Planning around your leave days

Most people don't choose a holiday by continent. They choose it by the days they can actually take off. That's why this page is built around months rather than destinations — pick the window you have, and see everything that fits it.

Every departure above shows the real number of spots remaining, so what you see is what's genuinely available. Tours marked with only a few left are close to full, and the ones marked fully booked have gone — but message us anyway, because places do occasionally open up.

How the money works

Every tour is secured with a R3,000 deposit, whatever the price. We then invoice the balance with a card payment link, or you can settle by EFT in instalments before you travel. No interest, no credit check. The full detail is on our How to Pay page.

Booking around South African school holidays

Our July, September/October and December departures line up with school terms and fill fastest. If you're tied to those windows, book earlier than feels necessary — the December and New Year tours in particular sell out months ahead every year.

Travelling solo?

Most of our group does. You'll be paired with someone of the same gender as standard, or you can take a single occupancy upgrade at booking if you'd rather have your own room. Have a look at our destination guides if you're deciding between trips — they cover what each place is actually like, what it costs in rands, and what you'll need to get in.
