A Great Time and Fantastic Experience
5/5

Craig, our guide and host, couldn't have been more helpful. He was able to tailor a trip for us that was exactly what we had hoped for. We simply let him know what our interests were, along with budget parameters, and he did the rest. He was careful to explain what to expect and was quick to answer any questions we had. He was polite, cheerful, and extremely informative. We could not have had the great time we did without his able assistance. We would definitely recommend him and his company

An incredible tour filled with memories
5/5

We are just back from a trip across the southern cape and Klien Karoo for 4 days and our experience with this tour operator was simply amazing! The customized itinerary for 2 of us was awesome, there was no hassle with the payment or contacting the operators. When the tour started, the guide provided was incredible, the hotels that were organized were homely and nothing to complain about during the entire trip, but that it was over already :) I would definitely recommend this operator if you are looking at doing some off the beaten track tours.

Incredible Western Cape Adventure
5/5

We just returned from our visit to S. Africa that included a 3-day tour with South Africa Tours. The Southern Cape, Safari and Little Karoo tour packs so much into such a small amount of time - it matched our needs perfectly. Unfortunately, Craig was unavailable to guide us, but Jen (his substitute) was terrific, with a very positive attitude and a wealth of knowledge covering the history, land, people and animals of this amazing area. The lodging, food, and stops were all top rate. We have no reservations about recommending this tour operator to those visiting S. Africa, or any other destination they might offer.

Great “once in a lifetime” experiences with knowledgeable local guide. Overall great value!
5/5

Anyone looking for great experiences in Southern Africa should consider hiring Craig as their private tour guide. Being a native South African, Craig has local firsthand knowledge of South Africa past and present. He answered all our questions and educated us about 'all things South Africa' with knowledge and pride. His own enthusiasm was contagious! Our adventure in South Africa would not have been as seamless and positive if it wasn't for Craig.

Our family of 4 from Toronto, Canada had an incredible time with Craig as our private tour guide. We hired his company for 2 separate trips; a 4 day 3 night tour of the Southern Cape (including Cape Point, Oudtshoorn, Congo Caves, Private Game Reserve, Cape Agulhas, Hermanus and Betty’s Bay) and a 5 day 4 night tour of Swaziland, Kruger Park (including many hours of Safari driving) and the Blyde River Canyon.

Craig took care of all the details including itinerary, bookings, vehicle rental, driving and guiding. We appreciated that Craig drove us through spectacular regions, ensured we saw major tour spots, as well as, experienced special 'off the beaten track' places that made our trip so special. The best things about our trip were the many excursions, knowledgeable local guide, flexible itinerary and overall great value.

A Taste of South Africa
5/5

My wife, adult daughter and I have just completed a private 5 day garden tour with Craig. We only had limited time to see and do as much as we could in South Africa and Craig achieved this for us. While the tour was structured we had the flexibility to add and subtract to better tailor our trip to cater for our personal interests and tastes day to day, making the whole experience so fantastic. Some of the things we saw and did would not have been achieveable on a larger bus tour and we would probably have missed if we had taken a self drive option. Craig is passionate about his country in all respects, has great knowledge of its history, flora and fauna and wants to share his enthusiasm with you. A very likeable and responsible guide that really made our trip something special. Best memories....Storm River, Catching a wave at Natures Way, geology throughout the trip, exploring little towns and Victoria beach near George. I would definitely use Craig's services again.

Cape to Addo national Park with the owner and guide. Highly recommended.
5/5

My wife and I went on a private tour with Craig, the owner and guide of his tour company, what a wonderful,intelligent and highly knowledgeable chap, we could discuss any subject whether it be the ecologically sensitive Knysna lagoon, the price of property or the political situation.
Accommodation was in ''charming'' friendly establishments, including a private ''lodge'' in the Addo National Park. I highly recommend this tour for it's huge diversity, value for money and Craig's personal touch. Bravo Craig I know Southern Africa tours will grow from strength to strength.
