A wonderful experience, personalised, well organised and a brilliant guide.
We were somewhat cautious about booking an "organised" tour having only done so once previously and been greatly disappointed. Not so on this occasion! From starting the booking process Knap Tours were attentive and responsive and communication was superb. We were picked up from our Cape Town Hotel by our Tour Guide, Macdonald, and, as good fortune would have it, we were the only people on the tour so had a lovely comfortable SUV to ourselves with Macdonald. He proved himself to be an excellent driver (this comment from someone who is a lousy passenger!), very flexible and cogniscent of our interests and an amusing companion. We are both less young than we once were (76 and 82) and he tailored the activities with this in mind!
All accommodation was excellent and of a high standard and each day we took Macdonald's recommendation of restaurants and experienced a variety of different cuisines, without exception enjoying every one.
We visited Mossel Bay, Botlierskop Private Game Reserve, Knysna, Bloukrans Bridge (where we declined the opportunity to Bungee Jump!), Tsitsikamma Forest (where with the encouragement and accompaniment of Macdonald one of us managed the River Mouth Walk!), Jeffrey's Bay, Addo Elephant National Park and Oudtschoorn. It's difficult to pick out highlights but and Botlierskop Game Reserve was really beautiful and had a good variety of game and we were able to see some fascinating interaction between species. We finished with a sundowner in the peace and quiet observing the wildlife. Driving through the Garden Route was a lovely experience but, scenically, driving through the Klein Karoo was amazing, such different and spectacular scenery and quite unexpected. We had to miss one highlight which was Cango Caves but, due to recent storms, the road had been washed away.
The tour was really good value, not grossly expensive but of a high standard. We really cannot recommend Knap Tours enough and look forward to perhaps taking another tour with them on our next visit to South Africa.

Excellent! Exceeding our expectations!
Highly recommended!! We wanted a 6-day safari, and Julián proposed a tailor-made program for us, both in terms of budget and activities! We were pleasantly surprised; the program was very comprehensive, from arrival at the airport to departure, making the most of each day with car tours, walking routes, excursions, and of course, the safari...excellent. We also want to highlight the excellent service before and during the trip. I would definitely contact them again for future vacations. Many thanks to the Knap Tours team! Thank you for creating memories.

Excellent, Professional, Reliable Safari Tour Operator with a great team.
Safari was excellent. The Knap team (e.g., Macdonald and Julian) was very professional, communicative, helpful, responsive, and we really enjoyed the one-day safari experience. We got to see so many different animals within seconds of starting the Safari; the game reserve and facilities were very clean, nice, and welcoming (their staff was lovely). The food was delicious and healthy (we had breakfast and lunch there). I also got to enjoy swimming in the very nice pool. Travel was very smooth & MacDonald was sharing information along the way. Great conversation and music (loved the Afrobeats)!

Excellent
Half day safari was great thanks. Early Morning is the Perfect time of day to see lots of animals. We saw Giraffe, Zebra, Wildebeast, Kudu, Springbok. My guide Alion was an interesting, friendly and knowledgeable guide. Would definitely recommend.
Very reliable and professional service, and more affordable than other options.

So knowledgeable and interesting
My son and I took the Windhoek Game Tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. We learned much about the area and its history—and some some wild game in the process!

Everything was really lovely
We really enjoyed this experience. The Buffeldrift Lodge is a beautiful place to stay and to experience wild animals.
Macdonald was extremely friendly, patient and knowledgeable.
We had a wonderful Winelands tour with Macdona with Knap tours. We were picked up on time and enjoyed our drive to the Stellenbosch area. We visited 3 wineries and had delicious tastings at each. Macdonald also brought us to a restaurant in the town of Stellenbosch, The Wine Glass, and we had a wonderful conversation with Macdonald at lunch. The wineries visited were wonderful. The last one also had olive oils to sample. The Vineyards were top tier and we enoyed the beautiful scenery during the drive.
We also used Knap tours to pick us up at the airport and bring us to our hotel when we arrived in Cape Town. Macdonald greeted us after we exoted baggage cllaim with our name on a sign,.no waiting! We highly this awesime service. We already have booked our airport drop offs with them as well.

A service that puts you at ease
From start to finish, the process was seamless. Contacted them initially to enquire about a transfer and they responded within 20 mins with all the information needed. Price was so reasonable in comparison to other transfer options. A WhatsApp group was made the day before with times and information provided. Simba transferred us from Cape Town to Sanbona wildlife reserve and his service was exceptional. Arrived promptly, put us at ease the entire journey, allowing us to stop when needed, providing great tunes and giving us really interesting information on the area. Took a beautiful scenic route. Cannot recommend enough and would advise checking with this company first before taking the transfers offered by the places you are going as they are usually double in price.

Brilliant organisation at very short notice
Julian put together our last-minute three-day safari trip to Namibia at one day’s notice and stayed in touch to make sure all the arrangements went smoothly (they did). He responded immediately to our initial enquiry. We were met at the airport by our driver/guide Jeff, who was excellent, knowledgeable and attentive, so our experience in Etosha National Park was truly amazing. We would thoroughly recommend Knap Tours.
