Great Safari experience and tour of Joburg
Bongizwe has been an exceptional tour guide. We spent together a week touring the different parks and he's been always helpful and ready to "amend" the plan to satisfy our requests. He's very knowledgeable about African culture and nature and we couldn't have asked for anything more.

Fabulous holiday, amazing experiences for all the family, touring the Rainbow Nation
The 18 day safari through South Africa & Swaziland with our guide Bongi was absolutely amazing, a first long haul holiday for my 2 teenagers and we couldn't have picked a better company to go with. From collection at the airport to our final farewell, everything was done to ensure everyone in our group (6 persons) was happy, comfortable and having amazing experiences throughout this tour. If you want a more personalised, small group tour with lovely, varied accommodation, pick Southern Tour and Safaris, I can highly recommend this company, especially if your lucky enough to get Bongi to show you his fabulous country. There were so may amazing places, its hard to pick favourites, but visiting a home and primary school in Zululand (armed with pens, pencils and sports toys) was a brilliant day. Awe inspiring views at Blyde River canyon, getting close to nature around the camp at Mlilwane, rest and relaxation at the beautiful beach in Cintsa, were just some of the great times. We stayed an extra night to tour Robben Island and I would definitely recommend this tour, not to be missed. After months of research about holidays to SA, all sounding amazing, I'm really pleased I chose a small group tour, where you could opt to do different activities such as Bungy jumping ( not me, but my very brave daughter), Elephant Park and wine tasting, to add that personalised touch. Already saving for another trip in a couple of years, hopefully to Botswana and Namibia, and will definitely go with Bongi.

We had the feeling to travel with a friend, not with a guide...
Very good organisation, if there are problems there is a good and quick solution. Our guide is absolut well informed about the places, knowed the best items and the best times to visit the points. We hope to spend some other tours with him and southern tours!

Tour operater/guide (Same person!) was perfect. He took care of us all the time!
The tour was individally designed and planned in close cooperation with us. We were 8 persons in our group - all knowing each other. The locations, especially the tented lodges in Nambiti and Thula Thula, the cottages in Kruger and Mlilwane, were very good. The personnell especially in Sprongbok Lodge and Thula Thula was very dedicated and extremely kind. The local guides, including the one in Durban, were very, very good.
Overall: The tour met completely our expectations! It was a great vacation!

Well designed custome tailered tour with a very quilified and friendly tour operator.
This was our 3. Safarie Tour in South Afrika. We contacted Southern Tours to tailor a special toor with a duration of about 3 weeks. Another parameter was to spend 2 nights at each location. The tour started in Johannesburg and we visited diffenrent location as for example the "Witsieshoek Mountain Lodge" or the "Springbok Lodge Nambiti". All planed location were exelent for our needs and we had a great time in South Africa. The price to quality ratio was excellent. The knowledge of our tour guide was very good and his performance overall great. We plan other tours with this company within the next years.

It was fantastic as he was very careful n caring about everything
We enjoyed the tour organised by Southern Tours and Safaris. Bongizwe was always on time n took care of everything. He was also very helpful n will go out of his way to help.
The hotels booked by him was good and he is very knowledgeable about the country n the animals.
Very reliable and value for money. The company delivers what they promised.Bongizwe is grear guide
Bongizwe never fails to answer all my queries promptly. Hotels provided are up to our expectations. I was worried if he is not going to show up at the airport coz I got his contact thru the Internet.
Through my communications with him I know he is an honest person.
He and his driver Alan manage to locate more animals on our last game drive.
My group members of 16pax had a really good time in Africa. I strongly recommend Southern Tours and Safaris to anyone who wants to go Africa.
My group is made of Hindus Muslims and Christians. He made sure he arrange for halal and vegetarian food.
If we decide to go to Africa again Southern Tours and Safaris will definately be our choice.
Thank you so much Bongizwe for being so patient with us and for making our trip a memorable and enjoyable one.
