5-daagse Garden Route & Addo Adventure van Kaapstad naar Port Elizabeth
Beschrijving
Ik ken nergens anders ter wereld, waar je zulk een divers aanbod in een korte tijd kunt ervaren. Tijdens onze 5-daagse tours kunnen gasten twee oceanen, bergketens, een halfwoestijn zien, deelnemen aan haaienduiken, walvissen kijken of bungeejumpen, om nog maar te zwijgen van het zien van spectaculaire Afrikaanse dieren in een nationaal park! We slagen erin dat alles in te passen tegen een betaalbare prijs! Onze gidsen zijn geboren in Zuid-Afrika en hebben een passie voor mensen en reizen. De vestigingen die we ondersteunen zijn lokaal eigendom en de eigenaar wordt gerund. Last but not least, het eten dat we op tour geven is heerlijk lokaal en traditioneel. We bieden een uitstekende service, van het ontvangen van de boeking tot en met het wegbrengen van de laatste dag van de tour.

The whole trip was very carefully planned. We stayed in various types of accommodations, near the beach, farms, etc. Christine was an amazing guide. She showed us the best spots along the route. All the hosting places were amazing as well with their hospitality and delicious food. I would highly recommend this to anyone planning a trip to South Africa.
We had a fantastic trip. The scenery, stops and accommodation were excellent. Our guide, Gareth, was informative, fun and really ensured everyone had a great time. We really enjoyed being with the other travellers and made some great friends. We would warmly recommend this trip. Do not miss the optional Addo Elephant safari!
To be fair, the agency's communication was quite good — responsive and clear. The guide, however, wasn't really a good fit for us. He talked constantly throughout the trip, even when there wasn't much to say. We tried to politely hint that we needed some quiet time, and even gently asked if he could lower the talking a little, but it didn't seem to help. I think he meant well, but it just felt like he wasn't picking up on our cues. The experience ended up being more tiring than relaxing. Overall, the agency seems fine, but I'd suggest requesting a different guide if you're someone who prefers a quieter, more laid-back tour
Dear Guest, Good evening, and thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on your Earthstompers experience. We really appreciate your kind comments about our team’s communication and responsiveness. It is something we place allot of focus on, and the team works hard to ensure everything runs smoothly before, during, and after each tour. As a small family-run business, we take all reviews seriously and to heart. Our team and guides was naturally disappointed to read your comment about the guide talking too much, and that this impacted your overall experience. We place a strong focus on guide education and training, and we are proud to work with guides who are not only qualified and experienced, but who also have a genuine passion for South Africa, its people, and what they do. For most of our guests, the guiding and storytelling is a real highlight of the tour. A guide’s role is to share the history of the areas visited, offer insight into South Africa’s people, culture, wildlife, and landscapes, and to keep guests informed about the day’s plans, travel times, and logistics. On group tours, they also need to balance the needs of the entire group and ensure that everyone feels comfortable and well looked after. That said, we are sure you are right and it was never your guide’s intention to overwhelm you or talk to much. We also understand that preferences can differ from one guest to the next. For guests who prefer a different experience or minimal guiding this can be requested, we do offer private tours, or we can arrange transport-only options where appropriate. We are sorry that this aspect of the experience did not meet your expectations. Thank you for supporting our family business, your travels really do make a difference in South Africa. By travelling with us, you contribute in a meaningful way to the places we visit, from national park fees that support conservation, to local communities through our community contribution, as well as the small businesses we work with and visit along the way.

