South Africa 10-Day Tours and Trips

It was necessary for my daughter and I to miss the last two days of the tour and we received a great deal of help from Explore with making extra arrangements.. Explore provided us with a transfer to the airport in Eswatini and also a tour of Soweto in Johannesburg. The tour provided a variety of habitats, mountain foothills, a coastal environment and game reserves. There was a lot of travelling but the coach was comfortable.

This was such an incredible trip! Our tour manager Jesse was so knowledgeable and made sure that the entire trip ran smoothly. I can't even begin to express how amazing the safaris were in Kruger and Chobe National Parks. I couldn't recommend this trip more!!

What really made this trip special was how much variety it packed into 12 days. It never felt repetitive. One day we were out on a game drive in Kruger National Park, watching elephants cross the road right in front of our vehicle. Next, we were in a completely different setting, standing in front of Victoria Falls, feeling the spray on our faces. It was surreal to experience such different landscapes and wildlife in such a short span of time. The weather also helped. It was nearly perfect throughout the tour. Mornings were cool and crisp, great for early safaris, and by afternoon it would warm up just enough without being uncomfortable. Every place felt timed just right. Our guide knew when to slow down and when to move on so we never missed anuything. Cape Town, especially, stood out. Seeing the Table Mountain was unlike anything I’d seen before. We took the cable car up, which was an optional tour and the views of the city and coastline were incredible. There was also a nice balance of cultural activities. We also did Winelands tour which yet was another amaing experience. I had some concerns before booking, but everything, from airport pickups to hotel check-ins was butter smooth. I felt safe and taken care of. You should surely give this one a try if you're traveling to South Africa for thr first time.

Amazing experience from start to finish! The itinerary was a perfect mix of cities, safaris, and natural wonders—Cape Town, Kruger, Victoria Falls, and Chobe were all incredible. Our guide was super knowledgeable and made travel across multiple countries feel easy and smooth. The group vibe was fun and inclusive, and most of the add-ons (especially the safari’s) were totally worth it. A few were just okay, but overall the trip was well-organized, exciting, and unforgettable. Highly recommend if you want to explore Southern Africa without the stress of planning!

The trip was filled with alot of amazing experiences and add ons! Our trip manager made all of the difference: his energy and knowledge gave me such a different perspective. was an amazing trip manager! Anyone who is assigned on his tour will have the best time and will come away from the trip with so much understanding and knowledge of Southern Africa.

Such an incredible trip! I would recommend this to anyone and everyone. We didn’t get to go up table mountain due to unforeseen weather conditions while we were in Cape Town but tried his best to move things around so we could go if the weather changed but the weather never let up. Still ended up not even mattering by the end of the trip because everything else was just WOW. This trip captures everything, you will not leave disappointed. It’s the only trip I’ve done where I would do this again and again without changing a thing. was an incredible guide, truly made the trip special as did the group of people I shared it with. 10/10
