To visit the mother land in a small group of travelers via motor bus was truly an extremely awesome experience. Our tour guide/driver was very knowledgeable and ensured we got a full understanding of his country. From province to province throughout South Africa we were completely in awe of the unique culture and its natural beauty and the wonder of it all. It was really worth it to see South Africa like this indepth. Will most certainly recommend it.
We had a great time, everything went very well. We were especially impressed by the excellent tour leader who was most knowledgeable, efficient, and courteous and did everything possible and more to ensure that all went smoothly. The hotels were all top-notch. Will definitely book again.
