What an incredible opportunity I had to travel with Embrace South Africa Tours. Deon and his team, work with such care and expertise to create a life-giving experience to their fellow travelers. All details were planned and executed gracefully and when the inevitable hiccup happens while traveling, the team was flexible in adapting the itinerary and supporting those traveling with them. I will forever remember Deon’s kindness and the wisdom he shared about his country with me.

Dr. Loren Kerns - Associate Dean of Academic Operations – Portland Seminary, George Fox University

On the recommendation of one of our alumni, we took a large group of nearly 60 Doctor of Ministry students with Portland Seminary, George Fox University for an educational program in Cape Town. Embrace South Africa tours provided a first-class food, transit, and lodging experience. Not only did they handle many of the logistics, they also helped us make connections with Christian leaders in a wide variety of contexts. Most of all, they hosted us with a genuine spirit of hospitality. We cannot recommend Embrace South Africa tours highly enough.

Everyone in our groups loved experiencing the trips with Deon and we all considered him a friend after our time. He worked closely with me to make sure our itinerary was suited perfectly for our group and our goals for the trip.

He also is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom on the story and culture of South Africa. If you want to truly embrace South Africa and make the most of your time, start with Embrace South Africa Tours!

Before working with Embrace South Africa Tours, I had some preconceived ideas about South Africa. By part of their tour group (through our seminary for a week) my understanding of the history and culture of the people of Cape Town and South Africa increased dramatically. 

As part of our tour Deon and team helped us by finding outstanding speakers who met our academic needs and gave us great context for what we saw and experienced. The chosen walks and travels were beneficial in both personal and professional capacities. I highly recommend working with Embrace South Africa!

I have had the pleasure of taking two tours with Embrace South Africa Tours. Each time I have found a new love for South Africa and her people. I am so grateful for the work of Embrace South Africa tours and their willingness to share the stories of the people of South Africa and allowing us to experience the beautiful and enriched cultures of South Africa. I hope to return and see more of what South Africa has to offer the world.

Sammie Braxton - North Carolina

I have traveled to many places all over the world as a leader of youth and adult groups. Our trips to South Africa with Deon Kitching remain the very best by far! The care for everyone, the attention to detail, and the relationships that are built are outstanding! It is, indeed, a trip of a lifetime that is not to be missed!

Rachelle and Rob Kerr – Atlanta, Georgia

Embrace South Africa Tours comes highly recommended! Our guide, Deon, exceeded all expectations during our 4-day tour of Cape Town. Recommended by a friend, Deon's wealth of knowledge ensured we experienced the city's beauty to the fullest. He tailored the tour to our interests and was punctual every day for pick-up. Should we return to South Africa, we would undoubtedly choose Embrace South Africa Tours again.
