Kruger National Park Safaris

Cape Town, a sophisticated city at the south western tip of Africa, is often seen as the gateway to the majestic African continent. The extraordinary scenic beauty and first world flair has made it a popular attraction to many celebrities, artists and tourists alike. Our tours are designed to show off the city in all its diverse facets. It is also the departure point to destinations such as the scenic Garden Route, the semi-desert Karoo as well as the beautiful coastline to the sub-tropical holiday city of Durban on the east coast. Join our tours to enhance your experience of this beautiful coastal landscape!
Johannesburg is the largest city of South Africa. It's been given a few endearing names such as Jozi, Jo’burg, eGoli, and Joeys. After a modest beginning as a mining town, the city has grown onto the region's financial hub. It's also the provincial capital of Gauteng and falls within the 50 largest urban agglomerations in the world. Johannesburg is also southern Africa's hub for air travel into the region. Many of our local and regional travel packages start and end here.
Port Elizabeth, officially renamed Gqeberha, is known amongst the locals as PE and is also called Nelson Mandela Bay. It is one of South Africa’s large cities situated along the south-eastern coast of the country. Often referred to as the ‘Friendly City’ it is primarily a holiday destination with open sandy beaches and temperate weather. PE is the economic hub for the locals in the area and further inland. The city also effectively demarcates the eastern border of the scenic Garden Route and places itself as a perfect beginning or end to a tour through this scenic wonderland! We conduct multi-day garden route tours with daily departures from here or Cape Town.
Durban is situated on the sub-tropical eastern coastline of South Africa. It's synonymous with balmy weather (even in Winter) and beautiful golden sandy beaches. The city is home to an extraordinary cultural diversity of African, Eastern and Colonial heritage. The city is often called South Africa's cultural melting pot. It is the destination of family fun on the beaches, street markets and eateries, offering a huge culinary diversity - often with a prominent Indian flavour. The famous Bunny Chow, a curry and bread dish, originated from here! It's an international air and sea entry port and gateway to excellent safari opportunities. The highest mountains in southern Africa, some of the world's highest forested dunes, the first world heritage site in South Africa, African bush teamed with wildlife, breathtaking scenery and tropical beauty are all part of destinations within three hours' drive from the city!
Client Testimonials
We really had a blast on this trip. Started with Debbie who booked it was great, nice plan and really worked well. We started in Cape Town for… read more the Garden Route with Barry as our guide. What an amazing few days. We enjoyed every minute of it, not always easy with three kids (2 teens!). Barry did a great job. Who knew an ostrich farm could be such fun? And delicious.
Then we met Jac. A charming fellow who my kids impersonate to this day ( heyyyyy man). We went to Kruger Park on my daughters 17 bday……top ten day in my life. Absolutely unforgettable. WOW.
All the places booked were fantastic, we ate like kings, and really enjoyed this trip. Thank you Southern Circle!
This was an accompanied tour with an individual guide over a 3 day period out of Durban. The tour included breakfast, dinner and overnight accommodation all of which were of… read more good standard. My guide was very knowledgeable and amiable which is a must if you are sole companions over a 3 day period. I learned a lot about South Africa though I would recommend reading up a little history before taking the tour as the sites visited are not in historic chronological order covering the great treck (1835-1838), the Anglo Zulu War (1879) and the South African War (Boar War) (1899-1901).
I would thoroughly recommend this company for their touring expertise as I am sure, from my own experience, their itineries would be well planned and expertly executed.

My wife and I had the pleasure of enjoying a fully private escorted tour of the Garden Route from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth through Southern Circle Tours. … read more Everything was exactly as promised. Extremely easy to arrange via internet though half way around the world. Our guide, Barry, was on time and full of interest stories. He represents a real side of South Africa that some tourists may never witness. We have tons of stories from our time together. Highlights were overnight and dinner at La Plume Guest House and the Cango Caves. Barry even took as a tad ‘off course’ to enjoy the Tenikwa Cat Adventure. Would highly recommend Southern Circle Tours.
