I had an amazing time. Highlights were Kruger national park and the Delta and the nighlty camp fires under the stars. It was a well planned trip mainly due to our tour leader Thabang, Lizzie our cook and Vincent our driver. There were long drives as per the itinerary but it was the only way to see the beautiful southern africa in a timely manner. Thank you for a great trip!

This was the trip of a lifetime. We were able to see, do, and taste so much. Matt (our tour leader) and Benny (our driver) were the dream team and kept us engaged and entertained the entire time. I highly recommend booking this tour.

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.

Stunning and varied landscape on this tour The holiday offers a range of experiences and options to try more. There’s some modest walking, animal encounters ( penguins, whales, birds, monkeys etc) and culture. Food is of a good standard and great value - fresh fish is widely available. Add a couple of days to your tour in Cape Town as there’s so much to do and not much chance on the tour. Similarly if you like safaris, there is just the one drive at the end of the holiday in Addo - add a day or two there and visit the private reserves and Addo park. The tour is at a relatively gentle pace and activities are generally relaxing rather than energetic
