6-hour Schotia Safaris shore safari from Port Elizabeth with an English guide, 4x4 open-vehicle game drive, snacks, and elephant sightings.
“Mir ist klar, dass es in einem Reservat keine "normalen" Straßen gibt, dass es eben einfache Wege sind. Aber in diesem Reservat sind die Wege dermaßen stark ausgefahren, dass riesige Löcher und Fahrrillen entstanden sind. OK - das kommt vor. Aber wenn dann der Fahrer mit Vollgas in diese reinfährt, damit er auf der anderen Seite auch wieder rauskommt, dann passiert es leider mehrfach, dass es einen aus dem Sitz katapultiert und man mit dem Kopf gegen das Dach des Fahrzeuges knallt. Das hätte ich nun wirklich nicht gebraucht. Wir haben mit anderen Besuchern gesprochen, die die Safari in diesem Reservat über einen anderen Veranstalter gebucht hatten - die hatten…”
Kayak Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard for 2 hours, spotting dolphins and penguins, with Table Mountain views and a garden smoothie reset.
“What a phenomenal experience. The guides were far more upbeat and groovy than I have ever experienced around the world! They all had boundless knowledge of the ocean that they call home and too were comprehensive in knowing the inns and outs of Cape Town. Great post tour recommendations on where to hang and lap up more experiences like theirs in different genre's. Thanks Truth Travel for the kayaking trip of a lifetime. Check you in the future!”
Cape Town safari in 2 days: 4x4 game drives, luxury tented lodge in Oudtshoorn, optional elephant observation, Route 62 road trip.
“Résultat mitigé. Dylan, le guide était top. Je le recommande vivement. Le programme est intense sur les 2 jours avec de longs trajets de 6h. Mais vous n’avez pas le choix si vous venez de Captown. Les van ne sont pas confortables. Concernant les 2 safari, cela me paraissait plus être un grand zoo sans enclos plutôt qu’un safari. J’ai moins apprécié le 1er safari Bufflesdrift car plus petit et beaucoups moins d’animaux. En revanche les lodges surplace et l’environnement étaient magnifiques. Il n’y avait pas de lions dans les 2 réserves. Suppléments éléphant cher, mais sympa car nous avons pu les approcher de très près et de les toucher.…”
Guided walk at Jukani Wildlife Sanctuary in South Africa, with prepaid entry, close-up big cats, and time to ask questions.
“Greeted the reception staff who were friendly and polite. The young lady told us to get a bite and start the 2:30 tour as they usually get the animals ready to be fed. We went to the overpriced quaint cafe in a beautiful setting close to the farm animals, which we did not go sRead more”
Private wildlife photo tour at Tenikwa in Plettenberg Bay, featuring wild cats, meerkats, and conservation talks, plus plenty of shooting time.
“This is a working conservation establishment so what you see depends on what they are caring for at the time. We saw more animals than anticipated. All looked well cared for & our guide clearly has a love of animals. He was knowledgeable and informative.”
One day in Port Elizabeth with craft markets, Donkin Reserve, penguin rescues at SANCCOB, and a 4x4 open-vehicle safari for wildlife spotting.
“Nina made our day, everything was so perfect. We saw the Hotspots of Port Elizabeth, Had an exiting Safari, nice wines to try, and the beautyful Beach at the Lighthouse. We had so many awesome impressions and a lot of fun.”
A 4-hour combo at Tenikwa Wildlife Center with a Tsitsikamma forest walk, wild-cat viewing, and a lunch platter with drinks in Western Cape.

Full-day Pilanesberg safari from Johannesburg with open-vehicle game drives, lunch, and Big Five chances, in a small group.
“Nosso transporte feito pelo sr. Jason foi tranquilo e pontual, ida e vinda. Muito atencioso e solícito. Nosso tour pelo parque foi muito legal, não vimos os Big Five, apenas w deles, mas vimos muitos outros animais. E o mais divertido foi a briga de girafas e os elefantes invadindo a rua, passando ao lado do carro e até indo atrás. O motorista Peter foi muito bem nas explicações.”
