Trip date: September 2019 - LLaura· October 11th, 2019The last leg of our three stages travelling Cape Town to Cape Town. Gee was an absolutely fantastic guide - very knowledgeable about the places, people, history, animals....every topic you could think of! Always happy to answer any further questions or just have a chat. Excellent sense of humour and very witty (especially in a musical sense). The tour would not have been as enjoyable without Gee as our guide.Show moreAcacia Adventure Holidays commented on this reviewHi Laura, Wow... what a great review, thank you!

- SSteph· September 13th, 2019Gee was the best rep I’ve had, he has set the bar very high now, I went on two other tours with separate companies and nothing compares. Gee takes great pride in his trips from the amazing food he cooked us (especially the veggies, dairy allergy and gluten allergy that was in our group ) to asking everyone what they wanted from their trip ie excursions and giving us all the info we needed he even arranged it for us. Due to my allergies I was worried I would struggle in a camp environment and in fact I put weight on and ate like a Queen -which I didn’t expect in Africa. Not only was gee’s veggie spag Bol the best I’ve ever had he is really knowledgeable and would explain key facts and stories about everywhere we went. I had the best time on this trip and South Africa is now my 1. Thanks stephShow moreAcacia Adventure Holidays commented on this reviewWOW! Thanks for the awesome review.

Ken
Asked on February 26th, 2025Is there camping involved or is it shared rooms? Where does it start in Pretoria, is it from a specific hotel and are you transferred direct to Cape town airport on the last day?
Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperator•Written February 2025The accommodated tour does not have any camping; accommodation is in twin share rooms. If you are a solo traveller then we would put you in a share room with another solo traveller of the same sex. If we do not happen to have another solo of same sex then you would have a room to yourself (but we do not promise or guarantee that in advance).

Ken
Traveler•Written March 2025What is the adventure pass? Does it cover optional tours offered in free time during the tour?

It covers: 2 days, Kruger National Park, Game Drives, St Lucia Boat Cruise, Sani Pass Excursion and Cango Caves Visit. Optional activities are not covered by the Adventure Pass.

Traveler•Written February 2025How strict are Contiki about age range? Although I am older than 35, I enjoy these activities/tours more. Is it just a guide line?

Asked on January 21st, 2025My wife and I have traveled with Tour Radar before and actually have a credit in our account. We are interested in the 20-day South African tour, but we are slightly above the age limit of 75. We are 77 and 78. Is the rule inflexible?
- Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperator•Written January 2025
We have to keep to the upper age limit of 75 years because of commitments we have made to travel agents worldwide who support us on this tour. We have our Signature Safasris range and also our Small Group tours which you should be able to see on the Tour Radar site, and which are open aged.

Asked on May 19th, 2024What is the Adventure Pass for $180 per person, local payment? Optional or mandatory?
- Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperator•Written May 2024
Every adventure tour has an Adventure Pass which is paid to your tour leader in Africa at the beginning of the tour (or pre-paid by arrangement prior to your tour). This is separate and in addition to the Tour Price, and covers selected park entries, activities and excursions along the way where payment goes directly to the supplier to ensure local suppliers benefit directly from the income. For this tour, the Adventure Pass is USD 180.00, although optional it is highly suggested. It covers: Kruger National Park entry fees, Cango Caves, Sani Pass Excursion and the St Lucia Boat Cruise.

Marlene
Asked on May 7th, 2024When will September 2026 dates be available? What meals are provided on the tour? What type of accommodations will we stay in? What is the price for adding two nights of pre-accommodation? Can we do optional activities in Pretoria and Johannesburg? What is the price for adding two nights of post-accommodation? How much is the deposit to secure the adventure?
- Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperator•Written May 2024
We usually release dates and prices for the new year in Oct/Nov, but we are not expecting major changes from this year's programme. Most meals are provided, sometimes the tour leader will ask for help but it is not a huge chore and most people enjoy taking part and helping the tour run. Properties used on tour are mostly small, tourist class properties - most rooms twin bedded with en suite bathroom - but they are not star-rated properties.

Asked on April 29th, 2023Would it be possible to join the group a few days later, or leave the group days earlier? The problem for us is that we don't have 20 days available but only about ten.
- Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperator•Written May 2023
The 20 day tour actually comprises two separate trips which run consecutively. the first is 7 days Pretoria to Durban, and second is 12 days Durban to Cape Town. All tours for 2024 are currently available.
