South Africa Tours in April 2026

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.

Just finished the Intro Sri Lanka experience and wow it was definitely an unforgettable experience! Our tour leader Matt went above and beyond - he was super knowledgable, fun, organised and passionate. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide and group, we all bonded day 1 and laughed non stop for 12 days straight! We are even talking about having a reunion next year in South Africa. The tour itself is a perfect blend of cultural experiences, stunning beaches and hikes, animal conservation and delish food. This is my second tour with Intro and couldn’t recommend enough. Thanks again Matt for sharing your love of such a beautiful country ❤️🇱🇰

The best trip with Explore ever!! Our guide Samantha was fabulous, gracious, hard working, funny, informative and a great driver. We saw and did so many things that I cannot list them all but they were all fantastic. We saw the Big Five plus dozens of other species plus fabulous venues and food. I would recommend this trip for anyone who wants to get to know South Africa and have a great time.

My trip was absolutely amazing. we saw so much in 3 weeks it was incredible, there’s no way you could see as much as we did not being on a contiki tour. our guides and , were fabulous and i’d love to catch up with them again next time i’m in Africa! Would definitely recommend this tour and these guides!!

Overall this was an excellent tour. The Cape Town section was great with a wide variety of sites to visit. The lunch at Penguino in Hermanus was delicious and hilarious. The Cullinan Hotel was very good and we appreciated the visit to the District Six museum - an eye opener. However, the transition to Hoedspruit was poor - we were not given our flight times, the flight was delayed for 5 hours, there was no direct communication with Trafalgar. That was redeemed at the Karongwe game reserve - great game viewing (Big 5 + cheetahs in 2 days) with skilled rangers and simple, comfortable accommodation. The food was good except, surprisingly, the meat was tough. The staff there were very courteous and friendly. The brief visit to Johannesburg was very good: the guided tours to the Old Fort Prison and new Constitutional Court and to Regina Mundi church and other sites in Soweto were really great. As former South Africans, we thought this tour gave all of us an excellent, short overview of the Cape, the Bush and Johannesburg. And we appreciated the personalized attention to detail from Trafalgar s guides.

Fabulous adventure. Namibia was a surprise gem. Our guide, Collen (from Kiboko Adventure) was truly great; not only was he our guide, he was the driver, the mechanic (when the bus suffered a blown tire), an entertainer with his deadpan humor, and an overall great person. Also to mention that we have wonderful fellow travelers from across many countries (Australia, Canada, England, Italy & Malaysia). This adventure covered both amazing scenery and amazing safari game drives.
