Our thoughts

" Afternoon tea at this ‘Grand old Dame’ of Cape Town is a ‘must-do’. 

Take time to explore the gardens on a self-guided walking tour - some trees date back almost 200 years. "

"The best trip we have ever had and we have had some wonderful holidays. Africa is a very special place - we will definitely be returning to South Africa."

"We had an amazing holiday thanks! It was super from start to finish. African Pride did us proud. Our £££ took us much further than would have been the case in Europe - meals out were much cheaper, as was drinking. We were delighted. The Harley Davidson coastal tours and Franschhoek ebike tours were excellent, and we would definitely recommend. It was a really lovely holiday making memories that we will treasure always!!"
