Pick 'n Mix Your South African Adventures
The internet has changed the way people travel, and most travellers now book their flights online. As a result many travel agents have cut-back or even closed down some of their branches or offices.
Independent travellers like to plot their own course, and combined with the online phenomenon this has naturally led to an abundance of websites in the tourism industry. Some websites offer all-in group packages, some only offer international or local flights, some offer fly/drive packages, and other sites are great for booking international accommodation or car rentals.
The Marvic Tours and Tales website (http://www.marvic.biz) focuses on the nitty gritty of an exotic destination ... the local experience.

Guests can simply pick 'n mix the experiences they wish to partake in.
Special interests are also catered for in daily activities such as cage diving with Great White Sharks, whale watching, spring wildflower spectacles, birding and
extreme activities like bungy jumping, quad biking, surfing, hiking, sea-kayaking and lots more.
Travellers wishing to fill a couple of days in their itinerary can also choose one of the extended adventures that comprise of a few days / nights, which include accommodation and transport. These adventures extend a little further down the track ... some head east along the breathtaking Garden Route towards the Addo Elephant Park and others head north towards the spectacular Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.
