South Africa Adventure Tour Reviews

Honest insights from past guests on our Adventure South Africa tours

Zoe H. | Traveled in October

The perfect blend of city life, adventure, and unforgettable safari experiences. Our Trip Manager, Sim, was outstanding—highly professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and an absolute blast to travel with. His expertise on each country we visited was unmatched, and no matter the question, he always had the answer. His ability to speak multiple languages made communication seamless with both locals and guides, adding so much depth to the experience. The safari guides were truly remarkable. Their talent for spotting wildlife—camouflaged in dense trees or hidden in the distance—was nothing short of impressive. Even with their help, I often needed extra direction just to see what they had already noticed! I would do this trip again in a heartbeat—ten times over.

Would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see Africa. It was absolutely amazing! Our Trip Manager is the most special thing to ever happen to Contiki, he cared about everyone in our group and we all loved him right back. TM was professional, approachable and inclusive also his knowledge of the local languages and history was fantastic. The accommodation is really good especially in Victoria Falls the resort is gorgeous. Activities like the game drives, village homestead tour and camping in Chobe National Park are spectacular once in a lifetime experience. In short, book the the trip because you won’t regret anything except when it’s time to come home!

This was an action-packed intro to Africa, it had it all!! Beaches, safaris, cities, adrenaline-sports and amazing people!! Our trip manager was awesome and had heaps of local knowledge and passion for wildlife. I wish I’d had time to extend and see more but the 11days had so much that it still felt like 7 holidays in one trip :)

Cannot say enough good things about this trip. Excellently scheduled, meticulously coordinated, everything went seamlessly. I had never heard of Contiki before or done group travel and I was blown away. All the destinations are well done with excellent activities and incredible excursions. When family and friends ask me to pick a highlight, I honestly have to just say the whole trip. Trip manager was incredible. My only wish is that I could do this trip for the first time all over again!!
