A wonderful experience, personalised, well organised and a brilliant guide.
5/5

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.
