    Tim

    Asked on July 8th, 2024

    Are towels prvided in the appartements? I would like to book the tour just for me. But I really dont want to be alone in the evenings when there is "free time" in the cities. Is there any chance I could stay with the other people from the tour? Or if not, when could I check in into the appartements. I am a little flexible with the times. If the tour on 26 July does not take place because there are too few participants, would it be possible to rebook the tour for a day earlier or later if there are enough participants?

      As you are only one traveler it will cost you far less to fly between George and Cape Town
