Full-Day Land Rover Safari from Heraklion with Lunch - Meeting the shepherds at a mountain mitato

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,351 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $113Our pick

Review of Crete’s full-day Land Rover safari from Heraklion, with mountain villages, Zeus’s Cave, local lunch, and practical tips.

“George was an amazing guide and driver. He showed us the other Crete, far from the tourist spots along the coast. The coastal spots are justly proud of their beauty and history. The interior of Crete is a vision to behold. The topography is stunning. We got to meet a shepherd who makes goat cheese the traditional way; and we got to meet his goats. We saw a tree in Krasi frequented by writers like Niko Kazantzskis. And we got a history lesson on the struggles of the local inhabitants to simply live their lives. George was a wealth of knowledge on the various local views and customs when queried…”

Review of Addo Elephant National Park’s 9-hour safari, with elephants, Big 5 wildlife, lunch, hotel pickup, and expert guides.

“Unforgettable safari with an outstanding guide! Our safari at Addo National Park was absolutely incredible, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing guide, Freddy. From the very start, Freddy’s deep knowledge of the park, its history, and its wildlife made every moment fascinating. He didn’t just point out animals - he shared stories, fun facts, and insights about the ecosystem, turning each sighting into something truly special. We were thrilled to see almost the entire Big Five, an unforgettable highlight of our trip! Freddy’s sharp eye and experience meant we spotted animals we would have easily missed on our own. He also knew the best routes…”

Review of Crete’s 8-hour Land Rover safari, with mountain roads, Lake Kournas, local tastings, swimming, lunch, and olive oil.

“We are glad that we went on the trip as it was a great day out and it was an experience to go off-road over the mountains! The views were spectacular. Our guide was pleasant but we felt he could have been a bit friendlier, perhaps it was an off day. We enjoyed stopping off at the beautiful church and going on to taste the honey, wine and tea. The lunch was nice at the restaurant just across from the beach allowing us to swim in the warm Libyan Sea. It was quite fast paced and at times it felt a little bit rushed to fit everything in within the…”

“We booked a full-day safari, and the jeep picked us up from our accommodation exactly on time.

We saw elephants, buffaloes, peacocks, deer, mongooses, birds, toucans, a crocodile, and even a leopard at the end. Damith always tried to position the jeep so we had the best possible view of the animals, and he was happy to share interesting information about them. Breakfast was provided, and between 12:00 and 14:00 we had lunch by the ocean, as jeeps are not allowed to drive inside…”

Also he does its best to get you the perfect spot! After this experience I would like to advice…”
