  • Sarah S
“This was my second trip with Dragoman and exceeded even my highest expectations. Tour leader was a fantastic leader and a true expert for exploring Africa - his knowledge of the ecosystem and animals often exceeded the guides and his enthusiasm was very motivating. There was many highlights but in general the level of accommodation was much higher than i had anticipated. Gweta lodge was one of my favorite campsites. The house boat on the Okavango was a great touch, plus the walking with rhinos was an unforgettable experience.

“An amazing way to see the country and make the most of your time there. The best thing about the trip was the itinerary being organised for you and not having to do any of the thinking! There were many highlights of the trip - Etosha National Park, Hwange, the Namibian desert and Deadvlei and wild camping at the base of Spitzkoppe.”

“This was my third overlanding expedition in Southern Africa and it did not disappoint. The scenery, wildlife and cultures in Zimbabwe and Botswana were spectacular. Particular highlights were having the fabulous ruins at Great Zimbabwe all to ourselves to explore with our brilliant local guide at leisure; tracking rhino on foot in Matobo NP with an anti-poaching patrol and venturing into the watery Okavango wonderland to free camp in the wild. Unforgettable experiences - thank to the tour company!”

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
