Extraordinary experience, thanks to Kalahari Skies
Our first safari ever was a complete success. Everything was perfectly organized and managed: the exciting game drives, the excellent cooking, the careless staying in the tented camps.
Eddy showed us a wonderful piece of Botswana nature of which he seems to know every animal and every tree. His knowledge about fauna and flora is incredible. Together with Mano, Leonard and Tumelo he made this trip an extraordinary experience that we will never forget.

Awesome memories with Bison Safaris
Bison Safari services are just simply awesome, they have experienced guide and by their guidance you will be able to explore the beauty of jungle at its best. Maggie is best in explaining each and everything about this wildlife place. I'm thankful to Bison Safaris to give me these memorable moments.

Cheetah Plains in Sabi Sands is a must do. Incredible Wildflie, Impeccable Service, 5-star!
We spent 4 days at Cheetah Plains and it was the most incredible experience I've ever had. I'm a seasoned traveler and have stayed at 5-star resorts before but the luxury suites, the staff and the impeccable service (attention to detail was out of this world!), the delicious meals, the setting situated by two watering holes for wildlife watching all day long, and the knowledgeable guides putting us on thousands of animals within seconds, made it a truly amazing experience.
The meals served indoors and out were spectacular. What better way to eat than outdoors with a fire under tea lights in the trees watching elephants at the watering hole while enjoying delicious and beautifully decorated dishes.
The wildlife viewing with seeing the big five on the first game drive followed by 11 separate lions, cheetahs, leopards, buffalo, monkeys, hippos, zebras, giraffes, elephants, and so on was amazing. We expected to have minutes between seeing animals and to be far away but instead, we were within feet and less than 5 minutes apart. Absolutely stunning. Plus the two watering holes at the resort granted all day wildlife viewing as elephants, giraffes, buffalo, deer, and others came down to enjoy a drink/dip.
The entire experience far exceeded our expectations and we will definitely return to Cheetah Plains and Sabi Sands.

Thoroughly enjoyed the boat trip! Hundreds of animals within minutes.
After experiences safaris via vehicles, the boat was a nice change and offered us a unique opportunity to view animals in a different way. We witnessed dozens of elephants swimming, babies holding their mom's tails, lots of hippos, crocodiles, birds, buffalo, deer and other animals up close and personal. Plus Chobe is much more colorful than Kruger in early September. Beautiful area. Highly recommend the day trip out of Victoria Falls!

Kenya Safari
James Karivki of Arch Treks made my trip to Kenya a lifetime memory.I made last minute arrangements and numerous changes during my Safari and James flawlessly handled them all.The guides he provided will remain lifetime friends.Part way thru my trip I made a surprise visit to my granddaughter who was in Kenya on a yoga project.To arrive unannounced half way around the continent was a logistical nightmare but James and his guide did it! Something my family will never forget.

The best trip of my life!
Where do I begin? Chris was amazing at helping me plan this trip. I started in Tanzania and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and then a safari in Kenya at the Encounter Mara camp. This was the best trip I have ever been on and Chris really helped to ensure everything was planned perfectly. From the shuttles from the airports, to the climb to the safari everything was planned perfectly. All I had to do was show up :)
I will be using Safari Partners again no doubt about it.

The experience of a lifetime. Can we do it again, please??
A friend recommended Southern Africa Travel (Giltedge) to us to help organise our honeymoon. From the moment we contacted Giltedge Africa, we felt included and important in all decisions made. We were consulted on each step of our trip and all enquiries from us were dealt with in a timely, courteous and professional manner.
All our transfers, accommodation and pre-booked tours were expertly organised, which allowed us to relax completely on our holiday. All services provided were entirely efficient and professional with an individual touch, making us feel quite important :)
The safari tour in Sabi Sands game reserve was the highlight of our trip. From the moment we arrived at Savanna Lodge until it came for time to leave, we had what can only be described as an unforgettable experience. The level of service was extraordinary and every little thing you could possibly need was catered for. Without a doubt the most fantastic place we have ever stayed.
Southern Africa Travel comes highly recommended, with good reason!
They fully deserve a 10/10 review.

18 day tour of Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia
8 of us just returned from a excellent safari with Nature Travel Namibia. We had been planning this trip for over a year and the communication with the company was excellent. We had endless questions, all of which were answered in a timely manner to our satisfaction. The lodges were above our expectations with personal and excellent service. We celebrated 2 birthday's and 1 anniversary and Nick our guide made sure special celebrations took place for each event. The first three days were set up for us at Victoria Falls, and even though Nick did not join us for this part of the trip, everything went perfectly. The next 10 days we spent with Nick in Botswana and Namibia, his talents as a guide are incredible. We can name most of the animals and all of us have a better appreciations for the beautiful and diverse bird life. We saw the Big 5, and more animals than we had ever anticipated. The last four days we spent on our own with a self drive to the coast and desert in Namibia. Again everything went perfectly. I would highly recommend Nature Travel Namibia to anyone, and hope to use them again one day.

Amazing and wonderful, great people, good food and close animal contact.
We 3 friends, very different people from different countries with different expectations and interests,
were treated to a wonderful Southern Safari by Grassroots and the team. From start to finish it exceeded all our hopes.
We had with us the charming, talented young cook Asha and the eagle eyed Gaston for 6 days of amazement
and wonder. We saw, tasted and felt the world we only believed was Attenboroug's.
Grassroots has something for everyone.
It didn't cost the earth but it was value for us three hopefulls.
Thanks to all the people we met on the way.
