3 Day Safari and Coastal Tour from Cape Town

Don't doubt....Just book it. You won't be disappointed!

This 3 day tour was truly a wonderful experience. From the beginning to the end of the trip, every detail was taken care of. I can't praise our tour guide Chris enough.....he is a true asset for the company Bokbus. Chris was so accommodating, kind and pleasant. Full of interesting stories during the ride about the culture, the history of Africa the animals, nature and other facts. He is allround extremely knowledgeable! When one of the group members became ill during the trip, he went out of his way to accommodate her, purchased some meds and kept checking on her! The Garden Route Game Lodge was absolutely stunning, with carefully kept grounds, a bird trail, 2 heated pools, bar, wonderful restaurant and very friendly staff. I had a chalet with terrace overlooking the nature. The interior design was gorgeous and very tasteful. The welcome letter in the room with weather forecast, turn down service, Nespresso machine with cups and local made luxury bathroom amenities from Healing Earth in glass bottles were a very nice touch and much appreciated. Wish I could have stayed for a few more nights at this beautiful Lodge. I forgot the name of our safari tour guide, but he was wonderful as well and gave us lots of interesting information on the animals. On the evening tour we were very lucky to encounter the Big 5 and the next morning, we again saw plenty of other animals again as well. Since I was there in the month of June (start of winter) the evening and especially the morning Safari were quite chilly, so a coat and even some thin gloves came in handy. During the day it was nice and sunny and just a jeans/thin pullover were sufficient. I definitely recommend this 3-day tour!

Best Tour Ever!

I highly recommend this tour! It was wonderful to discover so many different places with a small group of travelers from all over the world. This was definitely the best way to see the surrounding sites near Cape Town and I would totally book it again if I had the chance to. Plus, Chris, the tour guide, was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, reliable and, I should also add, patient with everyone ;)

Must-do when in South Africa

This was an incredible three-day tour with a fabulous guide Mawandeyengwa. He shared so much information and was the epitome of a fantastic host. The weather wasn’t great on day 2, but the game reserve chalet all but made up for it. I will never forget this trip.

Response from the operator: Dear Valued Customer Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that your 3-day tour was such an incredible experience.

While we're sorry the weather wasn't ideal on the second day, we're so pleased that your stay at the Garden Route Game Lodge more than made up for it. Sometimes even a rainy day can't take away from the beauty of the experience and the memories made. Thank you for choosing to travel with BokBus and for your heartfelt recommendation.

Great Tour, excellent Guide, beautiful Lodge

We recently completed a wonderful three-day tour along the Garden Route, including Hermanus and Betty’s Bay, and overall it was a very enjoyable experience. Everything was very nice, and we especially loved the lodge. It is a beautiful facility with a great atmosphere, and we felt very comfortable there from the moment we arrived. The two game drives were a real highlight. It was fascinating to see the animals up close and learn more about them — a truly memorable and interesting experience. Throughout the trip, we also had the opportunity to learn a lot from our driver and tour guide, Mawange. He took very good care of us, was always friendly and attentive, and shared many interesting insights along the way. We would like to warmly thank him for his excellent support and for making the tour so pleasant. We also met very nice people from many different countries in our group and had a lot of fun together, which made the experience even more special. One small note: the tour was conducted in the reverse order of the original itinerary, which caused a slight delay on the first day. It would have been nice to follow the planned schedule, but overall this did not affect our very positive impression. In summary, it was a very nice tour with great experiences, a wonderful lodge, and excellent guidance. We can definitely recommend it.

Response from the operator: Dear Valued Customer Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed review! We're so pleased to hear you had such an enjoyable Garden Route experience.

We also appreciate your feedback about the itinerary running in reverse and the slight delay on the first day. Thank you for your understanding, and we're glad it didn't take away from your overall experience. Thank you for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back for another South African adventure in the future! Regards The Bokbus Team
