“Exceeded my expectations in every way. You have a very hard working crew who are a credit to your organisation. I loved Vic Falls but I'm a cataractophile. Canoeing on the lower Zambezi and going into the Okavango also rate.”

“Traveling in southern Africa was a varied and fantastic experience. The many varied locations and natural scenery from Cape Town and The Cape of Good Hope throughout South Africa's beautiful landscapes via Kalahari, The Namib Desert, Okavango Delta, Etosha, Chobe ending in Victoria Falls. Every day an adventure in a great setting, so many animals but also the unexpected adventures. In Victoria Falls after a beautiful helicopter ride we visited the railway station and found the old steam train located further away, (I was there 30 years ago, so I asked if the train was still around) being prepared for a run the next day and instead of being asked to leave the staff invited us to step on board the locomotive and the luxury carriages built 1938. Fantastic extra highlights that added to the itinerary. Absolutely delighted with the whole trip.”

“Highly recommended for a quiet and relaxing tour of Cape Town! Joseph, our guide, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable as well. I would recommend someone who can easily get sea sick to avoid the seal island. Overall, we had a great experience.”

Travel Tips for South Africa Adventure Tours

  • June to August is the best time to visit South Africa for safari tours, while December to February is ideal for visiting the coast.
  • For Cape Town's coastal adventures, pack beachwear, comfortable shoes and sun protection to fully enjoy activities like surfing and hiking along the rugged shores.
  • Boost your chances of spotting wildlife on your safari ride at ADDO Elephant National Park by bringing binoculars, a camera with a good zoom lens and neutral-colored clothing.  
  • Hiking in the Drakensberg Mountains can be challenging. So make sure to pack proper hiking boots, a waterproof backpack and warm clothing, as the weather can quickly change on these elevated terrains
