Can u ask how flexible the arrangements are around this? I am a nervous and will only fly on certain airlines. I'm happy to arrange book and pay for my own internal flight at my own expense but just wanted to know how flexible the airport arrangements are around this etc and whether this is possible?

The internal flight from Johannesburg to Port Elizabeth is booked by our local ground agent in South Africa- it is not possible to say exactly which airline they will book but it is usually FlySafair which is an international low-cost airline based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Unfortunately this is part of the group trip and we would not be able to take a booking where you made your own arrangements for this flight - all passengers would fly on the same flight booked by our local ground agent.

The tour was varied and offered something for everything. We especially enjoyed the added hikes to see things "on the ground". Having a tour of Kruger National Park was a highlight as well even though we ran into one day of terrible weather there. Be prepared for all kinds of weather even though you are in Africa. We were able to spend our US Thanksgiving while on tour and our guide helped arrange a celebration of all the participants. One of the other things we enjoyed was the extended tour offered to visit Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. That also was excellent and I wish all Explore trips had extended trips offered for all their trips. Cape Town was also a fun place to visit and we were lucky that our guide helped us all see the Cape Point and also the Penguins.Show more
