Reviews of our South Africa Tours for April
Feedback from guests who toured South Africa during April.
Brianna P. | Traveled in April
I have traveled a lot for work, but I needed a trip away for fun. In my travels, I heard about CharlieTheTraveler and their tours around the world. They delivered in this South African tour. I was impressed by how much the company knew about the area and the best places to go in the area, including all of the restaurant recommendations. I was also impressed by the planning of the boat cruise and wine tasting, as I know for a traveling group, it is not easy to book these excursions. I will definitely keep this company in mind for my next non-business trip!
Joni A. | Traveled in April
I made so many memorial memories but the elephant experience will always have a special place in my heart. I loved having all the interaction with the elephants especially feeding them.
Shannon D. | Traveled in April
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.
Chanel. H | Traveled in April
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 ❤️🇱🇰
Theresia N | Traveled in April
Great package, full immersion into Southern Africa with Safaris, and the absolute highlight the Victoria falls (make sure you book a helicopter flight on top privately). Also recommend to combine with Cape Town (went on my own afterwards and was perfect finish)
Robert | Traveled in April
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.
