First solo trip for me, but the tour group staff (and guests for that matter) were excellent - the travelling times whilst long, were well worth it - our tour guide Tshepo and driver Cosmas made the trip effortless with good organisation, clear communication and always timely starts/finishes - the information provided at each location, picture opportunities given, fun activities, good food and basically everything else, made this my favourite trip to date - will defo be doing another Africa tour with the tour operator

The travel specialist was given a huge challenge to arrange a 5 week holiday for us in South Africa with some very specific places we wanted to visit. It was prepared to listen to our demands and also to advise on many things that we were unsure about. We stayed in 14 different places all together and the accommodation arranged for us was perfect. The car hire was also arranged for us and our itinerary planned in detail with maps and detailed driving instructions given. Essentially, for a long complicated holiday we did not experience any problems and the agency obviously played a key role in this with their prior arrangements. This allowed us to focus on enjoying the whole holiday, which is one of the best we have ever had! Thank you, travel expert!

The beach aspects of the tour were underwhelming. Highlights were Tshukudu game reserve (5 star experience) and st Lucia town. Snorkeling at Kosi bay totally underwhelming. Guide was energetic ++, and had the difficult job of balancing younger children with our teenage family. We felt some activities were cut short at times. It often seemed a rush to get to the destination rather than to enjoy the journey. I wonder that the recommended age for this trip should be 10+ - the days are long, and some early starts
