South Africa Tours

Book a Tour to South Africa

Traveling solo on public transport is not really recommended in South Africa and the public transport system isn't really geared towards travelers. Crime and safety is always a top priority in South Africa, you have to be extra careful in places like Johannesburg which have certain no go areas. There is an intercity bus service in South Africa but this can be very unreliable. For these reasons we highly recommend joining adventure tours which are a great way to travel and see as much of this beautiful country as possible.
