The 33-year-old said: "They have a three-Test series in South Africa, and I think one away win is reachable.
"There's a ton of negative press circumventing saying regarding the number of wounds they will have; however, when the crew was honestly reported, I took a gander at it, and I felt that the field will be areas of strength for genuinely great.
Something doesn't add up about Wales that everybody keeps in touch with them off when everything is on the line. However, we are superior to individuals' thought processes.
"South Africa will be scorching top picks to win the Test series, yet I genuinely do fancy Wales for one triumph.
"It will be the hardest summer visit we've had for quite a while, yet on the off chance that Wales can get one triumph out of three, that will find success."
Supervisor Pivac declared a 33-man crew for the South African visit last month before this week, adding 21-year-old prop Harri O'Connor to his positions.
Grains experienced a 22-21 loss against minnows Italy in the last round of the current year's Guinness Six Nations, yet previous flanker Warburton; a double-cross Championship victor in 2012 and 2013, accepts they can return quickly in style this late spring.
"It's an unusual one - I haven't seen Wales lose to Italy since I was a young man, so you have extremely pleased records against specific groups," he added.
"I was so exceptionally frustrated as a Welshman and as a fan, only destroyed for the players and mentors since I know them and I work with them as a player and as a mentor, so you know how much exertion you put into those.
"Yet, what doesn't kill you makes you more grounded. I committed many errors in my profession, much more regrettable than they did in the Six Nations.
"In this way, I believe if Wales can return and have a great, good mission in South Africa and afterward leisurely beginning structure towards the World Cup.
"I'm dependably glass half-full and think things occur for an explanation - I figure it will hone the psyche of the Welsh group, and they will return better."

Warburton's positive attitude traversed over all parts of the Welsh group as the rugby symbol considered the hardships Pivac keeps on looking as a global mentor.
He said: "Grains have taken on a somewhat unique style. I worked with [Pivac] for a year as a mentor, and I truly loved him, which is why Wales has kept confidence in him, and it's an opportunity for growth for everyone in question in that Welsh group.
"Indeed, even somebody like Warren Gatland, who's been massive progress in Wales, there were a few calm a very long time in those ten years too, and afterward individuals would require his head.
"I know it's extreme for the Welsh public. However, I say: be a piece patient, and we will be in a time of progress.
"We probably won't have quick achievement; however, on the off chance that you're setting up the right structure blocks, we ought to have returned to where we were in a couple of years."
