Good times - Really fun tour, Chris was a great guide, full of interesting information and always pointing out neat stuff on the way. Made a big effort to accommodate everyone on the tour where possible, but kept the schedule running on time.

Ex South African doing the garden route - Christopher made the experience pleasant. Its much better going with Chris than going by ourselves. We've been travelling for nearly 4 months now and prev guided ourselves. This guided tour I found far superior than our self guided travel. My advice is go with Chris and get the maximum out of your experience.

A fantastic experience with Vaughan - I really loved this 4 days. The itinerary was perfect: so many things to see and do in only four days: cave, safari, so many beautiful natural spots…. A very good way to see a good stretch of South Africa! I felt relaxed and safe and still saw and did so much… our guide was Vaughan and he was so nice, knowledgeable and funny. Really sweet, thanks a lot! For the accommodation: I opted for the dormitory and actually, it was the more luxury choice. Because the guest house in Tsitsikamma is not the best (we ate there and saw where our colleagues from the tour stayed): the hostel in Tsitsikamma is very very nice with a big pool and several hot pools- better and cheaper. But just a side note! All in all: GO! So worth the money!

Excellent guide/trip - Vaughan was an excellent guide. He had a nice balance of providing information and letting g us observe on our own. He was willing to answer our questions and was very knowledgeable. I appreciated that he provided us with options since we were a small group; we were able to enjoy more additional activities that really enriched our trip. Overall, the trip was the perfect amount of time and gave me a good impression on the southern part of the country.

Excellent and great value - Our guide Muwande was amazing ! He was Very Informed and a pleasure to spend 4 days with . We recommend the garden route in the winter - great weather and fewer passengers ! Our van only had 5 people so it was very comfortable and a balanced group. The stops on the garden route were short but just enuf to get the feel and views . The accommodations were CLEAN and most were really cute and authentic . Bok Bus communicated well throughout the entire booking and scheduling Would recommend for people who are looking for a great value .

Awesome garden route experience with Mawande - The tour was awesome, made particularly special by the tour guide Mawande, who had so much knowledge about the history, politics and geography of the beautiful garden route. The nature on the route was absolutely stunning and the experiences involved were extraordinary, particularly the garden route safari. All of the accomodation and meals were amazing and couldn’t more highly recommend this tour. It exceeded my expectations greatly and is well and truly worth the money.

Incredible scenery, great knowledge and communication, very well organised - The tour was very well put together and ticks off the essential parts of the Garden Route along the way. Our guide Mawande was extremely well informed and provided valuable information about different places as we passed through or arrived at them. His knowledge was incredibly vast and was able to answer any questions we had about where we were going and also South Africa as a whole which was extremely handy so early in our stay. The Garden Route Game Lodge was a real highlight, the lodge is brilliant and meals are all provided - and this is only one of the stops. Overall communication before and during the tour was excellent and I can’t thank Mawande enough for providing such an amazing experience for the start of my first visit to the area!

Wonderful Fast Amazing Adventure - A truly amazing Garden Route Adventure & Safari experience. We saw so many fascinating interesting things and met some incredible people along the way. Visiting Cape Town has always been on our to do list and then we came across BokBus Garden Route Adventure Tour on TripAdvisor, they have so many fantastic reviews so we decided to give it a try to coincide with our visit to Cape Town. Mawande was our solo guide & driver for 4 days, he made everything awesome. We learned so much about SA from him all thanks to his knowledge and planning. Hint, expect to see everything listed on the TripAdvisor itinerary and more. All the restaurants & meals we ate were really good and exceeded our expectations. Here are some of the highlights from the tour, Cango Cave was actually really cool, the Garden Route drive was beautiful, the penguins, the Safari experience, plus Mawande took us to places that only local people know. Needless to say, we took some really great photosand had the best memories on this trip. All the accommodations we stayed at were clean and functional, we felt 100% safe the entire time. All in all, Mawande is a fantastic host and guide, he is a true Ambassador for South Africa. We 100% recommend BokBus.
