1.5 Day Garden Route and Addo Safari – Best of South Africa Small Group Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 291 reviews · from $575Our pick

A packed 5-day small-group circuit from Cape Town featuring Addo elephants, Garden Route hikes, and Jeffreys Bay beach time.

“This must have been the best guided tour I have ever been on. Our Guide, Uriel, had exceptional knowledge about everything around the places we visited and beyond and organized everything perfectly. It felt more like traveling with a friend than someone who is getting paid for it after the first few hours into the trip already. If you travel solo or with friends I strongly recommend the dorm option as you will meet a lot of nice people along the way and have a lot of social activity in the evenings.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 23 reviews · 5 days · from $793

5 days from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth with Addo elephants, Touw River canoeing, Tsitsikamma hikes, and Garden Route viewpoints, plus optional thrills.

“It was amazing! This is a clear recommendation for earthstompers‘ tours (5- and 6-day): the programme is a great mix of seeing a lot of different places with different activity options, there are some breaks during driving each day to relax/doze off, but it is not taking up too much time (I think the max. was 4h, but the on-board entertainment programme as well as the breathtaking views during the scenic route make it go by very quickly). Christine, our guide, was just great: we got an interesting mix of South Africans history, geography, wildlife, economy, languages, … and explored deep caves, calm (luckily) rivers in canoes, climbed through forests…”

14.Johannesburg: 5-Day Classic Kruger National Park Safari

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 10 reviews

5 days from Johannesburg to Kruger and Balule, with sunrise and sunset drives, an armed bush walk, and a starlit bush BBQ.

“The safari was designed to be very animal- and environmentally friendly, which was most important to me. The rangers are very knowledgeable and explain a lot during the trip. It was a varied and adventurous program. The food was very good and my vegetarian needs were catered for. In general, all requests were accommodated. The only negative thing I have to report is that the schedule was sometimes too tight and made us feel a little stressed. Occasionally, the rangers drove too close to the animals, which made me feel that the animals were stressed. Of course, they are impressed by the tourists, but you can also observe the animals…”
