Knowledgeable as well as likeable people!
5/5

When it comes to customer centricity, knowledge and know-how, these two people are in front of the line. I have travelled quite a bit and it is difficult to find tour operators that befriend you in this manner - well done to Johan & Elize, you are a shining example for excellent tour operators!!

Unforgetable trip
5/5

Kruger Park, Balule Resort and Panoramic Route - this trip was excellent! Truly unforgettable experience for me, my husband and our two sons. Everything was organized very professional, in spite of this that we started to work on all itinerary at the very last moment. Each day planned carefully, taking into account our needs; if needed changed smoothly so that we could benefit even more than we expected. But above all this what had made this trip so valuable were Elize and Johan - the best guides we have ever had!!!! Very, very impressive – their passion and vast knowledge about the country and wildlife but also personalities, friendliness, respectfulness to other people and nature. Perfect mix, so rare to find. And wonderful stay in Masodini, with Andy taking care of us there, with so many extra precious surprises for our kids during open game safaris and afterwards. All these interesting stories about wildlife, gestures that let us have extraordinary time in South Africa! Elize, Johan, Andy – THANK YOU VERY MUCH. It is really great to be able to spend time among people who love what they do :-). I recommend Flight of the Eagle Tours to everyone!

Exceeded our Expextations!!!!!
5/5

Our trip was incredible, all thanks to the founders and owners of Flight of the Eagle - Johan and Elize.
They took the effort to get to know us, and went to great lengths to accommodate our every need, and customize our trip - thus making our vacation both comfortable and memorable. Johan and Elize are scrupulously honest and extremely knowledgeable. They are warm and friendly, and most important genuine. Johan and Elize are not just tour operators. They are also dedicated honorary rangers, and spend a portion of their free time to deal with pressing issues such rhino conservation. They have a depth of knowledge about the behavior of animals, and the history and culture of this great land. We were left with many priceless memories, and would highly recommend Flight of the Eagles to everyone.

Everything was perfect, from the initial contact, arrangements, safari tour and social interactions. A real pleasure and definitely a company that I will use over and over again for safari tours and that I will recommend for all other interested parties/persons.

I can strongly recommend anybody to use Flight of the Eagle for your Africa experience. They cater for any group or family and they tailor-make your holiday to suit you so that you get the best out of your holiday. Everything, the tour, game drives, catering and accommodation is very professional. Thank you Elize and Johan for a once in a lifetime experience.

Cultural & Historical Experience in Soweto & Pretoria
5/5

Elize & Deline were wonderful hosts who spent two days with us around Soweto & Pretoria, where we fully appreciated their knowledge, which enlightened us to the history & culture of South Africa. We stayed at Lesidi Lodge & enjoyed tribal dancing & a Pan African Buffet. Our second night was spent in the peaceful surroundings of Greenlea "Eco" Guest house. We thoroughly enjoyed our time & felt we came away with a greater understanding of South Africa. Excellent service and a well recommended tour.

#Dream-like experience, # it can't get any better than this.
5/5

I lack the words to describe how lucky and grateful I feel with Flight of the Eagle Safaris & Tours; Johan And Elize absolutely blew my expectations. I felt like royalty, not only I always had a sense of safety and reliability with Johan and Elize, but they also became our friends, I could never get enough of Johan's humor and knowledge, and Elize is a wizard when it comes to making sure everything runs smoothly, to the highest standards, and according to our expectations. The places we went to were beyond amazing: luxurious, friendly, knowledgeable and adventurous! As to the safari itself, if you are looking for and adventure filled with beauty and awe I cannot say enough great things, this. is. it. We not only saw "The Big Five" (Buffalo, Rhino, Elephant, Leopard, Lion), but also had the humbling experience of watching a cheetah devouring its kill from about 5-10 steps away!!! We also saw two mating leopards on a kill (very rare to see leopards together); and saw from up-close a huge, majestic adult lion resting in the inconspicuously in tall grass while other younger lions (big though)and lionesses wandered around us (kind of scary because it was hard to tell their location because of the tall grass). I learned so much I could be a guide at a zoo haha. If that's not enough my family and I took a combined amount of approximately 20,000 pictures!!! that means 20,000 picture-worth sights. I want to go back there so bad, there is no such a thing as feeling home-sick when you are in paradise with two great fun, and personable guides that will undoubtedly become your friends!!!

Truly wonderful, the trip of a lifetime
5/5

Elize and Johan gave us a warm welcome and immediately made us feel at home with our surroundings and with them. They organized a beautiful and varied trip for us. They arranged an open vehicle safari through Kruger Park with Andy who was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate the bush. Elize, Johan, and Andy even provided a barbeque at our Kruger lodge, one in which a hyena, separated from us by a fence, came to visit. Between Kruger and a private reserve, we not only saw the big five; they pointed out and told us about 24 different land animals, 54 different birds, and the plants and insects on which they depend. The trip also included a kind of shore safari around Cape Town led by Richard, another friendly and knowledgeable guide; it included whale-watching (we saw 18), a trip to Seal Island, and a rare breeding penguin colony. Then too, Elize and Johan made history come alive as they guided us to cultural villages, Robben Island, Pretoria, and Soweto. The accommodations throughout were of high quality and often brought us lovely views from our windows as well as comfortable beds and amenities. I can’t say enough about Johan, Elize, and Andy. Their warmth, their willingness to meet every request, their concern for our safety and pleasure were evident throughout. We had wonderful talks on all sorts of subjects. We met them as guides, but we said goodbye as friends.
