Good rates, scenic routes and reliability are priorities for Asian travellers, according to Rhino Shuttles. The company operates door-to-door and airport shuttles in Gauteng, long-distance shuttles to the Greater Kruger area, Welgevonden, Madikwe, tailor-made tours and other services.

Co-founder and Co-owner, Liby Nel, remarks: “In our experience, Asian travellers are sensitive to fees, trying to obtain the best value for their money.

“Some of the younger travellers want to go bungee jumping at the Orlando Towers or do the Magaliesberg Canopy tour, displaying an interest in more adventurous outings. They are also interested in the nightlife on offer in Johannesburg.

“We have noticed a need for them to feel they are safe and in the good hands of trustworthy service providers. They sometimes consider the self-drive option but most of them opt for travelling with a reputable transport provider, which will ensure greater safety, prevent them getting lost in dubious areas and allow them to take maximum advantage of local knowledge. It is very important for them that transfer operators are punctual.”
