Recognising that touring
can be tiring and superficial if not planned correctly, we have spent as much time
"listening" as we have "designing", with feedback strongly indicating
that the memorable components of a South African experience are, the "search"
for Big Game, the attractions of Cape Town and the Garden Route, all set against the
backdrop of a diverse environment, and the country’s multi cultural communities. We
therefore concentrate on offering South Africa differently, and in a relaxed fashion,
rather than compiling the type of blurred itinerary that leaves one frazzled round the
edges, and in desperate need of a holiday!
Our strength lies in specialist area knowledge, and the manner in which this is adapted
into a relaxed and flexible experience. Apart from the inevitable "must
do’s", we will quite naturally incorporate "off the beaten track"
variations, as well as the all important element of mixing with the "locals"
wherever possible. This combination is intended to present as realistic a perspective on
the real South Africa as possible, whilst sampling the unique brand of local hospitality,
and avoiding a lot the tourists!
Whether in our direct care in the Cape, or being looked after by one of our colleagues in
another part of the country, we have built up a network of like minded individuals and
organisations who possess similar shared values. Between us, we aim to create that special
relationship which converts visitors into friends. There is sensitivity to the inevitable
"small things", as well as recognition that going the extra mile, quite often
means just that. We are not a bottom line driven organisation, but rather an owner
operated business that understands the value of good, old fashioned service, given
willingly and cheerfully.
A small selection of "off the shelf tours" are also available for those
requiring a quicker, and more instantaneous option. However, we offer an all round touring
service, whatever the interest, and all schedules are designed with relaxation and
flexibility as a top priority.
EXTENSIONS: Can be arranged to neighbouring territories, and Indian Ocean
Islands by request.
SELF DRIVE OPTION: Whilst Evergreen Excursions understands the convenience
and relaxing nature of driver guided schedules, we also fully appreciate the need to offer
an alternative service for those visitors who prefer to conduct their own
independent itinerary on a self drive basis.
In order to fulfil this need we have formed a partnership with Europcar, an
internationally recognised vehicle hire company, who have some of the most competitive
rates currently on offer, together with 24 hour service and on the road
assistance that only the infrastructure of a well established and organised
company can offer. The fleet is both modern and extensive, with a choice of vehicles
to suit all preferences and budgets, and the few pictures shown provide only an
indication of what is available.
