Kruger / Sabi Sands Safari's
When you plan trips over the web, there is always the uncertainty that your expectations are higher that what you will experience once you get there. Absolutely not the case.
Working with Ute from Roho Ya Chui was great. She was flexible, answered all my questions and helped us through all the areas of arranging our trip including adding an additional day in the Sabi Sands. From our flights into Skukuza airport in Kruger park to our return flights from Skukuza to Johannesburg, everything went as smoothly as I could hope for. Everyone we encountered worked hard to ensure we had a great time.
My hat off to Mandla who was our guide through 2 days in Kruger and a long drive along the Panorama route taking in Lisbon and Lone Creek Falls was tremendous. Our stay at Chestnut Country Lodge was extremely comfortable with absolutely 5-star accommodations and dining.
The second half of our trip was at Notten's Bush Camp in the Sabi Sands where everyone is extremely well taken care of. The staff there is delightful to talk with and hear their stories about living in that environment. the food and accommodations are absolutely fabulous. We had both walking and drive guided safari's that were a different adventure every time. Lions, leopards, wild dogs and about everything else you could ask for. From the Big 5 to the Ugly 5 and almost to the Super 7, I can't recommend Notten's enough.
Absolutely a great time. Tough to come home.

When can we go again, please?
TMS was excellent in their communications, service and information. The book they send us before departure was perfect and gave us a lot of information to prepare our trip. It was nice to have a good GPS and cellphone during our trip. Seen a lot of the beautiful nature of SA and we didn't have to sit in the car for days and days!

An experience unlike anything else!
Roger is very easy to communicate with and is a very good organiser. He managed to arrange an incredible experience for me and a couple of my friends with a short deadline. Highly recommended!
During a beautiful hike we had the chance of seeing 14 out of the entire family of 17 gorillas. Among the group we saw a silver back and a little, cute gorilla that was just as interested in us as we were in him. We managed to get really close to the gorillas and observe them for quite a while, all under control of the rangers, whose relation with this animals is truly amazing. This really is an experience hard to match to anything else and Wal-Mark Africa Safaris really makes sure you get the most of it!

Amazing Uganda Holiday
I visited Uganda for my gorilla and chimpanzee trekking tour to Bwindi
forest, Kibale, Queen Elizabeth and Jinja for White Water Rafting and
Buggee Jumping, a travel dream that Walmark Safaris turned into unforgettable
memories. I got everything I imagined from the beautiful views , primates,
challenging rapids, impressive culture and much more. Irene was flexible
and prompt from day one and she really make the holiday wonderful all
through. She goes out of her way to please and she is an asset to the company.
Uganda is a beautiful country with friendly people, culture and it’s
a place I would love to visit again if time permits".

Best two weeks of my life. A great experience in every regard. Worth the 46 hour round trip.
The round the clock best customer service I have experienced. Every day was an excellent adventure. No pressure no, stress enjoyment of the incredible beauty of Tanzania. There are not enough good words, or words good enough to describe my feelings toward this company and it's guides. Going back this December to experience it again.

Fabulous ride through the Namib desert
If you are looking for something a bit different and up for a small challenge try doing the Namib desert challenge ride. Great horses and a great guide in Andrew who quietly just lets you get on with it, thanks Guys (oh and great dinners from Phoebe too!!!).

Excellent experience and superior service
Martin helped us to plan a varied two week safari trip in Botswana and Zimbabwe. He constructed a bespoke itinerary that perfectly suited our wants and needs for the trip, patiently tweaking it and answering all our questions until it was exactly right. Once there, we could see that everything had been organised very well and there was excellent communication - all the camps knew that I was a vegetarian for example, and this was easily catered for. When we wanted to change a transfer while out there, Martin helped us with this over email very quickly and efficiently. Pilot was a great source of local help and knowledge and an excellent guide - I hope one day to return for a mobile safari with him!
Martin has excellent first hand knowledge of the area and connections with top notch camps and this really showed - everywhere we stayed was great and exceeded our expectations. Both accommodation and activities were excellent.
Overall, a very professional, friendly and helpful service that delivered a holiday to remember..
