South Africa is an expansive country, with many roads leading to many vistas.
The unique
ability of our associates to select perfect routes is what makes
each of its tours a classic and truly African. Matching the diverse requirements
of visitors from around the world to the diverse experiences to be had in South
Africa requires flexibility, and over the years our associates have
developed over 250 tours departing each week, incorporating features which are
quintessentially South African.
Around the world, scheduled GUIDED tours have traditionally appealed to travellers who like to keep holiday arrangements safe and simple, while
expecting maximum value for money.
Many travelers use a scheduled guided tour as a reconnaissance, returning a
second time to the same country as independent tourists. In regions with a great
abundance of travel choices, like Southern Africa, GUIDED tours serve an
additional purpose: they narrow down an almost unlimited range of attractions to
the specifics of core itineraries, at the same time ensuring that guests’
specific needs and interests can be accommodated.
This translates into the easiest and most convenient way of having it all.
Subtle changes are constantly being made to ensure that the programmes are
updated through suggestions and comments from our visitors, as ultimately it is
their enjoyment that ensures our continued success. Our associates
will continue to provide maximum excitement, interest and value for money to
tourists looking for tried and tested routes giving utmost exposure to the
highlights of South Africa. For day and overland tours, we provide comprehensive programmes for all interests. The quality of transport, as of accommodation, is
to exacting standards.
All tours are conducted in luxury air-conditioned minibuses or luxury sedans
with expert driver/guides. Our associates have achieved this without
compromising the uniquely intimate experience guests receive on smaller vehicle
departures. Driver/guides are able to more efficiently assess and relate to the
dynamics of these smaller groups ensuring a quality, customer-specific
experience.
