This tour makes us of local tour leaders who are experts in their own country. On this trip we use a little bus to get around in, with a maximum of 16 people on it. As this tour covers much of the south coast of South Africa, we explore a lot of the wildlife living here. We visit many reserves and national parks where we pay entrance fees, which go towards the welfare and conservation of the park and its animals. We are able to learn a lot from naturalists who guide us through some of the parks that we visit.
During our stay in Cape Town we hope to walk up Table Mountain. We do this on suggested routes and travel down by cable car, both of which ensure that minimum impact is made on the mountain by visitors. We visit Whalesong Costal lodge, where we will go into the township and meet the local people, with whom we have a good relationship. This enables passengers to develop a good relationship with the locals and learn more about the culture of South Africa. We stay in locally owned accommodation and eat great local cuisine too!
Our Tour Leaders are all trained by us in the importance of responsible tourism with guidance given on how they can make a difference. This then percolates down through those they deal with.
As well as the above, we support a variety of charities and projects worldwide which support vulnerable communities and habitats including Friends of Conservation, Hope Worldwide and Send A Cow. We are also actively engaged with UK travel industry bodies which promote best practice in responsible tourism, such as Tourism Concern, The Travel Foundation and AITO. Our commitment to responsible tourism is not limited to our overseas operation and we have measures to ensure our UK office operates according to our responsible tourism policy. Carbon offsets for all flights booked with us are included in the tour cost.
This small group operator is just celebrating its 30th year and was originally set up to enrich people’s lives through adventure travel. They find the family travel experience is very popular and groups gel together quickly. Taking your children to local communities creates an instant fascination and can be a natural ice-breaker. Family adventure holidays can offer an opportunity to learn about other lifestyles and break down barriers. There is great advantage to spending time together, doing things you would never normally consider, as opposed to taking a package holiday where your children are separated and sent off to their own area.

We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
