Thank you for taking the time to share your comments about our tour to South Africa. We greatly value your feedback as we are always striving to further enhance our guests experiences. We are pleased to learn that you found this tour to be very interesting, with a full itinerary. In response to customer feedback, our group size is reducing to 36 for all 2026 departures. Due to the geographical location, the Battlefields does require an increase in coach time. This is always something we like to keep to a minimum, however as this excursion on the whole is well received, it has remained a part of the itinerary. We are delighted that you thought the time in Kruger was excellent, along with the towns you visited along the south coast and in the Wine Lands. Thank you also for your comment on the number of hotels used, I have shared this with our Product Manager, who reviews feedback collectively, tweaking the tour where necessary to further improve guest's experiences. We very much look forward to welcoming you on a future tour with Riviera Travel and receiving your much valued feedback.
