We would like to thank Janice for providing feedback regarding her cycling holiday in South Africa; we are pleased to read that she enjoyed the trip overall.
We were sorry, however, to read that she did not find the trip to have a positive impact on the areas visited. This trip is run on small numbers which minimizes impact on the environment and communities visited, it also allows groups to stay at small, privately owned properties for the most part as well as a dedicated eco-lodge where all power on site is wind and solar generated. Entrance fees to Kruger National park also helps support conservation effort towards environmental protection and employment of local people.

You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
