Detourafrica Reviews

Best De tour

Detour Africa arranged the most wonderful Kruger experience for me James helped customise an off the shelf trip into my own Super fast email responses and very helpful

Wonderfull 3-day Sossusvlei trip

It started with the very pleasant email exchange I had with James Because of the uncertain of my daughters business trip plans I wasn t sure whether to return to Windhoek or take the shuttle to Swakopmund James was very understanding and ultimately was able to book only a few days before departure The trip itself was well organised and a great experience The lodge I stayed in The Namib Desert Lodge is a very nice lodge with Oryx right in front of my room As an excursion I did a dune ride combined with a wonderfull sundowner As a big surprise we stopped at a lookout and there was a table set and out came a big cooler with an assortment of drinks and snacks Guide Maria was great Friendly and knowledgeable Next day early in the morning we left for Sossusvlei We arrived at 06 30am at the gate and were at the amazing Big Daddy dune well in time to go up Guide Steven pointed out the easiest way to start to avoid a long climb at the beginning Unfortunately we had only 2 hours so I couldn t make it to the very top But it was already impressive as it was Finally we went to the Sesriem gorge Nice to be there and take it in but not so impressive All in all a well organised and unforgettable experience Will certainly book with Detour Africa again should the occasion arise

ReviewersWhen planning to visit South Africa for the first time I contacted several companies to arrange trips Louise at Detour Africa replied promptly to my query whereas some companies took ages to reply The organisation of our itinerary was excellent and her advice was invaluable even regarding the weather etc We took 4 different trips and each was superb When we did experience a problem not the fault of Detour Louise resolved it promptly and throughout the visit she was on hand to help The cost of the tours was similar to other companies and the quality of each one was excellent All the guides were knowledgeable and extremely helpful I would recommend Detour Africa unreservedly The company is very professional and the service is exemplary Thank you for helping to make our trip such a wonderful experience We will certainly use your company again when we return to Africa

Wonderful experience

I had a fantastic experience with this travel agency Their communication is excellent especially the travel agent Elana She s always available to answer questions patient and provides all the necessary information She gives you the best advice and recommendations that meet your needs We all felt safe during the tour and they have great customer service Highly recommend

Great service

We booked a 12 day South Africa itinerary visiting both the greater Kruger National Park and the Garden route The service provided by Detour s James Adams was great He made sure everything was accounted for and our trip went smoothly

South Africa and Namibia

We had two long tours to Kruger National Park and Namibia and two day tours Johannesburg and Cape town as well Everything was well organised and our manager James Adams was really friendly and helpful Moreover we had Cape Town Day tour with him and he is really good as a guide too Thanks for everything and see you next time

Windhoek to Victoria Falls safari

James was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in booking my tour He responded quickly to all my questions The tour itself was amazing We had 3 guides including the driver JoJo Calisto and Lynn They were extremely hard working Calisto handled long days of driving well and was always smiling They all made sure we were comfortable and happy The food was good The game drives were great The only negative was the vehicle became hot in the hot weather

5 day Garden Route Tour

I booked this tour via Elana Black who was very helpful from the start and answered all of my questions efficiently and quickly despite being a 8-9 hour time difference as I am in Australia The tour itself was amazing all the guest houses I stayed at were clean and comfortable We had to change our driver guide on day 2 as our original one had a family emergency The tour was well run and we had a variety of options to do too I will be booking any future Africa tours via Detour