Just got back from an amazing group trip with Earthstompers and I can’t recommend it enough! Everything was well organized, and the experience was made even better by our fantastic guide Christine —knowledgeable, friendly, bubbly, fun and always going the extra mile to make sure everyone was having a great time and taking tons of great photos for us along the way. The whole group vibe was positive and fun, and we made some unforgettable memories along the way. I’d definitely do it all over again!
Good Morning Kerstina Thanks so much for your kind words and beautiful review and for recommending Earthstompers & our Garden Route & Addo group tour! We so happy that you enjoyed your guide Christine. "........knowledgeable, friendly, bubbly, fun and always going the extra mile........." - Your summary of Christine is spot on. So much energy and love for South Africa. We are truly blessed to have her as part of our amazing team of guides. Will pass on your kind words. I'm also glad you had a great group with positive vibes. We get some wonderful, fun like minded guests on our tours which is also a highlight. “I’d definitely do it all over again!” — we’d love to welcome you back anytime. Many of our guests return, often bringing along friends or family to share the experience again. Others come back a few years later to explore something new with us, whether that’s a private tour or a tailor-made luxury safari or Southern African holiday. We’re always on the road, discovering and refining new experiences, so there’s always something fresh waiting for our returning guests. Thank you supporting our family business. Greetings from Cape Town Hendrik
An absolutely stunning 5-day tour along the Garden Route! Christine as our tour guide was simply exceptional – her knowledge of South Africa's culture, history, and nature elevated our trip to a whole new level. She didn't just show us the landscape, she truly brought it to life. Special requests, such as a photo at the Plettenberg town sign – no problem: Christine found a solution. The entire Earthstompers team impressed us with perfect organization and warm hospitality at all times. The accommodations (guesthouses) were consistently comfortable, charming, and thoughtfully chosen, perfectly suited to each region. Anyone wanting to experience South Africa's Garden Route authentically and profoundly is in the best hands with Earthstompers. Highly recommended! Baie dankie Earthstompers.
Hello, Wow, thank you for the exceptional review! We're thrilled that you had a great tour along the Garden Route & Addo with us and our guide, Christine. She is amazing at what she does and it's evident that she truly loves showing off South Africa to our guests from all over the world. I've also shared your positive notes with our office team who appreciate it very much, working hard 'behind the scenes' to make sure all our tours run as smoothly as possible. We love what we do and feedback like yours means everything to us. Thank you for taking the time to write a review and for supporting our family business. We hope to welcome you back one day and show you some more of our awesome country and contintent. Safe Travels, Cindy & the Earthstompers team
Christine is a great and very friendly tour guide. She always provided us with travel information and other interesting facts at the right time. She responded very well to the individual needs of the individual participants. The itinerary is very nice and the program varied. This also applies to the accommodations chosen. Unfortunately we were only quite late (after 18:00) in Sedgefield so we could not really enjoy the beautiful pool in the property and the beach. We would have liked to have arrived earlier.
Christine is passionate about her job, and she does the best to make everyone feel comfortable and enjoyable. The tour is very complete, everyday is different and the pase is good. The different activities, visits and accomodations are top!! I recommend 100% this tour and meeting Christine, a local who knows perfectly every spot you will visit! Christine, thank you so much for being such a good person! Wish you the best!
Hello this tour is awesome for people who are seeking to see the most of the garden route in little time. Earthstompers were so organized, responsive and professional. Itinerary was perfectly traced and we always stopped by / slept / ate at very nice adresses. You will finish up this tour having a full belly and a head filled with wonderful memories. Our guide (Christine), was so passionate about what she was doing, always on time, and very precise and concise while giving information. We felt good and comfortable with her during all the journey. This tour is clearly beyond expectations, value for money is astonishing. Totally recommend it. Hassan & Clara =)

It would be impossible to explain how amazing this was and the very first mention must go to EarthStompers and Nicole for arranging, our itinerary but then to the WONDERFUL Rochelle who was our guide throughout. I cannot stress how incredible she was. She made our experience so much more special and we were really sad to say goodbye to her at the end of our trip. So we were picked up from Cape Town by the smiling Rochelle and taken to our first accommodation and she made sure we were booked in and gave us some suggestions for our first night which proved to be spot on and then met us as we finished breakfast the following morning. What was apparent really quick was the way she would ask us if there was anything in particular we would like doing on the way to our next accommodation, and then as we did not have anything to mind, just made some suggestions which turned out to be brilliant visiting a vineyard with some wine tasting at the most beautiful place on the way to Stellenbosch. She was then on the phone checking what time we could check in and timed it beautifully with a little drive round showing us the place, and then suggestions for some nice places to eat, and then getting us checked in. The following morning, Rochelle was there to make sure we were okay and checked out and then we moved onto our next accommodation, and once again perfect suggestions made with some nice stops at places we would simply not have known about or gone to without her knowledge and experience, and then for our next accommodation at a resort called Lanzerac, had called ahead and booked us on a Wine Tour and tasting and as was her way got us there and booked in just in time . This become a common theme as Rochelle would make these stops so that we could experience the sheer beauty of the Garden Route, and her knowledge and passion of South Africa shone through. So off we went to Outsdhoorn for an incredible experience and so unique, and a long drive after that to Wilderness, through the most beautiful mountains with the best viewing spots, and then Kynsna where we stayed two nights and the wonderful Rochelle even joined us on doing the Park Run, and then Zip Lining. We also hiked at Tsitsikamma National Park, and after Knysna moved onto Port Elizabeth for out flight to Durban and again Rochelle planned it all so we got there in plenty of time. There is no way in my opinion you should try and do this yourself. You should pay for a guide, at this wonderful company and if you are fortunate you may get Rochelle, but I am sure that they are all good. THANKYOU Rochelle, we had the best time, we had the best guide, we hated saying goodbye, and you made our celebration and my bucket list tour of the Garden Route that much more special. You were simply amazing.
Good Morning Edward and Dawn, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review following your 8-Day Cape Town, Winelands & Garden Route private tour. I personally love combining these 3 regions into one tour. We’re delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful experience with Rochelle and that your tour was so well organized by Nicole and the office team. We feel incredibly fortunate to have such an amazing team. Nicole first joined Earthstompers as a freelance guide back in 2010 and has since grown into our Lead Private Tour Consultant. Her guiding background is a real asset in the office having travelled extensively herself, she brings first-hand knowledge and genuine expertise when designing and customizing itineraries for our guests. Rochelle, meanwhile, has been guiding with us along the Garden Route for more than 10 years. Her experience on the road, combined with Nicole’s thoughtful itinerary planning, truly makes for a winning combination. Thank you again for travelling with us and for supporting our family business! Thank you also for sharing your experience it means a great deal to our whole team to read your beautiful review. Warm regards from Cape Town, Hendrik & The Earthstompers Team

Our office team, together with your guide, work incredibly hard behind the scenes to plan every aspect of each tour, so thank you for recognizing that.

We really appreciate you supporting our family business. Safe Travels Hendrik - Owner - Earthstompers Adventures.
