To Mandy, from the Detour Africa team: Thank you for helping us arrange a beautiful adventure to Namibia. Mandy was fantastic in handling all the admin, a few changes along the way, and some add-ons. The trip (with Nomad Africa being the service provider) was fantastic, and everything ran smoothly.

Highly Recommended! Our experience booking with Detour Africa Tours was outstanding from the very first contact through to the end of an incredible trip. The entire booking process was smooth, professional, and reassuring, and a huge part of that was thanks to our booking agent, Mandy. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us plan the perfect itinerary. One of the highlights of our trip was the safari that Detour Africa Tours arranged for us with Kurt Safari in Kruger National Park. It was an absolutely superb experience — expertly organised, exciting, and truly unforgettable. The guides were fantastic, the wildlife sightings were incredible, and everything ran seamlessly thanks to the excellent planning behind the scenes. From the initial enquiry to the final moments of the trip, the level of service we received was nothing less than excellent. Detour Africa Tours delivered a truly memorable adventure, and Mandy’s help and attention to detail made all the difference. We would highly recommend Detour Africa Tours to anyone planning a trip to South Africa and wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!

Thanks to Detour Africa and the coordinator Mandy for our phenomenal experiences with our Kruger NP booking! Everything worked out perfectly with our booking. Mandy was really kind, helpful choosing the right Safari and Lodge and was always answering questions immediately. Really professional ! We really enjoyed our stay at Umkumbe River Lodge. Our 5-day stay was really outstanding. Everything was great - the lodge was well equipped, very good food, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Our guide Shannon was a motivated, friendly and, from my point of view, professional guide who helped us to have amazingly wildlife sightings from so close distances that we could literally touch the animals (what you of course shouldn’t do and we didn’t do ;) ) and was explaining detailed a lot of things converning everything we saw. She was really professional! We saw the big five and a lot more - the pics are just a little (appetizer) pick of our hole lot more taken ones (go and the them live on your own ;) ) I can just recommend the Umkumbe River Lodge and I was very happy choosing Detour Africa and you helping us picking this gem of a Lodge.

We had an absolutely amazing experience on the 6-day Garden Route tour with Earthstompers! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our guide was super cool, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip fun from start to finish. We always felt very safe thanks to the excellent driving and the well-organized itinerary. The bus was comfortable and the journey itself was just as enjoyable as the destinations. The accommodations were especially fantastic — each place had its own unique vibe and made the trip feel even more special. What we loved most is how the tour made it possible to see so much of such a huge and diverse country in a short amount of time without ever feeling rushed. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting South Africa — it’s the perfect mix of adventure, comfort, and unforgettable experiences!

I can only highly recommend booking a trip with Detour Africa. They’re very fast in responding and very organized with any organisation pre-hand. I did the 6-day Garden Route Tour in SA and it was honestly such an amazing experience. True an meaningful memories were made. What made the tour so memorable and special was mainly our tour guide Rochelle. She made sure everyone felt included and welcomed during the whole tour. No matter what maybe an issue ar request was, she made sure it was taken care of. I went solo but never felt lonely. I’m very pleased and lolking forwad to book with them again. (Africa is such a beautiful continent!)
