South Africa Budget Tour Reviews

5 - Excellent
Based on 260 customer reviews
Wonderful road-trip into the heart of Africa
5 - Excellent
  • Michael Frank
“One of the many highlights is certainly the trip to the Okavango Delta with two nights in the middle of nowhere, an absolute lifetime experience. Overall, the tour is a very varied program to get to know the country, the lovely people and the nature.”
Biggest smiles I have seen so far ♡
5 - Excellent
  • Wiktoria
“This was an unforgettable adventure! There was a great balance between learning about the culture and still getting to have fun and relax. I can honestly say this was my favourite holiday so far. There was me thinking Machu Picchu was unbeatable :) Our guide was lovely from the moment we met him, he was really approachable and easy to chat with. We were able to have our input and he always ensured we were having fun. Sri Lanka in itself... well all I can say is go explore. It's a beautiful destination where people wear their hearts on their sleeves and have the biggest smiles I have seen so far ”
One of the best tours I’ve been on.
5 - Excellent
  • Holly
“This experience was one of the best tours Ive been on. The tour operator always do an incredible job at creating the best tours in the most stunning countries. The safari and surfing were my highlights. Our group leader Lyndsey was always here to have a laugh and wanted to ensure everyone was happy. Will be recommending this tour to all of my friends!”
