Nice trip along southern and eastern coast of South Africa 2 Julie, Australia, Mar 2025
The scenery was amazing. The safaris were brilliant and we were lucky to experience a wide variety of animals in the wild, a lot very close. The standard of hotels was good, some locations not great. Food was great. We had a great group of people and lucky to only have 12. I wish more trips were limited to 12 people. One hotel in particular was in read more the middle of nowhere and I wished we could have stayed in the city in Eswatini so that we had the opportunity to wander around in our free time and mix with the locals.
This trip lacked the opportunity for me to understand and mix with local people other than hotel staff and guides. Whilst I understand the need for advising passengers of safety, not everyone in South Africa is a criminal. There needs to be interaction with locals incorporated into the main itinerary and options. Not just the touristy shopping stops along the way. The Zimbabwe section was not continued with same guide and the travel company that were supposed to be looking after the group did not do that!

The scenery on the coast was fantastic, we did enjoy it and the safari tour was good. We had a good mix in our group and the tour guide was very good at explaining the things related to each particular place that we were going through.
Wonderful tour of South Africa 4 Chris & Leon , VIC , Australia, Jun 2019
Our South Africa tour was amazing due to the nature and beauty as we travelled along the coastal route departing from Cape Town. We really enjoyed every day of the trip, sightseeing, a good pace, hotels are very satisfactory and the people we met were friendly. Our tour director, Taki Christoulou, was very knowledgeable and very helpful. This trip is read more the third time that we went on a Cosmos tour. We have also recommended our friends take a South Africa tour with Cosmos.
Great trip! 4 Robyn, QLD, Australia, May 2019
Only negative was that although gratuities were pre-paid, this only covered 14 days & not the 17 day extension tour. Had to pay extra gratuities to tour guide/driver for these 3 days as different to original driver/guide.
South Africa - So Many Highlights 6 Jeff & Dee, ACT, Australia, May 2018
We considered we had value for money on this trip. In a small group of 20 we soon became a close knit group making the experience so much better. Coaches very comfortable and so too the selected accommodation. Variety, quality and quantity of meals good. A lovely Tour Director Wendy.
We enjoyed some of the wonderful sites and attractions of South read more Africa at a leisurely pace. There were so many highlights one has difficulty in identifying one real stand out. Table Mountain, Cape of Good hope, Garden Route, Cango Caves, Ostrich Farm, Shakaland, Hluhluwe and Kruger game parks and Victoria Falls - to name just a few.
We managed to see the big four just missing out on the Leopard. Although others in our group where lucky. If you are after an inexpensive tour take a close look at this. You might like to look close at time of year if you wish to see the blooms.
