Celebrating 25 Years of Terra Nova Tours

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.
