We utterly LOVE our Whales, Sharks and African animals - and since our early childhood years we have always been great fans of David Attenborough, transfixed and mesmerized by his incredible BBC natural history documentaries - which "opened our eyes" to the wonders of nature, especially Africa.
|
2 decades ago we went on a 2 year non-stop exploration to discover these incredible animals & regions, visiting the hot rain-forests of NE Australia, then the SE Asia steamy jungles of Borneo, Malaysia, Laos & Cambodia, before heading to the safaris of southern Africa - Namibia, Botswana & Kruger, Addo and Kalahari in South Africa.

Our discoveries sowed a seed.....
After fully immersing ourselves on this 2 year epic journey of incredible discoveries,
we realised that our passions for wildlife and nature was truly where our heart was
and decided that these discoveries should be fully shared and enjoyed
with equally passionate persons from all 4 corners of the world
and hence we re-located to the pretty seaside town of Hermanus, South Africa
which is regarded by many marine scientists as being a Whale and Shark hot-spot
and Xplora Tours was born.

Many years later - and after arranging, organising and conducting many holiday tours, safaris and explorations of stunning Hermanus and the Western Cape regions, I think we can safely say that we have been extremely fortunate to have discovered our little piece of heaven, which we will enthusiastically and eagerly share with you.
