An unforgettable tailor-made safari
My boyfriend and I are regular travelers to the southern part of Africa and this time we booked a «tailor-made » trip with Jewel of Africa Safaris. Even if we had many experiences in taking safaris tours, this one was really special, as we were on our own with Kobus, a native south African, with a lot of humor and passionate about his amazing country !
First the advice in organizing our trip was perfect and we made probably the most of our ten days, there. The places, he chose for us were great, charming, always adapted to our request and needs and the food was yummy. When we first arrived, we stayed in a comfortable hotel close to Pretoria, before heading to Panzi Bush Camp, a nice, charming and simple place in the bush, closer to Kruger Park. From there, we visited the neighborhood (blyde river canyon…) and also had an elephant-back tour that was a lot of fun.
We then spent a few nights in the really beautiful camp of Skukuza, in one of the best rondavel close to the river side. During the day, Kobus took us to “extensive” safaris, looking for wildlife, as I never can get enough of it! We’ve been lucky to see a lot, amongst them lions, hyenas, rhinos, elephants, hippos, pythons, loads of various birds and of course, warthogs, impalas, giraffes, zebras… Kobus was always ready to tell us a good story or answer any question about culture, fauna or anything else! One evening we took a special “sunrise tour” during which we spotted a python eating an impala… Woaw, that was something.
At last we spent a few days in a private bushcamp of the Timbavati reserve, Umlani. A very beautiful eco-camp very comfortable and again with passionate people, which made it really interesting! Following Kobus advice we booked a night in the tree house. A hut in the trees overhanging a waterhole… This was truly unforgettable!
Therefore, and for a lot more reason I did not take time to write down here, we are highly recommending Jewel of Africa Safaris for your next holidays to South Africa! It worth the money spent…
I will choose Helina Safaris anytime any day for my travels anywhere in Kenya, excellent services!
From the warm reception to the fantastic and informative tour guides, I got myself another best friend in Helinas Safaris. They made my trip to the Maasai Mara feel so special by according tour guides who were funny, lively and very informative. Helinas literary took care of all my worries. It took so little effort from me to get so much joy from the trip thanks to the relentless efforts by Helinas Safaris. No words to describe you guys; like I promised, I'm bringing my crew for the Tsavo trip this May. Please be as kind. See you.

Amazing 4 day Safari
I booked really late for a 4 day safari with Nyange. I really wanted to get on a tour but my timings were very restricted. Praise emailed me back and managed to get me in with a great group of people. He responded very quickly, and without that I would've been stuck.
Being South African I have experienced many safaris, and my expectations are high, but Nyange Adventures completely exceeded them. Really good guide and even better chef!
His prices were a lot lower than competing companies, but I can't see where the savings are made because the tour lacked nothing. Really professional and very enjoyable!

A magical safari experience
My wife and I had always wanted to go on safari and Africa Odyssey arranged the most superb safari to Zimbabwe for us. We saw the big 5 and more, and will definitely be back.

Etosha trip with students
Over a long weekend, Blue Crane Safaris provided an excellent tour to Etosha for our group of 29 students and faculty from an American university. We camped for three nights in Etosha and saw an enormous number of animals, which was unusual for this time of year. The success of the journey was due to our excellent guides who provided all the camping gear, drove the vans and pointed out the wildlife. They also cooked all the meals, which I recommend, as this allowed us to spend more time at the waterhole near the campsite. This was the experience of a lifetime for everyone, and I was impressed enough to book a private journey with Blue Crane for my family later in the year.

Up close and personal with awesome bush creatures and hosts that were brilliant in every way
Well beyond expectations. Superb organization by passionate client centric hosts
The quality of game viewing was on par and better in some cases compares to very high end lodges
Atmosphere was fun, relaxed, welcoming, inclusive and comfortable at all times
Lodge is well kept with a beautiful position
Only thing I would have enjoyed more is for all meals to have been served outside on the stunning deck overlooking the water hole

Best Leopard sighting experience ever
Unique experience at an amazing location (Djuma in Sabi Sands) away from the madding crowd. The big cat sightings were awesome with every photographer given the opportunity to get “that shot”. True African experience with excellent accommodation and food. Mike and Josh you rock. See you again soon.
