    Thank you for your review! It’s great to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that guide TK’s perfect mix of information and humor made the journey even more fun. We understand that a little extra time before activities would be nice, but as you mentioned, this fast-paced adventure is designed to cover all the Garden Route’s highlights. For those looking for a more relaxed pace, we also offer 5-day, 7-day, and even 10-day Garden Route tours that allow for extra time to soak in each destination. We’d love to have you join us for a longer adventure next time! Warm greetings from South Africa, -Team Hotspots2C

    Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're so happy to hear that you had an amazing time on the 3 Day Garden Route + Safari tour. We understand that the drive can sometimes feel a bit long, especially when balancing travel time with exploration. However, covering the distance allows us to share some of the most stunning parts of our country with our valued guests in a short amount of time. It's all part of making the journey as memorable as the destinations! We also appreciate your suggestion about the longer 5-day tour—it's great advice for those who prefer a bit less driving. We’d love to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure! Always keep exploring, Team Hotspots2C

    Can we have the tour 3 of us on April 18 or 19 for $402 each?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Hotspots2cOperator•Written September 2025

      Only Friday departures have the USD $402.00 per person rate available (Shared Dorm room Stay Package). This is because Fridays are our scheduled departure for this 3 day Garden Route + Safari tour. Any other days are still bookable, but at a more expensive rate and in Guest House accommodation because it will be a requested unscheduled date. If you join on Friday 17 April, then the $402.00 per person rate can apply.
