  • 5-Day Group Garden Route & Addo Adventure Tour (one-way) reviewer 1
    · July 19th, 2025
    The tour was excellent, our guide, Christine was amazing, well organized and interesting. We felt like we got a first-hand education of life in South Africa. Everything went as planned, and there was quite a bit of flexibility on the extra activities, even to the last minute. We chose the upgraded lodgings which were beautiful but after seeing the backpackers accommodations we might have chosen those instead for the comeraderie. We took the trip in the winter and it was colder than we anticipated.

    The highlight: Visit of the Addo Nationalpark. We saw about 150 elephants near a waterhole. That's true and an unique experience. Even our driver and guide hadn't seen such a great herd of elephants ever. What else is there to report? Very good accommodations, wines and dinners, best co-travellers aged from 32 to 64 years and a good guide and driver. He drove fast - and there were many miles to drive, which of course took a long time. That was not so good about this tour.

    Absolutely fantastic tour with Christine. She went above and beyond to get us to each area in adverse weather conditions. I found her to be extremely personable and knowledge. Accommodation and food exceeded expectations by a mile. Highly recommend this tour we had a great time.

    From start to finish, my fantastic experience in South Africa was due to the team at Earthstompers Adventures. Prior to the holiday office staff had extreme patience organising the private Cape Town tour to my requirements and the tour guide, Rochelle, immediately realised that I wanted to pack as much as possible into my few days in Cape Town and more than accommodated that with knowledge and good humour. The Garden Route Tour was well designed and the tour guide, Christine, made it fun taking into account the needs of each individual in the group. Her amazing photographic skills maximised every potential opportunity to take photos at scenic and iconic spots. She was a constant source of information throughout the tour and was probably the best tour guide that I have come across in of all of my travels encouraging me to face my fears and do the highest bridge bungy jump. Our group of five solo travellers from all walks of life enhanced the experience and we left the tour one big family! In Cape Town I stayed at the boutique hotel Derwent House which had such an eclectic environment that there was always something different to look at and all of their staff were so friendly that it was a true home from home. The accommodation on the Garden Route tour was incredible, each unique with affable hosts at each. If I meet anyone who wishes to explore the Cape I will certainly be recommending Earthstompers.

    I recently gathered a new travel experience. I was traveling to South Africa with Earthstompers. It was such an exciting and really informative trip. I would like to thank our guide Сhristin and our group for the support. This created a friendly atmosphere during our trip. I was impressed by beautiful landscapes, amazing places, interesting sights, delicious food and good wine. I will never forget these fantastic views and unique tastes. I can wholeheartedly recommend you this company. It is the memory I will cherish forever!

    You never know who you're going to get on your tour! We had a few hiccups with one terrible guest but overall dynamics with the rest of the gang was phenomenal and our guide, Gareth's humor and professionalism definitely helped smooth things over. The lodges/hostels we stayed at were great offering us every night a different local meal. I definitely recommend this tour!

    Asked on January 20th, 2025

    How physically challenging is this tour? I am 66 years old and when I entered my age I was told I am not eligible. Do you have any tour options for seniors if I am not able to join this tour?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Earthstompers AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2025

      Our group tour is an active tour. The group is a mix of clients and ages can range from 18 to 65. We can accept guests as old as 65, as long as they are fit and healthy enough to enjoy the tour. Our average age on tour is 33. In our experience what tends to tire our older guests out is driving long distances every day, getting in and out of the bus frequently, and carrying one's own luggage. The tour is conducted at a very fast pace, and our reason for setting an upper age limit is so that the group can happily keep up with the pace of the itinerary, however we do handle each enquiry case by case and you are only 1 year older than our upper age limit. Before we proceed, are you comfortable with the following? Can you comfortably walk +- 1.5 hours (5 km) Are you able to frequently get in and out of the vehicle? Are you able to sit in the vehicle approximately 2 hours at a time, as the tour covers quite a distance and stays in a different place each night Are you able to load and unload your luggage from the trailer each day? There are no porters at the accommodation. Do you have any medical or mobility issues? We also have canoeing and hiking as an included activity on tour; would you be able to canoe for 40 minutes one-way and 40 minutes back?

    Tour Details

    • Earthstompers AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2025

      This is a one way tour due to time constraints. Going back to Cape Town would add an extra two days at least. It is around a 9 hour drive.
