We made a 4 days tour including a full day panorama road (Blyde River canyon) and safari in Kruger + private game reserve. First of all, Riana is amazing. She is helpful, she knows a lot about South African history, about animals. And then, the program was great and above our expectations. I would definitely recommend to let her schedule your tour in order to have a great experience. Aurelie…

My wife and I were extremely happy with our decision to book a tour to Swaziland, Kruger and the Panorama Route with Touring South Africa(TSA). In fact, after contacting them with a rather disjointed idea of what we wanted to do, Riana from TSA went out of her way to provide details of different options that were available to us, based on her extensive experience. Our tour began, as we were met at the airport by Peter and we spent the next 4 wonderful days together, driving through Swaziland and South Africa. Peter was very informative and considerate to our needs and ensured that we were provided with excellent food and accommodation along the way. The highlight of the trip was the day spent in Kruger National Park, which was an absolutely magical experience. Both my wife and I are extremely grateful to Riana and Peter for arranging and making our trip so worthwhile and we hope to travel with them again sometime in the near future.…

We did several day-trips with Peter: Maropeng, Soweto and Apartheid museum, Pilanesberg National Park, and Pretoria. The trip to Maropeng included going through the interestingly set 'trip back in time' and discovering the details of what it takes to be human. The latest discoveries from the Rising Star caves about Homo naledi are on exhibition. Extremely informative, you will want to spend there more time than you have. Nearby is the Sterkfontein caves where you have to wear a helmet and crouch through the low passes. Nothing seriously demanding. It's a rather nice experience instead. The tour of Soweto included the orientation behind the townships, Soweto uprising, and Mandela family house. The visit to Kliptown Youth Program was the star of the tour, where you can see the poverty from one side, and opportunities created by the citizens themselves. It was touching to hear the KYP volunteer thanking Peter for the publicity given by bringing tourists to KYP. The Apartheid museum is amazing, leave some extra time for it. Pilanesberg is interestingly set on hilly landscape, unlike many other national parks in the African savanna. It's also quite smaller than other parks, thus more manageable in a day trip and gives higher chances that you will meet all Big Five. It was great that Peter volunteered for an afternoon drive in the park, which increased the chances of seeing animals that were resting/hiding in the heat of the day. We met 4 of the Big Five that day, and set a new record after seeing 20 rhinos. The highlight was the family of elephants bathing in front of the Magistrate's Court (now restaurant). Tour of Pretoria was also interesting, with all the background information needed to know to understand the sculptures of the Voortrekker Monument and the highlights of Union Buildings and the Melrose House. While driving, Peter was able to provide background information for the site we we visiting. He was well-read and able to answer all our questions, amazingly covering diverse sectors of South African background: wildlife, habitat, geology, sociology, history and more. Peter and Riana have the right balance between professionalism and friendliness. I couldn't recommend them more!…
