Our honeymoon was seamless!
Greatest Africa helped us have a seamless honeymoon from start to finish. We had originally made reservations at 3 different accommodations ourselves, but Greatest Africa offered to take over our itinerary for us so that rather than us having to confirm with three different hotels, they instead did all the confirmations for us. As well, we were able to schedule excursions and transfers with them which made our transition from the craziness of our wedding, to the ignorance of traversing another country, that much more relaxing and enjoyable. Vanessa's communication was prompt and professional, including scheduling a last minute excursion we inquired about. There was a small mishap in regards to which days we were at which accommodation but Greatest Africa fully understood their mistake and was quick to give us complementary airport transfers to make up for this. THAT is top notch service and keeps customers coming back. We will definitely use Greatest Africa again if we do decide to come back to South Africa, and have already recommended our friends to do the same.
Thank you for making our honeymoon so memorable!

First Visit to Game Reserve
After visiting SA for several years we decided that it was time for a game drive. We booked Lion's Valley through Safari Bookings dealing with Vanessa. Vanessa sourced the right setting and cost for our requirements. She was attentive and knowledgeable and I would recommend this company wholeheartedly. Would definately use this company again, all went according to plan.
Good response time, clear information
Very good software generating a clear itinerary with tourist related information.
Expensive but the final result is ok.
Reply from Greatest Africa
Posted on Nov 23, 2016Many thanks for your rating. We specialise in 4-5* luxury African vacations and you are correct in saying that the properties you enjoyed were at the upper end of the market, particularly The Outpost. It's also worth noting that an african safari is one of the most expensive holiday experiences in the world. Greatest Africa prides itself on our knowledge and service, as well as the portfolio of hotels and lodges we carefully select and offer to our clients. We hope you return to Africa and can be of assistance in the future to create an itinerary more suited to our budget.
With best regards,
Richard Hilton, Founding MD

More than expected
Recently, my wife and I experienced the most wonderful of adventures in South Africa thanks to Greatest Africa and their Senior Travel Consultant Vanessa Walker. Due to our work constraints, we had to arrange this trip at the last moment with little research. Fortunately, we found Greatest Africa and Vanessa. Vanessa quickly put a package together focusing on our desire to see as much safari wildlife as possible. She expertly arranged stays at three game preserves and all transportation within South Africa. Things went so smoothly other than trying to remember what day it was (we quickly lost all sense of time), we had nothing to concern ourselves with other than enjoying the experience. The preserves were beyond our expectations. Wonderful accommodations, wonderful food, wonderful people and of course wonderful wildlife. If you are fortunate enough to be considering a trip to this wonderful country, we don't believe you could do any better than working with Greatest Africa and Vanessa.

An Unbelievable Experience!
Our first trip to South Africa was arranged by Greatest Africa and we could not have been happier with our experience--it surpassed our wildest expectations. We visited 3 game reserves in 11 days. Everything was exceptional from the 2 daily safaris, the accommodations, food, staff and transfers between airports and reserves.
The staff at www.greatestafrica were prompt in returning emails and arranged a safari experience we will never forget. If you haven't been to Africa you must put it on your bucket list. Everyday there took my breath away!
