"The best safari experience"
If you want the best experience of your life then Johan & Elize are your most experienced guides you can get. They are the best hosts when it comes to a holiday. Thank you Johan and Elize for sharing your experience and knowledge with us we had an awesome holiday and would for sure contact you on our next visit to SA.

Real passion for making your stay in SA an unique wonderful experience
t is so seldom to cross people that are living their true calling. And whenever this happens, you just have to pay your respects. And that's precisely the case of Elize and Johan, who ran Flight of the Eagle.
When Johan retired, Elize enrolled them in a course to become guides because they love the wildlife and their country. They did the 3-year course in just one! And since then they work their way around to guarantee visitors experience South Africa with the same passion they have! So first hint: forget guide. The most appropriate word would be hosts.
You can tell right away when you contact them about the tour. They'll go an extra mile to put together the perfect combination of attractions, suggest the best places to stay (and here another precious hint: listen to them when it comes to hotels/guest houses etc.)
I had a cultural/historical tour and was overwhelmed by the amount of relevant information Johan could share. And I don't mean as in "learn-by-heart-kind-of-tour", he really knew what he was talking about, we could discuss everything, put information into current perspective, compare global data! Very interesting.
But that would be just a great guide. And the experience is so much more. The meals we shared! The true and honest interest in each guest/visitor! For the perfect ending, they blessed me with the unique experience of visiting a national park and see a rhino mom with her baby! Just because I had mentioned I could see a rhino properly while on Serengeti! I stayed with them for just two days, but it was a trip I will never ever forget!

Absolutely amazing service and an unforgettable experience
PaperJet Travel were amazing to deal with. No matter how many times I changed my mind, or requested weird things like not having animal skins in my room, Justin was always happy to help. He was really dedicated to making sure my african safari experience was the best it possibly could be.
After looking at many, many, MANY options, we went with Leopard Hills in Sabi Sands - It was the perfect blend of luxury and adventure. It felt like everyone who worked their new every guest by name, and they made sure that our every need was taken care of. We saw the big 5 on our first 2 game drives, and our guide Johan made sure that every single drive we went on during a 3 night stay was different and exciting. The highlights were definitely seeing 2 lions eating a giraffe, and watching a leopard eat an impala up a tree, whilst her baby cub watched on. As for the accommodation - the room was stunning, topped of by having a private pool and a deck that looked over the savannah. One day I walked out and their was a giraffe walking by - such a surreal experience.
This experience was beyond all my expectations. Thank you Gabi (for reaching out to me on twitter) and Justin (for being so accommodating and lovely), I would definitely have no doubts in recommending PaperJet travel, and will definitely be using them again when I make it back to South Africa.

Fantastically well organised trip...amazing safaris and variety of accomodation, simply brilliant!
I was attracted to the prompt and helpful initial communication with Selma having googled safari companies after failing to get the holiday I wanted from UK based tour companies.
With my wishes and her knowledge we came up with an amazing package, visiting 3 national parks and 1 conservation area plus a stay in Zanzibar at the end, to make a 15 day holiday. From beginning to end, everything ran smoothly, we had our own superb guide in Jamal who made our safari experience so memorable. Our accommodation along the way was varied in location and type which was interesting, always the staff were friendly, professional and helpful and generally the food was very good. The tented camp in the Serengeti was just a wonderful experience. I added a balloon safari to my itinerary last minute before we left the UK, which again was well run and great fun and probably a must do.
When we arrived in Zanzibar, the hotel upgraded us to a chalet near the beach and facilities as I had mentioned to Selma that I'd had recent knee surgery.....what a kind and thoughtful gesture. We wanted a good hotel here to relax in at the end of our holiday and this came with Selma's recommendation...it was stunning, beautiful and so well run. The food and ambience were simply exceptional.
I would definitely use Makasa again and recommend to anyone wanting that special holiday with that special touch.

Great migration safari
Safaris is always a unique experience, but this one with Ngorongoro Crater and the great migration was really unforgettable: so beautiful landscapes and a lot of animals with absolutely lovely lodges with outstanding hosts, guides and services. The highlight was the balloon ride in Ndutu, seeing the african sunrise and the mass of wildebeest and zebras moving across the plains. And the high amount of predators: lions and cheetah everywhere.
After the safari we spent one week in Zanzibar. We lived in a wonderful villa in Matemwe Retreat with a great view of the sea and the dhows sailing by. We especially enjoyed the terrace with the plunge pool, the good food and the fantastic service.

Exhilarating Safari Experience
My friend and I traveled from Kabul, Afghanistan (I am from Pakistan and my friend from India). We both are humanitarian workers and had been planning to explore richness of Tanzania’s wildlife. While searching for tour options we were not only looking at the cost effectiveness but also a wholesome experience in limited time; we opted for did 5 day Safari in Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara National Park, and Tarangrie National Park through Safari Multiways. The team at Multiways (read Romeo) was helpful and answered all pre and post booking/departures queries in detail. It was an amazing experience; our guide Patrick was great; we got to see Big Five in first 2 days, and were fortunate enough to see a live kill. It was exhilarating experience, everything was well coordinated, and we had no hassles from airport pickup in Mwanza to drop-off in Arusha. I would certainly recommend Safari Multiways to my friends and to for those looking for budget to mid-range safari experience.

Diverse, fantastic, beautiful and lovely, nature and animals- we are booking again!
We visited SA from 23/8 - 12/9 2014. From the moment we asked TMS to help us plan our trip it was well organized. Quick and clear communication about possibilities and wishes. It was great to receive the mobile phone and GPS coordinates (does give a safe feeling). We visited, Drakensberg Mountains, Kloof (durban), Rocktail Beach camp, Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, Sint Lucia Estuary and the Zululand Rhino Reserve. All the places had their own beauty and characteristics so we can't give a favorite....(however the baby giraffe and the lion cubs scored high!) the combination of lodges and self catered houses was a good mix of being taken care of and do it yourself.
It was such a good experience that we have booked again for dec 2015- jan 2016 heading for Kaapstad, Garden Route, Addo Elephant Park :)
