Review about South Africa by Jayhawk80
One of the most beautiful countries we've ever seen.
For us...the perfect trip was Capetown, the wine country, the southern coastline, and safari experience.

The Trip of a Lifetime
I don't even know where to start!!!!!! It was simply "all that and MORE". Started with my initial contact with Robert. He always responded promptly and never tired of the one million questions I asked starting a year before the trip! Thank you Robert - Second, because we were 3 women traveling along, safety and security were of concern to us. Robert gave us assurances about many things, BUT the BEST THING he did, was give us MUTEMI!!!! THE BEST GUIDE/DRIVER in Africa!!!! I can't say enough about how wonderful he was. Knows so much about all the animals, the land, the roads, the lodges. He even put up with 3 very talkative, excitable ladies for 7 seven days!!!! Without ever being anything but nice, respectful, courteous and funny!!!! The vehicle was great, all the camps we stayed in were perfect and were all Robert & Mutemi's recommendations. We visited Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and the Maasai Mara. We saw the BIG FIVE in the first 3 days of the trip!!! We also so a Wildebeast Crossing the Mara that was magnificant! Go Kenya provided us the trip of a lifetime from the first late night at the airport meeting until the day we were dropped at the airport headed for home. Thank You Robert & Mutemi!

the guides were very skilled in pointing out the game
The wild life was amazing. The weather was fine. Transport was fine in Budlawayo and vic falls. Our guide was fantastic. Tongasai did pick us up personally in Budlawayo and drove us to the Nwange Lodge for over night stay.After the game the next day , he did drive us to Vic falls. On the way we discussed potential events in Vic falls. Tonagesai did suggest a lot of good events and helped us book these events even though we did arrive late . He also picked us up at the lodge in Vic falls the next day and drove us to the vic falls and back. Very good service
Kind Regards

Me and my Friend we were positively impressed.
I can just recommend to anybody/everybody to go and do the same Trip as my Friend and I did. I know quite a number of countries in Africa but Namibia is one of the best one.
It was wonderful. If I have the time, I will come again.

Best experience of my life, very professional, extremely well organised.
Everyone was very friendly. Nature responsible were very organised and professional. The parks were superb with more wildlife than i could have ever imagined. I enjoyed every second of my time here.

Adventure filled Safari
An absolutely fantastic safari trip! Nik was the best guide a tour group could have. A very organized and friendly company. Very responsive to requests and a staff that was easy to work with. A great safari, lots of animals to be seen, and would do it again tomorrow!

My dream safari adventure come true
I decided to go "first class" as it was my trip of a lifetime and I wanted to go to more exclusive areas not open to the hordes of general public and self drivers and dozens of land rovers surrounding a pride of lions.... I was not disappointed. I stayed at "Kings Camp" and Notten's Bush Camp". I cannot recommend those camps highly enough. (Note that Notten's Bush Camp operates by night by candle and lantern light only - which is a bold move and you have to be into that. I found it really a great idea - set up a great, classic safari vibe, exciting and romantic, but I suppose you have to be into that. You were able to recharge electronics in your room at any time)
I especially commend Paperjet Travel - who worked on giving me the exact trip I wanted - and they found camps (in the mid season granted) who would not charge extra for single occupancy. I think I exchanged 35 emails with them over time. They answered every question promptly and generously, even questions about the drought in Cape Town and the potential strike by South Africa Airways (so - they supported me beyond the call). They put me at ease with detailed and accurate information. They tweaked my itinerary several times after giving me numerous options until it was exactly what I wanted. I can't recommend Paperjet highly enough. Ask for Jason. He is THE best.
Guides were every informative, congenial, accommodating - couldn't be better
Wildlife - we saw every conceivable animal. I stayed in two different camps so that I hedged my bets on seeing all animals. That turned out to be a great choice.
Accommodation was truly first class in every aspect. The food, the set up of the camps, design and architecture, amenities, the personnel, the service; I was treated like a king
Transportation was flawless from airports and between camps. Even the drivers acted as guides. They stopped once or twice to show me animals.
I was not at any disadvantage as a result of going "mid season". Animal sightings were excellent and plentiful

Honeymoon heaven!
I'm so pleased we booked with the luxury safari company. From the onset Rose replied extremely quickly to all emails and queries regarding our honeymoon. She managed to put together an amazing package which suited us perfectly. We were treated like royalty at amara selous - the staff there are so friendly and it made the start of our honeymoon truly fantastic. We then went on to shooting star lodge in Zanzibar for some r & r. I would highly recommend Rose and her team to anyone looking to book a safari their expertise in this field is incomparable.
