Great guide , fabulous driver with great guiding knowledge , good food and the holiday of a lifetime
The whole trip was very well organized . We were cold at night and that was our only complaint . We saw so much , had extra game drives , stopped for photos at every opportunity , and felt safe at all times . Our guide was knowledgeable and if he was uncertain about information would check and get back to us . His rapport with the driver and cook was fabulous and the three of them looked after us so well
Everything was organised and easy,
Couldn't fault the whole experience
From start to finish
Amazing

Did things that I thought I'd never do, but felt safe, knowing your workers had everything covered
Not that I had any problems but Adam was always ready to do anything that was asked of him...
I did write a few comments on a survey about air conditioning, in the bus as it did get very hot, and a toilet as a few elderly ladies found it hard to hold on and then when we did find public toilets they were terrible and no one was able to use them. I would like to say Adam, Mandale and Mzi were excellent guides and I hope you can pass that onto them, they worked so hard to please all of us, it would be nice for them to hear positive feedback from your company as they are the face of your company...oh and the food it was amazing I would love to see a camping cookbook done. love, love, loved it.

An amazing adventure where each day brought a new and exciting experience.
Our tour exceeded my wildest expectations in every way. I went for the animals and got them in abundance! But it was so much more, the cultural experiences were fascinating, I learnt so much. The accommodation was beautiful, each place with its own unique character, and wonderful catering everywhere we went. Our trip wouldn't have been the same without our wonderful guide, Dumi. He was such a lovely person, was on top of everything and nothing fazed him or was too much for him. He was very knowledgeable and was also happy to share personal stories which gave us more insight to African life. Overall, a wonderful holiday thats just whet my appetite to see more of Africa.

Trans-Kalahari Adventure
Traveled for 20+ days with Kiboko going from Cape Town, South Africa to Vicoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Travel was via a large 16 person truck/bus with two large refrigerators in the rear. Every day fresh fruit was provided. This is a long trip covering over 6,0000 kilometers. Our guide, Misheck Mahonye was absolutely fantastic in providing extra information and recommendations. He made sure our comfort was attended to with multiple rest stops for restroom breaks and snacks. This is a great trip if you wish to see a wide variety of landscapes and animals. It is not a good trip for young children or those who don't want to spend hours traveling from desination to destination.

A great Safari
The easy way to describe our safari was that it exceeded our expectations in every way:
- the safari was very well organized, obviously they have been doing this for a while
-the accommodation was very good, better than we expected, and part of the overall adventure
-we were lucky to take the Transkalahari from South to North. I think the reverse would have been less fun
-the truck that took us from Cape Town to Victoria falls was the right vehicle for the task at hand. It was a bit rough on occasion, but a less rugged vehicle would have been damaged by the rough roads
-the food provided (or the recommendations, when food not provided) exceeded our expectations always
-with these kind of surveys, one is often requested to evaluate something or other on a scale of one to ten. I will almost never give a ten rating, as most people or facilities have room for improvement. In this case, I am happy to give Misheck the guide a solid ten. Everything he did was in the excellent category

Was very impressed with the whole tour and especially with our tour guide Mischek M. (Spelling?)
This holiday was the best we (husband Richard and I) have had in many years and exceeded our expectations even though it was very different to what I personally imagined. We were looked after well and have no complaints at all. The accommodation was mostly first class and very comfortable though we were rather hot under those doonas at night! Can't praise Meshek (spelling) enough for his care of the group taking responsibility for every imaginable situation such as vehicle breakdown, sickness, extra travel needs and arrangements etc. Loved the areas we visited even the miles and miles of desert which could have been dull but Mesheks obvious love of Africa inspired us and we took hundreds of pictures and copious notes as well as read a few of the books he recommended. Because of this we feel we really experienced Africa, albeit as tourists, but for my husband (Sth.bAfrican born) it was a refreshing experience as he left Africa at 18 in the '60's and so much has changed. He was very pleasantly surprised. Meshek was very calm and practical and we and others in the group were impressed with his many skills and knowledge. We learnt so much about Africa , the history, geography, animals, geology, social issues, and much more and I am writing up a journal about all I can remember. We are hoping to travel again to Africa in a few years and recommend Kiboko highly to friends and family.

Fantastic guide and comfortable bus
We did a two week in-comfort safari with Kiboko from Victoria Falls to Windhoek in Namibia via the Caprivi Strip which included Chobe National Park in Botswana.
We had an excellent guide (Kembo) and were lucky to travel in the company's newest bus which was very comfortable and roomy. The company only has a maximum of 16 on the tours which means there are some extra seats on the bus which was good.
The places we visited such as Etosha National Park and Sossusvlei sand dunes area were fantastic and we stayed in some really wonderful accommodation - especially the Gondwana lodges.
The tour was good value but there are a lot of optional tours which can bring up the price a bit.
I would recommend Kiboko and use them again.

I wont forget Africa

Safari through Southern Africa, camping
The whole tour was excellent. We began with a self drive tour of the Garden Route, followed by 3 weeks in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe, and capped it off with a visit to a private game reserve in Kruger. The entire trip was entrancing, the service and tour team excellent - clear, honest, helpful, practical, patient and knowledgable - and the facilities were great. Some of the campsite facilities were a little run down, but only to be expected in less populated and touristic regions.
