Excellent both in the planning and during the trip
Sandra was helpful and responsive from the moment we started planning and throughout our trip.
She went above and beyond what we could ever expect at all times and we cannot recommend her enough.
If you are looking for a tour planner/adviser/operator stop looking - you have just found the one you need.

Sandra Nicol was there for every need.
We could not be more pleased with the quick responses and suggestions from Sandra Nicol for our African Safari. The Safari Lodge she
suggested was beautiful with top notch service. She didn't stop at only booking the reservations but she also checked us in to our flights.
If there was something we needed we would text and we would get instant answers. She even located a camera we left in a car and
returned it to us. You could not have anticipated such good service or gotten better service.

Very efficient tour operator
Sandra organised our trip to Mabula Game Lodge, which we enjoyed very much. She answered my queries on the trip very quickly and was extremely helpful. Everything worked like clockwork. We really enjoyed Mabula Game Lodge and the safaris were very good. Our driver, TK, who took us to the Lodge and back again to the airport was on time and very good company. Very pleased with the whole experience.

Amazing, excellent communication and service
Sandra is a true professional and her communication and level of detail from our initial enquiry was exceptional.
We were really impressed with Elephant Plains Lodge in Sabi Sands. It really was more than we expected, from the accommodation to the staff and food, everything was just perfect.
Thank you so much for your wonderful service, it has really been a great experience for both of us and we have recommended you to all our friends and family and look forward to travelling with you again in future :)

Fast, efficient, polite and was an expert on safari tours
Excellent service from Sandra. Within less than an hour I had several options to choose from and I was provided with all the details, costs and recommendations. It was incredibly fast and efficient and Sandra thought of everything - including even small things like arranging for meals on route. I could not have asked for more. Other companies could learn from the wonderful customer service - it was perfect and I would use the company again. Highly recommended to anyone. If you want someone to trust to deliver your holiday for you - then Traipsing is it.

Communicative, knowledgeable tour company that truly cares
Working with Sandra at Traipsing Africa was an absolute pleasure. She clearly and promptly laid out our lodge options when I inquired on SafariBookings.com and even reached out to some of the lodges personally to see if they could accommodate our group of 3. We ended up opting for a beautiful 4-day safari at Safari Plains lodge in Mabula Game Reserve and were so glad we took her advice on booking this place. I’ve been on several safaris now, and this might’ve been my favorite! Such great value for money, and even better, Traipsing Africa takes all of the stress out of it by arranging round-trip transfers and everything at the lodge. I felt supported knowing Sandra was available via email and WhatsApp throughout our stay! I would certainly book through this tour company again, and urge those looking for a company who truly cares and will be available throughout your stay to book with them too! I prefer them to those larger companies who look at you like just another booking and don’t give you as much personalization or attention.

Sandra is the best travel agent one could ask for!
This is the first time I used a travel agent for my trip and I'm really glad I did! From curating safari lodges to flights and immigration logistics, Sandra was on top of everything and helping me with every issue we encountered, especially since post covid travel wasn't smooth sailing. We had a safari experience that we will remember for the rest of our life. Thank you Sandra!

Efficient, friendly
Booked a 3 night safari to Umkumbe bush lodge, Sabi sands, outer Kruger via Traipsing Africa. Easy to book, able to change dates and traveller numbers. We felt the trip was great value for money. Transferring funds was also done with a minimum of fuss (always a fraught experience when transferring money overseas). We loved our stay at Umkumbe Bush Lodge.
Trip also included transfers there and back with Just Transfers. Again an easy and smooth transaction.
Thank you Sandra for helping us with a great trip.
Highly recommend
