You should be aware of the impact that your perceptions of South Africa will have on your South Africa tour experience. Ask yourself why you want to visit our country. Try and discover which aspects of a tour appeal to you and which do not.

For instance if you are very sensitive, you might not enjoy visiting a poor township community, while on the other hand it might just inspire you to see how that community copes with its situation. Many people enjoy the company of a tour group around them, whilst others prefer a more private small-group environment. These are important things to consider when looking at the options and choices available.
