Kruger Trip
Private Kruger Safaris took us on a delightful morning trip into the Kruger National Park. We saw a rhino up close and also witnessed a herd of elephants crossing the road around us on their way to the watering hole. Our guide, Bernhard was very knowledgable and answered all our questions. Well worth it!

Review about South Africa by Tim Cam
We are not particularly birders, we did see a number of birds, but not a huge variety.

Well Organized Safari- Amazing!!!!!
In April 2014 we went on a safari with Kikwetu Cultural Adventures and it was absolutely amazing. From the pick up in Nairobi to being dropped off at the airport everything was so well planned and executed. We were so blown away by the beauty of Kenya's national parks and its animals. Our guide Kenneth and the team made the whole experience even better. Was so knowledgeable and enthusiast about everything and so easy going dealing with overly excited people. I would Strongly recommend this company to anyone who is looking into a Kenyan Safari. I plan on returning to Kenya for another safari with Kenneth as my guide again. Thanks very much Kikwetu!!!!

Review about South Africa by Errol
The South African National Parks are superbly managed, and cater to every possible taste. All the national parks have fabulous birding and photographic opportunities, as well as excellent game viewing. Many of the parks have the big five.

I never thought it would happen!
My adult daughter and i traveled with gazelle safaris for two and one-half days. Our vehicle was sturdy and offered great viewing, either sitting or standing. Our fellow travelers (from Germany) were another mother-daughter duo, friendly and frolicsome. We had plenty of room in the vehicle. The guide was most knowledgeable and spoke English beautifully. We saw 39 different animals! My daughter counted them! There were frequent stops for photo opportunities and the food was good, plentiful and nicely packaged. We stayed in a lodge and while we preferred the tent safari (sold out), we were happy in the lodge, the staff was most attentive and walked us to our bandas at night. My daughter handled the communications - they were clear and politely done. We will remember our safari forever and with great pleasure! Thanks again!

Beyond My Highest Expectations
So this trip wasn't a dream.....it was real!!!
We are now home and settled into our routine. The journey back was long; 36 hours total! However, it was well worth it and we have so many pictures and fond memories to remind us of our time.
The itinerary that African Welcome put together was excellent. We spent two weeks traveling within South Africa (Sabi Sands, Cape Town, Winelands, Zimbabwe). Here are some of the things we enjoyed:
Welcome package...due to a mis-step on our part we almost missed the receipt of this packet in Jo'burg, but glad we didn't. The information provided was very informative.
Having transportation to and from the airport was great. It was such a relief to get off the plane and know that there was a reliable mode of transportation awaiting us. Every single pick-up was on time and professional.
The accommodations were superb. Great locations, luxurious, wonderful staff/service. All of the room requests that you made on our behalf were met. At Victoria Falls Safari Lodge and Elephant Plains we had rooms overlooking the waterhole and at the Commodore we had a spectacular view of the harbor and Table Mountain.
Private Tour - Rhys was professional, informative and very accommodating. He never made us feel rushed and provided excellent recommendations.
Wine tasting was fabulous. We enjoyed the selection of wineries, the drive and lunch.
Victoria Falls was everything and more. I'm so glad that we added this to our trip.
Thank you for providing us with our first Southern Africa experience. This was a trip of a lifetime and your attention to detail and expertise of the area afforded us an amazing trip. The accommodations, tours, and transportation allowed to relax and really enjoy our time. We can't wait to go back!

Review about South Africa by Will Sweet
The best three months of my life were spent in South Africa. From the Cape to Kruger, everything is amazing. I saw over 350 species of birds, incredible mammals, and gorgeous views.
