"South Africa has it all! Of course it has the wildlife, and our core business is the safari, but there is so much more to it than that. For example, the fascinating social and political history, the huge clear night skies for astronomers, world-class coral reefs for divers, fantastic beaches, brilliant food and wine, glorious golf courses, stunning and varied scenery and much more. And we can take you to special places well off the tourist trail, because we have the in-depth local knowledge and contacts"

The 2by2 Team

We are a specialist tour operator focussed exclusively on South Africa and its neighbouring countries of Zambia, Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique and Mauritius. We know the region intimately, so if you have a specific question SOMEONE in our office is bound to know the answer. Or if not, we have the local contacts to research it very quickly.

All our sales staff have travelled to South Africa, so can advise you on your holiday from their own personal experiences. Our local ground handlers are owner-managed businesses who share our passion for Southern Africa, with an extremely high level of commitment to ensure your holiday meets your expectations. Our sales and marketing office is based in Hertfordshire England. We also have representation in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban.

Our Travelling Choices On a Private Tour you will be met at each regional airport by your own friendly and experienced driver/guide who will arrange all your transfers, activities and day excursions. Your personal host will also share with you the hidden treasures of each region, often not discovered by independent travellers with limited time and knowledge, including his/her extensive knowledge of the animals of the region. Your host will do all the driving, which means you will not need to drive in a country where distances are vast and often under-estimated.

On a Resort Holiday you will be met at each regional airport and transferred to your hotel or lodge. You will be collected for all activities and day excursions you have booked or which are included in your package. Our representative is only a phone call away should you require any assistance. On a Fly / Drive Holiday you will be met at each regional airport for the collection of your hire car. You will be given a Travel Planner, with maps of the area, to guide your independent travel. On a Group Tour you will be met at the airport and transferred to your hotel prior to the commencement of your scheduled small group tour. Your tour will be fully escorted by an experienced guide and include comprehensive sightseeing at each destination.

Our History & Values We are a family owned company, with strong ties to Southern African. Our founders, Claire Herbst Farley and Russell Farley, were born in South Africa of British parentage and have made it their passion to share their intimate knowledge of the country and love of its people, history and wildlife with you through their unique programme of privately hosted holidays and safaris. They take you to places they themselves have enjoyed over the years and ensure you don't miss the "must-see" sights.

Comprehensive itineraries have been lovingly developed to share both the highlights of South Africa and many of its lesser know treasures. Whichever itinerary you choose, you will be hosted by a friendly local guide to add to the authentic nature of your travel experience. Based on strong traditions of quality, value for money and excellent customer service, we care passionately that you have a wonderful travel experience and return with memories of a lifetime! We also care about South Africa and its peoples. Each of our holidays support a community-based self-help scheme and we take care to ensure our activities are low impact and eco-friendly.
