Better a than Expected and more!
Shaun is our go to guy. He was always available and heard what we thought we were looking for. From transfers to flights, accommodations, tours, food and being blessed with fabulous animal sights this was our bucket list trip. When we needed advise while on trip, Shaun was quick to respond. Hat’s off to EastCape Tours for our special experience.

Very professional, they definitely know Africa.
This was a delayed trip and should have been for the British & Irish Lions Tour, but we had to change the date and redo the itinerary. Stephanie was fabulous, all my queries were promptly answered, suggestions to itinerary changes were perfect and all the properties we stayed in, recommend by East Cape Tours, were excellent. Costing was kept to minimum which was a bonus. Nothing was too much trouble.
East Cape included a brilliant Wine Tour in Franschoek and a Coastal Explorer Trip in Knysna, which was upgraded to a Whale Watching Tour.
We decided to drive Route 62 instead of the normal Garden Route, from Franschoek to Knysna and loved everything about it. Lots of places to stop and break up the journey, its about 6hours non stop driving.
Definitely put Woodhall Hotel and Spa, Elephant Hill and Villa Afrikana, Knysna on the itinerary. Both fabulous, friendly properties, great food, brilliant staff and good locations for some peace and quiet. Our choice of Safari at Pumba was based on East Cape Tours recommendation and a friend had stayed a few years before. It was brilliant, our Ranger {Brando} was knowledgeable, interesting and we felt in very safe hands.
I would definitely use East Cape Tours again and have recommended them to friends.

Shaun took out the stress of all the logistics of safari planning.
Shaun was integral in nailing down my safaris on very short noticed. We video chatted about what I wanted to do and he made it happen including the transfers and flights which are quite complicated. Even though I had planned the rest of my trip on my own, he offered me advice and great suggestions for my whole trip to South Africa.

Booking a lodge and a car made easy, safe and pleasant.
Jacky from East Cape Tours was amazing. Her communication was always prompt, so friendly and competent, she even rang me once so we could have a quick chat to get to know and trust each other. Jacky quickly understood our needs and responded to it perfectly. What she found for us was just 100 percent what we had been looking for. Jacky made booking our SA experience really easy and pleasant.

Brilliant from start to finish!!
Cearl our initial contact with the company was so good at explaining the options to our safari trip and kept me reassured that our booking was safe throughout the 2 year lockdown in South Africa. We recently got to take our holiday to SA and the Safari to Gondwana was the highlight of our family trip!! The place, accommodation, food were without fault and our tour guide "Mark" was exceptional, so knowledgeable and passionate about all the animals and he went above and beyond what we ever expected!! A truly lovely fella and his driving skills in the rough terrain was pretty amazing too!!
An overall fantastic safari..
Excellent Service!
Communication was excellent, always ready to assist. Found the perfect place and then upgraded it!

Wow just awesome, great advice, everything went perfectly.....
We originally booked this tour in 2018, so with everything going on, we had to cancel and move it twice. Each time, we had the same rooms and hotels. I was extremely impressed with the hotels B&B's on the garden route. It seemed like each was better than the next, each detail was taken care of. The Safari at Tau game lodge was also perfect. We have the family suite so we had a common living room with our friends which worked out great. I would certainly use east cape tours again. They were available while we were on the road and got back to us quickly when we had questions and provided good timely answers. they were very helpful.

Professional in every way
Cearl was our tour operator. After interviewing us, she went about organizing the perfect trip. We were supposed to go 4/2020 and we subsequently had to reschedule the trip 3 more times before we went this year. She canceled and rebooked this long trip for us each time professionally and patiently. We even changed the itinerary once. This was a fantastic trip, exceeding our expectations. At the end, we tested positive for Covid ( we had no symptoms) and could not fly back to the USA. We found out late in the evening of our last night. I emailed Cearl and she was on the spot, explaining the next step and setting us up to quarantine in a wonderful place. It is so important to have a good tour operator. Also, we are thankful we got travel insurance.
