Well organized Garden Route Tour - We did de Garden Route Tour, organised bij Bokbus. It has been a great experience. It was very well organized, the accommodation was great and we've sern the highlights. A great part of the success of the tour was our very professional and very friendly guide/chauffeur Mawende. Mawende knows everything about the history of South Africa and is happy to share a lot of his knowledge with his guests. He is also very flexible in meeting the (reasonable) wishes of his guests. Mawende is a careful driver, keeping pace. But I was always comfortable nest to him, even when a (probably European) driver forgets he has to drive on the left hand side of the road. So I can recommend both Bokbus and Mawende.

Unsere 5 Tätige Gardenroute - Hello, my brother and I have decided on the 5 active Gardenroute, which is usually experienced with several people. However, we were lucky enough to drive alone with our tour guide Vaughan. We also want to thank him with the review, as the trip was beautiful and enormously instructive, which was also reflected in his strong organizational skills. He inspired us the 5 days with his authentic, sweet and cheerful nature, which allowed us to experience South Africa with its many facets and individual beauties. We have learned and experienced an incredible lot, so we will never forget the trip. Thank you Vaughan!

Exceptional - This was fantastic thanks in large part to our wonderful guide Mwande and of course to the beauty of the amazing eastern and western Cape. The tour took in many wonderful sights not least Knysna, Jeffrey’s Bay, the stunning Addo elephant park and Tsitsikamma (do not miss this) and the Cango caves culminating in the fabulous Garden Route Game Lodge. We had a real choice of activities and sights to see and were consulted as to what we wanted to do. What was so great was the lived experience of our guide, Mwande. I really felt at the end of it that I had a much deeper understanding of this rich and vibrant country.

Outstanding locations and amazing guide - Mawande was one of the kindest and most thoughtful guides we ever had, he always tries he's best to realize every one of his guest's wishes, making calls and arrangements on the clock to make sure everything is perfect. Plus, he clearly has a deep knowledge of his country and its history, making every explanation and sightseeing rich and meaningful. The 5 day tour was a beautiful experience, and I'm really grateful to have someone so dedicated to make our honeymoon so memorable. Thank you so very much , L & D.

Fantastic 5-Day Garden Route Tour with Chris - I joined the 5-day Garden Route Adventure Tour with Addo Elephant Park run by Bokbus. Our guide, Chris, was outstanding — his historical knowledge was impressive, and when asked something outside his scope, he would take the effort to find out and share with us later. He kept everything on schedule, ensured our safety, and was always attentive to the group’s needs. The tour itself was beautiful and well worth it. Highly recommend both the tour and Chris as a guide!

Unforgettable Garden Route Adventure with Chris and Bokbus! - From start to finish, the Bokbus Garden Route Tour was an absolute dream — and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible guide, Chris! His energy, knowledge, and passion for South Africa made every stop along the way feel special and meaningful. Chris went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt included and comfortable. He shared fascinating stories about the places we visited, from the dramatic cliffs of Tsitsikamma to the wildlife encounters in Addo Elephant Park. His sense of humour kept the group laughing, and his local insights gave us a deeper appreciation for the culture and history of the region. The itinerary was perfectly balanced — a mix of adventure, relaxation, and breathtaking scenery. If you're considering exploring the Garden Route, I can't recommend Bokbus enough — and if you’re lucky enough to have Chris as your guide, you’re in for a truly unforgettable experience!
