South Africa Tour Reviews

Honest insights from past guests on our South Africa tours

Karla W. | Traveled in December

My favorite experiences were the eight safaris and seeing ALL the BIG FIVE and the UGLY FIVE and LOTS more animals than I anticipated. The accommodations were AWESOME and my favorite was The Wallow Lodge in the Glamping Tent right on the Zambezi River. The weather was absolutely perfect in November. Dubai was AMAZING and I'm SO glad that we added that as a per-extension to this trip.

My Essence of South Africa journey with Trafalgar was unforgettable from start to finish. The itinerary struck the perfect balance between adventure, culture, and relaxation, giving me a deeper appreciation for the country’s landscapes and the people who call it home. The safari experiences were truly the highlight—expert guides and trackers made every game drive feel like a once-in-a-lifetime moment. From watching wildlife at sunrise to witnessing scenes I’ve only ever seen in documentaries, each day brought something new and exciting. All hotels and lodges were perfect! Food selection at hotels were exceptional!

Everything about the tour was outstanding, from accommodations to the game drives. Overall, our tour manager - Tyce DeWet - made the trip. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and always made everything we did run smoothly and efficiently. I’ve taken other guided tours and he was, hands down, the Very Best tour guide/manager I have ever encountered. Any potential issue during the tour was managed and resolved expertly and seamlessly.
