- JJaneOwen· February 16th, 2020There are a lot of one night stays which give you a change of scenery but make things rather hectic. I would have liked a little longer in Cape Town but we managed to pack in many varied experiences and the scenery was superb. Our tour leader and the driver were excellent.Show more
Explore! commented on this reviewI'm so pleased that you found the tour leader and driver to be excellent - they so make such a difference to the trip.Trip date: January 2020

Asked on April 30th, 2025How do I find out about combining air travel with trip?
Explore!Operator•Written April 2025We don't book any of the international flights so you would need to make your own flight arrangements. The trip you selected is for adults travelling with kids ages 7-18. So if you are both over 18 then you are not able to take our "family" trips.

Traveler•Written April 2025My bucket list is an African Safari. Wanting to see elephants. This trip is for my 75th birthday and bringing my daughter who is 50. I would like a 7 to 10 trip, all inclusive if possible.
- Explore!Operator•Written May 2025
The tour you have inquired on is actually a family tour - this means you must be travelling with someone under the age of 18 to join. We do not offer any airfare.

Traveler•Written May 2025Would love to see the penguins. Being in Cape Town that long, I am sure there are extra fees to do all that is listed in the itinerary. I really am interested in seeing the wild life and being in the bush. The rafting sounds nice also, but, it's hard for me to walk great distances.
- Explore!Operator•Written May 2025
We do not have anything shorter in that region than 10 days. For something that includes Cape Town, we would need to look at one of our longer tours. Tick the Garden Route off your bucket list on South Africa's most famous road trip. Get a view of Table Mountain from vibrant Cape Town, taste world-renowned wines in the Stellenbosch region and spot herds of elephants (as well as penguin colonies).

Asked on December 16th, 2024Can I book a Family Tour if I’m not traveling with a child?
- Explore!Operator•Written December 2024
Family Tours are specifically designed for families traveling with children. Unfortunately, these tours are not available for booking if you are not traveling with a child. This ensures the experience remains focused on creating a family-friendly atmosphere and catering to the needs of young travelers and their families.

Asked on October 5th, 2024give me the exact price for all the tours all the bookings. tell me what is fully paid. I don't want to pay anything from the pick up until the tours finsh
- Explore!Operator•Written October 2024
We do not sell All Inclusive trips - so there will be additional charges for meals not included in the trip (we include 11 breakfasts, 1 lunch and 3 dinners) and also for any of the optional tours listed in the Trip Notes.
