Overall really good trip, great activities for the most part the safari at Kruger and Schotia the best. The kayaking was a bit disappointing as an activity, the duration was shorter than expected. The amount of driving was greater than expected, this will be reduced when the flight is changed to arrive in Durban rather than Johannesburg. Overall all accomodation and food was great.

Just incredible. Must do adventure! Accomodation was really nice. Many opportunities for Safari’s but they were all a bit different which made each one unique and worthwhile. Adding in the beaches too you get the best of everything. Highly recommend.

The trip was incredible - the cultural activities, the scenery, the people, the animals, the food, and everything else South Africa had to offer. We got remarkably lucky with some of the animal sightings which made the trip extra special. While there were some long travel days and it was fast-paced, the itinerary was a good mix of safaris and other experiences that kept it feeling fresh, and the accommodations were fantastic. Our trip manager was amazing. He was organized and good at communicating the day's activities, made sure everyone was having fun and kept the good vibes going, and gave us great recommendations during free time, as well as provided unique insight on the history of South Africa. Our drivers and game drive guides were also wonderful and full of knowledge. This was my first Contiki trip and it was an amazing experience, I'd recommend it to anyone.

This trip was everything we hoped for and more. The itinerary was fast paced and sometimes meant a lot of time on the bus, but it was worth it to be able to see and do so much. I'd recommend this trip to everyone.

We had great and unique lodging and food, great excursions, and knowledgeable guides and leaders! Overall we were well cared for and shown a good time. A few of the days we were stuck on the bus or van for almost all of the day, and while there were brief stops to break this up it still felt like we were seeing South Africa from afar instead of experiencing it on these days. If there is a way to tweak the schedule for less bus time that would improve this tour.
