  • South Africa: From the Cape to Kruger reviewer 1
    · October 6th, 2024
    The trip was excellent overall. Our tour director Margaret George was brilliant, knowledgeable and exceptional director in total control. The drivers were Maxwell and Joe. Their demeanor skills and friendliness was beyond reproach. Accommodation was very good. 1 or 2 of the hotels are in need of updating. Meals provided were good. The tours achieved their aims. Big 5 were seen. Would recommend it. One note of caution on home bound flights please arrange to be in Johannesburg early. You may be pushed to get through to your flight in 3 hours

    Tour was well organised, particularly the SA side of things with Taki taking the lead and looking after all travellers. We were lucky to have him with us to give excellent commentary and advice. The places we visited were all interesting and varied. The pace was good, allowing enough free time.

    Small group of 18 is what attracted me. We had a large bus so plenty of space to spread out. No one got sick. Itinerary was excellent. Loved the variety from scenery to animals.

    Outstanding experience! Taki was an absolutely superior tour guide. My first time to Africa, and I leave with a much greater understanding of this land and it's people. Can I say that I am sad to leave? Perhaps I have fallen in love with this country. Well done, Cosmos!

      TravelerWritten September 2023

      1. I do not see Port Elisabeth on the map (Gqeberha instead - is this nearby or another name?) 2. there is a flight from Kruger national park to Johannesburg, but map shows Mpumalanga (South Africa) Pretoria (South Africa) and then Johannesburg (South Africa) So what is the tour exactly? I am confused.

    • CosmosOperatorWritten September 2023

      Gqeberha is the new name for Port Elisabeth. We have tried to make sure all documents reflect the new name, however, some documents may have been missed. They are one in the same.

    • CosmosOperatorWritten September 2023

      The new itinerary has you flying from Kruger National Park to Johannesburg. You will no longer be going to Pretoria.
