Lupine Travel Reviews 

I travelled with Lupine to Socotra. It was one of the best trips I've ever been on. The island itself was absolutely incredible, with a huge range of unique experiences.
The tour was led very well, and our Lupine tour leader was instrumental in helping us make the most of our time there, whilst ensuring everyone's priorities were accounted for.
The local guides were brilliant, and went above and beyond in making the experience unforgettable.

Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore Socotra.

- itinerary is great. Local guides are wonderful.

- Lupin does not have up to date and accurate info. Did not need to buy abaya for Aden, wasted $19 and space in luggage. PCR test in Aden was not needed to get into Egypt. Another wasted $40.
- Since our tour leader is only a part time guide and has never been to Socotra, she was not able to inform us ahead of time on what to expect. She also spent all her time with the young men and did not pay adequate attention to us older folks.

The trip was packed with great sights, colorful markets and friendly people. I wanted to visit Timbuktu since I was a child. Thanks to Lupine that wish was finally fulfilled.

We had a wonderful tour to Mauritania with Lupine travel and it definitely exceeded expectations. Everything was well organised, the guide was amazing and we discovered so many incredible places, nice people and of course unforgettable iron ore train. Can highly recommend and already looking forward to my next tour with Lupine!

Fabulous trip, great guide and well organised by the wonderful Rebekah!! Well done all!!

I went to South Sudan with Lupine in Feb 2022. South Sudan is a country where a lot of things can go wrong, but Lupine was so well organized that it went off without a hitch. The local guide Nick did a fantastic job managing everything, and the local team was on top of everything as far as transportation, permits, camping, and meals were concerned. I really had a fantastic time, and I'm looking forward to more tours with Lupine in the future.

This was my very first trip with Lupine Travel, what a wonderful company they are, all the staff are helpful before the trip, they offer some amazing trips, I have another 2 booked and will continue to travel with Lupine, Oli tour leader and Hademine tour guide along with the cook and drivers was amazing too. I really enjoyed the tour and look forward to the next one in July

I recently joined the Mali Highlights tour and I must say it was magnificent!

From the initial booking process, to payments, to full tour information, the pre-trip meeting and the tour itself, Lupine offer superb service.

The trip itself was brilliant. The sights of Bamako, Segou, Sans, Djenne and Siby are wonderful and I felt safe throughout the tour.

Lupine have now made me a returning customer and I will be joining them on more trips this year.

Just recently returned from a Lupine organised tour to Mauritania. The experience from start to finish was superb with clear organisation, communication and support. Their teams showcased professionalism throughout centred around their travellers making the tour one to remember with lots of surprises along the way. Mauritania itself was an incredible experience with camel rides into the desert, bathing at the Terjit Oasis, travelling on the iron ore train and seeing many cities, learning about their history and culture. I would highly recommend future travellers tour with Lupine.

Fantastic service and fab tour! Mauritania is more than just iron ore! The local team and the activities will remain with me for a very long time. Mauritania has stolen a part of my heart and all credit for that goes for lupine and Had.

Superb company, travelled with them to North Korea a few years back and it was amazing tour / service.
This review is more in relation to there recent handling of a cancelled tour (due to no fault of there's)
Handled superbly with several options offered, anything from a refund, credit note or transfer to another tour.
Will be booking on another tour soon....
Very responsive on email and how a travel company should be.

Our December 2021 Central America tour was cancelled due to Covid issues. I decided to go to San Salvador anyway, and Dylan at Lupine introduced me to Salvador Sagastizada, who would have been our tour guide, and his newly hired interpreter, Douglas Aguilar Zelaya. I wanted to interview survivors of the Civil War, which took place from the late 70s to the 1992 truce. Salvador was extraordinarily conscientious. He introduced me to many interviewees I could never have dreamt of meeting otherwise as well as important sites I would not have been able to visit alone. From the time I was picked up at the airport to the time I was dropped off at the end of my stay, he and his team made sure everything was safe and smooth. Douglas Aguilar, the translator, is completely fluent in both Spanish and English, as he spent many of his adult years in the U.S. Team members Suleya and Jackie were always kind and helpful. I am grateful to this excellent team of guides as well as to Lupine for affording me this opportunity to learn about El Salvador by getting a glimpse of various Salvadoran viewpoints.

Well planned and executed tour except for the last 2 days. As you are not doing west Sahara, the extra time is not well planned . I would suggest a day trip to south Mauritania instead of an extra day in Nouakchott with virtually nothing to do.

The joining and leaving hotels, in my humble opinion, should be centrally located…. Especially in a country like Mauritania… However, in our case the hotels were away from restaurants etc. will be great if we can work on that.

The local guide is awesome and the tour leader did a great job.

Overall, some tweaks will make this even better

excellent tours. well organized, an absolute guarantee for travelling even in difficult destinations.

Just returned from a fantastic trip with Lupine to Mauritania - get on the plane, get on the train - enjoy!

The tour was filled with experiences that were appropriately modified to meet the needs of the tourists We had a desire to see the Tigris, and our guide Sardar allowed us to do this by making an unexpected detour and stop. The visit to the Yazidis made the tour particularly meaningful. This religion is a perfect blend of the world's religions, a living historical document. The tour was truly unforgettable.

A wonderful company filling a niche for adventurous travellers at very competitive prices. Its tours are full of repeat customers like me. Throughout the covid crisis when the large tour operators were doing all they could to cling to customers' deposits, Dylan the owner of Lupine was emailing all his customers offering them full refunds. While the tours it offers wont be everyone's cup of tea, for those who can put up with a bit of hardship to see strange places, there is no real competitor

It was yet another amazing trip with Lupine. As on previous trips they guided me from the step I booked till I come back safely home. I really admire their professionalism even in those hard times, where there is so many changes in regulation/requirements. I can highly recommend Sierra Leone and Liberia trip as this is great mixture of nature&culture experience.

Wonderful experience with Lupine Travel's trip to Libya. It's a more complex visa and entry process than most, and Lupine took care of all the details to make entry smooth and effortless. The tour itself was wonderful, and our two guides were incredible conscientious and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Incredible tour, extremely well organized, all corona obstacles managed.
