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.

East Cape Tours so helpful in difficult circumstances.
I booked a multi centre trip which we unfortunately had to postpone due to Covid, Lynn helped us promptly to rebook the entire trip for next year, there was no additional cost and nothing was too much trouble, I highly recommend them.
Really looking forward to it, I am desperately in need of a vacation.

Great service
In The East Cape Tours we were in touch with Nerine. She was always quick in responses and planned our tours in South Africa customized on our specific needs. We went with East Cape Tours to safari and vineyard tour. Everything went smoothly, all the guides and drivers were always on time as planned and we really enjoyed our stay. The Kariega Homestead was beautiful place with nice people around and amazing food. We can only recommend!

Great and professional
I only had 24 hrs to explore and this company made the most of my limited time. Great people and food and very nice lodging. I was a single traveler adding this on to a work trip and the employees and other guests were a good, fun group to be with.

ZIMBABWAE WHAT A WONDERFUL COUNTRY
After returning from our two week holiday to Zimbabwe I just wanted to again thank East Cape Tours namely Colin, Kia,and Tehillah for an amazing job in helping us create such a wonderful adventure.
From my first contact with Colin I was instantly impressed with his professionalism and the effort to guide me through our booking process. Colin emailed me through a few itineraries to look at which made it easy to map out our final destinations.
We had 3 nights at the Rhino Safari Camp, 3 nights on the Umbozha house boat sailing on the Lake, 3 nights at Sable Sands then onto Victoria Falls for our last 3 nights.
This trip has everything you would every want from a holiday. All our accommodation was excellent and the food was so impressive and plenty of it. Our game drives were made so much better as our guides were both intelligent and informative their calming nature make you feel extreme safe which is kind of important when those very large elephants stroll on by.
The highlights of the tour were of course the animals, but the people of Zimbabwe were warm and friendly and we learnt so much from them.
If you are looking for a company to create your next adventure I can’t rate East Cape highly enough.
IF YOU HAVEN’T CONSIDERED ZIMBABWE – GIVE IT A GO YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED
Life changing AND life-affirming in every way possible
Thank you for the trip of a lifetime. Starting with Denise in Reservations, Patrick My ever-faithful driver, Addo elephant park the, De Drift Inn, and then the amazing Shamwari . I can’t speak highly enough....Simbu, Marley, my ever gracious hosts, James my dedicated and delightful Game driver and all of the staff to say it was exceptional is a massive understatement. And then on to 5th Ave., Beach’s house in PE with Chantelle, Ada, and Sandy. I made friendships that will last a lifetime I loved it so much I did not want to leave!! I plan to return and hopefully purchase a home there in the next two years. Thank you for the gracious, welcoming, delightful, trip of a lifetime. It was not only life affirming, is life-changing. I will be back as soon as possible....and hoping to buy. Home there in2 yours. Amazing country and amazing people. Thank you so very much for welcoming me to your country and guiding me through a a solo trip of a lifetime.
