Christina Tran review 29 Mar 2026
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Safari animals, boulder beach penguins and beaches. Food was amazing the entire trip - with thanks to the Tour Leader who is super knowledgeable and chose all the right places.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Contactless via ApplePay or card is widely accepted. Uber is easy when booking taxis in Port Elizabeth and Cape Town and is very reasonable. Ensure to take out sufficient ZAR to tip the Tour Leader c.ZAR1,200 pp, Rangers on Safari c.ZAR300 for 3 days (not covered by the Tour Guide) and tipping staff at the last hotel in Cape Town (Blackheath Lodge) which is also not covered by the Guide. Tipping at Blackheath Lodge can be done via card with your final drinks bill payment.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Lovely vacation at a leisurely pace, enabling us to do some activities away from the group.Holiday Reviews
