- Helen· October 26th, 2022We saw so much of South Africa in just six days. Paul was polite, well-mannered and always on time, and dropped us off distances which we could have easily walked on some occasions; showing that he always had our safety in mind. We stayed in a range of accommodations, all of which were clean and spacious with decent breakfast provided, and some of which were spectacular. Would certainly reccomend.Show moreExplore South Africa commented on this reviewThank You Helen. Your kind words are really appreciated.

Asked on December 22nd, 2023I'm interested in booking a tour, but it only has six spots and all are currently open. I'm concerned that if nobody else books it, I will be a) the only person on the tour, or b) it will be cancelled on me. What should I do? What kind of guarantees are there?
- Explore South AfricaOperator•Written December 2023
Unfortunately we require a minimum of 2 adults for the Cape Scenic Safari to take place. We currently have no bookings for this period. We only have a 6 day safari from Cape Town to Addo starting on February 5th. We offer a tour for 1 Adult called the "Explore The Garden Route - 4 days".
