South Africa Reviews

Review 1

What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?

A fantastic trip! Well thought out, organised and I was very lucky that I had a great, friendly group. The stay in the Okavango Delta was my highlight and although terrifying, we got very close to the hippo's in the water!!

What did you think of your tour leader?

My Tour Leader (Manda) was fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly, charismatic and thoughtful of everyone's enjoyment and safety. He made my trip!

What advice would you give to other travellers?

I was travelling alone and although I had spent 3 weeks in South Africa Africa immediately before this trip, an organised tour was definitely the most enjoyable and safest way to travel alone. It gave me chance to switch off a bit and leave the responsibilities to someone else! Everyone very welcoming - not ever a problem being on my own.

is it safe to travel south africa?

i'm a hk girl and planning to travel w/2 good fds (2 man)in Cape Town, Johannesburg etc in this Oct 08. what i searched fr the internet is these cities "have recently been hit by a wave of xe phobic violence as mobs of locals roam the city centre and surrounding townships in search of foreign refugees and migrants. Dozens of people have been killed, and the government has deployed the army to contain the disturbances. Travellers should steer well clear of any street clashes." i'm doubt and worry whether we should go ahead or stop. any comment?
