Amazing
We would like to thank Traipsing Africa's Safaris (Sandra), for recommending Tambuti Lodge.
Myself and my husband, had an incredible weekend in the bush!
The hospitality received from everyone, the drives, delicious food, cozy accommodation,
and the romantic dinner, made for an unforgettable experience.
We are very grateful for the memories, and are looking forward to many more!...
It was the perfect escape to recharge and unwind.

Prompt, professional and considerate. My safari holiday exceeded all my expectations!
Sandra promptly provided me with options and worked with me to massage these into an itinerary that met my requirements. I appreciated the professional manner in which Sandra stayed in touch with me leading up to my holiday including speaking to me by phone to run through any last minutes questions I had. I appreciated Sandra telling me that she is particularly interested in ensuring that females travelling solo feel safe and have the best experiences. With my trip, these goals were certainly achieved! My holiday went without any hiccups and at all times I felt safe with the local drivers and they made a point of ensuring I felt safe! I met some lovely people.
I chose to visit three different national parks so that I could experience more of what South Africa has to offer. The lodges suggested by Sandra exceeded all of my expectations and the standard of accommodation, meals and safari drives were fantastic! In addition, the staff were so friendly and orientated to ensure you had the best experience and wanted for nothing! Each lodge was unique (Sabi Sands - Arathusa Safari Lodge, Pilanesberg National Park - Tambuti Lodge, and Madikwe National Park - Motswiri Lodge). It's impossible to choose one over the other!
The decision to have a luxury and indulgent safari holiday was also my 60th Birthday gift to me as I was celebrating this milestone whilst in South Africa. Sandra organised, unbeknownst to me, for each of the lodges to help me celebrate my birthday. I was treated to the most wonderful birthday cakes and singing from the local staff. These personal events contributed to a memorable birthday and added to my overall experience of my safari adventure and holiday in South Africa! Thank you Sandra for all the beautiful surprises!
Overall, I chose Traipsing Africa Safari's and Tours to organise my holiday because I was overwhelmed with the options and how to pull a holiday together. they had such positive reviews from other clients, that I felt I just had to approach them. Sandra did a fantastic job and took all the logistical organising and worry away from me. I just had to sit back and enjoy which Sandra kept emphasising to me was all I needed to do because she was taking care of everything else! I'm extremely pleased to have chosen Traipsing Africa Safaris and Tours to arrange my holiday in South Africa and have already recommended them to friends. I will definitely call on Sandra's expertise to arrange future South African Safaris for me. Many thanks Sandra to you and your team for THE most wonderous holiday!

Excellent service, nothing too much trouble
We booked Tanbuti Lodge in Pilansberg for a 2 night stay in 2024.
After reviewing a multitude of different options and tour operators we decided to book with Traipsing Africa's Safaris. We chose them because:
a) They answered our initial request promptly
b) The quality of information provided was excellent
c) they answered all of our additional questions - nothing seemed too much trouble
d) The cost was extremely reasonable compared to other operators.
We were told that the lodge was 5* luxury and it really was. Everything was just perfect, from the welcome, the hospitality, the food and of course the safari
We requested and were sent driving directions to the lodge also
We would have no hesitation recommending this tour operator and if we do another safari will definately use them again

Amazing!
Our holiday was great thanks to Traipsing Africa! Sandra helped us really good by helping us pick the right accommodation and flights which were the most convenient for our stay.
The accommodation was very neat and clean and everything was available. The food at the Buffalo Rock camp in the Kruger Park was great, including the chef. Due to various allergies we could not eat everything, but the chef had no problem to take that in consideration and if needed cook something else. Overal it was a great experience, far above our expectations!

Amazing support and essential for our trip!
Sandra was just amazing in helping us organize our Honeymoon. We knew vey little about South Africa and she helped us out in defining the WHOLE trip, not only the safari part of it. It was just perfect! She would reply any day, any time, just giving us the confidence and support we needed. Defnatly recommending to friends and other travellers.

Don’t hesitate to use.
Sandra from Traipsing Africa's Safaris was amazing. She provided a few options and differing price points and gave some helpful suggestions. Compared to the other quotes her was amazing. We got to go to a small luxury lodge for the same or less than others quoted for good but not as great options.
Communication was perfect. The drivers to and from the lodge were such good fun.
Sandra also provided some helpful info for the rest of our trip despite us organising this ourselves.
Absolutely brilliant and would 100% use her again,
Robin
