Namibian Photographic Workshop
5/5

Tailor Made Safaris make an incredible effort to ensure that from the moment we arrived at Windhoek airport until the time we all left to go home, we were to experience something really rather special. The organisation was exceptional. Having done a recce the year before, Nick & Emil had meticulously planned the itinerary. There was an element of tourism for those of us new to Namibia, but of course primarily it was a photographic workshop, an intense one at that! Dawn shoots, dusk shoots and star shoots all at the most amazing iconic venues. Quite exhausting but we all learned an awful lot thanks to Nick van de Wiel and our photographic expert Emil von Maltitz. Both of them had an in depth knowledge of photography and who gently and patiently nudged me up a very steep learning curve! We were a happy, cohesive group made so by the huge efforts of Nick, his wife Freya and of course Emil. They made every effort to ensure that everyone's needs were catered for and that we indeed got value for money. My heartfelt thanks to them and my fellow students for making this truly, a trip of a lifetime.

South African Honeymoon
5/5

We had some pretty high expectations for our honeymoon, and Roho Ya Chui went above and beyond to make our trip amazing. Our agent was Ute, and she put together a perfect itinerary. We wanted to make a few modifications and she was very attentive and helpful to work with. We were able to do and see everything that we wanted and the itinerary had everything planned out perfectly. If we were to go on another safari, we would definitely work through Roho Ya Chui.

Big 5 in two game drives!
Overall rating
5/5

Sabi Sands is a great private park to spend your dollars. The rangers are really good en you can go off road and see all the animals up close! We stayed here for three nights and did 6 game drives. The first 2 game drives we saw the big five! We stayed at Cheetah Plains for 2 nights and 1 night at Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge.
It is a shame it's nog easy to go from one lodge to another through Sabi Sands. We had to go out via de Gowrie Gate, drive south en go back in via Shaws Gate. That took us 4 hours! Tip: Book your safari experience at one lodge!

Scenic Views of Ngorongoro crater
Overall rating
5/5

We did a day trip to the Ngorongoro crater and wished we could have stayed longer. The scenery was incredible, the crater is huge and filled with a lot of wildlife. We say 4 of the big 5 animals, although the rhino's were further away and wished we could have seen them closer. The transport was comfortable and we were able to have the roof open to see the animals. Unfortunately the rain came and the animals scattered. Muhammad, our driver was very accommodating, helping us find all the animals and stopping to let us watch them.

Excellent even in the details
5/5

Our group consisted of eight Norwegians of which three had been to South Africa before. We heard about Giltedge Africa (Southern Africa Travel) from ATG of Oxford. The dialogue with Giltedge Africa was a constructive one with good proposals and swift reactions. We received much appreciated advice on the safari part - Savanna Private Game Reserve - where Giltedge Africa in the end was very clear for which all the participants were very grateful. It was an excellent experience. Giltedge Africa also assisted in confirmation of some choicy restaurant bookings. All the bookings worked out. We were overall very pleased with the service level - swift reactions and clear advice - and even in the details, all worked out. The car was there when it should and the car guide was well suited to the group and its proclivities. If we were to do a South African trip again, and we might, Giltedge Africa would be the obvious cboice as tour operator.

A memorable experience
5/5

We had the chance to visit Tanzania earlier this year and be in a awesome contact with its stunning nature and welcoming people. Best Safaris organized for us an amazing private safari (3 days) giving us the opportunity to enjoy the best national parks and see animals while learning a lot about them, their habits, dynamics but also about vegetation and local population. Our guide, Goody, was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable and Peter a very sociable and professional person we could rely on for the organization of the tour. All the rules agreed before hand were respected and we got back to Belgium with an amazing recollection of Tanzania. I recommend anyone to try Best Safaris when discovering the natural beauty of Tanzania.

One of the best places to view wildlife in KwaZulu-Natal
Overall rating
5/5

One of my favourite parks in South Africa, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi has so much to offer visitors. It’s excellent Big Five territory, and the landscape, which varies from gentle woodland savannah to rugged flood plains, is beautifully wild.
Years ago, Hluhluwe and Imfolozi were two separate parks. Imfolozi became known as being ground zero for Operation Rhino, Dr Ian Player’s very successful initiative to bring the white rhino back from the brink of extinction. Today still, the park is a very good place to see white rhinos. Also in the Imfolozi section of the park are the famous wilderness trails, where you go out on multi-day walks through areas accessible only on foot. These walks are not for the faint-hearted, but should be on the top of every serious nature-lover’s bucket list.
Hilltop Camp, in the Hluhluwe section, is the park’s flagship camp. It feels something like a resort, with a busy restaurant (with incredible views out and down over the park) and shops, and there is a variety of accommodation available here. Throughout the park, there is a variety of accommodation that suitable to different size groups: rondavels, cottages and what once were warden’s houses.
The last time I was at Hluhluwe-Imfolozi I came across five collared wild dogs that had recently been released. They’d just killed an impala, and the twilight battle between the dogs and three hungry hyenas will always stick in my mind as a true indication of survival in the wild.
