With a great, fellow bunch of Aussies we enjoyed a fabulous tour from Zimbabwe (Victoria Falls) via Botswana to finish at Pretoria, South Africa. Our driver/guide Aaron kept us on track to meet our tour commitments. He was approachable and nothing was too much work. The tour itself flew past quickly and the stops were interesting and well spaced. The second last day was quite long but with a break at the Khama Rhino Sanctuary, it passed quickly. The truck was comfortable and met our needs. Overall I would highly recommend this tour to experience the different types of safari styles.Show more

One area that could be improved was the tour guide’s ability to switch between Spanish and English. A considerable amount of time was spent explaining things in Spanish, followed by only a brief explanation in English. This sometimes made it difficult for English-speaking guests to keep up, and on occasions we missed important information about the places we were visiting. Perhaps introduce Whispers in Spanish and English this way all languages can be understood of the places we were passing by Another issue was the timing of lunch, which was often very late, sometimes as late as 3:30 pm. As we were generally doing a city tour before stopping for lunch, it may have worked much better to have lunch first and then continue with the city tour. This would have made the day more comfortable and avoided such a late lunches.Show more

  Traveler•Written July 2025
  Is whale watching possible in Jun? Is there any discount or cheaper prices with similar itinerary?
- On The Go ToursOperator•Written July 2025
  Whale watching is possible from June to November when Southern Right and Humpback whales migrate. We have an overland tour (South Africa, Eswatini & Lesotho 20 day tour) which is cheaper if budget is a concern.
