What people love about Cape Town to Johannesburg Tours
- Journeys: Explore Cape Town & Kruger National Park National Geographic Journeys
It was one of the best ever trips I did before, thanks also because of you
- 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.
- Southern Africa Overland: Cape Town, Falls & Kruger
Special thanks to the tour guides, George and Chris as well as the drivers Judah and Helmes for a nice tour. I love the itinerary, food and optional activities offered. I saw so many amazing places and got some memorable photos. Downside was, too many nights staying the tents that you have to set up and take down and the included activities were not so active for the age group. Thus, I felt that the overall value was expensive. That being said the campsite and hostel/ lodges chosen were great. I had a fantastic adventure.
