What time does the tour finish on the final day? What time will we be dropped off at George airport?

The end time of this tour is flexible and will depend on your flight departure time. If you are staying over in the Garden Route on Day 5 the tour will end around 15h00. Note that the Adventure Tour requires a minimum of 2 adults in order to take place. If you are the only person booked for the tour we can only accommodate you if you start the tour in George.

I would like to take this tour on a Sunday departure in October or November. Do you have any dates where someone has already booked up for a departure.

At this time I do not have any Sunday departures for the Adventure Tour in September, October or November. This might change as it is still 6 months away. Perhaps you can contact me later in the year.

Would this work; Spend 2 or three days exploring Cape Town with City Sightseeing Tours Spend 2 nights on the Adventure without wine tasting including Shark diving. Fly to JHB and fly on to Kruger for 3 nights and return to JHB for flight home.

Considering that it takes nearly a full day to drive from Cape Town to the Garden Route I don't think it is worth it. I suggest they do a day trip shark diving from Cape Town and perhaps another day doing outdoor adventures. Then from CT they can fly direct to Kruger without having to go via JHB.

When is this tour taking place. I'd like to join. I'm alone.

I can assist you if you can depart on the 27th August from cape Town.

Hello, We would not recommend this tour company we had several issues with the tour and the tour guide refused to address the issues with meals, activities etc. that were to be paid causing us to have to pay for the meals, which were to be included. Furthermore, this took away from the experience as we felt we were constantly reminding our tour guide what was included. This was not a 5-star experience. Our travel agent is working with the tour company for reimbursement for at least our meals. Our only time coming to South Africa and we were disappointed because we did not get to experience what was promised and the aggravation, we had to deal with during the trip of always asking for our meal to be paid etc. Would not recommend this company go with another company. We did contact the main point of contact but unfortunately there was a lack of communication - again causing much frustration. He did advise he would reimburse for the meals missed - but the total experience would have been avoided if they promised to do what they said they were going to do.Show more

Reply from: Explore South Africa
Hi Maryann (Travel Agent) Once again thank you for bringing this unfortunate matter to my attention. I have sent a written apology to your client and reimbursed him for the meals he paid for and also paid for meals that were not included in his tour. I would also like to thank you for the kind remarks I received from you - pasted below. ................. Paul – Explore South Africa, I see on your end (with the statements) you did pay what I had asked - I am complete - I feel and see that you did honor what we discussed. Being that you have worked with us and trying to find a resolution and supplied all documentation that you did on your end I am more than willing to work with you again- in the near future as I feel you did what you said you were going to do. We are good! Enjoy your weekend - look forward with working with you again! Respectfully Maryann
