Truly unforgettable experience with a fantastic guide (Matt) who is informative, humourous, easy going and friendly. The safari drives were magical and we managed to see 4 of the big 5 as well as many of species of animals. The day of sightseeing at Blyde River and Bourke's Luck is also pretty spectacular. The accommodation and meals were of a decent standard and the coach was comfortable enough. Highly recommended.
This was by far my favourite tour. My tour guide was very knowledgeable about the country and all the areas we went too. The safari's and other excursions were great. I only wish that when cage diving a shark had actually come, but that is just luck.
Stunning wildlife, walks and leaders! Quite the most incredble insight into what SA has to offer. With the help of our two brilliant leaders Clifford & Andy we were spoilt by the number of bird and big 5 sightings (these guys have eyes in the back of their heads and Xray vision!). For wildlife spotting this trip does not disappoint - elephant, giraffe, rhino, hyena, lions, warthog, so many antelope and not forgetting a "Leopard Tortoise"all in our first week. Glorious walks abound, the Drakensberg are truely breathaking and we were expertly lead and looked after according to our skill levels. In amongst this were enlightening lessons in tribal history and culture that helped us understand the real SA. Accomodation is varied but everytime suited the location perfectly. The days were long but our leaders were tireless in their enthusiasm, kindness and skills in cooking! If you want a memorable and very varied trip in Africa this is a winner.
