    Aaron was very good guide. Stopping when needed for bathrooms. The distance between some locations is very far. The seat belts in the Safari Tour Truck were not to be used because they do not work. I buckeled up and then found the seat belt would NOT unbuckle. Ask the driver to cut the belt but he said no his safari truck would not pass inspection if he cut the belt. I should not have used it...... Do you have any idea what his means.... it is NOT Safety First, it is just get the people thourgh the system.

      TravelerWritten July 2025

      Is whale watching possible in Jun? Is there any discount or cheaper prices with similar itinerary?

    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten July 2025

      Whale watching is possible from June to November when Southern Right and Humpback whales migrate. We have an overland tour (South Africa, Eswatini & Lesotho 20 day tour) which is cheaper if budget is a concern.
