"It was the most amazing travel experience -- aptly named "Making a Difference"

an eye opening two week tour. We met with South African people from all walks of life and saw how  they lived on a day to day basis. Accompanied by knowledgeable and professional local guides we traversed from Johannesburg to Cape Town (passing through 5 out of 9 provinces).  We toured numerous townships, met with Zulus in their homes, visited with kids in orphanages, climbed the beautiful mountains of the Drakensberg, and learned about Apartheid from varying perspectives and  saw the impact it still has on life today - all the while being surrounded by diverse and breathtaking scenery and landscapes.  I truly commend The Cultural Explorer - everything from the accommodations, transportation, local guides, food,

itinerary and logistics was top notch. A once in a lifetime experience."
