South Africa Solo Trip Reviews

5 - Excellent
Based on 264 customer reviews
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!!”
One of the best tours I’ve been on.

  • 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!”

  • Subhash Krishan Malhotra
“First solo trip for me, but the tour group staff (and guests for that matter) were excellent - the travelling times whilst long, were well worth it - our tour guide Tshepo and driver Cosmas made the trip effortless with good organisation, clear communication and always timely starts/finishes - the information provided at each location, picture opportunities given, fun activities, good food and basically everything else, made this my favourite trip to date - will defo be doing another Africa tour with the tour operator”
