Sam was an absolute driving force making the most out of every day. She was extremely knowledgeable and made the holiday a truly fabulous experience. We enjoyed every day of the holiday and would happily book another Explore holiday in the future.
Excellent trip for the family. Some long traveling days, but the travel enabled us to explore & experience the amazing scenery & wildlife South Africa has to offer. Great trip and an excellent guide. (Wern).
Great family trip with opportunities to view many animals, birds and other wildlife as well as cultural experiences.
The beach aspects of the tour were underwhelming. Highlights were Tshukudu game reserve (5 star experience) and st Lucia town. Snorkeling at Kosi bay totally underwhelming. Guide was energetic ++, and had the difficult job of balancing younger children with our teenage family. We felt some activities were cut short at times. It often seemed a rush to get to the destination rather than to enjoy the journey. I wonder that the recommended age for this trip should be 10+ - the days are long, and some early starts
South Africa’s wild landscapes and rich culture come alive on this 13-day journey from Johannesburg to Durban, crafted with experienced travelers in mind. This easy-paced trip combines multiple game drives in renowned reserves like Kruger and Tshukudu, offering the chance to spot the Big 5—lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo, and elephant—both by vehicle and on foot. Rustic camps and lodges provide authentic overnights, immersing you in the sounds of the African bush.
Beyond wildlife, you’ll connect with tradition on a visit to a Zulu village, and step into the kingdom of Eswatini for a walking safari in Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary. The adventure concludes at Kosi Bay, where two days on the pristine Indian Ocean coast allow for relaxation or seasonal turtle and whale watching.
What sets this tour apart is its well-balanced blend of safari thrills, cultural encounters, and downtime on unspoiled beaches—making it the ideal package for those seeking a comprehensive South African experience with comfort and expertise included.
