A very good company for African tourists with experience
The communication, service and value for money were very good.
The ideas and skills of the cook were incredible, as she was able to create the most delicious dishes using the simplest of ingredients.

Posted on Jun 29, 2024Thank you for traveling with Sekanka & for reviewing your experience. Your 22 days safari ran smoothly from start to finish and the team went over board and even organised activities that were not quoted for - like a sundowner in Khwai, a dinner with a local family and a village visit. It would have been nice to hear the negative parts and how a 4 star review was earned from this trip. This critique would be helpful to know so that we grow and improve our services.

Organised
We are a retired couple and were looking to get a close-up feel of an African experience at a reasonable cost. Online we discovered Sekanka Travel. The Safari is a 'partnership'. The support staff set up and clean up camp, gather the firewood, prepare wholesome and nutritious food, warm up the water for a hasty private bush shower and lay out the drinks table around the fire for the return of the hard working guests after a game viewing drive or boat excursion.
The eagle eyed guides give expert identification and background information on game, bird life and local flora. Think 'those rocks are actually hippos, that log is a crocodile, the lions eating that hippo killed it last night!'
In tough terrain, mechanical glitches (apparently rare) do happen. Support from head office and a resourceful and resilient crew kept the show close to schedule.
Meet, greet and transfers all went extremely smoothly.
A great adventure, life long memories and a few stories to embellish back home.
Thanks team.

The perfect value for price option
We recently completed our honeymoon with Sekanka Travel and Tours Safaris, traveling from Maun to Victoria Falls in September 2024, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience.
From the very beginning, the booking process was incredibly smooth and straightforward. The team at Sekanka was flexible and really attentive to our needs, ensuring that our trip was tailored to what we wanted. Even we did not know the company the payment process and method was trustful!
The first few days of the tour, including the accommodations and meals, were suitable for the price we paid. While the accommodation was comfortable and the meals adequate, it’s important to note that the vehicle used for the safari was the oldest one in the area, which led to a few breakdowns along the way. One of these breakdowns came close to making us miss an activity, which was a bit stressful, but the driver was quick to resolve the issue each time.
However, as the trip went on, the experience improved dramatically. The final nights of our tour and the sunset cruise were absolutely amazing—truly the highlight of our trip. The service and views were exceptional, making up for the earlier hiccups.
We also shared the try with another 2 couples from USA and Nederland and it was so great!
Overall, we highly recommend Sekanka Travel and Tours Safaris. Despite the few setbacks, the company is professional, accommodating, and offers a truly memorable safari experience.
