    Do you have any dates during the first week of Jan 2024

    • CosmosOperator•Written August 2023

      Good morning. We can offer our Highlights Of South Africa Tour (Tour 3850) on the 13th Jan 2024. This is also a 9 day tour.

      Kathy

      Traveler•Written August 2023

      Thanks Lorraine for your prompt response. Looking for dates during first week of Jan. Can we combine 2 different tours?

    • CosmosOperator•Written August 2023

      Good morning. All our tours are set dates. Most we only have one departure in January which is mid Jan. You can do 2 tours back to back, but we cannot do half of one tour and half of another tour. The only tours I can offer in early Jan would be with our sister brand Globus. We do have some independent offerings. You don't travel round with a group, you are just in your own party.

      The available departure is August 12, 2023. Once we know what date you would like to travel, we will be able to see the amount of people that will be on the tour with you. The optional excursions along with the price will be included in the travel packet once your booked.

    Stuart

    Asked on December 26th, 2022

    Could that VFA-JNB flight become a VFA-CPT flight somehow? It would save us a stop in JNB and it looks like the cost difference in the two wouldn't break the bank maybe

    Monique

    Asked on November 20th, 2022

    What hotels are used in this package? Does the coach have a toilet? Is this trip good for a person using a walker, I have MS.

    Accommodation
    Transport
    • CosmosOperator•Written November 2022

      Hotels are not confirmed until approximately 30 days prior to departure. The hotels we have listed as examples are: Johannesburg- Garden Court Sandton City, Kruger National Park Area- Protea Hotel by Marriott Kruger Gate, Cape Town- SunSquare Cape Town Gardens. The motorcoaches used in South Africa do not have toilets/washrooms, neither do safari vehicles. The suitability for this tour is up to you. If we are able to accommodate the walker itself, it may not be suitable to use during the tour, particularly during the safari excursions, where the ground is uneven. We are not able to slow the group down in order for you to catch up. Overall, I believe you would have to decide if you are able to take this tour.

    Laura

    Asked on August 20th, 2022

    What are the hotels in each city for this tour? Can we opt out of scheduled/included activities? What does the $1129 up front costs mean? Can you assist us in pre-booking optional activities in certain cities?

    Asked on June 10th, 2022
