Wonderful tour - I booked a private tour for a trip in South Africa and had a Garden Route tour with Steph from Earthstompers Adventures. It was an excellent trip. We had exciting surprises every day. Steph is very nice and thoughtful. All three travelers in our group are seniors. Steph took good care of us. We had a wonderful 5 days with her. All the places she took us and the activities she arranged were excellent. All accommodations are super. Thank you very much, Steph! I would highly recommend Earthstompers Adventures.

Amazing! - 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.

Very enjoyable trip getting to see and do so much - 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

Gorgeous Garden Route - 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!
