What are people saying about South Africa

Leeann_L, Aug 2026

Learned lots during our Soweto tour

Our driver/tour director did a great job for us. Our timing was a little off, through no one's fault, and he kindly accommodated us, essentially giving us a private tour. He taught us about the history of the area, the people who suffered through apartheid, and those who still are working for a better life. We saw and heard a lot, and highly recommend this tour. Thank you!

Cape Town Wine Tour: Stellenbosch & Franschhoek +Tastings & Lunch

BethG, Aug 2026

Best driver/guide

Rico couldn't have been a more generous, more knowledgeable guide. He went above and beyond in every way. (Down to dropping us off at our airbnb rather than the dropoff point, knowing it would be a challenge for my 84 year old mother). We had a perfect day. The wines were superb, and we were all especially impressed with Rico.

Table Mountain, Boulders Penguins and Cape point Day Tour

Sunil_R, Aug 2026

Its the best way to do...

Its the best way to do the sight seeing around Cape Town !! You dont have to worry about the planning and logistics. Best part is the amazing tour guide and driver you get on the trip. Nana and Zane were amazing throughout the trip, and needless to say, all the locations on the itinerary were breathtaking!!

Table Mountain, Penguins & Cape Point Group Tour from Cape Town

clairosborne29, Aug 2026

Fantastic!

Sedick and the Captain arrived on time and were fantastic throughout the day. Their mix of knowledge and humour was perfectly balanced, making the day very enjoyable. The scenic drive to Cape Point was stunning and we were kept informed of what everything was. Boulders beach was the highlight for me, personally. We had just the right amount of time at each place. I'd highly recommend this tour.

Full Day Ultimate Pilanesberg National Park Safari from Johannesburg or Pretoria

Stephany_G, Aug 2026

Not a Zoo

My safari guide, Tman, was amazing! Tman went over what to expect, but be warned, because the property is vast, unlike a zoo, the animals are not contained to specific areas. The animals are free to roam and sometimes a safari group gets lucky with seeing a lion (this is what the majority of our group wanted to see, but didn't get to see; however, after the tour ended, other people in different safari cars said they lucked out with seeing a lion. I saw zebras, giraffes, a heard of elephants, wildebeest, warthogs, rhinoceros, crocodiles, meerkats, buffalos, impalas, hippos, and a variety of birds. The lunch was also amazing!

Soweto /Johannesburg and Apartheid Museum Guided Full Day Tour

keshia_g, Jul 2026

Very Interesting!!

This tour was bittersweet for me. I booked the tour for me and my adult son however, my son ended up very sick and couldn’t attend the tour. Aside from that, the tour was great! My guide Lebo could not have been any more AMAZING! He was kind, with a quiet demeanor but he wasn’t quiet at all. He was so well informed and shared so much information about the places we went and the things that I saw. I really enjoyed talking with him. Since my son was sick and missed out on the activities of the Joberg part of our trip, we may have to visit Joberg again in the future. If so, I would not hesitate to book this tour again! Thanks Lebo for such an interesting and informative tour!!! Until next time…

Wonderful day trip

We had a wonderful experience with Rama as our driver/guide. Very professional and accommodating; totally at our own pace and selected spots we wanted to spend more/less time or skip. The views are spectacular and the penguins are so cute and fun to watch. We also learned about history of the Cape along the way. Thanks so much for a great day.

Cape of Good Hope and Boulders Penguins Day Tour from Cape Town

Solo Traveler Recommends

If you're sitting on this, book it! I'm not usually a tour person, but I'm so glad I did this. Not only was our guide, Peter, great, but the trip to the Cape was also a highlight of my travels. Even with periods of rain/fog, it was worth it (good moody vibes). There were three solo travelers on the tour, and I would recommend it for other solo female travelers. I do not think you could safely do everything on this tour as a single woman without the group element. If you plan to do the Cape lighthouse hike, wear shoes with good tread. Bring a rain jacket and snacks. Enjoy!

Cape Winelands Tour

Enjoyed the Cape Winelands tour to Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl. It was great to taste all the different flavors of wine and experience the beautiful landscapes of South Africa. Also got to visit the prison where Nelson Mandela was released in Paarl in 1990. Great tour!

Paige_v, May 2026

Best views and experience in Africa

This was a special experience. We spent a week in South Africa and this was our last experience. It made our entire trip. What a memorable ending to a wonderful experience. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for the most gorgeous views in all of South Africa and anyone who enjoys the best wine in the world. 10/10!!

WILDX 60min Atlantis Dunes Cape Town QUAD BIKE ADVENTURE + PHOTO

Glasco_M, Nov 2025

Definitely One of The Highlights of Our Busy Trip

Wild X Atlantis Quads - CPT Right out of the gate I’ll say that this was one of the best ATV tours our 5 riders have been on! Most of us had previously selected Cabo as being the best. The key difference being the height of some of the dunes, the beauty and the low level of dust in the air. We barely got dirty! Experience details: ⁃ It was very easy to book via Viator if you did so early. We had a few last minute add ons and they had trouble getting a confirmation before we left for the dunes. ⁃ Price was fair. They offered better promotions about 2 weeks before our date. ⁃ Transportation is not provided so you’re on your own. We called an Uber for what was a 45 min ride. Leave early! Be careful with the Uber rides because our driver told us we probably wouldn’t be able to get a ride back because of the isolated location and offered us an outrageous price to wait and return. We took our chances because he wanted 4x what we paid to get out there. We did find an Uber van that happened to be there afterwards and it was for a fair price. Phone signals can be iffy out there. ⁃ The beauty of the white sand dunes is off the charts. No, there is no water nearby so you won’t have that in your pictures. ⁃ Tour guide- was chilled and laid back. Gave us an adequate briefing based on our experience levels. There was no problem with getting your fun on in this high paced ride. We stopped maybe twice however because of ATV issues. Thankfully he was able to get them changed out very quickly. They also let you bring your phones along so you can shoot photos at various stops. He even offered to shoot motion video with one of the phons and it came out studio quality. ⁃ Paperwork will need to be filled out before you start. It is basically waivers of course. ⁃ No food or water is provided but I did see places at the meet point where you could buy things. ⁃ We would definitely recommend WildX and wouldn’t hesitate to do it again. ⁃ Although the dust levels are at a minimum, I would definitely recommend bringing some type of face cover and nice fitting shades. There are face shields but I left mine up most of the ride ⁃
