Hear from travelers who've experienced South Africa with Explorer's Edge.

"The Garden Route adventure exceeded all my expectations. Our guide, Themba, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. The hikes were breathtaking, and the accommodations were perfect. I'll never forget watching the sunrise from the top of the Tsitsikamma Mountains!"

"As a solo traveler, I was looking for both adventure and connection. The Wild Coast expedition delivered both! The small group size made it easy to make friends, and the mix of hiking, kayaking, and cultural experiences was perfect. The traditional Xhosa homestay was the highlight of my trip."

"Our family of four (with teenagers) had the adventure of a lifetime with Explorer's Edge. The Drakensberg trip was perfectly paced with exciting activities for the kids and beautiful scenery for us. The guides handled everything, and their knowledge of local ecology and history made it educational too!"
