  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.

  We (group of 8 from Ontario, Canada) booked this tour through Serendipity Travels, Durban who did all the arrangements, via Southern Circle Tours & Safaris to combine safari in Kruger… read more Park, with the most interesting spots of the Panoramic Route. Unfortunately we were unable to do Johannesburg due to an ice storm in Toronto that delayed our trip and tour. As we arrived we were flown to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe for amazing 2 days view of the falls.
Taki was our tour guide who picked us up for the most amazing tour. Our stay at Skukuza camp was comfortable and the meals were delicious. During these 5 days he was driving us to the most "memorable, picturesque” photo-spots to see elephants, giraffes, lions, rhinos. We were able to take plenty of good photos. Taki was so knowledge about Kruger’s birds and mammals. After an early morning game drive we left and entered the escarpment of Mpumalanga. He was showing us the most stunning places of the Panoramic Route (Lisbon Falls, Bourke’s Luck Potholes, God’s window, Blyde River Canyon, and many more). As a group we like to thank Taki for his kind, polite, open-minded and a competent man who has done his best to reveal to us the beauty and magnificence of African wildlife! Keep in touch. We were dropped off and on our flight to Cape.
In the morning we were picked up by Barry another interesting guide who drove us around, Cape Town City, Table Mountain, Cape Peninsula, Robben Island, etc and a wine tour before we departed on our garden route which was well planned. Beautiful coastal route to Mossel Bay visiting the oldest post office tree 1488. Particularly worth a mention is our stay at the beautiful La Plume, Oudtshoorn. The accommodations at La Plume were very high quality and luxurious. The ostrich fillet at La Plume is a must-try. Cango caves and Knysna, Tsitsikamma National Park etc on our last stop Port Elizabeth.
We were picked up by our guide Jac who was our guide who drove the wild West Coast. Before leaving PE we wanted to visit a hindu temple and Jac’s tireless effort of finding the Murugan temple for us. Stopped at the Addo Elephant Park etc before entering KwaZulu Natal in the south on the way to Durban. Visited the most amazing Oribi Gorge, Lehr’s fall.
Next day off to Drakensberg Mountains stopping on the way, at the train station where Ghandi was thrown off, Howick Falls and where Mandela was arrested etc and a overnight stay. In the morning we set off to Sani Pass on a four wheel drive with hair raising bends and breath- taking views. Our guide was Lucky who was an excellent driver who had to maneuver those sharp corners. We entered Lesotho – referred to as the Kingdom where lunch was served 3000m above sea level. View was amazing.
The tour was well planned (25 days) and gave us everything we could have wanted, from spectacular scenery to all the animals. Accommodation options were very good in all the locations and our guides Taki, Barry and Jac were excellent. Very knowledgeable and interesting. Serendipity and Southern Circle both did an excellent job.
