Bike & Safari South Africa’s Garden Route to Cape Town Tour Reviews — 1 to 4 of 4

It was worth exploring the country by bicycle. The garden route is beautiful and with the very good guide and the nice cycling company I had a wonderful holiday. There were very tough bike courses, the weather made the challenge bigger but I wouldn't have wanted to miss it.

De dagelijkse uitdaging, elke rit weer. Alle grenzen zijn verlegd en je komt oersterk en uitgerust weer thuis.
Aanbeveling: avond iets meer rust. Een (half) uurtje extra bij aankomst voorafgaand aan diner. Of ochtend half uur eerder vertrekken? Of het diner samen wat eerder afronden, 21.30 ipv 22.00.

This was an awesome trip that both met and exceeded my expectations. First off, Liselle our trip leader and Wendell, our guide were both top notch. Liselle took very good care of us, sharing her families involvement in the South African farming business. She went above and beyond to arrange a tour of a local hospital and tribal village for our group in addition to the planned itinerary, plus her cooking skills were quite noteworthy. Wendell couldn’t have been more knowledgeable about all things South African, including the politics and history, the animals, birds, plants, ecology, etc. He had extensive experience and education which he shared generously throughout our tour. Our accommodations were great. The bikes were great. We got a nice touch of the local culture, farming, expansive panoramas and safari time. Seeing this part of South Africa was great, seeing it on a bike was even better.
My group then went on the Nzdhaka extension in order to add safari time on to our South African experience. The camp was quite comfortable, the food was plentiful and good. We enjoyed our twice daily game drives where our guide and driver Prince was on a mission to ensure we had a variety of experiences up close and personal with the animals. On our last morning, our last game drive, Prince used his skills and knowledge to track a mother leopard and her baby for us to observe. It was the perfect ending to an excellent adventure.

Every day the natural beauty on the Garden Route in South Africa was breathtaking.
The many sight seeing trips made this tour even more interesting. Did you know that South Africa has a huge colony of penguins? The hike on Robberg Peninsula takes you to enormous dunes. A day in Addo Elephant National Park will let you observe many different animals. Before visiting an ostrich farm, you will already have seen 100's of them.
The accommodations were diverse and always lovely.
I recommend this tour highly.
