What Touring Africa with Sable Tours Means


Sable Tours offers travellers the opportunity to embark on unforgettable tours through Limpopo, exploring the continent's diverse landscapes and encountering its magnificent wildlife. Here are four reasons why Sable Tours should be your choice for an African adventure:


Expert Guides

Sable Tours prides itself on its team of experienced guides who are passionate about Africa. It’s in our blood. Knowledgeable individuals will lead you through the vast savannahs, dense jungles, and peaceful deserts, sharing their wealth of information about the flora and fauna that call this continent home.


Luxurious Transfers

Sable Tours understands the importance of comfort during a day of thrilling safari adventures. They provide luxurious vehicles that blend seamlessly with nature, ensuring that you can relax safely in the comfort of professional drivers. From elegant land cruisers to the 26 seater party bus, Sable Tours ensures that your journey is as unforgettable as the wildlife encounters themselves.


Unparalleled Wildlife Experiences

Africa is renowned for its incredible wildlife, and Sable Tours promises unforgettable encounters with majestic creatures like elephants, lions, leopards, and rhinos. Whether you choose to embark on a game drive, a walking safari, or a boat cruise, you'll have the opportunity to witness these animals in their natural habitats, creating memories that will last a lifetime.


Customised Itineraries

Sable Tours understands that every traveller is unique, and they offer customised itineraries to suit your specific interests and preferences. Whether you want to dance to the beat of Shangaan drums or secretly snap pictures of our beautiful wildlife there is an option for every aspiring traveller to our area.


With Sable Tours, you can immerse yourself in the freedom of the African bushveld, creating unforgettable memories that will stay with you long after your adventure comes to an end.


South African Culture Tour Packages


There is so much more to this land than just the animals, although we take nothing away from the beauty and bounty of our wild environment, this land is wrought with history, much of it bloody, and we offer packages that allow you to understand why the sand is the colour it is.


Our Cultural Immersion Experience is one of our proudest packages. Travellers get to choose from two options. The first is a walking tour of the village Phiring where the community has gracefully accepted to show visitors a taste of the local life through their art, dance, music, food and their day to day operations. Secondly, one may choose to visit Nourish. Nourish is an NGO that focuses on the Shangaan people of Sigagule and focuses on sustainable agricultural practices and educating the children of the community. 


A short drive away can be found Magoebaskloof Valley at the edge of the Lowveld and is a must for foodies. Start the day with their local coffee brewers, taste their local beer, eat their famous ‘Haenertburger’ and finish the day with full bellies and warm hearts as you wind through the stunning Magoebaskloof Pass. If you’re lucky you might spot the elusive Cape Parrot along the way, a bird that you can support by buying some of the local beer named after the bird.


“All that glitters is not gold.”


A wise saying you’d best remember should you decide to join us gold panning in Pilgrim’s Rest. This little town is one of the original villages that sprung up during South Africa’s incredulous gold rush. Learn the history and hear the stories from a certified local guide as well as the added bonus of certifying and keeping any real gold you may find. How lucky do you feel?


With our South African tour packages, freedom-seekers can immerse themselves in the diversity, beauty, and history of this extraordinary destination.
