Overview

I don't know of anywhere else in the world where you can experience such a diverse offering in a short amount of time. On our 5 Day tours, guests can see two oceans, mountain ranges, a semi-desert, participate in shark diving, whale watching, or bungee jumping, not to mention seeing spectacular African wildlife in a National Park! We manage to fit that all in, at an affordable price to boot!

Our guides are South African born and passionate about people and travel. The establishments we support are locally owned and owner run. Last but not least, the food we provide on tour is deliciously local and traditional. We provide excellent service from receiving the booking all the way to dropping you off on the last day of tour.

This was a very well planned out tour start to finish. Food was excellent and accommodations were clean, safe and comfortable. Our guide Christine was friendly, knowledge and helpful! I got to see so much of South Africa’s rich culture, incredible people and breathtaking views. This was an unforgettable trip!

Mark is an absolute legend! Thanks so much, Mark, really made a trip of a lifetime. The trip was amazing and couldn’t ask for more. Was perfect for both solo adventurers, couples or mother/daughter etc. and our group of 12 had the perfect mix of all ages and backgrounds! Accommodations and food were great. Everything very well organised and a great tempo for squeezing so much in but not feeling tired.

After spending a week exploring on safaris at Kruger and Timbavati, we were ready to see another of South Africa's gems and found it south in Cape Town and along the Garden Route. We truly enjoyed seeing the penguins in a very natural, uncrowded, environment, away from all the tourists, (like on the Cape Peninsula site). We loved the seaside town of Hermosa, with its mesmerizing crashing waves. Sunset at Agulhus was beautiful, where the two oceans meet. Our guide at Oudtshoorn was very informative about the ostriches, but the "game drive" there was a bit lacking after seeing Kruger! We loved the canoe/hike activity to the waterfall in the lovely national park, and our son even bravely completed the bungy jump along with two other guests on our tour! His wife and dad and I were happy to just be on the bridge with him and watch! The lodging facilities were very nice along the route, and we especially liked the first one, with the brai bbq inside and the funky bar area. Seeing the many elephants at the waterholes at Addo was awesome, they are so interesting to watch. We luckily saw a lot of other wildlife as well. Having time to spend sampling local wine at a vineyard and walking on the beach was nice too, as this is such a beautiful area of South Africa. I can't say enough about our very upbeat, responsible, and friendly guide/driver Rochelle. She really made the trip fun and worthwhile. I was also grateful that our group of 12 had six people our son and daughter-in-law's ages, and six our ages! Everyone was happy! There is quite a bit of driving on this tour, but the places you end up in each night were worth it. Many thanks!

Myself and my friend completed the 5 Day Garden route tour with Earthstompers in Jan. it was an ideal way to see the Garden Route and so much more, we packed in so much into the week and got to see and so many lovely places. All the accommodations was fab, comfortable and clean with lovely food. A special mention to our guide Christine, she had so much knowledge of the area, was very accommodating to all our requests, coffee stops 😀, she also helped us organise onward travel. We had a fabulous experience from start to finish, plenty of laughs along the way. Would highly recommend, thanks again Christine
