What people love about Johannesburg to Cape Town Tours
- Cape Victoria Discover Tour: 12 Day Kruger Park, Victoria Falls, Chobe, Cape Town
The Cape Victoria Discover Tour: 12 Day Kruger Park, Victoria Falls, Chobe, Cape Town operated by HoneyBadger Travel & Tours is a wonderful tour and a great value for your money. We were so blessed to be upgraded to a private tour with Jason, the actual owner of the tour company. We always felt safe and well taken care of during the entire trip. We were lucky enough to see the Big 5 of Africa on our bucket list trip. I highly recommend this tour and HoneyBadger Travel & Tours.
- South Africa Odyssey (from Johannesburg to Cape Town)
Cost-effective with great guides -- Zach Tathane and Jonathon Muller. However, our objective is to photograph memories rather than just get to the next hotel. Don't necessarily need more tours but you must add more photo stops!
- South Africa Rainbow Route
I have just returned from Sunway South Africa Rainbow Route tour (17 days). It was an absolutely wonderful tour from start to finish and I cannot recommend or praise it enough! It far exceeded my expectations in regards to sights, accommodation and mostly our guides and food! Our guides Stefaine and Sifiso were incredible and 100% made our trip as amazing as it was with their genuine love of guiding people through the sights of South Africa, knowledge & passion for wildlife and culture and luckily for us their amazing cooking skills.
