Georgia L. | Traveled in December
This trip was incredible, and I can't wait to do it again! It was my first Contiki tour, and it certainly won't be my last. I highly recommend this trip, especially the safari. Our tour guide, was fantastic! His knowledge and passion for the job made the experience even more enjoyable. I truly appreciated everything he shared and his dedication to making our trip memorable.
Anonymous | Traveled in November
Everything about the tour was outstanding, from accommodations to the game drives. Overall, our tour manager - Tyce DeWet - made the trip. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and always made everything we did run smoothly and efficiently. I’ve taken other guided tours and he was, hands down, the Very Best tour guide/manager I have ever encountered. Any potential issue during the tour was managed and resolved expertly and seamlessly.
Megan S. | Traveled in November
This trip is no doubt one of the best I've ever been on! Our trip manager was fantastic, always bringing the energy, but he also has a genuine love for showing people his home, which added to the experience when he was sharing stories of the culture and history in Southern Africa. Of course the highlights had to be the game drives with so many awesome sightings, as well as the group I was in! It was hard to say goodbye after all the friendships we made. Would absolutely recommend! 🤩
Nanette B. | Traveled in November
The tour was amazing. The most memorable experience was the tented camp, with Elephants drinking from the pool. Monkeys everywhere and being able to look out the doors and see wildlife all around.
Kate | Traveled in November
I’d recommend this trip to absolutely anyone thinking about visiting South Africa. It’s such an incredible way to see places and experiences you’d never stumble across on your own, and you really get to immerse yourself in the amazing cultures across SA. All the accommodations very great, the food was also good & the trip add ons were alot of fun! But the true highlight was our Trip Manager. He made the entire experience unforgettable — his knowledge of South Africa, his constant positivity, and his hilarious personality brought our whole group to life. He genuinely made the trip what it was. You do spend a lot of time driving on the bus which typically isn’t ideal but and the group made it so fun and I actually looked forward to a travel day.
