Agnes was instrumental in planning and making our group tour of 20. Out of our hotel in Durban, South Africa, we went on a day trip to Lesotho, which was incredible. We then spent 4 days on safari at Rhino Ridge in the Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park, phenomenal! On our way back to Durban we visited Lake St. Lucia to see crocks and hippos.

Agnes was a wonderful source of local information and she was there to make sure that everything went smoothly and we made all our connections. She is highly recommended!

Thank you so much for your review. I had such a great time taking you to Soweto on Heritage day and you could experience the different cultures. Then the next day to Pilanesberg is always one of my favorite places to visit.

Ginny and I used Agnes Prinsloo and Felleng Tours in the past prior to the Covid pandemic to arrange unique tours for both large groups of 20 or so people as well as for personalized journeys for just the two of us. She has never failed to deliver and delight with great ideas and recommendations in addition to attentive service and attention to details to make our travel in Southern Africa unforgettable and worry-free. On this last trip she arranged for all the details for a group of 20 travelers, including 6 children aged 6-14, to stay overnight in Durban, rent vans to travel to the Drakensberg for a week, summit the Sani Pass, experience 3 nights at a luxury safari lodge, cruise on Lake Saint Lucia with hippos and crocodiles, and then travel on to separate destinations in South Africa. Everyone felt that she was a member of the group and also that she cared for them and their needs like family. She then arranged for Ginny and me to have a memorable trip extension to the Phinda Mountain Lodge. We recommend Agnes and Felleng Tours without reservation and look forward to working with her again.

Thank you to Agnes for this incredible insight into Soweto and Kliptown and the Apartheid museum. I took this tour with my adult children after many years away from South Africa and it was touching to have them experience life in South Africa as it is lived outside the tourist attractions. I highly recommend this group to anyone who wants a refreshing and authentic insight into any aspect of South Africa

Where to begin! Agnes at Felleng Tours was the most amazing guide and host. From my initial contact to the end of our tour, we thoroughly enjoyed everything. Agnes picked us up at our hotel and took us on our private tour to Soweto, Mandela house and the Apartheid Museum. Agnes' experience and knowledge made our tour so enjoyable. It didn't take long for us to notice how well respected Agnes is in the community. She is wonderfully kind and we felt that we had made a friend. A top-notch experience and one that we will not forget. I highly recommend Agnes and Felleng Tours. You will not be disappointed and the knowledge you take away is immeasurable. Thank you Agnes, you are one of a kind!

I cannot say enough nice things about Agnes Prinsloo and her company Felling Tours! My fiancée and I spent a couple of days in Johannesburg before embarking on a safari in Botswana, and we were looking for someone to take us on private tours to Soweto, Mandela house, the Apartheid Museum, Sterkfontein caves, and Maropeng. We found Agnes, and we are so very happy that we did! I corresponded with her many times before we left the U.S., and she was always immediately responsive with suggestions and planning. After we arrived she met us at our hotel and drove us to all of the sights that we wanted to see over 2 days, and was the most wonderful guide and host! She is well known throughout the area, very knowledgeable, amazingly friendly, and an interesting conversationalist. We couldn't have asked for more. We were welcomed with open arms everywhere we went, and were extended many courtesies and acts of kindness, in large part because of her presence. Very high recommendations for Agnes and Felling! She will make you feel right at home in Johannesburg and the surrounding areas.

Dear Wanderingforlife Thank you so much for the amazing review. I appreciate it so much. After 2 years not guiding it was so nice to take you and your fiancée around and show you the places that you wanted to see. It gave me the courage again to keep going with what I love to do. Thank you again.

We knew Rudie from our first trip to South Africa that was so perfectly organised that we did not have any doubts to whom we should write and ask about organisation of our Tanzanian safari. Of course everything was great! And it is in spite of many complications those bring us today’s Covid-19. Agnes helped us with contacts in Tanzania and I must openly say that all people whom we met were so great! Starting from Zanzibar hotels and finishing our final drive to the airport. It means a lot when everybody tries to help in different cases and shows respect to the organisers. We thank you, Agnes, very much and we will definitely ask you to help us with the next African trip.

Felling tours set up a 10, day package for me that included 2 days in stone town and 8 day at a beach resort. this included pick up and drop off at airports and some meals included also. Everything was just as it was offered . all the pickups and drop offs worked smoothly. The resorts the had booked were excellent and and well situated to do exploring around the area. as I was travelling alone , this made my trip completely stress free and relaxing. Well done Rudie and Agnes thank you very much!!

Rudie and Agnes of Felleng Tours organized a bucket list trip for us. We had no idea where or how to start planning the trip until I emailed Rudie. We travelled from Los Angeles to Victoria Falls to Kruger National Park to a Soweto Tour. Every detail was meticulously planned. From the many airport pick-ups to an escort across the Zimbabwe/Zambia border to an amazing safari at Thornybush Private Reserve. I highly recommend Felleng Tours to plan any trip in Africa! We will use them again for sure!

Thank you so much for your review Alena. So glad that you enjoyed your trip so much and so glad that you were able to do this before all the flights were cancelled and everything went into a lockdown. Stay safe and healthy and we love you.

We stayed at Rudie and Agnes’ guesthouse for a week in February 2020. Not only did they provide transportation to and from the airport, but we enjoyed their day tours around the Johannesburg area and learned a lot about the history and struggle South Africa went through. We also went to an elephant sanctuary and got up close and personal with the beautiful creatures. They even drove us to Tambuti Lodge in Pilanesberg for a three day safari and came back to pick us up.

The atmosphere was comfortable as if we had been long time friends and we had many delightful conversations with them both. We dined with them in their home in addition to joining them at a local restaurant with friends and family. They were most accommodating to maximize the limited time we had. We had the guesthouse all to ourselves which had lovely accommodations. Overall we would go back and stay with Agnes and Rudie should we find ourselves back in South Africa. Their commitment to our South African vacation exceeded our expectations! We highly recommend Felleng Tours!
