We were looking to do a trip to South Africa. None of our country's tour agencies were organising any this year.
Had to say a prayer when searching online for tour contact in South Africa.
Prayer works!
Hannah of Open Road Tours was simply brilliant. She was wonderfully responsive at all times (even when we were already on her tour!), accommodating to our date changes and even arrival/departure locations, worked out a fabulous itinerary for us, extending beyond South Africa, giving us the opportunity to experience the diversity that Africa offers.
Thank you, Hannah!

If you're newbie solo traveler, having a dream of ride tha motorcycle across the Mongolia, but have a too little experience at riding(It was me), than OpenRoadTour he is your guy.
Got a perfect condition of Shinray XY. Across the internet, the Shineray is notorious for the minor malfunctions. However, i acrossed from west of Ulaanbaatar to Terelj, got no malfunctions at all. Furthermore, I took a quite of bumpy offroad (even quite of fell down), no malfunctions.
Ulaanbaatar is notorious for the traffic(I knew that since I entered the main road(peace ave.) mistakenly.) He will plane the perfect route for you.
Are you newbie with the 'real motorcycle' not like a scooter? He will teach you, get ready for the ride. I was a newbie, but successfully across whole Ulaanbaatar and run down the Terelj offroad along the steppe.
And the last thing. When I was trying to contact the many bike rental shops in Ulaanbaatar, he was only one responded.

We provided Hannah with our arrival and departure dates, told her what we wanted and asked her to come up with a plan. We worked on the plan with her, suggestions made both ways, untill the whole trip was crafted. She was so knowladgable and helpful, did all the booking and made all the arrangments, which went without a flaw.
Our trip proved to be wonderful, it gave us all we had hoped for and much more. A big Thank You to Hannah and full marks to Open Road Tours

Hannah is very kind, extremely well organised and attentive to the need of travellers. She always replies promptly and is extremely reliable. She has an excellent team of guides who gave us a great tour of Johannesburg during our short stop-over. We had an unexpected problem which had absolutely nothing to do with Hannah and yet one of her team spent a considerable amount of time with us to sort it out. We are hoping to travel with Hannah's team again on a longer future trip to South Africa.

Open road tours is a very professional and the same time a very personal travel agency. We have been to South Africa and Namibia with the help of Open road tours for the last 7 years and each time is a new challenge to find places we did not visit in the past. And this is the strong point of Open road tours : they do not only offer “ready made” trips but they think together with their guests : what exactly are they looking for – what are their interests – what type of hotels/lodges- …….
Bringing all these “investigations” together and you can organize the trip up to your own expectations and also respect your budget.

We really liked the trip since it was very diverse. We visited different parts of the country and all of them very nice. The Kambaku lodge is a must and our guide in Cape Town (Russel Pique) was extremely professional and nice. In short, we returned home with beautiful memories. Food in ZA is also amazing.

I just completed a fantastic tour organized by Hannah in the eastern and western cape of South Africa. All the lodges, game viewing and guides were excellent. The Shark tour in Hermanus was a highlight, as well as the Apartheid museum and Cradle of Mankind in Joburg. I highly recommend booking with Hannah for you next trip to Africa.

> Getting out of my country and visiting another part of the world, South Africa, was one of the greatest experiences in my life.
> After landing in Johannesburg we got picked up by the tour company, where we had wonderful night at the beautiful Peermont D'oreale Grande Hotel at Emperors Palace.
> On day 3 we had an ultimate Safari at Mabula Game Lodge which was spectacular. We celebrated New Years Eve and they prepared an unbelievable dinner. After that we got to do my favorite activity, hiking, on Drakensburg. We climbed the highest peak in South Africa, Mt Mafadi. Our guides and porters helped us tremendously and we all were able to summit the top. Our last leg of our trip we flew to Cape Town where we visited the beautiful Table Mountain, we did Zip lining and went wine tasting. It was such a memorable experience and Open Tours did a phenomenal job at creating a personalized trip. They were so helpful and accommodating. We all loved Hannah. I strongly recommended Open Tours and would absolutely use them again.

Wow, thank you for the lovely review! I am so glad that you've had a wonderful time in South Africa!

Hopefully we will see you again in the near future!
All the Best
