Wonderful tour of South Africa 1 , 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.
Wonderful South Africa and Victoria Falls tour   1 , VIC, Australia, Jun 2019
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.
Great trip! 2 , 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 4 , 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.
