Cape Town, Garden Route & Safari Traveller Reviews

We had the most incredible 11-day trip to South Africa with Africa Collection. The itinerary put together took us along the Garden Route and had a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation, taking us to locations such as Cape Town, Plettenberg bay, Franschhoek and a safari! The safari was definitely the highlight for us - it was a breathtaking experience seeing such magnificent animals up close, and one I will never forget!

From the moment I contacted Africa Collection to plan the trip, their attention to detail and personalised planning were outstanding! Alex was incredibly helpful and sent us all the information we needed for each area we were in, including top tips, packing suggestions & restaurant recommendations. The service provided made the holiday all the more special and I want to thank Alex and the rest of the team at Africa Collection for making our holiday dreams come true!

Flying from Heathrow we had 5 days in Cape Town seeing the sights, followed by 3 nights at Pumba Private Game Reserve, near Port Elizabeth. Cape Town was lovely, easy to find our way around & plenty to see and do. The highlight for us was definitely Pumba. We a mixed age group this was something that the whole family absolutely loved. Pumba itself was fabulous, the staff, the amenities and the location. The guide, Josh, and the game drives were sensational, almost too good to be true. We saw animals that we usually only seeing with David Attenborough narrating in the background! Would highly recommend to anyone, whatever age group.

Everything we could have required was provided. All the documentation was great, incredibly informative and allowed us to be confident as soon as we landed. We knew who would be meeting us, where were going, and had utmost confidence in the entire itinerary.

Starting off in Cape Town we travelled to Franschhoek, then on up the Garden Route staying in Knysna, Plettenberg Bay and Pumba Game Reserve.

We booked through Feherty Travel, Bangor, Northern Ireland who used Africa Collection as the operator. All five of our locations were excellent and helped us to have a relaxing holiday which added to the overall experience.

60th birthday celebrations for my husband. Cape Town, Winelands, Safari and seaside. Fantastic!

Everything had been thought through and the information provided was excellent, even down to directions to get from A to B etc. All the accommodation was of the highest standard. Would recommend anyone going to Africa to book with them.

we travelled from Cape Town, through the Garden Route (stopping off at Hermanus, Outsdroon and Plettenbug Bay), to Pumba Game Reserve, then to Mauritius! Superb accommodation, excellent routes and a holiday of a lifetime.

Very good.

We had a fantastic time on our honeymoon in South Africa. From contacting Africa Collection initially they managed to put together a holiday within our budget that met our requirements. Everywhere we stayed whilst in South Africa was above and beyond our expectations and you could see where they were chosen by Chris. The safari reserve was out of this world. Thank you so much. We want to return to Africa in the future and would definitely use Africa Collection again to assist with this.

Quick responses and easy to contact. Great accommodation choices. It was apparent from the accommodation that the tour opperater knew the country well
