South African Tours

 

Nature Touring offers quality South African tours incorporating the best that is to offer in the country. The Eastern Cape is one of the hidden treasures and Nature Touring has awesome South African tours to this part, where private game reserves and national parks are home to the Big 5 in a malaria free environment, here lion, rhino, buffalo, hippopotamus, elephant and leopard are to be seen at some of our selected establishments where antelope and predators roam free and birds abound, it is the survival of the fittest.


We offer two Namaqualand flower tours one 5 Day Tour and one 10 Day Tour, highlighting the diversity of flowers found in this rich area during August and September yearly, the Karoo areas where there is an abundance of crassula and other succulents flowering at various times throughout the year, with its mountain passes and stunning ports through the incredible mountains, are also part of our South African Tours. Birding is incorporated in the flower tours and also in our other South African Tours.


The Garden Route is very popular for its scenic beauty and is a hotspot for bird watchers and nature lovers alike. One must not leave out the ostrich farms and wildlife breeding facilities of the Oudtshoorn area, the most popular destination of all South African tours.


Lastly Nature Touring offers whale watching tours between the months of July and November where one can spot these enormous creatures swimming and breaching in the waters below you while standing on coastal cliffs.

What our clients have to say:

 

Dear Alice and Patrick,

Just a few words of thanks to Patrick and Alice Duddy at Nature Touring for the wonderful holiday at Kenton On Sea.  Although our holiday was only for a short period of seven days, we were treated to wonderful outings in the surrounding areas and saw some very interesting sights. Thanks for your hospitality and friendliness.

May we have the opportunity of joining you again in the near future for another pleasant holiday?

Many thanks

Alwyn & Marie Louw


Dear Patrck and Alice.

It gives us great pleasure to comment on our tour to Namaqualand. The time you spent planning the tour in advance, selecting excellent accommodation, determining where to find the most diverse flora habitats and your superb  knowledge of  the west coast flora together with your enthusiasm all contributed to open up to us, not only the colourful masses of Namaqua flora but also the smallest and often unseen species.

Regards

Ben & Antjie Farrell


Dear Patrick & Alice,

The fragrance of fynbos and Karoo is still so vivid in my thoughts. Thank you for showing us how to explore the secrets of nature. Nothing is too insignificant to stop by...you get as much excited about a dungbeetle as at the majestic Swartberg-pass. Even the tiniest little flower is meticulously dissected. Thanks for a well planned and organized trip always to be remembered!

Kind regards, Alta


Dear Patrick & Alice,

Many thanks for the pictures – lovely shots!!  We greatly enjoyed your company and that of your other guests.

Best Wishes

Shirley & Paul


Dear Alice & Patrick,

We thought that we were extremely fortunate from the moment we met our outstanding Nature Touring Guides. You two were fantastic in the way you looked after us and gave us such a memorable trip. The bonus was, as Patrick said, that we started out as strangers and finished as friends.

Again, many thanks for everything

Kind regards

Pam & Keith

Dear Patrick and Alice

Just a short note of thanks for organising such a wonderful flower tour!  Your boundless hospitality from arrival set the tone for this adventure. You arranged such wonderful farm stays and I cannot say we did not see enough flowers.  It was particularly nice that it was not just about “daisies” and you both have a wealth of knowledge regarding all our wild flowers.  You picked up on our interest in birds and photography and again you had knowledge of both and this was taken into account daily with suitable stops for “shots” and time to identify. Although you had a daily itinerary this was flexible and if wanted to stop a bit longer we could do so. Your knowledge of the different geographical areas helped one to understand our beautiful land and all it contains.

On my “wish list” to see was (very tongue in cheek) some bat eared foxes in the daisies and we still laugh at this when we remember those lovely sightings in the daisies in the West Coast National Park!

What a lovely idea your snack box was with home baked goodies to dip into whenever you wanted. Our vehicle was always neat and tidy at the start of each day with fresh cold water in your designated spaces.  Your well stocked “library” covering the tour was such a bonus.

I have looked at interest at your Karoo Tours for the future! I highly recommend this team for any tour advertised and have no doubt that should you want your “own” tour this will be arranged with the utmost professionalism!

Thank you

Dora (Johannesburg)
