Cape Town Waterfalls Trips

I loved the trip! My most memorable was when the male lion came out so close to us and just stared at us and really didn't care if we were there. I do want to say that it was a little tougher than I thought it would be as far as traveling and having to wake up so early 4 days in a row. I wish we had a little more time to relax. It was a lot of moving around and getting up so early. I understand that we needed to get out on safari early but maybe one day in between to rest. Also, the tipping drove me crazy! Maybe you could work that into the price because it was obnoxious to keep track of. The lodges and hotels were beautiful and very comfortable beds. Our tour manager was fabulous. He was very knowledgeable and always so calm. Very funny, too. The bus drivers were all very good and I always felt safe.

Leon our tour guide was exceptional in every way. He was knowledgeable, well spoken and very organized. He set a positive tone and our group really gelled. The scheduled tours were awesome and we saw so many animals. The 2 meals we shared with local families were very enjoyable.

If was our trip of a lifetime! Every day it got better. So glad we did Safaris and early mornings first leaving Capetown,wineries and a little downtime at the end. Perfect trip!!

Loved all the safaris! Didn’t like the food at The Cresta Mowana and the fact that we had to pay for all drinks, even water. Loved staying at The Wallow and the food was good. Loved staying at the Ivory Tree Game Lodge and the food was good. Our tour manager, Dube, was hard to understand and oftentimes he would speak on the bus with his back to us which us old people had a hard time understanding. He would confuse us by listing too many future events instead of just focusing on the things in the near future that day. Once we started getting written itinerary on WhatsApp, it was better. Still liked Dube.

Thanks to out tour guide Ernest Julius. He was absolutely amazing. Kept us informed on important times and events with great explanations. He was extremely helpful with a lady that got sick and was hospitalized. I couldn’t ask for a better person to guide us on such a great journey. Also a big thank you to Lucky our buss driver for his informative talks on our travel time . He was so pleasant and helpful. And to our safari guide Tiamiou . He was so dedicated to finding the best places for us to view the animals. He worked extremely hard to make the best experience possible for us. . And lastly a big thanks to all the wait staff at all our lodging, restaurants, and the communities for their hospitality. Everyone we met was so helpful and friendly. I still can’t believe how nice they were to us. And to Collette for organizing a truly wonderful experience for us. To all the people that had any part in making our experience in South Africa a trip of a lifetime, thank you , thank you, thank you for the most wonderful experience in my life’s travels. 🫶🏻

Thank goodness we had capable bus drivers that gave us all the information for the different areas. Our tour manager, Claudia, did not have knowledge, experience or expertise in any area concerning a tour management.
