What a fab tour Tobz and Annika put together! We had it all: wild coasts, spectacular beaches, wildlife, vineyards, city life in Cape Town. Got great insight into South African politics and history, talked to inspiring entrepreneurs, met amazing people, hiked, laughed, enjoyed sundowners at stunning places. Tobz and Annika simply know what they are doing! So much more than just a holiday, highly recommended!
Merle Schierenberg: Chintsa to Cape Town, 2017

I can absolutely recommend this tour! A wonderful and very varied insight into South Africa and its beautiful people. Very nice and competent tour guides. I travelled with Tobz and Annika in 2017 and loved it. Don't think twice, just do it, too!
Dr. Martin Reiss: Chintsa to Cape Town, 2017

Tobz is a great guide. He is so friendly, open-minded and inspiring. I wouldn't want to travel with any other person. I'm already making plans for my next trip with Traveloma with my friends.
Vanessa May: Wild Coast Adventures, 2018

Our journey to South Africa was a once-in-a-lifetime trip with many unforgetable experiences. The trip was very professionally organised and implemented. We would always travel with Traveloma again and strongly recommend them to everyone else.
Monika & Dieter Mettner: Chintsa to Cape Town, 2018

During our road trip, we experienced the whole variety of South Africa. Tobz gave us very interesting insights into people's daily life and social and political issues. We would not have seen and understood this without his local expertise - much better than traveling by yourself!
Karsten Schmidt: Johannesburg to Cape Town, 2019

We had an awesome time in South Africa. We saw beautiful nature, wild animals, beaches, oceans, mountains. We learned about the history of South Africa and stayed in rural African villages and vibrant cities. I would travel exactly the same way again!
Levin Gsänger: Johannesburg to Cape Town, 2019

This tour takes you to the Transkei, a former ‘homeland‘ which is now part of the Eastern Cape and home to the Xhosa people. Tobz will take you for a day tour along the Great Kei river, along the dramatic coastline, jagged cliffs, wild beaches and rolling hills and valleys. Before you will visit a rural African village and a traditional healer, Tobz will happily teach you some Xhosa, a language with clicks, so you can chat to the locals.

Duration: Half or full day.

South Africa’s peaceful transition from Apartheid dictatorship to democracy fascinated people all around the world. The Eastern Cape is home to many political activists in the struggle against apartheid, including Nelson Mandela, Steve Biko and Oliver Thambo. On the footsteps of these heroes, this tour gives you insights into the rich political history of the province and also engages with current political issues.

Duration: Full day

On this tour you can explore the whole of East London - the historic city centre with its river port and Mdantsane, the second largest township in South Africa. Tobz grew up in Mdantsane and will give you insights into its history and daily life in the township. This tour can be booked as a full day tour or be split into two parts - either the East London City Tour or the township tour.

Duration: Half or full day

Due to its incredible natural beauty and welcoming people, the Wild Coast is ideal for hiking. We can organise easy to medium terrain hikes, but also more long and challenging ones if you are keen to test your limits. There are many fantastic surfing spots as well and we are happy to organise lessons or boards for you.

Duration: Half or full day

The Wild Coast is South Africa’s best kept secret. This is the area where Tobz grew up and which he still calls home. The region has not yet been accessed by most tourism developments but is one of the most stunning natural treasures of South Africa and a biodiversity hotspot. There is so much to do - you can visit rural villages, go hiking, kayaking, kloofing, surfing - anything is possible. Let us know and we will make a plan together.

Duration: Half, full or multiple days.

This tour starts from Chintsa but we can also fetch you from Port Elizabeth or East London. During the day, we will explore the magnificent national park on a game drive and a photo safari. Addo Elephant Park is the third-largest National Park in South Africa (180 000 ha in size) and has recently become the only park in the world that is home to Africa's “Big 7”: Buffalo, Lion, Elephant, Leopard and Rhinoceros, Great White Sharks and Southern Right Whales. After the sun sets, we will enjoy a South African barbeque, called braai.

Duration: 2 or 3 days
