On 18 July 2025, both our Cape Town and Namibia offices came together to celebrate 25 years of Terra Nova Tours at the Cape Town City Hall. From our humble beginnings in 2000, founded by Christine and Debbie, to where we are today, this journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Thank you to everyone who’s been part of our story.
Thank you for being part of the Terra Nova Tours journey. Whether you’ve been with us from the beginning or just joined our network, we’re grateful for your continued support, and we look forward to many more milestones ahead!
