Very Good!

  • Gavin
“Highlights - Watching the stunning scenery roll by, tea & scones in charming Matjiesfontein, Prince Albert, Victoria Beach, Monkeyland, Plettenberg Bay, Storms River Mouth walk, and accommodation. Phillip was an attentive and knowledgeable guide. Relaxed and very professional. Good sense of humour.”
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.”
100% recommend this trip!
5 - Excellent
  • Robin Pruis
“Perfect balance between adventure, culture, and free time! My favourite experience of the trip was visiting the monks. Rosin was the best group leader I've ever had on a tour! She was so energetic and made all 12 days incredibly exciting. She really made an effort to get to know each of us individually. This trip was perfect for me because I would not have been able to book and plan something like this myself! I 100% recommend this trip!!”
