Why Book with us?

So many reasons, so little time!

We tailor-make safaris that take you to the real Africa – no readymade tours or set departures.

Expert Travel Advice

We’ve slept in the beds, indulged in the food, connected with people and seen the wildlife. Then we went back and experienced it all again, just to be sure. We’ll keep retracing our journeys to ensure that what we recommend is perfect for you. We pride ourselves on being the go-to on African travel and providing you with the expert advice.

Made in Africa

We enjoy personal relationships with numerous suppliers across Africa. Situated in Port Elizabeth, also known as the friendly city, we are on the ground which allows us to cut out the middle-man and deliver you the best pricing possible.

Tailor-made Itineraries

Our itineraries are like the spots on a leopard’s coat – not one is alike. We’ll tailor-make your trip to suit your individual needs, budget and requirements rather than merely asking you to choose from set packages. Through this we create your dream southern African experience, and help you take home the best stories you’ll ever tell and make the most memorable memories.

We have just returned from South Africa for which Cearl at East Cape Tours did the organising of internal flights, accommodation and the Safari. The service we received was first class. Cearl was really helpful, professional, knowledgeable and efficient. Thank you.

We did a short term decision to visit Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe on a long weekend. ECT‘s recommendation in regards of flights, hotel, dinner tour and drumshow was simply perfect and allowed to relax as well. I only can recommend.

For our first safari in Africa we decided to go to Sabi Sands private game reserve which was incredible. The whole process went seamlessly thanks to our amazing agent Valencia Sifo. She was extremely responsive and very helpful at answering all our questions for the trip. I would highly recommend her to help you plan a trip of a LIFETIME! Thank you Valencia.

Delayed trip to South Africa after Covid. All amendments were handled swiftly and efficiently. Cost kept to minimum considering a 2 year delay. Every property we stayed at was excellent, every trip organised was excellent, car hire was perfect and would definitely use them again. Recommended to friends.
