What a great experience !
What a great experience we had with Tanja / AST.
From the very first contact, she put together a tailor-made travel plan built on our wishes and dreams. She had plenty of very helpful suggestions and/or alternatives if a specific item was not possible. This ultimately resulted in a travel plan that we felt 100% happy with. We were more than impressed with the digital itinerary that we subsequently received - complete and impressive. During our trip she kept in touch by whatsapp to make sure everything was all right. Loved it !
Still full of all the impressions, we now look back on an unforgettable first time (safari) trip that truly fulfilled 100% (and more) what we had hoped for in advance. I cannot think of one thing that was missing. Also on behalf of my co-travelers Frank, Heleen and Petra ......thanks soooooo much and we'll definitely be back again! Gr Ronald.

Another fabulous trip organized by Tanja!
Once again we have returned from a fabulous self-drive trip to Kruger National Park, Timbavati and Sabi Sands Game Reserves.
Tanja is amazing to work with due to her professionalism, response time and exceptional knowledge of the area.
Again she used her local expertise to plan an unforgettable trip which had amazing wildlife sightings and lodges.
We would not use any other agent to organize our holidays to South Africa and highly recommend African Savanna Travel.

A lot of knowledge with a very warm personality! 5 Stars!
I have been looking forward to a trip through SA with my 4 children for a long time. Tanja has converted all my wishes into a beautiful program. It had to be a holiday where my teenagers would not miss the WiFi... Nature, animals, coast, city, and also activities. We traveled from Johannesburg via Lowveld, Sabi Sand, Hazyview. Mlilwane, St Lucia Umdloti to Cape Town.
We enjoyed it so much and Tanja was also accessible and very helpful along the way.
It was a once in your lifetime trip, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Tanja, thank you so much!

The best trip we ever did, with the best possible support from Tanja and her team
We already had our ideas where in Botswana we wanted to go on our self-drive safari. Tanja supported us in order to optimize our route and planed and organised everything to perfection. In this way, we had no worries and could enjoy the wonderful nature and people of Botswana.
Our trip started in Kasane, had a daytrip to Victoria Falls, with various stops at Chobe, Linyanti, Savuti, Moremi, Kalahari and Pilandsberg.
Even for our last minute changes in Johannesburg she could arrange a perfect short tour through Soweto. Thank you again and we hope to come back soon.

Extremely Responsive and Detailed Oriented
My family was very thankful for making this a very memorable holiday. A lot was squeezed into a 7/8 day trip to South Africa (Capetown, safari, hazyview), but we never felt rushed so there was a lot of downtime as well. The details on pick ups, drops, handoffs etc were extremely well coordinated and planned. We had a last minute plan disruption with road closures in capetown due to a cycling race, but Tanja/Rubu quickly coordinated with the tour operator and helped make changes to work around the road closures as well. Highlights were Machiel tour guide in Cape town, who really went out of his way to show us everything he could - passionate guy, loved his energy. And similarly Leo our Safari guide in Umbkumbe.

AST knows what you want!
We have been traveling for 3 weeks through South Africa, Mozambique and Swaziland. Since we had never been to Africa, we asked Tanja from African Savanna Travel for travel advice.
She put a beautiful and diverse program together for us, we slept in the most beautiful locations. In Mozambique we dived in 2 places. During this unforgettable trip, we were able to see the most beautiful animals both above and under water. Thanks to AST and Tanja!

We zijn 3 weken op reis geweest door Zuid-Afrika, Mozambique en Swaziland. Aangezien wij nog nooit in Afrika geweest waren, hebben wij reisadvies gevraagd aan Tanja van African Savanna Travel.
Zij heeft een mooi en divers programma voor ons samengesteld, we sliepen op de prachtigste locaties. In Mozambique hebben we op 2 plekken gedoken. Tijdens deze onvergetelijke reis hebben we zowel boven als onder water de mooiste dieren mogen zien. Dankzij AST en Tanja!

Professional service with an exceptional amount of knowledge
We wanted to do a 3 week road trip to Cape Town in December and mentioned a few places we would like to visit along the way. We told Tanja more or less what type of accommodation we were looking for and she did the rest. We were very satisfied with all the lodges/resorts/hotels they booked for us, they took all the stress and hassle away from booking such an amazing trip.
We've now booked twice with African Savanna Travel and would recommend them for all your travels, they offer professional service with an exceptional amount of travel knowledge.
They gave us a travel pack with a map, vouchers, contact numbers, brochures which became our "go to information pack" for the trip.
It was an unforgetable holiday and was all made possible by them.
Thank you so much for making it all happen.

Tanja planned for us a four-week-trip through Namibia and Botswana. We had wonderful days under the african sun and perfect nights under the milky-way. We had to plan in 2020, in 2021 and finally in 2022: or better Tanja did it for us. Never she was annoyed and bored about that situation or our wishes.... Thnks a lot für your patience and those incomparable moments.....

"We are very grateful to Tanja. She made our trip unforgettable!"
The combination of following the Brunel Solar Team during the Sasol Solar Challenge 2022 and visiting the highlights of South-Africa was our challenge for a 2-week trip to South-Africa. Booking a standard trip was impossible for us. We had to look for a customised trip with many fixed moments.
Via via we came in contact with Tanja in May 2022. From the first contact we had the feeling she really understood our challenge. Our agenda during our stay was Tanja her starting point; locations and dates (and sometimes times) were fixed. This had to be taken into account.
Our question to Tanja was “simple”: “Can you arrange nice accommodations, drivers, guides and excursions for us, taking into account that we will meet the Brunel Solar Team during the Sasol Solar Challenge 2022?”.
As from the start of the organisational journey it was fun working with Tanja. Good, clear and on time communication, offering opportunities for nice accommodations and excursions to get the South-Africa feeling was all part of it. The preparation time was fun already and when locations or dates changed from our side, accommodations were rebooked; this was no issue.
Our trip itself, from our arrival in Johannesburg to our departure in Cape Town, was extremely well organised by Tanja. Drivers and guides were on time and they were all well informed and entertaining. Besides the accommodations were lovely as well. We have had a fantastic trip in South-Africa.
Also, during our trip Tanja kept an eye on everything. She informed us about possible delays of domestic flights and she organised additional excursions within a few hours. Tanja took care of everything!
We are very grateful to Tanja. She made our trip unforgettable.
