ALAN TOURS - Your tour and travel guide to South Africa and Africa
Tours South Africa
Welcome to South Africa, a vast and stunningly beautiful country at the southern tip of the African continent, a land that excites and awakens, reignites dormant senses. South Africa has a wealth of perfect holiday destinations. We offer a wide selection of world class opportunities for everyone, young and old, single or with family. Whether your interests lie in the incredible diversity of South Africa’s natural beauty, found in 19 magnificent National Parks and private reserves spread throughout South Africa or in the amazing cultural diversity of our rainbow nation.
South Africa will awaken your senses:
Watch: herds of Antelope, Zebra and Wildebeest, Rhinos, Elephants, Buffalo, Lions and Leopards, the Big 5 and many more from the comfort of your game drive vehicle in the wilds of the Kruger National Park. Search for over 800 species of Birds in all their shapes colours and sizes.
View: Whales and Dolphins, Seals and Sharks on a Marine guided Big 7 Safari in the malaria free Addo Elephant National Park
Discover: rural villages, the traditions and culture of the Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho, Ndebele, Venda, and Bushman people. Hike a mountain trail in the mighty Drakensberg mountains to the world’s highest waterfall or visit the delicate Bushman Rock art on hidden overhangs.
Stroll: along deserted, golden beaches on the Wild Coast as the sun rises above the Indian Ocean. Travel across South Africa on the famous Garden Route to watch the sunset over the turquoise blue of the Atlantic Ocean on a pristine beach in Cape Town with a glass of chilled South African wine.
Taste: our culture in any number of world class restaurants in our cities and towns or try the simple traditional foods along our coasts or in forests and open savannas.
Hear: the music of a thousand musicians scattered across the country, the beat of traditional drums, the roar of a Lion, the manic cackle of a spotted Hyena, the crash of a winter storm on a rugged coast.
Listen: to the sound of the wind over the desert dunes, the swishing of the tall grass on the mountain slopes.
Smell: the delicious evening meal as it slowly grills on the coals of the woodfire, outside, under a canopy of stars, experience our legendary hospitality with the sound of laughter and a promise to return
Explore: the cultural diversity that is South Africa’s rainbow nation while on a shore excursion. Experience our dynamic and cosmopolitan cities in Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Durban with their innovative entertainment, informative museums, Battlefields, Forts, and Historical buildings. Choose from many restaurants, parks and cultural routes. Wander around more than 3000 kilometers of pristine coastline fringing the Two Oceans
Savour: the delicate flavours of our world class clear, white wines and deep, robust reds cultivated on the slopes and fertile valleys between the high Fold Mountains surrounding Cape Town.
Sleep: under luxury percale surrounded by the sounds of the African night or lulled to sleep by the sounds of the surf on the nearby seashore at peace with the world under a sparkling blanket of a trillion stars.
Awaken: your ancestors by visiting the Cradle of Humankind near Johannesburg and visit the earliest evidence of Modern man on the picturesque Garden Route.
South Africa is one of the two most diverse countries in the world; tropical forests on the east coast through to the driest desert on the west coast and everything in between we are truly a world in one country.
South Africa, a place where the red dust of Africa permeates your soul imploring you to return back to your birthplace, the origin of Humankind.
Africa will never leave you; you will never leave Africa.
With over 40 years of experience the Alan Tours team would like to show you as much of this magical country as we can. Please join us for the ride of a lifetime.
What our guests say
I can highly recommend Alan Tours. We took a custom tour from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town in February 2020, and with Alan's advice tailored the activities and route to our interests.
Es war wirklich eine wunderschöne Zeit mit euch und wir haben es sehr genossen. So umsorgt zu werden, einfach himmlisch!!!! Ihr habt ja alles noch einmal getoppt! -- Wir hatten die beste Zeit mit Euch! Ich habe schon wieder Tränen in den Augen. Ich vermisse Euch sehr!
Alan's knowledge and sharp eye just blew my mind. He pointed out things that the rest of us would have missed and explained everything there was to know from plants and flowers to the inner workings of a termite mound.
His knowledge didn't stop with the fauna and flora as he explained the rock paintings in detail.
If you are looking for a great field guide to take you out on tour and you choose Alan, you are in for a treat.
With Alan Tours once booked you just don't have to worry. They will be there as they are an extremely professional organization. We were fortunate and were picked up by Alan himself and had his van to ourselves. This man is a walking encyclopaedia of everything in nature. His knowledge of everything around him is quite extraordinary and he was able to answer every (probably stupid) question we asked! If you are coming to PE and want a guaranteed excellent tour then Alan Tours are a huge recommendation
Thanks to Angelika who made all preparations from the office. Alan Tours can be highly recommended. Maya
Really good day with a fantastic guide who was informative on all aspects including bird life, flowers and fauna as well as the elephants and general wildlife. Although our cruise ship was late arriving in Port Elizabeth Alan was happy to reschedule the day and ensure that we did not miss out on the wonderful Addo experience.
We would thoroughly recommend this trip.
We had an awesome day with our guide Andrew. He took us to the Addo Elephant Park approximately 75 minutes away from Jeffreys Bay (via Port Elizabeth).
We were very impressed with Andrew as he not only gave us a running commentary about the park and expected animals we should see, but he knew the park like the back of his hand. He knew where to find the animals.
Fifteen minutes after arriving at the park gate we proceeded to see a rare brown hyena, wild boars, gazelles, zebras, elephants and Cape buffaloes to name a few. We were very fortunate to see so many different species. I would definitely recommend both Alan Tour, and Andrew as your guide. Gary
We had the best safari of our lives with Anthony. He was extremely knowledgeable (how many zoologists will be your tour guide through a National Park??). Seeing more animals than we ever dreamed was possible including watching the 2 lions stalking the zebra at the end of the day. It is an adventure we will never forget. I need to also thank Angelika for finding us a spot when they were already all sold out, she was so easy to work with and went above and beyond for us. Hands down the best tour company we have ever worked with and we highly recommend!
