What people love about South Africa Tours from Cape Town
- Journeys: Explore Cape Town & Kruger National Park National Geographic Journeys
The entire experience was amazing! I felt comfortable with both of the CEOs and was thankful the drivers were local. It was one of those trips, after having booked it and the plane ticket, didn't have to worry about anything else such as food, transportation, lodging. It was nice to have everything taken care of. We started at Cape Town, then headed to Soweto, then to Kruger National Park, and some private game reserves. Cape Town has world class dining and so many things to do and explore. The visit to Soweto was made all the more spectacular after we learned our guide had been a part of the events/history. It was amazing to hear from her. Kruger was a fun experience, but nothing like the private game reserves. You'll see if you go on this trip. I highly recommend it. It was a very pleasant trip and I can't wait to go back to South Africa.
- 10 Days Cape Town, Garden Route & Addo Package
The tour was great and well explained throughout. Khotso was awesome and very knowledgeable of the area. Eunice was also amazing answering all my questions even with all my changes!
- South African Escape
The South Africa 14 day escape was brilliant. The transportation was of excellent standard, all the accommodation was very good, good locations, good meals provided and the itinerary was great. We covered so much in the 14 days and got to have a real taste of South Africa in the time we had. The optional extras were well priced and good fun. Would highly recommend to anyone.
