Since the day of the reservation to the last day of the safari, the agency was perfect. The safari was wonderful thanks to our guide Martin. I recommend without moderation and look forward to the next safari with It's started in Africa!

Fabulous experience
We had a wonderful time on our 25 day Wild Life and Game Parks safari. You may think that it would become a bit much doing day after day of safari but no, there has been a lot of thought put into the itinery resulting in each day being a new experience. Ant, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and capable and fun to be with. Most of all we enjoyed the days where we stayed in the parks and had a braai (bbq) in the evening, everyone joining in together then chilling together in the evenings. We had the best weather, sad for the countries that were suffering a drought... We saw every animal possible except a Cheetah, saw prides of lions setting up their dinner choices and got up close and personal with elephants, lions and rhino's. The company on our trip was the best also and we had lots of laughs and fun. The only worry was remembering to carry enough money to cover tips which is not part of our culture.
Thank you Jude for organising such an amazing adventure. If you are thinking about going - STOP thinking and DO IT.
Disastrous Kafue
I am afraid to say, our trip to Kafue was a disaster in terms of game, very little to see. I think when the new North/ South road was built I think most of the game was eaten/killed, we saw more game in Pilandsberg game reserve.
It was a real pity, next te we will try South Luangue.

Uganda Primates, Safari and Relaxation
E Trip Africa were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. It really felt like Ben was organising a bespoke experience to fit our needs, rather than just an 'off the shelf' package. He came up with great suggestions and helped us to make decisions on the various options. Organised internal flights, transfers and guides - as well as accommodation.
Our driver David was excellent, really knowledgeable and a nice guy to talk to informally too. The hotels and lodges were really good, particularly Nkuringo Gorilla Lodge and Mhingo Lodge stood out.
Of course, the highlight was the Mountain Gorilla trek (23km, 7 hours of quite hard walking, but totally worth it). The game drives in Queen Elizabeth were also excellent, as well as the Chimpnazees in Kibale, and the Boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel.
It was our honeymoon, and probably the best holiday we've ever had.

Excellent!!! Outstanding!!!
Booking was so easy, plenty of communication before the safari, ease of payment. Nothing was too much trouble for Kylie who assisted me with my booking. Then the safari. Wow!! Picked up from my Lodge in J'burg (and delivered back) and driven to Kruger. The safari, camp, staff were all incredible. I could not fault any part of this experience, it was excellent value for money, the camp was perfect and comfortable. I chose the Classic 4 Day safari which I preferred as I wanted the extra comfort of the Chalet accommodation and the extra day of a game drive. Skukuza camp was fantastic, from the staff to the representatives of Outlook Safaris who looked after me. I am a solo traveller and never once felt it. I cannot rate this entire experience highly enough and I thoroughly recommend anyone wanting to travel to Kruger to book with Kruger Park Travel. 10 out of 10!!!!! (and do a drive with Beno, brilliant guide).

Our dream trip going on Safari became a reality
We have just returned from our 8 day trip on safari in South Africa. Africa has always been on our wishlist. South Africa offered a variety of what we wanted, and we signed up for a Go Touch Down tour in 2015 and traveled Sept 2016. My wife wanted the other tour they offered, the city one, in cape town, but I was not going to go to Africa and not see wildlife. Safari offerd a sample of everything, so we settled for that. We stayed at 3 properties, Dukeld Estate, Seasons Spa, and Humala lodge. We arrived a day early on the Tuesday and stayed a night at Seasons before the tour kicked off the next day. The spa helped to recover from the 15 hr flight. Overall the guides 9/10, the value of the tour 9/10, the properties 8/10, Humala gets a 9/10, the activities 8/10, the staff service at the lodges 9/10, the friendliness 9/10, and the food - well that gets a 10/10. Braaai is my new favorite word. It is a barbecue but S. African style. It is to die for. Only negative was the excursion at a very dry Kruger park, as this SA reserve has been experiencing a drought.
The trip and flights (economy) cost us 10K. We would recommend this tour and company. Overall I give them 4.5 stars

A memorable trip to South Africa
Kathi from African Safari organised a 10-day trip for us to SA including Cape Town, Garden route and Safari. We initially contacted 6 agents, and Kathi was by far the most knowledgeble, organised and responsive. Upon arrival we were given a compehensive pack with infomation about all interesting places to visit on our way and all useful tips for our travel. I would highly recommend Kathi to anyone who wants to visit South Africa. Thank you Kathi for making our trip so special!

Best holiday ever
All the transports were perfectly organized. The 3 places we stayed at were as we expected them (or better) and the choice was made with the help of Ellie, who spent a long time talking to us, explaining every detail and giving her gentle suggestions. She was always ready to answer anything at any time of the day. Thanks a lot Ellie!!
The best part of our trip was the waling safari at Impala. The days on the beach were really relaxing. We were a bit disappointed by Stone Town, but this is due to our expectations rather than any problem. We were expecting something different. Maybe the problem was that nothing could compare with the safari for us.
We will keep this part short in order to avoid repeating what we said for the previous parts.
Best holiday we ever had!! The problem is we already want to go back...
