My Reviews
Tony Horn
I first travelled with Tony three years ago. He met me at the airport and we spent the rest of the tour together. Being on a "one to one" basis it was great in that we could stop wherever we wanted and although we had destinations to get to we were not stuck rigidly to a route. His personal knowledge of the area, which on this occasion was the Free State which is his home area, of course helped a lot. We gradually developed a friendly relationship which encouraged me to tour with him again the following year. We worked together to choose an itinerary and again it worked out very well and as a result I have seen many places well off the usual tourist routes. This year (March) we again planned an itinerary together and as before it worked out very well taking in battlefield sites, game reserves and a city stay in Durban. We are already working on next year's itinerary (2018). Because of the attention he gives you as a person he gets to know the subjects in which you are interested (in my case wild life and history) and plans the tours to meet these interests. Apart from that he is a very nice person to spend time with and this also makes for a relaxing and enjoyable time.

I have been travelling with Tony for five years having first met him when I wanted to visit Tiger Canyons in the Free State and to pursue places relevant to Emily Hobhouse. Since then he has planned some wonderful tours for me as he first listens to what you want to do and then plans it accordingly. As he has a personal and individual approach there is flexibility meaning that every tour is a wonderful and memorable experience.

This was my sixth tour with Tony. He knows what I like to see and so and so we plan an itinerary which includes wild-life, history and battlefields and also simply beautiful places. We went to the North West province and the Northern Cape and into the Kalahari to Witsand Nature Reserve where we self catered - which proved a bit difficult as we had no electricity until late in the evening so we sat in the dark and listened to nature at its best. We then returned to "civilisation" and visited the wonderful Kimberley and Bloemfontein where for the third time we visited the fabulous Boer War museum. No matter how many times you go it is still so interesting and educational. Although in the last couple of days I had the worry of whther or not my flight home would proceed because of the Covid 19 virus, it did not spoil a wonderful holiday and I shall be back in South Africa agin as soon as the world returns to normal.
