Reviews of our South Africa Tours for May
Feedback from guests who toured South Africa during May.
I had an awesome experience. The tour was well organized and I had an amazing and well read tour guide who could answer all of my questions. It was a perfect mix of cultural and Safari. I can definitely recommend the tour!!!
showed us so much and was very passionate about South Africa. I loved the safaris and Kruger was my favorite our guide was very professional and knowledgeable. also had a great eye for spotting animals. Loved Victoria Falls it was fun to explore and really enjoyed the white water rafting.
Somehow, I missed the opportunity to complain about the flight to Victoria Falls. Your website map indicates that we fly from Windhoek directly to Victoria Falls. This was not the case. We got up at 3 o’clock in order to catch a flight to Johannesburg and then turn around and fly to Victoria Falls. There are airlines that fly direct and I don’t understand why we did not fly direct, especially since it is extremely misleading to have the itinerary map show that it is a direct flight.
The entire trip was fantastic and was curated to expose us to as much local flavor as possible. I particularly enjoyed the home hosted dinners where we were able to meet and dine with a local family in their own home.
I really enjoyed the trip and the way camping was mixed into the other accommodations. However, it would have been nice to have some more options for Cape Town add-ons, even if we couldn’t do all of them. I.e see Nelson Mandela’s prison. I also think the township tour should be an inclusion. The walking safari in Zambia was a bit too expensive though, considering we only did like 30-40min of walking. was fantastic in the way he welcomed us to his home country and spoke about life in Africa.
It was a wonderful trip and I have many fond memories of it. Everything went very smoothly and I know I'll definitely be going back to Africa! Our CEO was top notch and so was the bus driver. We had a great time with lots of humor and great experiences. I also really appreciated the fact that G Adventures showed us “Planeterra” projects. I really enjoyed visiting “Pentuka” and especially “!Khwattu”, and I loved being able to buy things in these places to support these two organizations. Thank you so much!
