  • John P
“Had never done any travel Like this before and I have to say it was one of the best things Ive ever done. What made the trip were the people on it, the places we went to, the animals we were able to see, the experience learning about the history and culture of the counties, but most of all the fantastic crew we had.”

  • Emma P
“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.”

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
