group size is 42-50, do all 42-50 travel as one group?

Yes, the tour group does travel as one group for all included sightseeing and activities.

There seems to be an incoherence between the route description, and the map. Can you please check?

1. I do not see Port Elisabeth on the map (Gqeberha instead - is this nearby or another name?) 2. there is a flight from Kruger national park to Johannesburg, but map shows Mpumalanga (South Africa) Pretoria (South Africa) and then Johannesburg (South Africa) So what is the tour exactly? I am confused.

The trip was excellent overall. Our tour director Margaret George was brilliant, knowledgeable and exceptional director in total control. The drivers were Maxwell and Joe. Their demeanor skills and friendliness was beyond reproach. Accommodation was very good. 1 or 2 of the hotels are in need of updating. Meals provided were good. The tours achieved their aims. Big 5 were seen. Would recommend it. One note of caution on home bound flights please arrange to be in Johannesburg early. You may be pushed to get through to your flight in 3 hoursShow more

  1. I do not see Port Elisabeth on the map (Gqeberha instead - is this nearby or another name?) 2. there is a flight from Kruger national park to Johannesburg, but map shows Mpumalanga (South Africa) Pretoria (South Africa) and then Johannesburg (South Africa) So what is the tour exactly? I am confused.
- CosmosOperator•Written September 2023
  Gqeberha is the new name for Port Elisabeth. We have tried to make sure all documents reflect the new name, however, some documents may have been missed. They are one in the same.
