Testimonial

Amazing Voyages kept track of us every day and we cannot explain how important it was to us to feel that we were in very good hands. Every driver and guide was always on time and very gracious and helpful and our every need was taken care of for us. We really appreciate your professionalism.

The Plaza Grande in Quito is absolutely fabulous, the Royal Palm in the Galapagos is the best hotel we ever stayed in; the chef is outstanding, his meals are some of the best we ever had. Did you know that Prince Charles stayed there when he visited the islands? We are sure that the service we received was just as good as his. We had a marvelous time in the Galapagos and it was living a dream.

Off the Beaten Track South Africa Tour

This off the beaten-track South Africa tour incorporates the KwaZulu Natal province, otherwise known as the Kingdom of the Zulu, a melting pot of African, European and Indian cultures. KwaZulu Natal also boasts two World Heritage Sites; the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park and the Ukhahlamba Drakensberg Park.
With a fabulous climate, marvellous beaches, game parks and remains of the great battles in South African history, this often missed part of South Africa is a wonderful alternative to the more populated regions of South Africa.
