    Overall, we were very happy with the trip and are glad that we booked it. The guided tour gave us the opportunity to see a lot in just a few days and we always felt safe. We experienced lots of great things and got to know nice people. We had booked Double Room Backpacker and were very happy with it, always very nice rooms. Even when one of us was unwell, Mark (tour guide) supported us well. However, it has to be said that the many activities also put time pressure on us. The evening before, the tour guide drew up a schedule for the next day. We were often no longer on schedule after the first activity and then had to rush a bit or had less time at the other stops. On the other hand, this is understandable as we had to arrive at the accommodation on time in the evening. We also underestimated how much you actually sit in the car. On some days, it felt like we were just sitting in the car. However, this is also understandable as you have to cover a lot of distance on the Garden Route. We would also have liked better communication from the tour guide. Basically, there were always clear instructions, but we would have liked more information. Many people asked questions and Mark had difficulty answering everything at the same time, which led to confusion on several occasions and ultimately we weren't sure what the plan was. In general, we thought that the tour was a bit more active, as this was also stated in the description. However, our tour group also included pensioners who had little interest in hiking, for example, which we thought was a shame. On one day, for example, we went on a hike in pairs, as we had informed ourselves independently.

    The highlight: Visit of the Addo Nationalpark. We saw about 150 elephants near a waterhole. That's true and an unique experience. Even our driver and guide hadn't seen such a great herd of elephants ever. What else is there to report? Very good accommodations, wines and dinners, best co-travellers aged from 32 to 64 years and a good guide and driver. He drove fast - and there were many miles to drive, which of course took a long time. That was not so good about this tour.
