Amazing places, friendly and helpful staff
We booked a trip in Namibia for 4 people. Everything went perfectly well. The places we went to were just amazing. We always got quick and helpful answers from our contacts at Giltedge Africe (formerly Southern Africa Travel).
I would definitely recommend to travel with them

Very good, they advise according to your expectations and budget.
I live in the UK and have now been using Southern Africa Travel (Giltedge) for the last few years and found them to be very knowledgeable about Safaris, good places to stay and good accommodation. Indeed, all recommendations have been spot on. Communications have generally been good though on occasions a bit of a delay I guess due to workload. On the whole, I would definitely recommend as I have already done so with friends who have used their service recently.

Well planned, well executed trip
We have traveled as a family extensively and were very pleased with the service provided by Giltedge Africa (Southern Africa Travel). Strong guides, great accommodations, always felt safe and comfortable despite being halfway around the world from home.

City to Safari: Adventure in South Africa
It started in Cape Town, segued to the Garden Route, and culminated at Kariega Private Game Reserve. Over the course of nine days, we experienced incredible cuisine, delightful sites, and The Big Five (well, actually, just The Big Four--still need to return to spot the Wily Leopard!). We had a lot of leeway in the actual daily activities, but the accommodations and transport arranged by Giltedge (Southern African Travel) were top-notch. Each hotel was more amazing than the last. The luxury safari tents at Kariega, in particular, were utterly beyond our wildest expectations. Thank you, SA Travel, for putting the framework in place for our amazing adventure!

I travelled alone, but never felt lonely because the agency took such good care of me!
Communication was fine, accommodations too (everywhere I stayed). The safary had great accommodations, animal sightings, food, etc. Everything was on time. I would definetely return!

The experience of a lifetime. Can we do it again, please??
A friend recommended Southern Africa Travel (Giltedge) to us to help organise our honeymoon. From the moment we contacted Giltedge Africa, we felt included and important in all decisions made. We were consulted on each step of our trip and all enquiries from us were dealt with in a timely, courteous and professional manner.
All our transfers, accommodation and pre-booked tours were expertly organised, which allowed us to relax completely on our holiday. All services provided were entirely efficient and professional with an individual touch, making us feel quite important :)
The safari tour in Sabi Sands game reserve was the highlight of our trip. From the moment we arrived at Savanna Lodge until it came for time to leave, we had what can only be described as an unforgettable experience. The level of service was extraordinary and every little thing you could possibly need was catered for. Without a doubt the most fantastic place we have ever stayed.
Southern Africa Travel comes highly recommended, with good reason!
They fully deserve a 10/10 review.

A Perfect and Wonderful Experience
When I decided to plan my trip with Giltedge Africe (Southern Africa Travel), I knew nothing about the company other than the reviews I read. Let me tell you, I would plan a trip at any time using this company after the experience I had. Working with Robyn-Lea Meyer was wonderful. She gave wonderful suggestions and always responded to my email questions in a very timely fashion. Not ever being on a safari before and knowing that we wanted to go to Kruger National Park, Robyn-Lea suggested Jock Safari Lodge. We took her suggestion and could not have been more pleased. The accommodations are private, comfortable and in a very natural setting, the food is outstanding, and the safaris are given by guides who love their work. Plus there are only two seats per row in the vehicles so each person has a side seat and no one is stuck in the middle. We learned so much from our guide, Cliff, and fell in love with the total experience. A big thank-you to Robyn-Lea for leading us in the right direction. Everything booked by Giltedge Africa went flawlessly, the flights, the drivers/tours, etc. On our next rip to Africa, there is no doubt we will use Giltedge Africa! Thank you for everything!!!

A trip of a lifetime that just kept getting better and better
The trip we took went from Wow to Wow and was beyond our expectation. It was designed to highlight the variety of experiences available in South Africa taking us from city to country, whales to safari. The attention to detail in the planning ensured it ran smoothly and we enjoyed every part of the trip. Our consultant was readily available to answer our smallest query. The accomodation was fabulous, the food scrumptious, the animals larger than life but the people of South Africa were the highlight; so warm and friendly. South Africa was a land of contrast, community, history and amazing experiences. Can't wait to return.

Far exceeded our expectations the organisation was excellent very professionally done.
From the very first conversation with Monique it was obvious Giltedge Africa (formerly Southern African Travel) knew exactly what a dream holiday meant and that's what we had, from the moment we were met at the airport it ran like clockwork, Cape Town Grootbos , Safari, Victoria Falls, Zambeze Queen cruise on the Chobe River each part of the holiday was just as amazing as each other but in its own way different an experience we shall never forget, top class accommodation wherever we stayed very friendly people could not fault it, internal flights went very smoothly and on time, can't wait to do it again!
