Honest insights from past guests on our National parks South Africa tours
Nanette B. | Traveled in November
The tour was amazing. The most memorable experience was the tented camp, with Elephants drinking from the pool. Monkeys everywhere and being able to look out the doors and see wildlife all around.
Kim H. | Traveled in November
Coelette did a fantastic job making my dreams come true. The safaris were excellent and so much fun!!! I recommend the Cape Town extension and tour or the peninsula. Small group let us all get to know each other which enhanced the experience. I can't say enough about how amazing Thuka and Shuie, our guides, were. They made this trip unforgettable!
Neleh S. | Traveled in November
This trip was life changing. The opportunity to see so much of the continent through amazing excursions and with like-minded people was incredible. The trip really exceeded all of my expectations! Everyone we met both in Africa and those who traveled with the group were all so kind and joyful. I would do this trip over and over again.
Johanna | Traveled in October
I have done a lot of travel and this was honestly the best trip I've ever been on. Every day was full of adventure, beautiful sceneries and unreal experiences. I wasn't sure what to expect going into this trip and only booked it for something different to do, however Africa has turned into my favourite place! I am already planning to go back and do other Contikis there next year.

An absolute trip of a lifetime! What a fantastic holiday. It was an action packed holiday but I feel we got everything we wanted out of this trip and more. The safaris are excellent, we managed to see the big 5 and the drivers really go above and beyond to try and spot as many animals as they can for you. The additional activities were also amazing, we had an amazing time on the rafting and also on the swing / zip line in Zimbabwae. The people within our group were the best group of people you could ask for and really took our trip to the next level. We have to give a massive shout out to our guide *personal info removed by Feefo*. What an amazing man he is! He went above and beyond to ensure we all knew the time table for the days, answered any questions we had, was so knowledgeable about the places we visited and the local culture. We felt 100% safe in his care, and this also stands for all our drivers etc throughout the trip. He also went above his role for us as he helped my boyfriend to plan the perfect proposal to myself, so we really cannot thank him enough. Yes you have to pay for many of the additional activities but it is TOTALLY worth it - it will be trip we will never forget and will keep in our hearts forever. Do not hesitate to book this trip!
