Fantastic Experience with Kruger Park Tours!
Would definitely recommend booking a Safari through KPT's. Our agent (Rochelle) could not have been more helpful - she catered to all our requirements, constantly changing our itinerary as per our requests. While all the time maintaining a professional & friendly demeanour. Our tour was exactly what we wanted given the time frame we had. We were also extremely lucky to see the "Big 5" on our first day! We throughly enjoyed our experience at Thornhill Lodge - accommodation, food, amenities, staff & hospitality shown were all fantastic. The bush walks and the Safari itself were great, enjoyed every minute of it! Special shout out to our great guides who were so informative & entertaining. Could not fault KPT's - highly recommend & will continue to do so to anyone considering going to SA!

Family Safari and Capetown Adventure
Upon contacting Giltedge Africa (Southern Africa Travel), I received a response in 24 hours. Nikki was able to guide me through all of my questions. I originally enquired about a self driving tour and we ended up customizing the entire trip so that by the time we reached South Africa, I knew that everything was planned to the last detail. South African arranges our transfers, in-country flights and amazing hotels that worked with my family's needs. They used professional transfer companies who also went above and beyond in providing not just a transfer to a hotel or another area within South Africa but always a historical/ geographical reference. The 'Luxury' Safari was true to it's word. The resort exceeded all of our exceptions from their amazing guides/trackers to the wonderful reception we received when coming off safari and the meals and service were outstanding. My family thought I arranged the most brilliant trip, but it was all Southern Africa Travel. We can't wait to go back and explore more. Our time in Cape Town and surrounding area was also great, and we even were able to arrange a day in Wine Country. The food and wine scene in Cape Town has a great vibe, they are serious contenders on the world stage. I truly think South Africa has something for everyone; adventure, hiking, food, wine, safari's or just relaxing, you can trust Southern Africa Travel to create a vacation specifically for you.

Multiple Safaris planned in only 7 days!
This is my second time travelling with Absolute Holiday Safaris. They maintain a professional service with qualified guides. We requested a few changes to our itinerary during our trip and they accommodate all of it! We had a great time. I'll travel with them again.

Msangi made our trip the best
We leave and work in Dar es salaam for about two two years now. Am writing this feedback just to thank msangi and his team at Bright safaris. Msangi and BAS were recommended to us by one of friends we work together who comes from the same village as msangi. We went on five days safaris and all what he promised he provided to us. It is a bit worrying to pay large amount of money to someone you don't know. we are lucky we paid it to the right company with right people. Onema was our guide and he did his best to make sure we are happy. We went on 4days tented camp safaris to serengeti, ngorongoro and manyara.
All I can say, we real enjoyed our vacation.

I was very impressed with their service, their pricing and the professionalism of their employees.
Been on couple safaris before, in Kenya & Botswana, and in the US. My experience with Helinas Safaris was absolutely the best I've ever had. And you can be sure I'm keeping them for all my future Africa tours.
Every one at Helinas has some kind of magic at what they do, it started from that first inquiry telephone call I made (I was just shopping around for service and ended up closing a deal). The consultant was a master at her art, she had all the info at hand like she knew what I was going to ask next. Her adeptness and swift in her prowess instantly won me over. I had no doubts going forth with them. Barely minutes after that call I got an email with my itinerary, precise as we'd talked over the phone; a 10 day family escape to Amboseli and Samburu. Three weeks later we were in Nairobi and and quite excited to be back a second time in barely two years.
Our tour driver was another charming fella. Very skilled in both city and countryside driving, he knew how to do his math right and get us to our stop overs at the right times. He literally cut away what would otherwise be the boring part of the journey. We got to go to couple curio shops, the market and two hotels on our way, his eloquence was quite handy in negotiating prices with the locals.He was quite knowledgeable too and all the way he was narrating interesting stuff about the places, people and life in general. He had a charisma and the kids enjoyed listening to him. We enjoyed every bit of the journey.
At Amboseli our lodge and the service there was exceptional. Same with Samburu. Everything went exceptionally well, our reservations were perfect. Kenya is a beautiful land, the people are nice and our tour with Helinas Safaris only crowned this goodness.
I probably should've started with their pricing. Their rates are quite reasonable,not cheap (their services are not cheap anyways) but they are not exorbitant. You will get value for your money. And at no point we had any worries or regrets hiring their services. Thank you Helinas Safaris.

A good experience
We contacted the company as we didn't manage to find a suitable lodge + safari, it was too late for booking and we didn't have good knowledge of the country. They handle everything and found us a beautiful lodge at Indlovu River Lodge. Which we highly recommand. I thank them for this help at a suitable price.

Regional organises good safari program particularly the part at Serengeti.
My husband and I had generally good impression about the Regional Tours & Safaris. We were satisfied particularly with our program arrangement and log location. The whole safari left us very good and deep impression at each every stop where we stayed. Tanzania is truly a beautiful country. We shared our good safari experience with our friends and recommended them to choose Regional as their agency for their safari trip in Tanzania.

Birding trip to the Eronogo Mountains in search of Namibia endemics
My husband and I joined Nick of Nature Travel Namibia for a short birding trip to the Erongo Mountains. This location was chosen for the many endemics we might see and the spectacular granitic Erongo Mountains. Nick took care of all the arrangements from our arrival in Windhoek, including booking us into a guest house that provided good birding in their garden and better birding a short walk away at Avis Dam. We stayed at the Erongo Wilderness Lodge where we enjoyed comfortable tented accommodations, great meals and friendly service from the lodge staff. Our morning and afternoon walks netted us over 50 birds and 7 of the 8 anticipated endemics along with some antelope. As geologists we really enjoyed this setting and Nick found a fabulous minerals shop in nearby Omaruru that we visited before returning to Windhoek. We hope to return soon and join Nick for another birding trip in Namibia.

Amazing experience!
We worked with Ute in planning the safari as part of our honeymoon. Ute was very responsive in catering to our requirements as she customized the safari for us based on our interests and duration. The whole package including the lodge and the safari tour was great; special shout out to Laughing Waters Guesthouse for their amazing hospitality.
