We arrived in Port Elizabeth and meet our tour leader., Andrew Lindsay. He was excellent, made everyone feel welcome and gave us a brief overview of our trip. During the next 11 days we had a great adventure. Starting with Addo Elephant park, followed by a superb Safari organised by Andrew. Everything during the trip was very well organised, Hermanus, Stellenbosch, Cape Town, Table Mountain, Robben Island, staying at some lovely places and having the knowledge of a South African guide was incredible. If I have any criticism, is that some of the accommodation was probably not 3/4 star as suggested. However, due to the enthusiasm and positivity of Andrew the holiday was a wonderful experience of South Africa’s Garden Route.
The safari was probably my most inspirational moment of the trip.
Andrew Lindsay was excellent, very knowledgable, patient, organised and enthusiastic.
Pack light, take binoculars, take every opportunity available.
Great trip amazing landscapes and wildlife
The wildlife
Petro was amazing-so knowledgeable and professional, but kind and thoughtful and always went the xtra mile to help us
Take a head torch, dont forget a waterproof
This was an incredible trip. Beautiful places we visited. The game drives were amazing saw so many beautiful animals. Our group was lovely and Petro our tour guide was amazing,she was so welcoming and organised everything perfectly. Would highly recommended this trip. I plan to come back South Africa has a place in my heart now.
For me was on the game drive and an Elephant came right up to the truck,was a surreal moment for me I will treasure that forever.
Petro was an amazing tour guide,such a lovely person. Her knowledge is incredible. She planned everything so well. She defiantly made this trip for me. I plan to do this trip again and I really hope I get her as tour guide.
Anyone thinking on doing this trip,I say just do it. It’s an amazing experience.
Scotia, Tsitsikamma, Hermanus, Ngysna, Table mountain and sailing in the bay at Cape Town were all great. There were lots of other places we visited that were still interesting but I would have preferred to have visited fewer places but be able to stay in them for longer. I was a first time solo traveller though so maybe others would have different expectations.
Waking up in Tsitsikamma.
Petro was amazing, so much energy and enthusiasm.
Pack lighter than I did, cheap but excellent laundry facilities are provided at De Rust.
if you love animals this is the trip for you. The game drives were great. The weather was lovely and food was incredible. An enjoyable trip with lots od beautiful coastal views.
I see Caroline & Chris have already completed a review which has saved me writing anything as I whole heartedly agree with what they have submitted! This was my 6th trip with Exodus and it rated favourably with all the others. I think you can rely on consistency with Exodus. If you don’t want to have to think about what you are going to do the next day or where you are going to eat or even what you need to wear on your feet then choose Exodus!
Excellent - felt safe with all the hours of driving he had to do. He planned, booked and took us to our excellent good value meals.
Be prepared to eat & drink lots and put on weight.
First group tour for me and I was relieved to find I loved it! My husband had done charity group trips before but not a ‘holiday’.
Very varied in terms of accommodation styles, experiences, landscape, seascape and people on the trip – both on the minibus and locals.
Excellent guide too!
Lion roaring, elephants (soooo many) playing, whales breaching. Dining like houseguests in beautiful homes, waterfall swimming, braai eating, sea pool swimming. Table Mountain views. So much more…. And laughing every day!
Andrew from Mask Expeditions is a top bloke! Professional, kind, funny, energetic, capable, knowledgeable and enthusiastic! We enjoyed his company very much. Picked all the good places to eat and organised table bookings (front with views etc!), and transported us all even though evening meals were not included and in towns like Hermanus and Cape Town we did have choices. He can also change a tyre ;-) and is a very responsible driver.
Make sure you stock up on drinks and snacks before going to Avoca Farm and Tsitsikamma. Evening meals are all extra but in those places and also De Rust there is not really a choice. But the meals supplied were fantastic and inexpensive. Go with the flow and enjoy! Accommodation in Tsitsikamma is basic - but the setting is fabulous. Some were not keen on the log huts. I loved it as an alternative and the location is everything.
An amazing trip to South Africa – which included so much. Wildlife, Sea-life, Scenery, Culture, History and Wine Tasting.
Too many moments to mention. The Whales The Elephants Robben Island
Our group leader Petro Pretorius made the trip. Her knowledge, kindness, planning really made the holiday perfect. She is a 10+ out of 10.
Just do it!
We had a full tour with 16 people but our amazing guide Petro Pretorius ensured that everyone had a great experience. I won’t repeat everything written in the other reviews – it’s all true! You haven’t lived till you experience a roadblock of a dazzle of zebra (yes, that’s the collective term for them) or meet one of the big five lumbering around a corner in front of your vehicle, eat a 5-star braai meal (bbq but much more) cooked by your hosts in De Rust, gape at the astonishing stalactites in the Kango Caves, gaze from the top of Table Mountain or listen to an ex-prisoner describing life on Robben Island. In a relatively short tour you experience so many different types of scenery, flora and fauna and culture but in manageable chunks. Petro shares her passion for South Africa with you and gives you a full and honest account of the challenges faced by this wonderful but struggling country.
Listening to an ex-prisoner on Robben Island. He worked in the kitchens but also studied for a degree while in prison and later became a diplomat. Now retired, he guides trips around the prison. 'This work helps me to heal'. We could ask him any questions we wanted and he answered them all.
Petro was truly outstanding. Can't say more.
Stay on for a few days afterwards if you can - there is SO much to do and see in Cape Town.
We were a big group of 15. Everyone got on well. Our leader, Petro Pretorius, was exceptional. Her knowledge was encyclopaedic and she was warm, open & resourceful. At all times we felt safe & confident in her care. She really went the extra mile for us. The food & wine was outstanding and also ridiculously cheap. Our itinerary was well thought out & enjoyable. Accommodation was always clean & well appointed. Accommodation hosts & local people were unfailingly friendly & helpful
Hard to choose between Robben Island, Table Mountain, the wildlife or the township visit. The incredible seafood & wine was up there too
Petro really was a gem. We were so fortunate
