The last time my dad and I took a good long trip together, I was probably so young and naive I don’t hardly remember the experience (a trip to North Carolina I believe?). More recently, we’ve managed camping and backpacking trips for 3-5 days here in Montana. However, nothing quite prepared us (together) for our upcoming trip abroad. Traveling a handful of hours to a trail head in Montana doesn’t really equate to travel to a new continent.
I hadn’t even given him the full details when my dad committed to taking an 11-day trip with me to Ecuador. It was his first time leaving the boundaries of North America and my first venture to South America. In addition, neither of us had ever experienced “planned” travel like we did through Adventure Life.
So, the first thing you have to do when you’re traveling with your dad is appreciate the small moments - my favorite being my arrival to the Atlanta airport. He was waiting patiently in Terminal C, where our trip began. I was coming from terminal E and, following the many clearly marked signs, found my way. Along the way, I found other directions too - text messages from Dad, directing me step-by-step through the Atlanta airport until I found his smiling face. Thanks, Dad. I wouldn’t have made it through Atlanta without you.
Excellent safari trip with Adventure Life and Albatross Travel. Special shout out to our guides Eric Turasha (Kenya), and Blasi Shirima (Tanzania) from Albatross Travel. Both were world class!!! The trip went off without a hitch; all the camps were amazing…worth mentioning...one of the camps we were going to stay in on the Tanzanian side was damaged by high winds so we ended up in a different camp (Mara under Canvas Camp). Can't say enough good things! A great experience and superb service!!

My tour operator was helpful. Unfortunately she was unable to get my single-supplement canceled. Not too many tours charge for that anymore and I almost canceled my trip because of that.

Adventure Life went above and beyond to care for all our travel needs!!! From the flights, to the accommodations, the tours, the tour guides, the transfers, the scheduling, everything was top notch and our minds were blown away!! It was so nice to be able to travel to another country that we’d never been to before and have every detail laid out for us!! No stress, no searching where to go, what to do, fighting with tourist crowds, getting rental cars, etc…..,it was all done for us, very organized and worth every penny!! We will definitely use Adventure Life for our future travel plans!!! A+++
