The July –  August African Road Trip is always a big success. The weather is always much warmer than people think. South African winter is a world away from a Northern hHemisphere winter. The waves are so good at this time of year.<\/p>\n

Chris Bond – our Head of African Adventures, calls it his favouvite time of year to be in South Africa. Read Chris' African Road Trip Blogs<\/a><\/p>\n

At the end of each trip, people like to leave testimonials, this is what some of this year's crew had to say.<\/p>\n

\n\tMatthew Hull:<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
\n\t"Getting to travel around such a diverse country whilst making friends and having trip leaders that genuinely cared about the time we had made this a must do for any aspiring surfer. <\/em>The convenience of the trip made everything more enjoyable yet it was not without its challenges that we all battled through and look back with fondness. <\/em>I would recommend this trip (or any trip!) to anyone with the time and money as trust me you won’t regret it! "<\/em><\/div>\n
\n\t <\/div>\n
\n\tTessa McQuire:<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
\n\t"I had a thoroughly good time – without a doubt the best six weeks of any summer. I could not have asked for a better group of people to travel around South Africa with. <\/em>Every stop provided unique opportunities for both surfing and other activities. I doubt that there is and other trip that would provide such amazing and unlimited coaching in addition to any other activity that you could possibly want to do." <\/em><\/div>\n
\n\t <\/div>\n
\n\tThank you so much Ticket to Ride (and Chris and Chad especially) for an incredible and completely unforgettable experience.<\/em><\/div>\n
\n\t <\/div>\n
\n\tLizzie Tilley:<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
\n\t"Seriously an awesome experience. You get to meet and become friends with people you may not usually spend time, with whilst traveling an amazing country. You don’t just get the average tourist experience but really get to experience the local vibes. All this, plus you get to improve your surfing!"<\/em><\/div>\n
\n\t <\/div>\n
\n\tAlex Bushell:<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
\n\t"Ticke to Ride was amazing. I have loved every minute of my trip, combining outdoor activities and community work and experiencing another country and culture. The trip leaders were so relaxed I felt there was no pressure to do anything we didn’t want to do and at the same time were given every opportunity possible to do whatever we wanted to do. The group has become a family, and although we are all such different people we all got on so well."<\/em>

\n\t\tPippa Inderwick: <\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
\n\t\t"The trip with Ticket to Ride to South Africa has been one of the best things I have done in my life.  I have met a group of amazing people who I will be friends with for life. Even in times of near drowning in the mega waves of Coffee Bay, we could all still force out a laugh together, and battle on through the next set. <\/em>Although I still don’t consider myself a pro surfer, I can definitely say I have made a great improvement! This is all down to the hard work all the instructors put in, to make sure we were surfing to the best of our ability. An amazing experience!"<\/em><\/div>\n
\n\t\t <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n\tHamish Thomson:<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
\n\tAs promised, Ticket to Ride surpassed my expectations. The coaching was really useful and the trip leaders were so good with us – integrating us into South Africa. <\/em>I had an amazing time, and I would love to do it all again!<\/em><\/div>\n
