Everything we hoped for
We spent 14 days on safari with Stephen & Gerhardt. They introduced us to the beauty, the animals, and the people of the Kalahari. We stayed in wonderful hotels, visited spectacular private reserves, and got off the beaten path to have close up encounters with the animals of Africa. From Kudus to Elands, Giraffes to Zebras, Lions to Elephants to Cape Buffalos, we had multiple sightings of all of them. Our guides were knowledgeable, familiar with the local people and adventures, and treated us like we royalty. A flawless vacation, with memories for a lifetime.

One lekker holiday
We ended up booking our holiday quite late and were lucky enough to find that explendor tours still had time! Best thing that ever happend to us! Stephen and Emily were the best guides we could have wished for! They put in all the time and effort to make it the best holiday we could ever wish for! They were both such a laugh and we genuinely had a fantastic time! Honestly it was like being on holiday with a group of friends! It was a sweet lekker lekker time! We are already thinking about our next trip with Stephen and Emily!

Amazing trip made just for us.
Explendor Tours was great with staying in contact from the day we began our email exchanges. They were helpful in creating the exact tour that we wanted. Once on the ground we had a private tour with guide Stephen and his wife Emily. They are both wonderful people who go out of their way to accommodate your wants and needs on the trip.
We felt very looked after and would recommend Explendor Tours to anyone. You can't go wrong with them.

Holiday of a Lifetime with Explendor Tours
Every part of this vacation was exceptional. Our tour guide Stephen and his wife Emily made this a trip of a lifetime for my family. We spent 3 weeks in Botswana, Zambia and South Africa traveling around viewing the wildlife and I can say we were impressed. We saw every animal we wanted to see in the wild not just at the sanctuaries with the exception of a cheetah, which we did see at an endangered species centre. All of our accommodations were excellent but the girls at Rivernest Boutique Cottages made us feel like part of the family.
If you want to be up close with the elephants, Elephant Sands is the place to stay. We watched them frolic in the water hole for hours.
I think anyone travelling to South Africa should book their trip with Explendor Tours, they will not be disappointed.
Thanks again to Stephen and Emily for making our vacation one we will never forget, you were amazing hosts, we will miss you both.
Breathtaking!
The service was outstanding. From the time that I booked until the time I left. I felt like family. the level of service to meeting me at the airport and taking me to the hotel, and to ensure as a single traveler I always felt secure and never felt I was never unsafe.

A Fine Experience
Stephen and Johann provided excellent support and narrative for our trip through Kruger National Park. We really enjoyed viewing the animals in their habitats and discussing natural and human history connected to the park. Given the small size of our vehicle and restrictions on the rear seat windows, it might have worked a little better if Johann, Cheryl, and I had been able to switch seats from time to time, allowing better use of our DSLR camera with its big telephoto lens through the front passenger window. But having narrow windows to shoot through was a minor annoyance in an otherwise great trip, and we got stunning photos of giraffe, rhino, lion, leopard, zebra, wildebeest, elephant, hippopotamus, crocodile, impala, kudu, and many bird species. Stephen made our next-day trip from Graskop to Pretoria into another great experience. We saw lots of country and learning a great deal about the area's geology, history, forest practices, agriculture, and small towns. Great job, Explendor Tours!

Blown away by an unforgettable, exhilarating, and truly authentic African experience!
I am a proud South African, born and raised. From a young age i have been intrigued with Africa, traveling, and exploring. Throughout the years I have been privileged to have many of my dreams become a reality as I traveled to every continent in the world, including Antarctica! I thought I had seen and experienced just about as much as boy from a small town can experience...until my wife and I went on the 13 day tour of Botswana and Zimbabwe with Explendor Tours!!! We were blown away by the rich experience! I thought I knew a lot about Africa and the wildlife it has to offer, until this trip! It was packed with beautiful scenes, breathtaking sightings of wild animals, and insightful commentary from our tour guide Stephen! The whole tour was relaxing, but at the same time packed with activities like game drives, river cruises, hikes with real Bushmen and so much more!
I am already planning to do another tour with Explendor Tours, but this time with my whole family!!
It is an experience I rate very high, if not the highest, on my travels so far!
Thank you Stephen, and the Explendor Tour staff for opening a whole new view of the beautiful Africa we love so dearly!
Forever grateful.
