Is abseiling down Table Mountain included in the itinerary? What is the average age of tourists on this tour?

Abseiling from Table Mountain isn't included in the itinerary, but you do have some free time in Cape Town on Day 2 after visiting Table Mountain. You may be able abseil down instead of taking the cable car, but this would need to be arranged independently. Once a booking is in place, we can check with our local office to see if this would be possible with the timing of the day. If it is, you'd then be able to book the abseiling excursion directly with the operator. In terms of the age range, this trip is part of our Classic travel style, which means it can vary quite a lot depending on the departure date. That said, we often see a good mix of travellers, with many solo female travellers in their 30s and 40s. If you have a specific departure date in mind, we can check the current demographics of that group and give you a better idea of who is already booked.

Could you please let us know your available times for the tour?

We offer multiple departures each month on this tour. Please let us know your preferred month and we can let you know the specific departure dates.

I require my own private room at all destinations

A single supplement would be an additional 569.00 AUD, however that particular departure date is sold out of these. We can request it for you but it would not be a guarantee, so if you'd prefer to look at an alternative date that includes one, just let us know.

interested in this tour- could you hive me more details about the dare and the hotels

Please see attached the tour notes for the Best of South Africa. You will find all of the accomodation listed at the bottom of each day.

Do you have any add on tours after this one ends? I am thinking of about 5 extra days in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, and Botswana. I just want to be on the water and to witness Victoria Falls.

We do not have anything as short as 5 days, however I highly recommend the following: Our 8 Day tour 'Johannesburg to Victoria Falls Overland Safari & Participation Camping' would be perfect as it starts in Johannesburg and then travels north to Victoria Falls. Alternatively, our 7 Day tour 'Zimbabwe & Botswana Safari: Victoria Falls & The Big Five' would allow you to see Chobe National Park as well as Victoria Falls.

I would like to know the type and name of accommodations? What are the optional tours for this itinerary

Accommodation for this tour includes Hotels (4 nts), Tented Camp (2 nts) Lodges (3 nts). Specific accommodations are Cape Town - Inn on the Square, Johannesburg - Onomo Johannesburg Sandton Hotel, Kruger - Awelani Lodge, Kruger - Umbhaba Eco Lodge. Optional Activities in Cape Town include: Sandboarding Half Day Tour - Atlantis Dunes, Hout Bay Kayaking Half Day Tour, Cape Point Explorer Day Tour, West Coast Explorer Day Tour. Optional Activity in Hazyview is Kruger National Park Full Day Wildlife Safari Drive.

If I'm able to get off work so I can take this trip can I register for this trip and request to share a room with my friend who's going?

Yes, with you and your friend's written consent you can share a room together on this journey.

Can you tell me the maximum number of seats are on this tour? How many seats are open for the September 25, 2025 tour date?

The maximum group size on the 'Best of South Arica' tour is 18 people. Currently on the September 25th date there are 8 spaces still open.

1. The length of times to each new destination is somewhat unclear. Day 4 = is it an 8 hour trip from Johannesberg to Kruger? or a 1.5 hour trip? Day 6 = is it a 10 hour drive? or a 1 hour drive? Day 9 = is it 5 hours from Kruger to Johannesberg or 1 hour? 2. Are there places to eat on the days that do not include lunches or dinners? 3. What vaccines are mandatory coming from the USA? 4. Is Travel Insurance mandatory? 5. I believe I will be booking a one-way flight from USA to Cape Town. Departing one way home to USA from Johannesberg? 6. What kind of attire do you recommend wearing for this tour? 7. Booking a tour in Sept/Oct is 5-6 months away. Would I be able to get all expenses reimbursed if I needed to cancel this trip?

On day 4, it's 7-8 hours journey to Kruger National park, this includes breaks and lunch stop along the way. Day 6 is a full day Safari drive in Kruger National Park, on this day there is no drive to another area. Day 9 is 4h-5h30m drive to Johannesburg. When meals are not included, there are always stops, places to eat, you will pay for what you order. There are no mandatory vaccinations. Travel Insurance is Mandatory to travel with us. You can book a multi city round trip, arriving in Cape town and departing from Johannesburg. Clothing is best to wear clothes for safaris 'comfortable, neutral-colored, and breathable clothing like khaki, olive, tan, or brown'. The 20% deposit required is non refundable, in case of cancellation, it becomes lifetime deposit which you can use towards a future departure or another trip.

Do you have trips to Victoria Falls as an add on?

Im sorry we do not offer Victoria Falls as an add-on to any of our trips. We do have quite a few trips that end in Victoria Falls. You should be able to view them via the Tour Radar portal.

  On the day the tour goes to table mountain, the group takes a cable car up and down? But I may be able to abseil down instead? And in that case I would arrange my own transportation back to the hotel?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written March 2026
  Yes that's right, the group will take the cable car up and down the mountain. If you wanted to stay longer & abseil down, you would need to organise this independently, and also to get your way back to the hotel.
