“This was my 3rd adventure with this tour company and my 2nd to South Africa. The variety of each and every tour is a major factor in my decision making and this tour did not disappoint. Each day was something different and we were so lucky to have such wonderful guides as Jojo and Bryan. Their knowledge and those of the local guides were tremendous. Each yummy meal was prepared and delivered by our guides - something we looked forward to each day. We managed to see a wide variety of animals and birds and they were described to us in a very professional way. I loved visiting the historical sites and learning about the lives of the local people. Your Responsible Travel policies and practices are to be applauded. Well done WE. Even the local guides who we had for 1/2 or full day trips were of a high standard. Everything ran so smoothly. I can't wait to visit again!”

“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.”
Very Good!

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
