What our clients are saying

Great Experience with Detour Africa

Detour Africa, specifically James planned a total of 19 of our 23 days in South Africa, Swaziland and Kingdom of Lesotho. The suggestions, organization of the tours and prompt replies to my many, many emails was exemplary. Everything went smoothly and we had a wonderful time. We would not hesitate to recommend Detour Africa for all your Africa tours. James was wonderful!

Well done Detour

We looked for an affordable private tour to Krugerpark, Mozambique and eSwatini. James from Detour Africa helped us in our planning and made our experience with this trip totally satisfying and remarkable. Everything went on as planned with high quality, seeing the big six (added whales at Ponta do Ouro) and a very good guide and driver. James respond quick and polite and with local insight. We have traveled to about 150 countries - we recommend James and Detour Africa.
