    Our e-document package includes all local contact details, daily itinerary, airline e-ticket information, service vouchers, and travel tips which should be everything you require to go on your trip.

  • If I need one, who is responsible to obtain my visa?

    You are responsible for obtaining the proper travel documents for the destinations on your itinerary, including having a passport that is valid for at least 6 months before the date of departure and a visa if required.

<p style="text-align:justify">Dear Joe,</p> <p style="text-align:justify">Julie and I just returned from our fantastic Indus arranged 10 day trip to Cape Town and up to Piliansburg at Ivory tree.  The Harbor House was good and all the staff welcoming and helpful.  One of the staff went to a store and got bubble wrap for us to take our wine purchases home with us!  He volunteered to do that.</p> <p style="text-align:justify">The tours were very well organized and our guide, Fiso, was fantastic.</p> <p style="text-align:justify">The Ivory Tree Lodge was a welcome treat.  The chalet was nicely appointed with wonderful mountain views .  We could sit on our beds and see elephants and zebras grazing.  The usual spiders were present but I knew we would encounter them.  We saw 4 of the Big 5------no water buffalo.  Our guide, Karl, was top notch in every way.</p> <p style="text-align:justify">The Emporers Palace complex in Johannesburg was very nice end to our trip.</p> <p style="text-align:justify">Thank you for offering such a wonderful, affordable and very well planned trip to South Africa!  I will certainly be booking with you at Indus again!</p> <p style="text-align:justify">With gratitude,</p> <p style="text-align:justify">Carol Huttner</p>
