De hostels waren super, we hadden 1 persoonskamers, kan in Europa als hotelkamers doorgaan. Heerlijk gegeten ook in alle hostels. Fijne groep van 10 personen uit 4 continenten! Qua organisatie en communicatie vooraf ook dikke 10! De avond voor de tour startte onze gids een app groep. Daardoor was de communicatie bij het ophalen ook erg goed. Kortom: een aanrader!! Zou zo weer meegaan!!”

“We loved the 5 day garden route tour, there is a lot of driving but we k re this in advance but totally worth the places we visited. Vaughan our guide was fantastic, so friendly and helpful and always asked our preferences on places we would like to prioritise to see, he really made a positive difference on the tour. Only “complaint” we would have is on the tour description it says includes 4 dinners, though this was true, was only for the value of 200 SA rands per person per night, so anything over that has to be paid, we only had 1 main course every night and had…”

5 days of classic Kruger safari, open-vehicle drives, an armed bush walk, and a bush BBQ under the stars at Tremisana.
“The safari was designed to be very animal- and environmentally friendly, which was most important to me. The rangers are very knowledgeable and explain a lot during the trip. It was a varied and adventurous program. The food was very good and my vegetarian needs were catered for. In general, all requests were accommodated. The only negative thing I have to report is that the schedule was sometimes too tight and made us feel a little stressed. Occasionally, the rangers drove too close to the animals, which made me feel that the animals were stressed. Of course, they are impressed by the tourists, but you can also observe the animals…”
