Amazing Africa
The safaris selected by Yellow Zebra were absolutely amazing. Throughout the entire adventure we felt that we were part of a BBC documentary. We saw (up close) all of the big cats, rhinos, hippos, elephants and every antelop imaginable, along with many other unique animals (e.g. tortists, dung bettles, soldier ants, etc.). There were a lot of activities to choose from, including game drives, night drives, horseback riding and land hikes. All activities were restricted to us (two people) and seldom did we see other tourists at the major sightings. There is nothing that we can recommend for improvement.
Thank you Emma.

You are in excellent hands with Yellow Zebra
Thank you Yellow Zebra (Emma) for sharing your knowledge and answering all of our questions, listening to our preferences and helping us to make the all important decisions on planning our trip to South Africa. We deeply appreciate your expertise at putting together our trip, from having someone to help us through the logistics of immigration, to packing lists and suggestions on how much to tip when we were there. We felt extremely comfortable with the detailed itinerary and support you provided. Everything went smoothly from our arrival in Johannesburg, to our arrival and departure from Mala Mala.
During our trip we had the opportunity to speak to many other travelers and after hearing of some of the problems they encountered we were especially happy to have used Yellow Zebra and felt very lucky to have your assistance with all of the details.
Our safari at Mala Mala exceeded our expectations in all respects. The style and warmth of this establishment is unparalleled .
It is a beautiful camp with accommodations that are truly extraordinary The game drives are incredible.
We were not prepared for the true beauty, hospitality and attention to detail at Mala Mala. You get the sense that everyone is really paying attention to you and your interests, to help create the most wonderful stay.
It was sad to say farewell, but we smile when we think of the amazing experiences we had and hopefully will have the good fortune to return.

Yellow Zebra Safaris listens to their clients and provides them with an experience of a lifetime!
"You can not describe Africa you need to experience it and Yellow Zebra delivers. The logistics of the trip were executed flawlessly from being met on the tarmac in Arusha to be handed off to the Coastal Air pilot in the Northern Serengeti for the trip home.The lodges and bush camps are spectacular and the food in all is fantastic. My trip to Tanzania went beyond my expectations and I need to thank Yellow Zebra for their expertise in making it so."

Yellow Zebra planned the honeymoon of our dreams!
My husband and I had never worked with a travel agency, until Yellow Zebra. As we began our research to plan a 2 week trip to Africa for our honeymoon, we were inundated with information which made it difficult to make decisions and feel confident in those decisions. Then, my husband found Yellow Zebra. Within 24 hours of submitting an online request, Kirsten reached out to us via email to set up a brief call to discuss what we wanted to do and see during our honeymoon. I really wanted to go to Tanzania and Kenya, but Kirsten advised against it because we’d be going during the rainy season. Not what I wanted to hear, but it’s what I needed to hear. Previous travel agents we reached out to all said great and never shared any concerns with us. And at that moment I knew I could trust Kirsten because she wanted to make sure we had the best trip possible, by giving us all of the information to enable us to make an informed decision. Because of our work schedules, our travel dates were not flexible, but we wanted to stay at a certain lodge in Sabi Sands. Unfortunately, that lodge didn’t have availability with our then-current itinerary. Fortunately, Kirsten worked her magic to rearrange our itinerary so that we could stay at the lodge we wanted.
We live on the east coast of the USA, so I was a little hesitant about working with a travel agency located in the UK because of the time difference, but it wasn’t an issue because Kirsten was always so prompt with her responses. After we booked the lodges, Kirsten helped us fine tune our itinerary with excursions, tours, and dinner reservations. Kirsten also worked with the lodges to make my husband’s birthday extra special while we were on safari.
We felt taken care of by YZ as soon as we landed in South Africa. In Johannesburg, there was a travel guide who greeted us at the airport to take us through immigration and security and made sure we got to our departure gate for our final flight to Cape Town (where we would officially start our honeymoon). Kirsten and the YZ team planned all of our airline connections and car/boat transfers with reputable companies. We worked with Kirsten over 6 months, and she was always lovely, professional, thorough, and knowledgable.
Thank you Kirsten and the YZ team for planning the honeymoon of our lives! We’re still suffering the post-safari blues, so we can’t wait to plan our next safari with you soon!

