My Tour with the Earthstompers Adventures was amazing. Roy was our tour guide, and he was fabulous!! He kept us safe, kept us on agenda, was full of information about the tour and places we were travelling to, and very knowledgeable about everything South African. Plus he was funny, very chill, took photos for the group, and super personable.
As for the tour, this being my first time in South Africa, it was great for showcasing many of the sites and activities available in East and West Cape. The places we stayed in were amazing. The staff, facilities, and food was superb. The food at each place had options available for those with specific dietary needs. Each place we stayed and visited brought a uniqueness to the trip that created memories that I will be taking back home.
The only draw back with tours like this, is having to spend a bit of time in the van driving from location to location… But worth it in the end!
If you are looking for a tour in Cape Town, South Africa, this is the one for you!!

5/5
I sent signed up for the five day option as a fun way to travel from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth. What I didn’t know was that these five days would rank among the highlights of my month in SA.
Wendy is big on personality, and immediately made seven strangers and a family of five feel comfortable together. At the end of five days we were a happy family that was reluctant to part.
The active pace was perfect for our group. Although many of the activities were weather permitting, when an activity could not be done, Wendy found us a fun alternative.
Whether you are considering this trip as part of a larger visit to SA, or as a short trip on its own, you will not be disappointed.

I recently gathered a new travel experience. I was traveling to South Africa with Earthstompers. It was such an exciting and really informative trip. I would like to thank our guide Сhristin and our group for the support. This created a friendly atmosphere during our trip. I was impressed by beautiful landscapes, amazing places, interesting sights, delicious food and good wine. I will never forget these fantastic views and unique tastes. I can wholeheartedly recommend you this company. It is the trip I will cherish forever!

Good to see the best of South Africa in 5 days including whales, penguins, safari, waterfall, beautiful roads, mountains and ocean
This tour is also combined the same type of travellers together, so you will make a lot of friends. We still have group chat even months after tour ended.
In additional, our guide Christine, she is the best. She loves SA and want to share it with travellers. She gave us a lot or unique experience!!

We did 3 separate day trips with Earth Stompers, we emailed to say what we would like to do and they organised the trips for us (with an option to change/add things as we wanted). They emailed to let us know who our guide was going to be, Mark was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, an excellent driver, accommodating to our requests, suggested excellent places to eat and was happy to take family photographs etc.
Would certainly recommend this company, a customer/friend of ours recommended them and we would have not hesitation in passing on recommendations. We are planning to revisit in a couple of years and will be contacting them again to organise some more trips (hopefully with Mark).

I did this tour in September 2023 and can highly recommend it. Everything, really everything, was professionally organized from transport over accommodations and meals to seeing the highlights of the garden route and Addo Elephant Park.
We had Christine as our guide. She is absolutely fabulous, a wonderful person and fun to travel with. Christine gave us lots of insights on people, cultures, points and sites we visited, told us about all sorts of animals, instructed us what to wear and take for our hikes, what to look out for and all that. She always did this with a smile and a catching enthusiasm. We were 24 guests between 23 and 63 years of age, coming from different cultural backgrounds and we were all excited about her. She managed even "special" guests highly professional and the information she provided was always just right, never too much and never too little. For sure, Christine is the guide you want for this tour!
At the end of the 6 days I felt it cannot get better than that. Worth every cent for what you get. Thanks Earthstompers and Christine for the wonderful week there!!

I have travelled extensively across the globe and without doubt this was one the best tours and experiences I have ever had. I travelled with my 14 year old daughter and we have made memories to last a life time The route is perfect! From the splendour of whale watching to swimming in idyllic pools, hiking in indigenous forests and viewing the abundant wildlife. I can't gush enough! We made some amazing friends along the way too. Just book this and don't forget to extend your tour to Kariega you will not regret it. Christine was our guide and you my friend are a legend!

Hi Carey,
Thanks for the lovely review! We're so glad you had such an awesome tour and really happy to hear you enjoyed our Eastern Cape safari add-on at Kariega.
The regions we travel through are breathtakingly beautiful and a perfect match for people who enjoy nature and taking advantage of outdoor activities. It's great to hear that you swam in the tidal pools and enjoyed the spectacular natural scenery along the Garden Route! We love what we do and the best part is sharing our love for South Africa with our guests <3
Thank you very much for the review and for recommending our tour.
We hope to welcome you back some day!
Safe Travels!

We loved the tour from the beginning to the end. Gareth was a super guide, drove us safely, kept us on schedule, very knowledgeable and funny - great job.
The tour offers a perfect mix of activities, outdoor time, nature, food, culture, you get to see so much in 5 days. Our group was so much fun, a divers bunch from all across the world, we had a great time.

Love the sounds of this trip. We are very active and healthy seniors. We sail, hike, bareboat charter, travel, garden. At 69,73 have we aged out? Hey 60 is the new 50, and so on..

:) Good Morning
Age is just a number and 65 is our recommended upper age limit, but we set no upper age limit and you are more than welcome to join! By the sounds of it you are active,fit and adventurous. The average age of our guests are 33, so you will be a bit older than the other guests, but we get several guests older than 60 joining us on tour and that have a great experience.
Please note, this is an active tour and please note the driving times on our itineraries and activities, once you are happy with all of this you are more than welcome to join.

HI We are active seniors. When is the best time to visit Southern Africa? We are available all year. We are thinking of a 3 week trip. Love animals, wine and beautiful sights. Do you have suggestions for us? South Africa? Botswana? etc ?

Good Morning Carol Anderson
Thank you for contacting Earthstompers Adventures. You have come to the right place! :) Animals, wine and beautiful sights, we have it all and plenty of it. We are based in Cape Town and we specialize in tours in the Western and Eastern Cape Provinces of South Africa, including, Cape Town and surrounding areas, Cape Winelands, Whale Route, Klein Karoo, Garden Route, malaria free Eastern Cape Safaris and Addo Elephant National Park.
The Western and Eastern Cape Provinces of South Africa are all year travel destinations, so you can travel in winter and summer because of milder climates, although I would try and avoid winter months in Cape Town (June, July) because of a pretty high winter rainfall. I would also avoid December and January as this is peak holiday season, prices increase and the areas are very busy.
We can customize a tour package for you and your family according to your specific needs, tastes and budget to make a perfect South African holiday for you. Please contact us via email so we can chat about exactly what it is that you want?
Do not hesitate to contact us with any further questions.
