The tour covers Cape Town and Manyoni Game Reserve, each with distinct winter climates. In Cape Town, expect cool to mild temperatures ranging from 8-18°C (46-64°F) with frequent rain showers, overcast days, and occasional clear, crisp weather. The winter winds can be strong, especially during cold fronts, so warm, waterproof clothing and layers are recommended. At Manyoni Game Reserve in Zululand, temperatures are milder, ranging from 10-25°C (50-77°F), with clear, sunny days and cool nights. This dry season is ideal for wildlife viewing as animals congregate around water sources. Light layers for daytime and warm clothing for early morning and evening game drives are advisable.
The tour combines active wildlife viewing and exploration with ample time for relaxation and enjoyment of the scenic surroundings, making it suitable for travelers looking for a balanced itinerary.
Good to comfortable.
Andre Bernon was excellent at sharing his expertise and assisting even the most novice birder (me). We couldn't have asked for a better professional. And he was so personable, considerate and had a great sense of humor.
Since our trip left right after Easter, and the office was supposed to be closed, I REALLY appreciated Lorna responding to my questions in such a timely fashion. She was right there with answers. Accommodations were very very nice, esp Whale View Manor (within walking distance of penguins). The food was fabulous. Greg de Klerk is the best guide I’ve ever travelled with. He is very knowledgeable, kind, and has a great sense of humour. He did his best to make sure everyone saw as many birds as possible, and that we knew what we were seeing. He continually checked in with us, to make sure everyone was having a good time. He made a good trip into a great trip.
André in particular went out of his way to make sure our stay was as wonderful as it could be. Andre is also a great guide, with the ability to spot just about everything that moves, even if the movement is only breathing.
It was a great pleasure to meet David Hoddinott, and a privilege really to spend time with such a great birder. Mine was a focussed trip around several species not seen in South Africa, and we saw all the birds, including a wonderful view of a male Buff-spotted Flufftail. David also found a few species where I had only had single sightings previously. We had to reschedule my trip at short notice and the Tailormade team at RJ were really helpful to ensure this section of our trip went ahead. Many thanks.
I deeply appreciate that Keith Valentine worked hard to find the endemics and warblers that I had expressed an interest in.
