Maudi was a great driver and guide

Maudi was a great driver and guide, the routes he took to our safari were beautiful, and he came back to Cape Town a different route. I would highly recommend him as a guide.
The only thing we didn’t like was the second hotel, the rooms were so cold and the heating didn’t work.

Hi Lin, thank you for your kind feedback. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your tour with Maudi. He is super passionate about sharing South Africa's beautiful landscapes, hidden gems, and his local stories, and we'll be sure to pass your compliments on to him.

We're sorry the room at the second accommodation felt uncomfortably cold. Winter temperatures can be surprisingly chilly in South Africa, and many homes do not have central heating. While most 4-star luxury stay packages offer in-room temperature control via air-conditioning units, the budget backpacker and 3-star comfort guesthouse stay options generally rely on extra blankets or portable fans. Once informed, we contacted the accommodation supplier, who promptly resolved the issue.

Thank you again for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back soon.

Kind regards,
Team Hotspots2c

South Africa travels

We had an excellent experience with Hotspots2c during our South Africa travels, including Cape Town, the Winelands, Cape Point, and the Garden Route.

What especially stood out was how much effort the company put into organizing and coordinating a complex itinerary that combined multiple tours, accommodations, transfers, and even external tour operators — all carefully fitted around our schedule and later cruise departure. It was clear that the team genuinely cared about making everything work smoothly.

The flexibility and coordination behind the scenes were impressive, especially given the number of moving parts involved across the 10-day itinerary.

Our Garden Route guide, Isaac, was friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to make the experience enjoyable for everyone in the group. Throughout the tour he shared many helpful explanations and insights into South African history, culture, and society, including thoughtful discussions around apartheid, the Zulu people, and the country’s broader historical development.

The overall experience combined beautiful scenery, wildlife, culture, history, and local experiences in a way that felt both authentic and well organized.

We would gladly recommend Hotspots2c to anyone looking for a well-coordinated and meaningful way to experience South Africa.

Perfect company!!!

I have lots of experiences with Hotspots2c and for me, is the best company in South Africa.
I met the company in 2011 and during the years I´ve been there (South Africa) 8 more times and all times with Hotspots2c and their perfect guides. My last time was in December 2024, but I can´t wait to visit the mother city again. Cheers to the best company!!!
