Always African Safari Guru
I have used Matthew as tour operator/guide several times and always the perfect result, always going that extra mile to serve the clients 120%. Matthew will do what ever is in his power to make your stay the best holiday in Africa. Always ready with soft drinks, cold beer...he does the barbeque if you want or select the luxury lodge, if thats what you are looking for. The Krüger tours, the panoramic route, its all good and Matthew will make sure that you get the holiday of your lifetime. Good prices, perfect service, nothing is too small or big for him. Thank you Matthew for all the tours we have done, will be back :-)

Outstanding Service
I found the guru on Trip Advisor and from first contact was impressed with Matt's service. He helped me plan my brief opportunity to do a Safari. Met me at airport arranged accommodation in Johannesburg at Hetherset Guest House then took me to Pilanesburg NP where I stayed at Black Rhino Lodge. Matt's recommendations and organisation were faultless, and he is very warm relationally. I commend him to you for your Safari experience.

Fantastic day-trip safari to Pilanesberg
With a very short notice Matthew managed to arrange a day-trip safari from Johannes to Pilanesberg. Were picked up by 4 o'clock in the morning, drove to Pilanesberg and had a lot of fantastic sights of the animals. Matthew really showed his knowledge about the animals and were it was most likely to see them. The best part was when we had a good sighting, he turned off the engine and gave us the time to enjoy the animal and the sight.
I can only recommend African Safari Guru and Matthew. He gave us the perfect day.

Great experience!
Matthew was a great host! Very knowledgable, friendly and available. With all my requirements, budget and goals, he was able to organize a great trip that overachieved my expectations (even though I started plan very last minute). Highly recommended!!

A dream vacation come true
African Safari Guru was able to find a great lodge in a busy time of the year that exceeded my expeciations at the price I wanted. He even arranged all transportation. Without ASG I would have not enjoyed myself as I did. I recomend ASG and will use him next time I want to do this trip.

Coordinated a great trip for us on very short notice
We only had a couple weeks to coordinate a safari, we contacted African Safari Guru, described what we thought we were looking to do, but not having been to SA before we needed to have an expert give us some suggestions. ASG was that expert. They handled the transportation, booked a fantastic resort, and also worked with me to do a couple one-off day tours. In summary, an organization that knows how to service, is flexible to schedules, and knowledgeable of the areas and experience opportunities, to make for a really nice trip. I will definitely use African Safari Guru again!

Great Trip to S. Africa
Matthew arranged our trip to South Africa, Zambia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. Everything worked as planned. Matthew greatly helped us find excellent lodges both in Zambia and Botswana. We highly recommend African Safari Guru Tours.
Drive to our Lodge went by in a swif.
Matt was waiting as advised in email. Useful tips, lovely sandwiches made the 3 hours trip to the lodge go by in no time. Next time we'll book a tour with him.
Great guy, super driver what more do you want.

Overall a professional service with customer service a priority
Matthew from African safari guru was excellent from start to finish. Communication was key from such a long distance and it was very clear what needed to be done and if there were any questions he was quick at answering them. His recommendations were on target and he provided personal service beyond what normal operators would do. We are returning to South Africa again and have already used his expertise and booked more adventures this time around. You will not be disappointed with his level of service.
