“Great sail trip through the heads out into the Indian Ocean! Fantastic experience! Great and lovely food back in the lagoon.”
Sail into Knysna’s sunset with sparkling wine and a light Mediterranean platter, watching for wildlife from a small yacht cruise.
“This cruise was wonderful and the team on board were amazing. The food served was the best I’ve ever had on a boat. However, I was a bit disappointed that we didn’t get to actually experience the crux of the sunset on the boat which was the main point of this cruise. We docked at the best part of the sunset and so, we watched it coming off the boat instead.”

A 5-hour Lesedi Cultural Village tour with welcome drumming, five ethnic homesteads, dancing, and a traditional lunch or dinner.
“L'accueil en chanson fait bonne impression, le personnel chargé de l'animation est très avenant. La visite est essentiellement basée sur le visuel : reconstitution de huttes traditionnelles et scènes jouées par le personnel. Le spectacle de danse est très agréable et impressionnant mais tout le reste paraît artificiel et semble être monté de toute pièce pour plaire aux touristes occidentaux. Au final, je n'ai pas appris grand chose.”
