A boyhood dream come true.
Wow!! I have travelled a lot. This was one of my top 5. We saw everything, up close and often.
RAS do the boring things, like organise the trip, exceedingly well. Speedily and efficiently.
Our guide, Jaco, what a hero! He saved our trip and went the extra mile and kilometer to make it
as enjoyable as possible. His enthusiasm was infectious, his knowledge enlightening and his company, thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you Jaco, eat well!!

A real trip of a lifetime, for learning, understanding, appreciating wildlife as a natural gift
Highly recommended it anyone. Our tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable.. Wouldn't recommended to see Sth Africa and Kruger Park without a guide that has Jaco experience, passion and professionalism regarding wildlife and tourism.
Seen all the important animals in our safari and the guided tours in the way for Kruger was excellent too - ended up in a most beautiful waterfall that I couldn't help myself but has to swim in it.
Looking fwd to Jaco sharing some of the pics he took of our trip.

Organised, reliable and knowledgable and went out of their way to give us a great experience.
The reason I chose Red Africa Safaris above all the other companies was the great communication I got from Amelia who responded to every question (and I had lots) in a timely and professional manner. Our guide for the Safari - Jaco was professional, courteous and supremely knowledgeable. Our safari was great because of all the sights and animals we saw, but also because of his company and the way he shared his experiences with us. I can't imagine how any other company could provide a better experience and I truly hope to come back and many more trips with Red Africa Safaris.
Great Experience
I had a private tour guide with Jaco and I spent the whole five days with him. With Jaco I got a nice cool friend and we connected also through Facebook and I told him to let me know when he will be visiting Europe.
Great experience!

An awesome, inspiring Safari, lead by a knowledgeable, sensitive and efficient Guide ......
We had looked forward to the Safari , knowing it was a dream coming true, but almost as soon as we met our Guide, and chatted during our first day's driving, we knew we were in for an amazing time!
In the lead up to Departure, the communication between Red Africa and ourselves was very prompt and all our questions were answered graciously.
The service and attention we received was friendly and generous and all our accommodation was of a high standard.
Our safari was built around our original requests, and we found a lot of effort had gone into ensuring our hopes and personal interests were met. It more than met our expectations and we hope to one day plan another Safari with Red Africa! Thank you very much for such a marvelous Safari!!

Fantastic Experience. Fantastic Owner.
This was beyond our expectations. Jaco -- either the owner or one of the owners of Red Africa -- picked us up at the airport at 10:30 at night, drove all night, and made sure we caught the morning light. I'm a photographer and was getting footage for a client on a tight schedule, and Jaco bent over backwards to accommodate my me. I have future work here in South Africa, and plan to bring my son next time. Jaco may well bring his son (same age) so they can reflect on their different cultures and also have that jaw-dropping opportunity to see animals in the wild. (It was that great of an experience.)
The vehicle we traveled in was large and comfortable -- Jaco even provided pillows and blankets to nap as we drove thru the night.
Accommodations were excellent at the eco-lodge he chose overlooking a river with wild boars, hippos, and crocodiles wandering by riverside. Food was even better. Staff there accommodating, friendly and very excited to be able to show people the ecology and the animals there. We even had a morning river cruise to see crocs and native birds.
Stand-out meal was a BBQ riverside where we heard a leopard growling after dinner while having an after dinner drink by lantern light. And then we headed out for a night safari by full moon.
You'll make memories for a lifetime on this tour.

It doesn't get more real than this
RedAfrica hosted us with great care and service orientation. I wanted a real experience and, from the people to the safari tours, I can say I was fully satisfied. No manicured lodges and bush, no perfectly traced routes, we really went into the wild and experienced great things. Our dinner by Oliphant River, the river safari and the daily outings all contributed to make this a memorable time.
On a personal note, we enjoyed spending time with Jaco, the company's owner, Geo and I.P. Jaco went above and beyond to make sure everything worked fine, driving countless hours, always in great mood and sharing his knowledge and love for nature. Dankie!
