Trip date: January 2026 - Ray· July 19th, 2025The tour was excellent, our guide, Christine was amazing, well organized and interesting. We felt like we got a first-hand education of life in South Africa. Everything went as planned, and there was quite a bit of flexibility on the extra activities, even to the last minute. We chose the upgraded lodgings which were beautiful but after seeing the backpackers accommodations we might have chosen those instead for the comeraderie. We took the trip in the winter and it was colder than we anticipated.Show moreTrip date: July 2025

- ABAndreas· February 9th, 2025The highlight: Visit of the Addo Nationalpark. We saw about 150 elephants near a waterhole. That's true and an unique experience. Even our driver and guide hadn't seen such a great herd of elephants ever. What else is there to report? Very good accommodations, wines and dinners, best co-travellers aged from 32 to 64 years and a good guide and driver. He drove fast - and there were many miles to drive, which of course took a long time. That was not so good about this tour.Show more

- DBDenise· July 14th, 2024Absolutely fantastic tour with Christine. She went above and beyond to get us to each area in adverse weather conditions.

- KPKay· July 13th, 2024From start to finish, my fantastic experience in South Africa was due to the team at Earthstompers Adventures. Prior to the holiday office staff had extreme patience organising the private Cape Town tour to my requirements and the tour guide, Rochelle, immediately realised that I wanted to pack as much as possible into my few days in Cape Town and more than accommodated that with knowledge and good humour. The Garden Route Tour was well designed and the tour guide, Christine, made it fun taking into account the needs of each individual in the group. Her amazing photographic skills maximised every potential opportunity to take photos at scenic and iconic spots. She was a constant source of information throughout the tour and was probably the best tour guide that I have come across in of all of my travels encouraging me to face my fears and do the highest bridge bungy jump. Our group of five solo travellers from all walks of life enhanced the experience and we left the tour one big family! In Cape Town I stayed at the boutique hotel Derwent House which had such an eclectic environment that there was always something different to look at and all of their staff were so friendly that it was a true home from home. The accommodation on the Garden Route tour was incredible, each unique with affable hosts at each. If I meet anyone who wishes to explore the Cape I will certainly be recommending Earthstompers.Show moreEarthstompers Adventures commented on this reviewWow, Kay.

Jorge
Asked on December 31st, 2025For the tour starting on December 7th, is it too late for the optional excursion: Whale watching boat trip (in season, July - November), R1440?
Earthstompers AdventuresOperator•Written January 2026Whale watching season is from July to November so there would be no guarantees that the whales will still be around on 7 December. More to the end of whale watching season we keep in close contact with the whale watching company to find out how their sightings have been so if the whales decide to leave the Bay later we continue offering whale watching until the sightings have decreased. I can however make a note that you are interested in this activity so if the whales are still around you can add this as this an optional activity.

Asked on October 13th, 2025would we be able to take this tour if it has an age limit of 65. Please advise why the age limit?
- Earthstompers AdventuresOperator•Written October 2025
This is an active tour and it is best suited towards those who like to be on the move, and can comfortably walk, carry luggage, get in and out of the vehicle frequently. The group is a mix between backpackers and guest house clients, and ages can range from 18 to 65 however we do manage bookings on a case by case basis and with both of your being fit walkers it sounds like you would be just fine on the tour and we would love to have you along!

Traveler•Written October 2025We are able to do all except perhaps may have some difficulty in and out of the canoe although one in we can paddle for 40 minutes so could we decline this activity and still go?
- Earthstompers AdventuresOperator•Written October 2025
Your guide and the staff from the canoeing company will be available to assist you with getting into the canoe. Alternatively, you have the option to hike all the way to the waterfall, or if you prefer, you may choose to sit out the activity entirely.

This is an active tour and it is best suited towards those who like to be on the move, and can comfortably walk, carry luggage, get in and out of the vehicle frequently, etc. The group is a mix between backpackers and guest house clients, and ages can range from 18 to 65 however we do manage bookings on a case by case basis and with all of you walking 5 miles it sounds like you would be just fine on the tour and we would love to have you along! The only requirement for the person over 65 would be to complete our age clearance form confirming that the guest understands the nature of the tour. We take a maximum of 12 guests on tour and we already have 4 confirmed guests on 30 March departure so I'm looking forward to receiving your booking and having you on tour.
