Great Tour of Cape Town and Surrounds - Thank-You!!
5/5

My husband and I toured with Southern African Tours in late September 2019, and we can't say enough good things about this company. Craig and his team organized and executed a perfect and wonderful tour of Cape Town and surrounds for us. Right from the start, Craig was responsive in his emails. While the company does do pre-arranged tours, based on our interests, Craig tailored a private tour itinerary for us, including whale watching, cheetah visits, wine tasting, wildflowers and amazing scenic vistas, and shark diving. Our tour guide, Derek, was fantastic, we had the absolute best time with him. He was knowledgeable and lots of fun! The B & B's used by Southern African Tours are first rate, we were very impressed. While we did not go to safari on this tour, we did see wildlife (lots of birds, Eland, Ostrich, Zebra, Bontebok, Baboons, and Springbok) which was an added bonus! Cape Town and area is absolutely beautiful - a must see destination! I really recommend Southern African Tours and Craig's team, thank-you for helping us realize such an amazing trip!!

South African Odyssey with personalized touch
5/5

We have just finished an 18 day South Africa tour from Johannesburg to Cape Town by minivan with Craig, Bianca, and Jerry.Craig, the owner planned every detail to our extensive trip through South Africa.Our family of three travelled in a comfortable, air conditioned van from Johannesburg/Soweto to Blyde River Canyon,Kruger National Park,Swaziland, Isimangaliso Wetland Park,Durban, the Garden Route, till
the Cape of Good Hope with lots of time in beautiful Cape Town including the Winelands.
From the moment we got in touch with Craig on email, he responded to all our inquiries and adjusted our tour to suit our needs.He was able
to add my adult son to the itinerary just a few weeks before leaving.Craig and Jerry have an extensive knowledge of South Africa and were great raconteurs of it's intense history and knew a lot about the wildlife we encountered along the way.The accommodations Craig arranged were
comfortable usually including a satisfying breakfast and the places we stopped along the way were all fascinating.
I would highly recommend this small local tour company which gave us personalized service great value for the money as compared to
tour companies based in the U.S.A. or Britain.Craig, Bianca, and Jerry gave us an unforgettable trip and I would highly recommend them to
anyone.

The tour was excellent, extremely organized and we had a great time.
5/5

We went on a tour to Cape Town, then headed to Zimbabwe and Botswana for three amazing days.
Cape Town was incredible, we had the chance to visit the table mountain, Cape of Good Hope, Boulder’s beach, Dickinson Island and go on a tour of the wine lands. Our guide was very kind, informed and extremely professional. We had a great time!
Zimbabwe and Botswana were a true dream.. we went on a safari and a boat cruise. The food was delicious. The people were amazing and everything was perfect. Everything was extremely organized, we never got bored.
Wonderful!

Craig & Bianca made my tour amazingly memorable.
5/5

I cannot express how incredible Craig & Bianca made my trip to South Africa & Zimbabwe. The level of communication leading up to and during my trip was stellar. Their overall level of service was awesome. I had a spectacular time and won't hesitate to book with them again. I did a semi-private tour and they made me feel more like a friend than just a client. It was worth every penny.

Top notch and reliable
5/5

My daughter and I booked with Craig and Bianca for late March / early April 2022. Dealing with them was a great relief since we had just had our original tour cancelled by another operator and we ended up being very happy with Craig and Bianca's level of concern, communication and flexibility in laying out our semi-private tour. They kept us in the loop the entire time.

I feel we had excellent value for our money and ended up staying in great places throughout our trip. We especially loved staying near Kruger National Park as the accommodations were beautifully arranged and very peaceful. We had an excellent time on safari, where we were able to see tons of wildlife including the big five. Craig and Bianca showed up a great time all around Cape Town, making sure we had a safe and enjoyable experience. Very reliable and we would definitely rely on them if we ever had the chance to return to beautiful South Africa.
