A trip of a lifetime! Great vision, planning and execution!
7-Day Kruger Park, Panorama Route & Cape Town Adventure
Working with Red Africa Safaris was a pleasure! We corresponded with Amelia to plan the booking and she was very responsive, detailed and thorough. She went above and beyond with helping answer any questions we had. Once we arrived in South Africa, we explored Kruger National Park and the nearby areas. Our tour guide, Jaco, was fantastic. He was very knowledgable (had stories and information for any occasion) and extremely pleasant. My wife and I felt taken care of and couldn't say enough good things about planning and booking our trip though Red Africa Safaris. The lodging throughout the trip was nice and clean and the lodge near Kruger was beautiful. We hope we can plan another trip with Red Africa Safaris, thank you!

An amazing experience, beyond our expectations.
Red Africa Safaris was exemplary in all respects. Pre-safari communications were timely, precise and comprehensive. Our chosen safari more than lived up to expectations, even though it rained for the first day and a half of the five day trip. A key factor was our guide, Jaco, who had incredibly broad and deep knowledge of the ecosystems we explored and an ability to convey his passion for them. He also took care of us in a way we'd never before experienced, attentive to our dietary and all other needs. Our long talks with him over meals were also a fascinating window into South African culture.

The whole experience was amazing and Red Africa Safaris did everything to make it so.
The communication with the lead person was spot on, detailed with everything that would happen. It all went so smoothly, it made the planning easy. Excellent service from the time we were picked up, to the time we were returned to the airport. Everything in between was over and above what we were expecting. The safaris itself was so unbelievable, an experience of a life time.

Great experience with an excellent guide!
I can only recommend this tour operator. Very kind communication in advance with Amelia, who replied quickly on all requests and provided us with all necessary information in advance. The tour itself was great and our tour guide Jaco was perfect: very kind, very experienced and sharing with us his huge knowledge on South Africa and all animals. He really loves his job. It was very interesting and we were all the time very happy to have booked this tour with Red Africa Safaris. We did not have to care about anything, Jaco took very well care of everything. And he's an excellent cook by the way :-).
Thank you so much again for this amazing trip! We learned so many things about the animals and the birds and we much appreciated all the information, we got during this tour. Looking already forward to finding another trip to book with Red Africa Safaris. Thanks again!

Spectacular experience
We had the most fabulous time Jaco collected us from J’burg and took us to the Skukuza camp, giving us information on the way about the areas and then what we would be doing. There were 8 of us and we had a private full day tour which was spectacular see all the big five in the morning and again in the afternoon, our guide Trevor found a dead impala in a tree and kept returning to see if the leopard that left it their came back. It did and was the highlight of the day, we have some fabulous photos to remember our time and would certainly recommend Red Africa Safari’s. We would all love to return tomorrow.
Only negative was accommodation was a little tired but after a long and exciting day somewhere to sleep was all that was needed.

Excellent safari with superb guides.
Right from the pick up the service and experience lived up to all expectations. Jaco provides a brilliant drive up with commentary and interesting information. Trevor our guide for the drives in the park was also amazing getting us as close as he could to all the animals. The accommodation at skukuza was basic but the beds were comfy and the food good.

An unforgettable experience !!
For anyone considering a tour whilst in South Africa look no further than Red Africa Safaris. I couldn’t have been more satisfied with my dealings with this operator through correspondence prior to, and after booking our trip (private tour for 2 people). Amelia was very prompt and informative answering any questions i had, provided more than required information about our tour and was very interactive selecting our tours criteria to suit our individual wants/needs.
We requested Jaco as our tour guide as we’ve read great things about him, and he far exceeded any expectations we had of him. Jaco was amazing in every sense. Willing to go above and beyond to make sure we had the best tour experience possible at all times. Jaco’s level of expertise, professionalism and passion for conservation was incredible, and made us feel very comfortable and at ease with the tour...
I also believe this company provides great value for money and can uniquely package tours to suit all varieties. Thank you Red Africa Safari for one of the greatest experiences of my life !!
