Katrina Jerren· July 30th, 2024What an amazing experience! I could not have asked for a better driver (Calvin) and CEO (Johannes)! Johannes was well organized, punctual, and on point with communication. The sites, the safaris (worth every early morning start), would not have been the same without Johannes' passion, knowledge, and diplomacy. The cheetah conservation talk was a definite highlight along with the walk in Soweto. The accommodations were great and felt like many efforts were made to make sure I had access to gluten-free food. My one suggestion (and maybe I missed this as I came late to the Welcome meeting) would be to have more optional group dinners in Capetown.Show moreTrip date: July 2024- Lisa· May 22nd, 2024The tour had its ups and downs. It started slow and a bit confusing with transfers and plans on when and where to first meet. The first hotel was fine and the day of touring was ok. The CEO was pedantic, lectured and repeated a lot but he grew on me over the 10 days. He genuinely wanted to serve the group. The optional wine tour was good. The Soweto tour was the first exceptional thing, several days into the tour. But the Holiday Inn and food there was not good. The two nights in Johannesburg were supposed to be a barbecue then African food the second night. Both nights were actually terrible buffet food you’d get at a Holiday Inn in Kansas City. Things finally improved at the Eco Lodge near Krueger. And the nicest place we stayed with the only decent food on the trip was at the Kwawongwe Reserve. Those two days were great. So I don’t think I’ll be taking another G Adventures tour unless you offer something more upscale.Show moreTrip date: May 2024

Carole
Asked on November 8th, 2025Would I still be able to get on the December trip? Do I need any advance visas? Is there any way to add a trip to Victoria Falls and swimming in the Devil's Pool at the end?
National Geographic Journeys with G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2025The Dec 1st-10th departure is a requested tour space. That means we require full payment to formally begin the request process, we then notify our local office of your requested tour space, and then in 3-5 days time, we notify you if they were indeed able to confirm your requested tour space. If they cannot confirm this departure date and your space, we can move the payment to a different departure date or process a full refund. Depending on your passport nationality, if it is American, you will not need a visa for South Africa. Visas are of the traveller's responsibility so it would be best to double-check this requirement with your local embassy. We do have a 12-day version of this tour, Journeys: Explore Southern Africa, which extends your travels into Zimbabwe with us and visits Victoria Falls. This would still be a requested tour process but otherwise you would be closer to Devil's Pool to visit it!

Asked on September 30th, 2025is there any discount for this tour?

Asked on June 23rd, 2025We are interested in visiting Victoria Falls. Could this be added to the itinerary, either at the end, or a direct flight from Cape Town with a flight to Kruger afterward? We do like the Panoramic Route scenic drive between Johannesburg and Kruger, but would only want to drive between Johannesburg and Kruger once. Would it be possible to fly instead of drive for one these commutes? We were thinking about an itinerary that starts in Cape Town, fly to Victoria Falls, fly to Kruger, Panoramic Route drive to Johannesburg. Would this make sense to you, and is it something that is possible?
- National Geographic Journeys with G AdventuresOperator•Written June 2025
This is a group trip with a maximum of 16 people, so unfortunately, no changes to the itinerary can be made. However, you're welcome to add extra days before or after the trip — for example, arriving a few days early in Cape Town or staying a few days longer in Johannesburg. If you're happy to proceed with the regular group trip, you can book. Or, if you're interested in a custom private trip, I'd be happy to send you some options — please just note that private trips do tend to be more expensive than the group departures listed on our site.

Traveler•Written June 2025Would it be possible to book a custom trip with an itinerary that includes Cape Town, Victoria Falls, Kruger, and Johannesburg? Also, if we decide to book the standard tour and add Victoria Falls to the end, would we be able to book it with you?
