Last minute request, absolutely amazing results!
This trip to South Africa was our first international trip as a family and a gift from me to my mom and my two oldest nephews. The safari was the main event planned for our trip and I was a little anxious as I had planned it last minute and I was not entirely sure how it would work out. Justin was amazing in helping me plan each intricate detail and in assuring me that we would be okay and be able to do what we planned. With that being said...
We had an absolutely amazing time!! From start to finish it was greater than we could have ever imagined. To be able to get accommodations in travel and lodging the way we did on such short notice shows just how much of a travel agent genius you are and speaks to the amazing relationships you have cultivated. Our driver to and from the reserve was very welcoming and very gracious. He described every part of the journey to us, pointing out the various farms and plants and trees along the way. As we entered Kruger Park, he slowed and pointed out animals as well as stopped when we spotted some on our own. On our way into the park we saw 3 of the Big Five and were more than ready for to see the rest Kruger had to offer us.
Arriving at MalaMala, we were in awe of the beauty of the lodging itself. We were introduced to Marka, our host and ranger, and from the moment we met him until the moment we left, he was an amazing help. Steeped in knowledge and humble to a fault, his excitement coupled with our own carried our entire trip. Sometimes we had a hard time determining who was more excited, us or him, as we worked to spot the various animals and tracked our favorites. Marka took me on a bush walk where I got to experience the plants up close, finding natural toothbrushes and toothpicks as well as learning which plants were the most dangerous and which could be of help in case of sickness. We spotted and encountered all of the Big Five at least three times in two days. There was not a dull moment at any point. MalaMala itself was beyond our wildest dreams! Baboons playing and Nyala grazing outside of our windows, the scenery a sigh to awaken to, and the songs of the birds a welcomed melody. The rooms were cozy and very roomy with every comfort desired and the staff was absolutely amazing. (I know I sound like I'm gushing but it really was just THAT wonderful!!). The food was delicious and each night dinner around the bonfire was accompanied by tribal song and dance which added a warmth to the atmosphere that even the fire couldn't touch.
Overall, we had an absolutely amazing time at MalaMala and in Kruger Park and I know that when I return, I will return there by way of PaperJet Travel. They are truly a God send and I thank Him for them because there is no way our trip would have been as much of a success as it was without the. Also, they gave amazing recommendations for Soweto tours and we had a great time through them as well. They are phenomenal at what they do and I cannot wait to work with them again!!! :D

Fantastic
Our experience with PaperJet was perfect, spectacular. From the first contact, Justin Perumal was extremely solicitous, clear and detailed on all the information, including tips on other parts of our trip that had nothing to do with Safari. He did a perfect analysis of what we wanted and offered us some options, emphasizing the one that would be the best in his opinion. And he hit it right !! Our safari in Madikwe Hills was phenomenal. Our transfers from Johannesburg (round trip) were accurate! Absolutely nothing to complain about. Best wishes to Paper Jet and its employees.

Absolute Perfection!
From start to finish, our experience with PaperJet Travel was extraordinary. Justin was clear, timely, informative, and intuitive in all communication. He created for us a fantastic itinerary, including leisure time in Durban, a Sani-Pass tour into Lesotho, and an absolutely unforgettable, world-class Safari at Phinda. Justin offered a variety of options tailored to our personal desires and needs, then fine tuned our choices into a fulfilling, top notch experience. He personally handled many of our transports, including extemporaneous city tours full of his personal insights, and saved the day with an emergency shopping trip for an extra camera battery. Justin shared with us his knowledge and passion, fueling our interest and enthusiasm. His guidance and attention to detail permitted us to feel relaxed and prepared at every turn. It was a pleasure to be treated like like royalty and family simultaneously, and to have what amounted to be a marvelous experience, clearly exceeding our expectations. Absolute perfection!

Can't speak highly enough
My family just came back from South Africa. Justin was responsible for four fantastic days. We stayed for three nights at Elephant Plains and one night at Hippo Hollow. He arranged for everything, including transfers and tickets to Moholoholo, Hoedspruit Endangered Species Center and Elep´hant Whispers.
We forgot out iPad at Elephant Plains and he went above and beyond to help us get it back.
He gave us his private number to contact him while in SA and was very quick to answer anything.
I really hope to come back and use PaperJet again!

Fantastic Travel Agent
We just returned from an epic trip to South Africa and we give 5 stars to PaperJet Travel Agency! We spent hours on the phone with Justin, from PaperJet, for many weeks planning this trip. He did a fantastic job helping us to create the ideal trip for our interests. Not only did he put in the extra time and effort to ensure we had the ideal itinerary, but he also went out of his way to purchase a South African history book I wanted and have it waiting at our hotel when we arrived! He also checked in with us while we were on the trip to make sure everything was going smoothly. We would highly recommend booking your trip with PaperJet. We will be referring all of our family and friends to Justin, as they all now want to go to South Africa! Thank you PaperJet for all your assistance. Our trip to South Africa was the most amazing adventure we've ever been on!

Absolutely First Class planning and execution!
I traveled with Paperjet for the first time this May. All my communications beforehand were promptly answered, very detailed, and very friendly! Everything went perfectly, from the safari preparation information, the overseas payment, and the transfers to and from the Lodge (Leopard Mountain). The vehicle used was modern, clean and well-stocked; the driver was friendly, careful, and a good tour guide along the way!. The safari experience itself was marred by bad weather, but the Lodge made us as comfortable as possible and they were well-prepared. Leopard Mountain was lovely and the service very attentive. The food was fine and the atmosphere was warm and friendly, especially important because I was traveling alone. Ryan, our guide, was experienced, knowledgeable and very committed. Overall, it was a great safari experience and I would highly recommend Paperjet for any safari services in Kwazulu Natal.

Family trip of a lifetime
From the first day planning our trip six mo. ago to the check in call during our trip, Justin was amazing to work with and and ensured every aspect of the trip was exceptional. Customizing our trip to include our areas of interest and the type of accommodations we requested instead of just a standard out of the box itinerary with a large group was a huge benefit of working with Justin. Our personnel tours, guides, and transfers were first rate and lodges/boutique inns were perfect. I would highly recommend Justin and Paperjet Travel!!

Great safari!
Smooth sailing and a great safari trip through PaperJet! Justin was prompt in communicating and putting together a great package. Ask them what you want and they will try to make it happen at a good price. The lodge was luxuriously amazing and we had a great ranger and tracker for our stay. Madikwe is a reserve but it was still large enough where we had to track the animals and we were able to go off road. Even though it was winter, we still saw a variety of animals including: lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, kudu, cheetahs, rhinos, one impatient buffalo and many others. I would highly recommend this safari!
