Welcome on tour family Van't Sant!



Jessica meets Roan



Paul, Roan & Gea with Savannah



“It’s been a week now since we left South Africa. Roan’s back to school and we’re working again. We would like to thank you for making it possible for us to do this great trip. The Kruger tour was absolutely fantastic and we enjoyed every minute of it. We miss the morning game drive’s, breakfast outside, spotting the game (oink, oink) and the fun we had. The help and care from you and your sister was just great, it made the trip a real vacation for us all. Walking with Aquila, touching Savannah and feeding Jessica was an unforgettable experience. You picked the right places to stay and the best spots to go to.”

8 Day Kruger tour 16 -23 August: this time it was Sabine’s turn to go on tour - she took Paul, Gea and their son Roan (The Netherlands) through the KrugerPark accompanied by her sister from Switzerland who was also visiting. They make a good team! :)

Paul, Gea & Roan then joined us in Cape Town for the Cape Town highlights leg of their tour.

Thank you Paul, Gea & Roan for such a lovely time...

Journey Of A Lifetime: Namibia tour 12 July - 10 Aug


UK's Journey of a Lifetime (JoLt) arrived in Windhoek on Sunday 13 July. In collaboration with Jenman Safaris we met the JoLt group there and for the next 28 days we made our way through Swakopmund, the "Adrenalin Capital" of Namibia, where the group jumped on quad bikes and sand sledges and explored the sand dunes; the Cape Cross Seal Colony & Spitzkoppe for close-up encounters with seals & some team sports challenges; Etosha National Park, Okonjima and its Cheetah Sanctuary, the Namib Naukluft National Park, Sossusvlei, Fish River Canyon and Hobas, the Kalahari desert where we met up with some Bushman guides and trekked further into the desert to explore; and Khamkiri for some kayaking.

CONQUER THE DUNES!


After that it was time to say good bye to magnificent Namibia and make our way across the border into South Africa.. Our first stop was Kimberley where we took a tour of "The Big Hole" - the largest hand-dug excavation in the world, and the museum to find out more about the history of the area. We then made our way to the Kingdom of Lesotho or "Kingdom of the Sky" as it is also known, being more than 1000 metres above sea level. And then it was off to Graaff Reinet to camp and meet the local people before heading off to Knysna, Plettenburg Bay, Storms River, Mossel Bay and Oudtshoorn. We slowly made our way west through the gorgeous Garden Route until we arrived in Cape Town for tours around the city.
What a tour!
