Amazing experience - lots of fun and learned tons!
5/5

We spend two weeks in South Africa, one with Benjamin as our guide and one self-drive but organized by him. Both weeks were just wonderful :)

Benjamin is a really great guide: He knows so much about animals, nature and also the history of the country. He's always in a good mood and adjusts plans based on our needs and interests. Communication with him was always very open, which both enabled a super smooth trip and allowed us to ask tons of questions. Besides amazing game drives in Krueger, walking around Johannesburg, Soweto and Blyde Canyon, we also enjoyed our cooking sessions to learn a bit about South African food (Braai for the win hehe) and relaxing drives with interesting political discussions!

Also the second week went super smooth: Everything was perfectly pre-booked by Benjamin (hotels, car) and he had given us so many recommendations of what to do that we didn't even have time to finish them all. Even when a small hiccup of a hotel required us to pay the night that should have actually already been pulled from Siya Phambile's account, Benjamin resolved this and transferred the money internationally to my account.

Thank you so much for this great experience, Benjamin. We'll definitely be coming back for a second trip with Siya Phambile!

Highlights of South Africa, very efficient guide, excellent preparation and service.
5/5

We had booked a two-week trip, the first week with Benjamin as a guide, the second half self-driving. Benjamin showed us around Joburg and had arranged special tours in Soweto with local guides, which were very interesting. Then he drove us to Blyde Canyon and to Kruger National Park, for me the absolute highlight of the trip. The three safari diverse with Benjamin, who shared his amazing knowledge about wildlife with us, and two Safaris with a ranger were a stunning experience for me. During the time with Benjamin we also got additional information about rules and habits of the country like traffic regulations, areas to be avoided, tips etc. , which helped us a lot during the self-driving period of our trip.
The second week had been prepared by Siya Pamphile Expeditions, providing well chosen accommodation with excellent service, good suggestions for activities, but also time for our own plans, for example a hike on the Robberg peninsula. A further highlight was Cape Town and the Cape of good hope with its combination of city life, nature hikes and relaxing at the beach. Thank you very much for this phantastic trip, Benjamin!