Yellow Zebra Rocks!
“Yellow Zebra rocks! My husband and I are experienced world travelers and found significant value in Yellow Zebra's services for our South African & Zambia safari vacation. We loved that we could customize our itinerary and arrange for "meet & greet" transfers. Yellow Zebra's 'in-country' hotels and vendors are superior in service and a true delight. Their knowledge of the area and advice helped me so much in crafting the best itinerary for us. I would highly recommend Yellow Zebra to all!”

Life Changing Experience-Solo Traveler!
As a solo traveler, I will never be able to fully convey the expertise, knowledge of the perfect itinerary, care and helpfulness Yellow Zebra showed me. Almost a month in Africa, doing various safaris and islands across the continent, it all couldn't have gone more smoothly or been more amazing, thanks to the incredibly knowledgeable individuals at YZ (most notably Kirsten Woolley). YZ picked the perfect hotels and lodges, from location, to comfort, to fabulous staff, to all around amazing. I was even impressed that I was usually checked out and picked up for my next destination before the check out time at the lodge/hotel. That was great and very convenient. Prior to departing for Africa I had millions of questions, and even some reservations about traveling solo, and Kirsten helped me along every step of the way. She made me feel very important as a customer of YZ and when I spoke with various staff members at YZ they were incredibly kind and welcoming. I am SO glad that the jeeps at the camps YZ chose were all open air. I saw so many jeeps that were closed in and it really took away from the experience in my opinion. I also loved having safari time in the bush to myself (with a private guide). It was a great way to connect with guides and get a very personal experience. That was one of the highlights for me. Spending a night in Arusha, having a nice meal, incredible dinner and just "taking a minute" after such a long day of travel from the states was perfect and such a wonderful idea. That really started off the trip in a wonderful way. The transfers to and from airports, hotels and lodges were wonderful and totally the way to go in a foreign place. Those individuals couldn't have been nicer. I definitely felt very looked after. I was especially impressed that YZ hired a gentleman who waited with me at the airport in Zanzibar until my driver arrived to take me to the resort. That was great and incredibly helpful, as that was a very busy place with a lot going on. The V &A hotel in Cape Town was superb and the perfect location. The lodges were top notch and I literally cried leaving the camps and people behind. Ending a wonderful trip, with a busy itinerary, at Azura was perfect because it allowed me to "decompress" after all the goings on from touring the various countries. My trip was flawless. It was great knowing that at any time I could call or email Kirsten or any YZ staff member. That was very comforting. I would, without question, use YZ again. I've also told all of my friends and family about YZ. I cannot wait to reserve my next safari with YZ! It would be a pleasure and honor to work with them again! Thank you Yellow Zebra for putting together a life-changing trip for me! I am forever a new person and owe that all to you!! Hakunah Matata!”

A Family Trip of a Lifetime
Our family used Yellow Zebra to plan our Africa adventure. Kirsten, our YZ representative, had a couple of conversations with us to find out what kind of experiences we wanted, what was important to us, and some specific things we would like to see. She then presented an amazing itinerary to us with location and camp recommendations for the best wild life viewings and quality of the camps. Her expertise in this area was highly evident. She managed to find availability in fantastic camps even though we were booking quite late. Everything was organized from the minute we landed in Johannesburg until the end of our week. Every detail was taken care of - flights, transfers, luggage transfers, accommodations - and was executed without a hitch. Kirsten also communicated during the trip to ensure everything was going well. This was a trip of a lifetime with lasting memories for our family and Yellow Zebra was instrumental in making this happen. Thank you Kirsten and YZ staff. We would highly recommend Yellow Zebra to others.”

Most amazing trip of a lifetime!
“It was by far the best trip I've ever taken. Every detail was handled and conveyed to us so there were no surprises. Everything happened like clockwork and all accommodations were outstanding. The service was exceptional and everybody was so kind and friendly. Food was phenomenal and it was nice that everything was included including drinks. The game drives were amazing; the guides were so knowledgeable and the spotter did A great job in finding anything we wanted to see. I would highly recommend anybody to take this type of a trip and to especially create your own itinerary using yellow zebra. They were very detailed and professional and were very responsive during and following our holiday trip.”

Amazing
I contacted yellow zebra safaris who I found through social media this was our first safari and a special birthday therefore I spent a lot of time researching I'm so glad I contacted YZ my contact was Weis who was very knowledgeable and from the start after a phone call he got exactly what we wanted and planned the perfect safari and beach holiday for us. Every detail was perfect we stayed in amazing lodges, saw an abundance of wildlife, including the big 5. It was a holiday of a lifetime and we had the time of our life. I cannot recommend YZ enough they go above and beyond and look forward to arranging my next safari with them.
