Oudtshoorn Tour Packages

th light breezes greeting you wherever you go. We were really lucky with our safari in Kwantu as we were able to sight almost all of the variety of wildlife that they have in the reserve. The stay at Kwantu was also equally comfortable. Knysna and Oudtshoorn were another pair of scenic locations and the drive from Port Elizabeth to Kwantu to Knysna & Oudtshoorn was undoubtedly one of the best drives I have ever had. The visit to Cape Town was as exciting as we were expecting and the city welcomed us with a marvelous evening sky as we drove in. The local sightseeing service available in the city was a good enough option as it drove us through almost all the places of interest within and around the city. The Table Top Mountain did live to it's grandeur and the view from up top was really breathtaking. The entire Cape peninsula as well as the town were so tiny yet so vast. The Cape Peninsula tour on the next day was equally interesting, covering the entirety of the Cape of Good Hope, the Botanical garden, Hout Bay Harbour and the most awaited Jackass Penguin colony in Boulders beach. About the travel agent: The approach of MKHolidays before and after the first payment for the trip was in dire contrast. While they were following up with us multiple times throughout the day with even minor changes in the itinerary before we made the first payment, after that we had to call them up over 4-5 times for every update or voucher request. We did no get the hotel vouchers till the very last week of our travel. The flight ticket from Johannesberg to Port Elizabeth were given to us at midnight just before the day of our flight. Without that, we had been stranded in JoBerg with no onward flight tickets. The downpayment for the car rental which was included in the travel package had not been made and I had to pay for the same from my pocket. Upon arrival in Cape Town, when we went to Holiday Inn (a 4-star property), we were told that there was no booking in our name and the hotel voucher given to us for that place was invalid. All calls to MKHolidays went unanswered & the Travel Triangle representative merely shrugged off saying that he would not be able to help as the bookings were under the agent's purview. I had to pay for the first night from my own pocket. Upon the next day, I was told that the hotel booked for me was the Holiday Inn Express (a 3-star property), even though the package specifically included the other property. We reluctantly moved to Holiday Inn Express, only to realize that our booking there was cancelled due to a no-show the previous night. We had to wait for a longer time for the bookings to get re-listed. The vouchers for each day's activity were given to us only on the previous midnight. This caused an aura of uncertainty throughout our trip as we never knew what time we had to wake up the next day for the pickup. Had South Africa not been that marvelous a country, the callous approach of the travel agent during the trip would definitely have ruined the experience for us.

o Miss Harsheen, Miss Shruti and Miss Karishma for helping us plan out the entire trip. Thanks to Mr Sunny too who helped towards the final few days before the trip began. And major thanks to Mr Paras who was our local contact in South Africa, who helped us all through the trip whenever we faced any issue. Finally, thanks to the entire Aerospace and traveltriangle team for everything. Below was our itinerary: 4 days - Cape Town 1 day - Stellenbosch 2 days- Knysna 2 days - Port Elizabeth 1 day - Kwantu private game reserve We took self drive option, which was the highlight of our trip. Also from our experience, I'd suggest that you visit the following cities: 4 days - Cape Town 1 day - Stellenbosch 1 day - George (as Oudtshoorn is nearer from George than Knysna, and Knysna had nothing apart from a sunset cruise) 2 days - Port Elizabeth 2 days - Kwantu Private Game Reserve And do opt for Self drive from the 4th day of the trip till the final day, for us, the 1650 kms of driving along the beautiful landscape was the major highlight of the trip!
