite vendors targeting tourists. In
Yangon beware when asked for donations by young boys purporting to be Monks
– they are fake.
If you enjoy cycling and seeing everyday life, then this trip is a must.

Excellent comprehensive tour of Myanmar discovering scenery, food, local
customs etc. in a completely safe secure and friendly environment.
Discovering the thousands of pagodas at Bagan. A truly unique experience and
should be on the bucket list of any discerning traveller.
Our group leader was, quite rightly, very pleased and proud to showcase his
home country in a way which encompassed humour, humility, efficiency and the
finest traditions of Buddhism.
Be prepared to visit a country embracing tourists in a completely safe
environment but the scourge of plastic bags and other refuse is as prevalent
here as in other poorer countries.
There was NO evidence of police or army presence whatsoever, and it is
difficult to believe the political turmoil of the Rohingya people is within
the same country, albeit very far away.

A lot gets packed into this holiday so it can feel a bit hectic but you get
to see so much of the country it's well worth it. Bagan is amazing, Inle Lake
is fascinating with lots to see, Kalaw shows a very different aspect in the
cool hills, and Yangon & Mandalay, although fairly typical big cities, have
their charms. The people are friendly, the food is great, and there are
unexpected delights all around. The travelling can get a little relentless
but there's only one long drive and the hotels were much better than I
expected. I really enjoyed myself.
Bagan was the real highlight for me, it didn't have the Wow! factor of Angkor
Wat but there was a similar sense of immersion into an ancient land and with
relatively few (other) tourists around it was easy to find peace & space to
appreciate it.
Lae was great - she took good care of us but was always ready with a joke
too.
Grab a card as soon as you check into a hotel and go wandering in the free
time - there's lots to discover and a cab home is cheap!
