Seamless from start to finish
I came across TA through a google search and contacted them for a 14 night itinerary after booking flights. Within 24 hours Sandra had put together an itinerary that suited us perfectly. Safari, Rovos, Vic Falls and wine region in Franschhoek. Everything was absolutely seamless. Transfers were spot on and the chosen accommodation was great. Sandra also provided us with information on the areas that we were staying in. Communication was clear and concise and emails were responded to within 24 hours. We can’t fault anything about the service that they provided. Thank you!
Competent and caring
We loved Ant's Nest and all the other destinations Sandra booked for us. She was always available on WhatsApp throughout our stay and she was very helpful, it was great to know she was there for us if any problems occurred. We stayed in CapeTown for three nights and did the Cape Tour with a private driver, so we decided where to stop and how long to stay. The Gold restaurant was OK, just to taste different african dishes and watch the drums and the dance. - but once is enough. Schoone Oordt at Swellendam as second destination was quite nice, but two nights would have been enough. Did a nice hike in the Marloth reserve to the waterfall. Oudtshoorn was really nice for two nights, we did the drive over Swartberg Pass on one day, and went to see the Meerkats and one of the Ostrich Farms on the other day. Very good food here. Knysna Turbine Hotel was a perfect location, loved it! Went to the Heads and did the sunset boat tour, next time I'd prefer doing the Featherbed Walk instead of the boat. Port Elisabeth Beach Hotel perfect for the last night, close to the airport and a very good restaurant. What to do better? A bigger car, preferably a Jeep because of lots of gravel roads (National parcs).

Best Experience Ever!
Exquisite tour at the Lush Private Lodge, an all-inclusive luxurious lodge in the Pilanesberg Reserve (No malaria). Sandra was extremely helpful and accommodated all our needs including transportation to and from the lodge. Sandra was very much responsive. Communications were clear.
Everything developed as planned. No hiccups. Sandra also helped us with suggestions for pre and post safari experiences in Johannesburg and Cape Town. The Gold restaurant in Cape Town is a MUST. We also discovered the Pot Luck Club in Johannesburg (Rosebank), a gourmet experience in tapa sizes.
The team, whether rangers or staff, at the lodge cannot be described in words. Qualifiers are just not sufficient. We were treated beyond what you can imagine. This is a one in a lifetime experience. You might as well treat yourself at this lodge.
I highly recommend Traipsing Africa's Safaris and Tours.

Perfect, professional service
I had to organise a safari trip for my dad and two of his friends. Sandra at Traipsing Africa was very helpful in giving us a few options in Pilanesberg and booking a trip to Black Rhino Game Lodge. They had an amazing time there. The service from Traipsing was perfect: Sandra always answered our questions quickly, did the check ins for the flights, and contacted us to make sure the trip was fine. Very professional. I will surely use their service again.

A special trip!
A big thank you to Sandra and all the effort she put in to organising a wonderful safari trip for us, Sandra organised part of our holiday from Cape Town to Pilanesberg at Shepherds Tree Game Lodge, we were really happy with the lodge. Sandra was on hand to answer any questions before and during our trip and made sure everything went smoothly, thank you!

Perfect
I was looking for a safari for myself and my daughter and came across Traipsing from first enquiry (and a very speedy response) to finalising the final itinerary was simple and quick.
In the end booked a 5 day / 4 night stay at Tambuti Lodge in Black Rhino Park with transfers from and return to J’burg airport.
Sandra messaged just before we left to ensure a smooth arrival, provided sandwiches and drinks for the car journey on arrival and even arranged a last minute change to our pick up time the night before we left.
Such an easy and smooth process, and absolutely outstanding recommendation and everything ran smoothly. Not only would I recommend Sandra and Traipsing to anyone looking to book a holiday I will also be back when I’m ready to book our next one, 5 star service!
