Our recent safari with Endless Summer Tours was spectacular! The 9-day Incredible South African Safari and Drakensberg Adventure was perfect for our family. Our guides, Rhys and Tommy, were exceptional—both were knowledgeable and passionate about the wildlife and the environment. Every detail was taken care of, and both guides catered to our preferences with amazing meals. We were fortunate to see diverse wildlife, including newborn giraffes and a group of four cheetahs—each encounter was unforgettable. Endless Summer Tours provided an extraordinary experience that we’ll treasure forever. If you’re seeking a well-organized private safari with passionate guides, look no further. Rhys and Tommy made our trip truly special.

We had a wonderful tour, made possible by a great guide. We wanted to get a taste of a variety of parks and found the destinations very thoughtfully put together. It is a lot of driving to see the various areas but there were strategic breaks. Loved staying inside the parks and having critters outside the veranda . We saw 13 rhinos in one day! Wade was great at seeing things we would have missed and always able to manoeuvre the car for best views and photos. They are quite happy to tailor your experience so don’t be afraid to ask.
