So, what’s so special about a trip with Backpacking Tour Co. South Africa?

Why Backpacking Tour Co. South Africa (BTSA) exists…

We’re here to bridge the gap between solo travel and traditional package tours.

Solo travel is awesome but also requires a lot of planning, budgeting and still doesn’t always go the way you expected. We make it easy and plan an awesome trip so that all you need to do is get on and experience South Africa! We’re always around to make sure you feel safe throughout the trip and that you know just what’s planned each day and you’re having a great time.

There’s nothing wrong with a traditional package tour either, we just think they’re a bit impersonal and have a one-size fits all mentality. If you’d like to join a small unique group of similar ages and have similar shared interests then we’re here for you.

Connect Like-Minded People

We cater for small groups of travellers (max. 12 per trip) with similar ages (20-35) and shared interests (think socializing, nature, immersive travel and having a great time). Our aim is for solo travellers to join a trip where they’ll fit right in with the group, bond with the crew and share the experience of getting down and dirty on our Backpacking Adventure of South Africa.

Yup… It’s Personal

Even though our trip is a group experience, we make it as personal for you as possible. With some days off, you’re free to do whatever you’d like to either with the group or alone. We’re even there to help make whatever you’d like to get up to on those days a possibility. Shark cage diving, abseiling, canyoning anyone?

We Love South Africa

South Africa is AMAZING! We’re here to show you why!

South Africa doesn’t have the best reputation for a holiday but we’re here to reassure you that it’s perfectly safe to travel here. Safety is a priority of our trip and we’ll go out of our way to ensure you’re worry-free.

On our trip you’re going to experience some of the highlights of South Africa and by the end of it, you’re going to understand why we’re so passionate about South Africa and share the word about this special country!

Comfort Zone Destruction

Work, sleep, repeat. We’ve been there and know how important it is to escape from a mundane routine.

What better way to take the plunge and join a group trip as a solo traveller to a country completely different to everything you call normal? At the end of the experience you’ll feel refreshed and ready for whatever is next in your life!

We’ve taken the time to make our trip to South Africa a meaningful experience where you’ll make new friends, experience amazing things and get out of your comfort zone.

If any of these reasons resonate with you, we think you’ll have a great time with us and it would be our pleasure to take you on our South African adventure! Feel free to get in touch with us or view our trips to see which date would be the best for you to join us!
