A Garden Route treat - It was such an awesome trip. Highlights for me were the Canga caves with a guide who sang so beautifully in the darkened cave. It was so precious. Another highlight was Addo elephant park, and the Garden Route safari lodge. I could have stayed longer!!! The ranger was very knowledgeable. He tracked a cheetah mother with her 3 cubs- indescribably moving. Of course, our wonderful, one of a kind driver Vaughan, went beyond the call of duty. He was funny, kind, helpful , a well of knowledge , and an amazing driver. I felt very safe with him in the driving seat. Thank you Vaughan!!

I had the best time ever!!! - The mountains & beach views were so scenic. Our accomodations were awesome & unique in their own way! Seeing wildlife along the way, especially the Babboons. Our Tour Guide Mawande was knowledgeable & fun to be with during our trip. He was lucky to have found a little snake crawling in his bedside. Glad it was him & not us! It was a trip of my lifetime & checked off my bucket list. Seeing amazing wildlife animals on our Game drives was my highlite.

Garden route with Mawande - We had a truly amazing experience with Mawande. Everything was perfectly planned out, we slept at amazing locations and did the most amazing activities. For me the adoo elephant park might have been the most beautiful sight i've seen in my life. Except for the wide variety in wild life the park has it also harbours an extremely large amount of elefants. Watching them all play together in the mud was such a beautiful sight to see. In the adoo park and other safari's we did (game lodge) we saw Rhino's, lions, hippo's , cheeta's, baby cheeta's, baboons, a wide range of antilopes and much more. Except for wildlife we also visited some very beautiful towns and sceneries. However, what really made the experience was Mawande. He was an absolutely excellent guide. You really made our trip Mawande, thank you !

An excellent trip not to be missed! - My cousin and I were joined by a lovely Italian family of four for an unforgettable 5 day Bok Bus tour on South Africa's Garden Route. Our knowledgeable and experienced tour guide, Mawande, made sure both parties saw what they wanted to see. We were very impressed by his attention to detail and making sure the trip ran smoothly. A highly recommended experience!

A Bok Bus package tour is the best way to experience the most in a few days - We recently made a five day Garden route tour which was absolutely amazing. I made a similar great tour with Bok Bus 2006 on my own, and when I now a second time 2024 made it as a couple, the tour had been developed and was even better. I have found that a package tour with Bok Bus is a fantastic way of experiencing South Africa and getting most out of each travel day. It is much better than driving on your own. Trying to find your way to attractions, best viewing points, good restaurants and accommodation is time consuming and will end up being more expensive. Having your own private guide saves a lot of time and energy. You can relax and enjoy without thinking about the best route, where it is safe to go etc., and you learn more about the country than driving on you own. Our experienced driver and guide Chris had a long interesting lecture about South Africa’s history during the first day’s driving time. During the tour he continuously told about society, people, nature, plants and animals. He was very caring, not driving too long time without stop, and knew exactly where to make breaks for the best coffee or lunch quality. I can highly recommend a Bok Bus package tour for the company’s quality, reliability and service orientation. A very good choice for young people and all ages, regardless if you travel on your own, as a couple or a group. /Per P., Sweden/

Best travel experience in my life! - I would highly recommend Bok Bus 5 Day Garden Route Tour because of the following: an excellent Tour Guide named Chris! His deep knowledge about visited targets, overall background picture of interesting people connected to the area lifted the trip experience to higher grounds! Everything well told and with a good portion of humour! Amazing views of a beautiful, green landscape with highest mountains, cliffs on one side and the lively bluegreen ocean on the other. So beautiful! Hiking at Storms River was a real highlight as well as a visit to Cangoo Caves. The most unforgettable memory was an unprepared encounter with an upset elephant in Addo Elephant Park! Thanks to our great driver and guide Chris everything felt safe and good! There was even time for flexibility in the program so we could visit Monkeyland and Birds of Eden. Great places both of them! Fresh restrooms was well planned and time organized along the tour. Food and night shelter was great at all stops we made. Fabulous was the meal at Surfers' Restaurant in Jeffrey's Bay as well as the three course dinner at our last stay at Garden Route Lodge. Wonderful tour! 10 out of 10! Would love to do it all over again!

Fun on the 5 day Garden Route - We had a great time staying at a variety of guest houses and a lodge. Our guide Mawande provided friendly commentary and information and got us safely to each destination. We particularly liked the Garden Route Game Lodge where we saw Rhino, Buffalo, Lion, a variety of birds and of particular note a cheetah with it's kill, a springbok. 5 days goes really quickly, too quickly when your having fun.

Great Garden Route experience with a local - We did the 5 Day Garden Route Tour to explore more of beautiful South Africa. Our guide Mawande made this trip unforgettable. He knows so much about the country, it's history and the people. As we were a small group he adapted to our individual preferences throughout the day and gave lots of recommendations for what to do at each place. He knows the best spots! Our highlights were the Garden Route Game Drives, the Ostrich farm and the beautiful beach at Jeffreys Bay. For anyone who wants to experience a lot in a short amount of time, this is your trip!

Shame about the pool - A lovely place to visit. The chalets were well-equipped, clean and nice and cool with a lovely balcony. The restaurant is decent and serves good food and wine. The most frustrating this is how the pool area has been neglected. It is actually a nice pool but the surrounding grass areas are not tended, barren patches and uncut grass even round the pool edge. If the ground was levelled (currently on slopes) it would be an easy remedy. There is also little shade and about 3 sun loungers, not easy for several families that visited when we were there. What they really need is someone to properly manage the pool (not leave a hose on all day to irrigate which just runs down the slope and creates a swamp!) Some nice parasols and better sun loungers too would be nice.
