- Fiona W1 contributionWhat a wonderful experience. Mawande was so knowledgeable and really taught us a lot about the very interesting history of South Africa as well as all the different sites and villages on the drive to the Garden Route Lodge,
The Safari was fantastic! We saw all the animals over the two days including a cheetah with her cubs, which was very special. The lodge itself was beautiful, with super friendly/helpful staff and unbelievable food. I would love to return with the whole family.Written December 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Cyntia de Oliveira MathiasVitoria, ES461 contributionsThe 2 Day Wildlife + Safari with Hotspots2c was amazing!!! It was a great opportunity to visit Buffelsdrift and Botlieskop again. The guide TK was perfect and extremely professional, polite and intelligent. His knowledge was incredible. It was not my first time with this amazing company. All my times in South Africa I choose Hotspots2c, because they're perfect. 😍Written December 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- lfr94Leamington Spa, UK59 contributionsEducational and thought provoking tour by previous inmates that where held captive. Boat trip is approx 45 mins to the island, bus tour around the island and then in the prison. 8am for us to 1pm and well worth a visit.Written December 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kathryn R1 contributionThis was an excellent tour! We saw so many beautiful sights including a boat ride, and time observing beaches and mountains. The ending at Table Mountain was spectacular. My mother has limited mobility and Gordon, our guide, took excellent care to make sure we had the best access to the sights. Our guide Gordon was super friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour.Written December 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JoolsGateshead, UK229 contributionsWe had a wonderful tour of the wine areas . Horeh the guide and Bonisile the driver were fantastic and very informative. The vineyards were lovely with superb samples to drink and food parings. We wished we could have had more time at each place.Written December 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Richard ELondon3 contributionsWe had a brilliant day out with Mike and Bobby exploring the beautiful Cape Peninsula, everything was so well organised. The scenery was amazing and Mike gave us a great commentary on everything we saw. Just the right amount of time at each of the stops. It was nice to get the chance to stretch our legs at CapePoint walking up to the lighthouse and then walking down to Cape Hope. As well as all the penguins at Boulders Rock we also saw several ostriches, a baboon and some eland during the walk. Definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the area around Cape Town.Written December 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sandi L50 contributionsThank you Beyond Africa! Although there was a last minute change to our hotel pick up time it worked out wonderfully. The 2 hr morning drive to Aquila's 22,000 acre reserve was a continuous jaw-dropping landscape of 6000' majestic mountains & vineyards. Upon our 8am arrival at the reserve, we were served a welcome cocktail & good buffet breakfast then headed out at 10am for the 2 hr game drive with "Max". It was such a thrill to be in wide open spaces surrounded by mountains where we got so close to hippos, ostrich, zebras, rhinos, eland and elephants! The lions are in separate "enclosure" but you get right up to them for fascinating views & photos. It rained off & on so we do recommend packing your raincoat since the complimentary ponchos are a bit thin & short. The buffet lunch after the drive was abundant w/many tasty choices! We had read some reviews about travelers disappointed that it felt like a zoo...but NOT us! Our friends were amazed at the photos & videos we posted in social media. In fact, our entire day's experience, ESPECIALLY our guide Clemente M., was an absolute South Africa highlight! Clemente gave us a wealth of information about the history of townships we traveled through, development of tunnels, effects of apartheid/colonization, and all in such a sensitive manner. He went ABOVE & BEYOND in making us feel so welcome & appreciated, that we will be HIGHLY recommending this tour to all our friends at home.Written December 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lyn H22 contributionsBooked tickets in the UK. Very easy via Trip Advisor. Boarding the ferry was also easy.
Once we reached the island, we entered a bus that took us on a tour of the island. The bus was full and quite cramped. There were both English and French speaking on the same bus, so 2 guides were commentating. Not an issue, but had it been just one language, we may have got round a bit quicker as we had to wait at the various stops for both to finish.
There was a 10 minute break at a very limited cafe but it did sell drinks and a cake.
Depending on what side the bus you were on, depended which landmark you were able to see.
Once the bus tour finished, we were met by an ex political inmate who gave us a tour of the prison itself and a little speech at the end about his experience. This also felt rushed as we didn't have time to look at the exhibition.
We then quickly had to leave for the ferry back.
Good tour, the guides were very knowledgeable and would recommend just because of the history.
However, it was rushed, crowded, saw only half the landmarks and no time to browse the gift shop.Written November 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
