Danie is a really genuine chap and gives a great insight into life in South Africa in 2017, his knowledge, life experience and calm nature make an ideal basis for leading tours. We only did one day with Danie and this was limited to being in and around Jo'burg, we went to Soweto which Danie talks about quite eloquently and the whole family really enjoyed what he had to say and show us. We would recommend and use Danie's services again.…

This was our first trip to Africa, a graduation gift to our son. Based on a recommendation of a colleague we decided on South Africa and arranged for a private tour with Pretvan. Having never visited South Africa and probably being influenced by some western media reports, we were initially apprehensive of this trip. However it turned out to be the best vacation we have ever taken and we will definitely return to South Africa many more times. We cannot say enough good things about Pretvan Tours, they set the stage for this wonderful 22-day custom trip which exceeded our expectations in every way. Danie and Henna, owners of Pretvan Tours, accompanied us for the entire trip. They gave us memories that we will never forget from wild life sightings in Krueger (saw four of the big five) to a side trip to Swaziland, a drive over the central part of SA (the Karoo), a night’s stay at a working ostrich farm, a visit to the Sterkfontein Caves, the Garden Route with stops at Knysna and Tsitsikamma, and wine tastings and gourmet dining in Stellenbosch and Cape Town. Danie and Henna are truly wonderful hosts, they are caring, well organized, knowledgeable about everything in South Africa, and very gracious. Especially enjoyed Danie’s sense of humor and the discussions we had on various topics along the way. We started out as guests and ended the tour as friends. We enthusiastically recommend Pretvan tours to anybody thinking about visiting South Africa. Danie and Henna made this beautiful country with friendly people worth visiting. They gave us an introduction to the local culture and history, and an appreciation for the natural beauty of the country. Pretvan rates are a bargain for the quality of the accommodations, sights visited, comfortable transportation, and the personal care you get from Danie and Henna. As a side note, as I mentioned earlier we were initially somewhat apprehensive about personal safety, however during our entire trip, which included stops both in big cities and small towns, we never encountered any safety issues or felt threatened in any way.…
