Family South Africa’s Garden Route and Safari - December 2025

(1 review )

No booking fees

Best price guaranteed

Great trip with good mixture of activities and wildlife. The weather was perfect for an August trip - warm during day, cooler at night, and fortunately only 10 minutes of rain in 2 weeks. Well looked after by our guide Bianca. Food was very good value. Expect some flexibility in the itinerary - we couldn’t sea kayak due to choppy sea but alternative hike was great. Highlights were climbing Table Mountain (2-3h strenuous hike), surfing lesson, optional Whale Watching boat trip, Addo Elephant National Park and optional Schotia Private Game Reserve drive on the morning of departure.

I’ve been wanting to visit South Africa for many years, and this was an ideal way to see it! I loved the higher end accommodations, the safaris were outstanding. Wonderful CEO and guides who were clearly passionate about wildlife.

This was a really packed holiday with plenty opportunities to see wildlife, learn about the history and current events in the areas visited. Although long distances were travelled some days there were breaks to see local markets, glass factory and local crafts. The scenery was spectacular with time for walking, exploring and swimming in the Ocean There was the chance to opt in to additional excursions or to just chill The guides were all excellent- very good at spotting the wildlife and with a wide breadth of knowledge Our tour leader was especially good at keeping us organised and informed in a relaxed and fun manner Accommodation was an interesting mixture of eco villages but all with comfortable beds and en suite facilities

Very fast paced but we get a lot of activities is that make it worth it. Our tour manager *Personal details removed by Feefo* was the best. He’s very knowledgeable, keeps us on track, and made the bus rides so much fun. We had a few activities cancel due to weather but *Personal details removed by Feefo* always made sure there was more to do to make up for it.

This trip was an incredible introduction to South Africa! I learned so much about the culture, food, and animals in such a short time. The CEO was well organized and had a positive attitude that kept the group upbeat and consistently on-time. The accommodations were excellent and clean with friendly staff. It's a trip I'll never forget!

My trip lived up to every expectation I had and more. Both my mom and I could not have been happier with the trip and everyone who was in our group. It really was a top lifetime experience! My mom has some limited mobility and they worked so hard to make the trip great for her while not taking away any experience for the others on the trip.
