Our guide, Marco was excellent. He was knowledgeable, friendly and assisted in multiple ways to provide a memorable experience.
Some of the accommodations were unique. The tourist sites were very interesting. Overall, a well organized trip.
Our leader was excellent in his job. He was attentive, knowledgeable, well organized, and shared interesting stories. He displayed an enthusiastic energy about Africa. He was also a great driver! I would highly recommend him for an African journey.
We had an amazing time. Marco is excellent. Anyone that has him as a guide will be very lucky. Excursions and food were great. I would book with them again.
Night safari, tour guide, kayaking and cape of good hope.
He was a great communicator. Had great knowledge of the excursions. He was very passionate about his job. I would take another tour with him.
The tour showcased the beauty and culture of S Africa. We saw beautiful scenery, wildlife and had lots of fun on the way. Our tour guide, Marcus was full of knowledge and was an enthusiastic leader for the tour.
The safaris
Marco was an amazing leader and was such fun. He was enthusiastic, entertaining and knowledgeable. He was also very kind and patient. We couldn’t have had a better leader than Marco and he really was a joy to have as a guide and made us all embrace his beautiful country.
Every trip we have done with you has been amazing. The team leaders go over and above to ensure you have an unforgettable experience. Booking is simple and any pre tour questions are always answered timely and professionally.
Additional game drive - we had a bull elephant walk down the edge of our truck. It was jaw dropping. Storms River beautiful - great hiking. I could go on but the whole trip was superb.
He was knowledgeable, hard working and went over and above to ensure was accommodated, happy and thoroughly enjoying there adventure.
From Port Elizabeth to Cape Town, we loved every minute of the tour, learning so much about the country, the culture, the people, the food and the wildlife. Our guide Marco had a wealth of knowledge on all of the above and with boundless energy was prepared to go to enormous lengths to make the trip special (he also has a wonderful sense of humour).
The group comprising 15 people (about the right size) was so warm and friendly, making it a pleasure to get to know everyone.
The hotels were all well equipped, with some better than others: Tsitsikama had amazing views of the sea, House Martin was a clear step up (run by a lovely couple), while The Windsor was great provided you have a sea facing room (do pay for this to avoid overlooking the car park). City Lodge is a typical city travellers hotel but has just been refurbished so it was in good condition.
The trip may not be super-active but the pace is full on as you move from activity to activity and from location to location. We ate in some fantastic spots and Marco was always on hand to recommend the local specialities / what not to eat at each restaurant. He even managed to convince us to try Mopane worms by the end!
Wine tasting under the trees in Stellenbosch was lovely despite the food and tour around the facility being a little shambolic.
When in Cape Town, the Robben Island tour was well worth attending especially for the second part when you are guided by an ex-political prisoner. Our last night of the tour at Marco’s Restaurant (not related) in Cape Town which was such a fun way to bring it to an end.
Overall, a fabulous trip which we thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend.
The views at Knysner Head and Tsitsikama
AMAZING
Take some cash for tips and enjoy the South African hospitality.
It was a varied trip. Our guide Marco Olivier was very switched on and knowledgeable. He was calm, very helpful and sensitive to the locals, the environment and of course us. He seemed to know a lot of people on the ground and always clearly explained the next day’s itinerary clearly the evening before. He was also good fun. The group got on very well and supported each other from day 1. The food was plenty and good, the weather was good and we saw and did so much.
Hard to choose from a trip that showed us so much but i would say the game drives at Addo elephant park and the afternoon/evening safaris and braai at Schotia private game reserve were fantastic and the main highlight. Lots of swimming in the sea was an unexpected bonus.
In a word, Excellent. Very attentive, polite, respectful, switched on, very clear with instructions. Good overall knowledge of the history, environment, flora/fauna. Cannot fault him.
Really well organised trip , good range of activities on it
The safari was fab - both the addo elephants and the extra safari, guides so good at spotting everything Tisioto national park fabulous and the coastal s energy and walks
Marco was fantastic the whole time, always felt safe with him, he was incredibly informative, funny, thoughtful and helpful. He went out of his way to make sure we all got the maximum out of the trip, nothing was too much trouble for him and he was a very safe driver
Just fantastic from start to finish. Booking, range of activities, knowledge of tour guide and accommodation we stayed in.
Where to start - safari, hermanus and the group I travelled with and the tour guide
Couldn’t have asked for a better leader. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about his home country. He created a fun environment for everyone and made time to get to know everyone in the group. He made sure everyone was looked after and went out of his way to ensure we had the best holiday
Meeting fellow travellers and Marco, our guide. Marco made this trip complete. The accommodation was excellent and staff couldn’t do enough to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The trip went beyond my expectations.
There were so many highlights on this trip. Every day was mind blowing. Would recommend Robben Island. We were shown round by an ex inmate, thought provoking and a sobering reminder of South Africa's distant past. Dolphin watching at Camps Bay sat on the rocks with a coffee. Walking the coastal path at Hermanus (return journey). Zip wire was a thrill. Every corner of the journey brought some wonderful scenery.
Marco was very professional, informative, kind, thoughtful and passionate about his country. He kept us safe and thought about everything. He is extremely knowledgeable about geography, history, floral and fauna and the political situation in South Africa. A very competent and safe driver. Marco always went that extra mile and went beyond his call of duty. Marco made our trip and the whole group loved him to bits. Exodus are very lucky to have him on board.
We had a fantastic guide, really good accommodation and excellent tours.
There were so many highlights. We enjoyed the elephant Park followed by the optional Safari. I enjoyed swimming in a tidal pool as well as a waterfall pool. Feeding the ostriches will keep me laughing for a long time. We had sea views in two hotels, which was Just great. The exchange rate made our money go a long way so we did some things that we might have found too expensive in another country.
Marco needs an award for the best tour leader. He was always punctual, informative, helpful, polite and an all-round fantastic human being.
