Customer Reviews
Discover South Africa's Garden Route
Very enjoyable trip and we learned a great deal. Having a knowledgable local guide is great. Very clear information, very good guides, good hotels and sensible use of time.
Discover South Africa's Garden Route
Our tour guide, Malik, and driver, Mr Henzel, were brilliant. We enjoyed the itinerary although we added a second game drive before we left because we thought a bit more of the game reserves was desirable. Malik made those arrangements for us. He was continually looking for ways to make everyone happy.
The Ultimate Scenic Road Trip!
As an Exodus Employee, this entire trip was a fantastic experience. From seeing one of the best cities in the world, to seeing the changing vegetation, wilderness and wildlife, its understandable to why this is such a sought after area to see in South Africa.
