Cape Town National parks Trips

The perfect blend of city life, adventure, and unforgettable safari experiences. Our Trip Manager, Sim, was outstanding—highly professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and an absolute blast to travel with. His expertise on each country we visited was unmatched, and no matter the question, he always had the answer. His ability to speak multiple languages made communication seamless with both locals and guides, adding so much depth to the experience. The safari guides were truly remarkable. Their talent for spotting wildlife—camouflaged in dense trees or hidden in the distance—was nothing short of impressive. Even with their help, I often needed extra direction just to see what they had already noticed! I would do this trip again in a heartbeat—ten times over.

Would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see Africa. It was absolutely amazing! Our Trip Manager is the most special thing to ever happen to Contiki, he cared about everyone in our group and we all loved him right back. TM was professional, approachable and inclusive also his knowledge of the local languages and history was fantastic. The accommodation is really good especially in Victoria Falls the resort is gorgeous. Activities like the game drives, village homestead tour and camping in Chobe National Park are spectacular once in a lifetime experience. In short, book the the trip because you won’t regret anything except when it’s time to come home!

I can’t put into words how incredible the Southern Africa safari was. From start to finish, it was better than I could have expected. Seeing the big 5 in their natural habitat was a highlight. Every game drive brought something new and unforgettable, the beauty of the landscapes and all of the wildlife sightings made every moment feel surreal. Jesse the trip manager made the trip what it was, so knowledgeable, organised, and genuinely passionate about wildlife and culture. He took care of every detail, so we could completely enjoy the journey. From sharing interesting facts and stories during long drives to accomodating everyone’s needs made the whole adventure seamless and special. Cant thank the time and effort he put into this trip enough. The most unexpected gift of this safari was the incredible group of fellow travelers I met along the way. Sharing these weeks with such amazing people, now lifelong friends, was something I never saw coming, but will forever treasure. While i truly enjoyed the overall safari experience and appreciated the efforts of the team, i felt that a few of the game drives, given their significance to the experience, would have been better included as part of the main package rather than offered as optional add-ons. Including them upfront would have provided a more seamless and complete safari experience.

This was an action-packed intro to Africa, it had it all!! Beaches, safaris, cities, adrenaline-sports and amazing people!! Our trip manager was awesome and had heaps of local knowledge and passion for wildlife. I wish I’d had time to extend and see more but the 11days had so much that it still felt like 7 holidays in one trip :)

This was the best trip we’ve taken! Our trip manager, was organized, friendly, knowledgeable and fun. Can’t say enough good things about him! All the activities offered were above our expectations and the trip as a whole went very smooth.

Cannot say enough good things about this trip. Excellently scheduled, meticulously coordinated, everything went seamlessly. I had never heard of Contiki before or done group travel and I was blown away. All the destinations are well done with excellent activities and incredible excursions. When family and friends ask me to pick a highlight, I honestly have to just say the whole trip. Trip manager was incredible. My only wish is that I could do this trip for the first time all over again!!
