Discover South Africa's Garden Route
Very enjoyable trip and we learned a great deal. Having a knowledgable local guide is great.
Very clear information, very good guides, good hotels and sensible use of time.
Discover South Africa's Garden Route
Our tour guide, Malik, and driver, Mr Henzel, were brilliant. We enjoyed the itinerary although we added a second game drive before we left because we thought a bit more of the game reserves was desirable. Malik made those arrangements for us. He was continually looking for ways to make everyone happy.
Most Inspirational Moment
Table Mountain, the penguins, the game drive, lunch on the waterfront in Hermanus, the boat ride and nature hike in Knysna, Tsitsikama, the botanical garden walk.
Thoughts on Group Leader
He went above and beyond expectations. Was well liked by everyone in the group. Had invaluable local knowledge. Everyone was impressed with how he handled the road flooding situation. He was calm and got us all to safety, made sure we were able to get dinner and got us into a charming hotel.
The Ultimate Scenic Road Trip!
As an Exodus Employee, this entire trip was a fantastic experience. From seeing one of the best cities in the world, to seeing the changing vegetation, wilderness and wildlife, its understandable to why this is such a sought after area to see in South Africa.

The best was definitely the meerkat safari. Waking up at 5am may not be for everyone, but getting to see and visit the wonderful meerkat family after a coffee and rusk with an incredible sunrise was a bucket list experience for the books!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Malik was absolutely fantastic. He really delivered world-class service and showed how Exodus go above and beyond for their customers. He was also extremely quick thinking, thoughtful and always made sure the bus was laughing.

This exceeded all my expectations especially thanks to the group leader.

Highlights were the surprise elements of the trip that our excellent tour leader Malik planned - for example to show us the best wine estate and tastings taking into account our group’s specific interests and wishes.
Thoughts on Group Leader
My flight was significantly delayed and on arrival at the hotel, having not slept much, Malik was a very welcome face! He adapted the first day’s morning schedule to wait for me to arrive from the airport so I could join the group who had already had met the evening before and shared dinner together. This made me feel very welcome and helped my swift integration into the group (I would have missed the whole first day otherwise). Throughout the first day he was especially attentive as he knew I was a little sleep deprived! The tone was set for the rest of the trip - Malik was able to adapt to all circumstances and read the group dynamic seamlessly. His excellent local acknowledge gave us a valuable insight into life in South Africa, organisational and communication skills, kindness, boundless energy, great sense of humour and unwavering professionalism made it a holiday to remember.

Very well organised and varied, interesting itinerary. The guide, Malik, was exceptional. Energetic, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He was always looking out for the group, giving us suggestions and choices and adapting things as necessary. His colleague, Nicole, was a great enhancement to the group; Also great fun, helpful and a mine of information, especially about the wildlife.
Most Inspirational Moment
There were so many it's hard to specify. The scenery around the Cape and coastal regions along the Garden Route, was spectacular. The food was very good throughout. The De Opstal Country Lodge was particularly memorable for it's welcome, style and setting and the meerkats were an absolute delight!
Thoughts on Group Leader
We had complete confidence in him throughout the trip. He really looked after us all.
