★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 52 reviews · 4 days · from $1,120Our pick

Review of a four-day Kruger safari from Johannesburg with Balule drives, bush walks, a starry braai, Kruger, and Blyde Canyon.

“10/10 safari experience. Very well organised, from collection to the game drives. Lovely friendly staff and very knowledgable safari guides. The food was amazing and they went above and beyond to accommodate for dietary reqs. Having breakfast and seeing an elephant walk past the lodge on multiple days was surreal! Lovely pool at Tremisana and time to enjoy the sun. Would highly recommend Viva Safaris”

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 25 reviews · 4 days · from $922

Review of the 4-day Vancouver to Banff and Columbia Icefield tour, with gondola views, glacier lakes, hotels, meals, timing, and value.

“First things first, we booked this excursion in English. The tour guide Hugo barely spoke any of it and the little he did was unintelligible. To the point that the other English speaking guests commented the same to us. Most of the tour was in Chinese! Thank God we did not paid for the meal plan as it is basically Chinese food. Bring snacks and be mindful you will not have great meals as the stops don’t give you enough time to find a restaurant or somewhere to eat. The bus was ok, no blinds, no internet. However the driver 5 stars! He new way more than the guide and…”

7.Yoho, Banff National Park, Okanagan Lake 4-Day Tour from VR

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 21 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $593

Review of a four-day Vancouver tour through Okanagan Lake, Yoho and Banff, with the Banff Gondola, hotels, transport, and practical tips.

“Viator booked us on a Chinese tour unbeknownst to us where we got no narration in English even though there were 8 English speaking travelers. When I asked I was told because 85% were Chinese. It was discouraging listening for 40 minutes of laughing and clapping. We sometimes got one sentence in English. We were pressured to buy the meal plan which I'm so glad we didn't. They stopped at Chinese restaurants for lunch and dinner every day. I tried to explain I have celiac but we were told we need to get fast food when we stopped if we didn't get the meal plan. There were very few options…”

Spend four days in Chitwan with canoeing, jeep safari, Tharu culture, and an exciting overnight stay in a jungle tower.

“I had an amazing experience at the park in Chitwan. The hotel was fantastic—spacious rooms with plenty of space to sleep multiple people. I had a great terrace with a beautiful view. The hotel was well-maintained and very clean. The staff were incredible, always attentive and ready to help. The guides were wonderful, and I had a great time with them. One of the highlights of my stay was spending a night in the jungle, which was absolutely exceptional. I saw so many animals, and it was truly a memorable experience. I had booked a 4-day package, and I think 4 days is perfect to fully enjoy all the activities…”

9.4-Day Salt Lake City, Grand Teton, Yellowstone National Park Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 6 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $988

A practical review of the 4-day Salt Lake City, Grand Teton, and Yellowstone tour, with costs, timing, stops, meals, hotels, and booking advice.

“To enhance the tour experience, it would be beneficial to have both a driver and a tour guide who are punctual on the day of the pickup and proficient in English. Additionally, providing video recordings with translations would be advantageous. Out of the 11 passengers, only four are English speakers. It is inappropriate for the tour guide to primarily communicate in Chinese with minimal English translation. This may be attributed to communication difficulties, but it remains disappointing.”

Spend four days in Chitwan with canoeing, safaris, Tharu culture, bird watching, and a memorable night in a jungle tower.

“I booked this tour after a 5N/6D ABC tour and its the perfect activity. Very relaxing, very different from hiking and you get to see so many wild animals. The tour was well organized from start to finish. I stayed in Royal Tiger hotel for 4 days and it was excellent. The hotel prepared my itinerary for 4 days, arranged for guides and tours, the staff are very friendly, the food are delicious. Highly recommended!”
