Nature Touring - Personalised tours of South Africa tailored to suit your needs and timing - Our specialities are flowers and wildlife

Nature Touring specialises in personalised tours in South Africa. Our love of remote areas and natural beauty is highlighted in our year-round Karoo tours where we visit nature reserves and private farms, showing off the wonderful diversity of the rich floral kingdom we live in. The flowers you experience on our tours are unique to this part of the world.

We offer flower tours in spring (August to October) to our West Coast, Namaqualand and Karoo regions, as well as year-round tours to the famed Garden Route. Our nature tours incorporate whale watching (in season), Big 5 game park tours and scenic ferry trips in Knysna & Plettenberg Bay. Nature Touring is also undertaken in Addo Elephant National Park which has the highest density of elephants in the world, as well as Scotia for our famous big cats.

Nature Touring is a husband and wife team, dealing directly with you, the customer, from start to finish. We, Alice and Parick, are both qualified nature tour guides and personally conduct the tours with you. Our desire is to share and enjoy the natural beauty and amazing diversity our countryside, fauna and flora has to offer nature lovers.

Dear Alice and Patrick,
Just a few words of thanks to Patrick and Alice Duddy at Nature Touring for the wonderful holiday at Kenton On Sea during August 2008. Although our holiday was only for a short period of seven days, we were treated to wonderful outings in the surrounding areas and saw some very interesting sights. Thanks for your hospitality and friendliness. May we have the opportunity of joining you again in the near future for another pleasant holiday?

Dear Patrick and Alice.
It gives us great pleasure to comment on our tour to Namaqualand during 2008. The time you spent planning the tour in advance, selecting excellent accommodation, determining where to find the most diverse flora habitats and your superb knowledge of the west coast flora together with your enthusiasm all contributed to open up to us, not only the colourful masses of Namaqua flora but also the smallest and often unseen species.

Dear Patrick & Alice,
The fragrance of fynbos and Karoo is still so vivid in my thoughts. Thank you for showing us how to explore the secrets of nature. Nothing is too insignificant to stop by...you get as much excited about a dungbeetle as at the majestic Swartberg-pass. Even the tiniest little flower is meticulously dissected. Thanks for a well planned and organized trip always to be remembered!

Dear Patrick & Alice,
Many thanks for the pictures – lovely shots!! We greatly enjoyed your company and that of your guests.

Dear Alice & Patrick,
We thought that we were extremely fortunate from the moment we met our outstanding Nature Touring Guides. You two were fantastic in the way you looked after us and gave us such a memorable trip. The bonus was, as Patrick said, that we started out as strangers and finished as friends. Again, many thanks for everything.
