Kruger National Park Adventure Trips

I couldn’t recommend this trip more, it exceeded all of my expectations! It was genuinely the most present, joyful and fun two weeks I have had in the longest time. Our TM was so so fantastic and exceptional at his job - he made us feel so safe, relaxed and supported. This trip was such an adventure and I’d jump at the chance to visit all these places again! The itinerary was phenomenal - it is jam packed but you get to see so so much! Depending on the time of year you go, make sure to bring your electrolytes and a fan (we went in September and it gets HOT!). Also don’t expect a super clubbing/going out drinking itinerary, there is opportunity to do that occasionally but it is not the focus of this trip at all- this was actually a big draw for me and it was the perfect - think chilled evening/sunset beers. The accomodation was really lovely and way nicer than we expected. The camping special stays were also very comfortable and amazing experiences. You are in the bush so be prepared, there are insects, spiders etc. It can also get dusty on some of the game drives so bring a neck buff or silk scarf too. The water rafting is intense so only do it if you are into extreme activities. All the food was great and so cheap when comparing to what the AUD gets you at home. We didn’t have to worry about food safety once, everything was fresh and delicious. Also, Africa gets a bad wrap safety wise and as a young woman I had some pre-trip anxiety, but I felt really safe the entire time so please don’t let that stop you from booking a trip to Southern Africa.

I recently joined the Contiki Cape to Delta Safari, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The itinerary was packed with incredible wildlife encounters, stunning landscapes, and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Our guide, was phenomenal—extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and always ready to help. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable, informed, and getting the most out of the journey. Another highlight was the amazing third-party partners Contiki worked with along the way. From safari operators to local guides, every collaboration felt seamless and added so much authenticity and richness to the trip. You can really tell they’ve built strong relationships with the best people in each region. The only downside was our time at Victoria Falls. As breathtaking as the falls are, we unfortunately only had about 40 minutes to enjoy them. Because some of the group opted for bridge activities, the rest of us had to wait and ended up feeling rushed through the experience. It would be much better if those not participating in bridge activities were able to head to the falls earlier, giving everyone enough time to fully appreciate one of the natural wonders of the world. Overall, this trip was absolutely incredible and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a mix of adventure, wildlife, and culture in Southern Africa. With just a little more time at Victoria Falls, it would have been perfect.

This was my first contiki trip and I did not know anyone before the trip, but it was fantastic. We spent a lot of time doing game drives so that we got to see a lot of animals. We also got to do more cultural activities as well, which was important to me. The trip leader was fantastic, and all the people he worked with along the way were also great. I learned a lot. If you are interested in going on a safari trip, but are not sure how to get around or where to go, this is a great way to do it.

The Cape to Delta Safari with Contiki was the trip of a lifetime! The itinerary was well balanced with safaris and other curated activities, all of which were fantastic. The hotel accommodations were perfect and the camping exceeded my expectations. The highlight of the trip, though, was our guide. He went above and beyond to make sure every we got the most out of our trip. I cannot recommend this trip and Contiki enough!

The best trip ever! I am enchanted by Africa, and will absolutely be back! Our tour manager did a fantastic job in facilitating that!! He was organized, knowledgeable, and fun, and he handled any issues so smoothly that we rarely noticed them. I really appreciated that the tour manager was from the region and from the countries we visited, as he had in-depth knowledge and an unrivalled passion for the area.

This trip was the best group tour I have ever been on, I have been on roughly 10 in total between different companies. I feel this tour has a good mix of city activities in Cape Town, adrenaline activities at Victoria falls and Safari days between Kruger and then Delta. I was impressed by the quality of the accommodation. I would 100% recommend and even consider re-doing it at some point myself.
