Our unique approach combines expert local advice and the latest GPS and mobile technology to help you explore the real South Africa like the locals - with confidence, in safety and enjoying on-the-ground support
The fans have returned home and the vuvuzelas have fallen silent. But the memories and new friendships live on. For a month during the World Cup the world's attention fell on South Africa and, it turns out, it liked what it saw. We always knew (with fingers crossed) that it would. The predictions - mainly by journalists who had never been here - of widespread crime and transport chaos were exposed as the claptrap that they always were. Without exception, all our clients during the World Cup were awestruck by South African's hospitality and South African beauty, described best by Alan Paton as "Lovely beyond any singing of it". At Satpack Travel, we provide our clients with an easy-to-use GPS device that is preloaded with all their safe and scenic southern African routes. Normal sat-nav units will take you the quickest route from A to B even if this takes you through a crime hotspot. Our devices are preloaded with your safe routes so you never get lost or end up in the wrong part of town. We provide you with expert local security advice before you travel and on-the-ground support (the device is also a local phone with email and internet access), as well as assistance to your location in the event of an emergency because we can track where you are. |

We believe that the process of planning a holiday should be as enjoyable as the holiday itself. We will work with you using the latest collaborative tools such as Google Earth (if you want) to put together a truly personalised itinerary. And whilst most tourists stick to the highways, driving past the best South Africa has to offer, we use our years of experience travelling in South Africa to take you on quiet back roads and stunning mountain passes. We will show you a world of deserted beaches, boutique guest houses, authentic people and affordable safaris. Your GPS is preloaded with points of interest we think you’ll enjoy (such as historic sites or the best picnic spots) so your journeys between places are enriched. |
Your device is also a really clever phone so you can stay in touch at local call rates. No more expensive phone bills when you return from holiday. It has a large screen with an easy-to-use keyboard and internet access so you can search for the best local restaurant, get weather forecasts, keep up to date with news from home or even tweet whilst you are on the road. And because we are just a phone call or email away we can also help recommend a tour, reserve that table or even amend your accommodation itinerary should your plans change. |
