Great trip! TK was so helpful and always available to help. The hostels we stayed in were amazing and the activities even better, I strongly suggest the elephant walk, bungee jumping and sandboarding.

Corney tailor-made a trip into the Little and Great Karoo for us, and it could not have been more perfect. He understood exactly what we liked and catered to every little whim. He is knowledgeable, interesting to talk to, and very easy to be with. His quiet, unassuming manner, sense of humour and happy disposition resulted in his trip being the highlight of our travels. We cannot thank you enough, Corney, the Karoo will forever be etched in our minds and our souls. Already looking forward to coming back and doing another trip with you.

My family visited South Africa with Paul Coetzee from Explore South Africa twice, once in January 2017 and more recently in November 2019. We were a group of 12 people with elders above 60 and children from 13 to 2 years old.In both cases, Paul patiently helped customise our tour over several months via email and Whatsapp so that it could accommodate all our requirements for Muslim ( Halal ) food, accessibility and safety for the children. We did the Garden Route in 2017, driving from Cape Town to Port Elisabeth for 1 week with stops for safaris and garden route views along the way. In 2019, we drove from Durban via Swaziland on to a safari in Kruger Park and then to Johannesburg. The road trips were well planned with comfort stops and lunch breaks. Each overnight stop was a real pleasure in excellent accommodation and great facilities. They were facilities I did not find on internet booking sites and that seemed to be used by the South Africans for internal tourism. So it made using a local guide very much worth it. Paul is an extremely kind, helpful, patient and resourceful person who has dealt with our shopping sprees and large number of luggage bags with a lot resilience. He showed us the best of South Africa and relentlessly searched for the animals until we managed to see the big 4. The only one we didn't see was leopard. But he extended our last day driving down to the leopard trees areas to try and find one. He is very knowledgeable and is happy to explain and share information. I would highly recommend his services to anyone going to South Africa and wish him continued success.

Andy took a small group of friends to Die Strandloper last weekend and was absolutely great. The Van/bus was very clean and roomie and Andy was very friendly. We forgot a few things and Andy was very helpful in getting us organized again. I got quotes from a number of other shuttle operators and Andy had the best rates. Would highly recommend.
