"I was so excited to set off on this deep desert expedition, even though I was a little nervous before we left. I booked this trip as an inexperienced 4x4 driver mainly to take myself out of my comfort zone, leave my hectic media work behind and undertake something that is not weekday – and I couldn't be more excited! I can wholeheartedly confirm that from the moment I first contacted Active 4x4 Adventures and Barrie, I knew I was making the right choice! Barrie is the very definition of experience! He'll take you through some of the most breathtaking landscapes with a deep respect for nature, local culture, and your own space. He gave me just the right amount of encouragement at just the right moments to ride up that difficult slope or overcome a technical piece without being pedantic. What is especially remarkable is Barrie's absolute calm and self-confidence that emanates from this tour leader. I felt totally at ease as a newcomer on this amazing adventure! This tour was incredible! It brought me more than I expected, gave me mental peace, took me through fantastic landscapes and I did things with a 4x4 that I thought were impossible. All in an amazing atmosphere of peace, discovery, nature, and touring! The absolute added value of this trip is that Barrie cooks for you! He does it so efficiently, and the food is nutritious and delicious. He takes care of you completely – while you can enjoy the scenery. I can't recommend Active 4x4 Adventures highly enough and give them a 5-star ranking. Barrie has a wonderful project, and it was an incredible adventure to be able to participate in it. Thank you Barrie, you will tour guide me a next trip!" Chris Demeulemeester

 

"Having come across Active 4X4 Adventures on Facebook, I was a little concerned about how legitimate it was. I made contact, and my mind was completely put at ease, after a really informative conversation with Barrie. I booked the Botswana 4X4 Safari that took place 16-30 August 2024. The communication prior to the trip was excellent, and the trip started as planned, with us all meeting up at the airport in Gaborone. The vehicles were waiting, and a full demonstration of the equipment was given. We then set off for the Kalahari Desert, and up to the game reserves in the North. Over the next 14 days we travelled and camped in a variety of fantastic settings, some remote, and some with excellent facilities. The wildlife was amazing, and Barrie proved to be very knowledgeable on what we were seeing, and the local history. Meals were produced with tasty lunches followed by a variety of evening meals, sometimes cooked on a 'braai' over wood fire embers. The standard of food certainly exceeded my expectations. There were a couple of glitches in the planned activities (we were in Africa after all), but these were quickly resolved, and alternative activities organised, which were as good, if not better, than the original plans (Mokoro River Safari in place of River Boat Cruise). I would recommend everyone to add Africa to their must-do list, and this trip met all the expectations I had, especially as we stayed away from the busy tourist hot spots, and were immersed in the true African Bush."

"We are still buzzing from the amazing trip in Morocco. We have both travelled extensively in the past but this trip was genuinely one of the best experiences we have ever had. It is an exceptionally well-planned itinerary - there is an abundance of adventure, fun, culture, breath-taking views and new experiences. We loved the variety of riads, caspahs, hotels, and camps we stayed in. Each one was completely unique but they were all charming in their own right and all very comfortable. Barrie and Louis were a fabulous team of hosts; great chefs and super helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We were travelling as a family with our young autistic daughter and Barrie was so exceptionally considerate of her throughout. She is still talking about him now : ) If you are looking for a genuine adventure - off the beaten track, driving up stunning sandbanks in the middle of the Sahara desert, but still with the luxuries of delicious food, comfortable beds, warms showers and a few hours of wifi, then this is your trip. For families who want a more unique trip, look no further. We will be booking another trip with Barrie for sure." Rickard & Jemma Jardemar
