Thoughtful choices of accommodation and activities
Michelle crafted an excellent and thoughtful itinerary for our three weeks in Southern Africa, including safaris at Sabi Sands, Klaserie and a day trip into Botswana (Chobe) from Victoria Falls. Arathusa Lodge in Sabi was great, with views of the watering hole and lots of visiting wildlife from our bedroom window. Klaserie Drift was a tranquil place to unwind and with all the creature comforts. The complimentary laundry service was much appreciated! We ticked off the obligatory Big 5 in the first few days on safari, saw lots of other animals and learned a lot from the informative guides. All the internal flights and transfers worked seamlessly to ensure a stress free holiday. The Blyde River Canyon and Victoria Falls are a must to add to a safari adventure. Definitely recommend Ilala Lodge, where you can see the spray from the falls whilst enjoying breakfast on the terrace. We also explored Cape Town and surrounds before self-driving the Garden Route. Thank you Michelle for pulling it all together and all the invaluable advice. The Travelkey app was very useful too.

helpfull and professional
Lodges were perfect and the guides very professional.
great experience
Amazing Botswana safari trip organised by Explore & Travel Africa.
We found Michelle at Explore & Travel Africa very helpful in arranging our wonderful safari in Botswana. After listening to our requirements she provided different safari options, and also answered our various questions about undertaking a mobile (camping) safari. She planned the perfect trip for us around the Chobe National Park in Botswana. The mobile safari included three different sites over the nine days trip. It was well organised, had excellent staff including an expert guide with great tracking skills, good meals, and the luxury camping included single and double beds and an ensuite bathroom. We got to see all the main animals and birds in the national park. We could not have been happier with the way Michelle communicated with us, the trip planning was first class and so thankful for this unique experience. We recommend Explore & Travel Africa to anyone interested in a memorable safari trip.

Knowledgeable, responsive, and a pleasure to deal with
We traveled to Kruger in South Africa, Vic Falls, Hwange in Zimbabwe, and the northern Serengeti in Tanzania for a 3 week multi camp trip over June and July 2024 and used The Explore and Travel Company to put together the bookings and logistics for us. We live in Australia and wanted to deal with someone local and after intense research decided upon this company located in Cape Town. We dealt directly with the Director of the company, Michelle, and couldn’t have asked for a better experience all round. My 22 year old niece did all the initial enquiries and communication and was extremely impressed with how well Michelle listened to and understood our needs and gave appropriate expert advice. She gave us choices that matched our strict criteria and our budget and helped us decide on the best camps for us with great patience as we peppered her with multiple questions over both Zoom meetings and emails. Michelle kept all her promises, was extremely knowledgeable and was absolutely lovely to deal with. She really went above and beyond to find out the answers to our questions if she did not know by contacting the properties themselves to ensure we got the most trustworthy information. All this care and attention to detail resulted in a most wonderful trip where properties lived up to or exceeded our expectations, ground and air partners were reliable and professional and gave us great value for money. Absolutely nothing went amiss and our experiences were very special and bespoke. We also loved the digital itinerary technology that Michelle used that we could download to our phones and simply check offline anything we wanted to know. We could not more highly recommend Michelle and her company and we would engage her again in a heat-beat.
