What people love about South Africa Tours from Cape Town

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.
