Years of collective experience in the tourism industry and a love of the country provide a filter for the gimmicks, the unsuitable and the rip offs! What remains are the best properties, transport and people in the business. We carefully incorporate these gems into an itinerary perfectly suited to each client's interests and requirements; drawing on long standing relationships in the industry to secure the best rates and most special experiences possible for our clients.
We have been in the wonderful world of travel for over 15 years and can proudly say that thanks mainly to a rich collection of past clients, staff, suppliers, friends and family, we are well established, respected and unblemished. We started small on solid foundations of passion for our country and dedication to client service. We grew slowly and carefully primarily through ‘word of mouth’ and faith in the new South Africa’s travel industry.
We believe in sourcing the right people in to do the wide variety of tasks needed to turn the wheels of our tour operation. We strive to surround ourselves with as much multi-talented expertise as we can afford! Meet the clever individuals behind the scenes in the Southern Destinations engine room.
We have a hand-picked compliment of experienced freelance tourist guides. Over the years they have carefully guided, entertained and enlightened hundreds of our clients. They are all accredited and registered. Besides being a wealth of information, charm and personality, they will be sensitive to your daily needs and a reliable link between you and us while you are in town. Meet them here...
