If we were to do the 6 day Tour and we added Cape of Good Hope would that then have to be 7 days? We absolutely have to be in Cape Town on the 27th so I was leaving the 26th free just in case there were unforeseen circumstances such as some sort of break down.

If the Cape Of Good Hope is the only place you want to visit then we could fit it in on Day 6, If you also want to see the Penguin Colony, Chapmans Peak Drive and Table Mountain then you are going to have to add an additional day. You can book the 6 day tour now and can decide on an additional day closer to the time

My friend and I were interested in joining the Addo Elephant Garden Route - Winelands tour from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town and we were wondering if it is possible to add on the option of the extra night and visit the Cape of Good Hope, the Penguin Colony, Chapmans Peak Drive and Table Mountain on the 18th of May? We would also need accomodation for the night of the 18th, is this possible?

You can go ahead and book the 6 day tour. Thereafter we can arrange additional services.

Our tour guide Paul has been excellent with organising the trip, suggesting reasonably priced restaurants and extra activities. Paul did his best to ensure we were able to see and do everything we wanted and even changed the itinerary to suit our interests. Paul ensured that we were safe the whole time and was always contactable before and during our tour. Paul’s knowledge on all the locations was excellent and he knew all the best times and tricks for the tourist destinations. Our accommodation was comfortable and situated in good locations. The food was great and we were never hungry. We added the extra day in Cape Town which we thought was well worth the time and money. Overall, Paul has been excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.Show more

Hi John. My son and I enjoyed your company and your sense of humour on your solo tour. You are right in saying solo travel is not ideal. Normally we require a min of 2 guests to run a tour but I did not want to cancel your tour so we opted to do it anyway. I just wanted to touch on your score of 2 for meals. During your tour 3 dinners were included and 4 were for your own account. The meals you had with us you were more than satisfied. Your described the ostrich dish as excellent and the barbeque, you said, was of the best you have ever had. I do know you had problems and disappointments with the meals you had on your own account and I think it a tad unfair to use those meals to review and score a 2. We had no say on where you chose to dine or what you ordered off the menu. I trust you are safely back in the UK and I wish England every success in the 6 Nations Rugby.

  I am now looking at your Tour: Capetown and beyond 6 days. There are 4 of us and our proposed date is 10 March but we have a couple of questions re cost of options. I realise we can get this once purchased but if you can give us an indication of cost that would be helpful. Day 2 Spa, Game experiences: Safari, Lion, Elephant,Meerkat,roaming Cheetah. Day 4 Monkeyland, birds of Eden, Tenikwa wildlife center, Lagoon cruise (evening). Day 5 Boat: Seal Island. Day 6 Lunch final day near Cape Agulhus. Also the Cheetah rehabilitation, what is the location and can this be an additional option.
