I'm just wondering if anyone has been on the Just You South Africa tour. I'm thinking of going in 2015, as 2014 is sorted with a trip to the States with Just You in a few weeks. Any feedback would be appreciated... then I can start saving up!!

Hi Mary,

I did this tour in Sept 2011 and it was my best holiday ever! The itinerary has changed a bit since then but it still should be a fantastic experience. If possible make sure you do the Zambia add-on, it was the icing on the cake! If you do a search, I wrote a review on my holiday and also started a thread on the Share your travel tips forum, which hopefully might be of some help. Any specific questions I'll do my best to answer them! To whet your appetite my favourite experiences on this tour were seeing the stunning coastal scenery south and east of Cape Town (including the Garden Route), the amazing game drives in Kruger and Chobe NP (Botswana), seeing the Victoria Falls from the air in a helicopter, a sunset cruise on the Zambezi and a gourmet meal on the Royal Livingstone Express (vintage steam train).

I really hope you book this tour, I'm sure you won't regret it!

Best wishes,

Bob

Hi Bob

Thanks for that info. Your review of Mount Rushmore and National Parks helped persuade me to book that tour for this year, so I will definitely check out your review of SA. The name of the tour on Just You has changed from Explorer to Experience and the Zambia add on seems to have been dropped for 2015. However once the new brochure comes out I can check whether that is the case.

Hi Mary, many thanks for your kind words! I've just checked the current brochure and the Victoria Falls add-on is available next year - it must just be a website glitch that is stopping it from appearing! I really would encourage you to do it if you can at all - I often find myself thinking back on it, such happy memories!

Take care,

Bob

Looking Forward to South Africa tour starting 15/09/2014. Wondering what the weather will be like. Trying to pack suitcase with correct clothes. Getting in a right muddle. Any comments or ideas

Hi the weather should be warm in Cape Town and hot elsewhere - I'd say anything from around 18-35C so I'd pack mainly summer light clothes with a couple of trousers and a jacket just in case. It's spring over there so hopefully the weather will be very good - it was when I did this tour anyhow, no rain at all!

Cheers,

Bob
