After this trip, I see Jack as family
What a great trip! Our guide Jack ensured we were comfortable and well informed throughout the trip…he went out of his way to make sure we saw the big 5 - lion, buffalo, rhino, leopard and Jeeano Paul.
He was always jolly and prioritised our safety throughout this trip. I can’t recommend this man enough!
I try to reflect after every trip but I feel somewhat discombobulated.
Perhaps the greatest gift an animal has to offer is a permanent reminder of who we really are

Very Professional - would highly recommend them.
Namibia 2024 Tour: Thank you so much Great Explorations for attending to all our reservations for us, (apart from Luderitz & Solitaire) . We did a self-drive budget tour which was great. However, thumbs up, Namibia is not a cheap country to visit, as a South African.
* Hobas Campsite, Fish River Canyon - Campsite stands were not clearly marked out, & very dusty. (Because of no markings, we had 2 German tourists camping on our stand!) Personally, campsite costly & disappointing, albeit in close proximity to the Fish River Canyon. This was not our 1st option, regretfully, Canyon Roadhouse our first choice was fully booked.
*Aus Haven & Rest Camp - Absolutely wonderful with beautiful private ablution. Highly recommended.
* Shark Island, Luderitz - Own Arrangement - what a mistake! Luderitz is so windy that you cannot camp despite the campsite being beautiful. We were saddened that we were not advised, prior to booking and paying directly about the howling winds. Had we known this, we would never have camped. After the 1st night we packed up and left.
*Duwisib Guestfarm - Fantastic - lovely campsite overlooking the Duwisib castle with such peace and quietness. Only 1 stand has electricity.
*Jansen Kalahari Guest farm campsite - Disappointing. Very sandy campsite (no paving nor grass anywhere), ablutions not great - unpaved walking to & from ablutions.
*Elegant Desert Camp, Sossusvlei - Beautiful campsite with lovely ablutions. Winds are difficult to navigate.
*Lagoon Chalets & Caravan Park, Walvis Bay - Very nice indeed. Stunning & modern ablutions with laundromat.
*Alte Brucke Campsite, Swakopmund - A gem. Beautiful grassed stands with private ablutions.
*Daureb Isib Campsite, Uis - Very pleasant with own private ablution.
*Elisenheim Guestfarm, Windhoek- Disappointing so did not camp there despite paying. Found new campsite at Urban Camp which was absolutely amazing.
*The White House, Gruanau - Disappointing
*Amanzi River Trail Campsite, Noordoewer - Superb. Fantastic huge, grassed stands overlooking the Orange River. Tranquility at its best. Pleasant ablutions & very friendly owners.

Incredible tour agency with the most amazing guide (Jack)
Incredible safari with honestly the best driver we could have asked for (Jack). We saw the big 5, and on top of that, various other amazing animals. On top of that, we were able to stay in authentic accommodation, from being in the bush with the Masai to staying next to Naivasha lake with hippos, zebra, giraffe and Laleesh on the accommodation grounds!
We’ve now recommended these guys to everyone. Jack - you were amazing. Thank you for the last 5 days. And to Cynthia, for organising everything for us from
Nairobi. Final shoutout to BoyandCamera for his cinematic footage of the whole trip.

Highly recommend booking with this company
Very fortunate to be guided by Jack who did a brilliant job in expertly guiding our Safari adventure. He is very experienced as was shown on a number of occasions during our game drives. His expertise shone through for example being able to predict the behaviour of animals and place our vehicle in the optimal position to view the animals without interfering with their natural behaviour. Quickly showed us the big five animals and has an incredible ability to spot animals in varied terrain. Would highly recommend!

Thoroughly professional, reliable and courteous operator
From day 1 of the planning process to execution of the plan during the actual trip, White Plains Safari have been amazing. The itinerary was perfect, personal and met our requirements. The logistics were thoroughly planned and executed. Everything went to plan to the clock and it covered well beyond our expectations. The choice of camps, the food, the accommodation and the travel couldn't have been more comfortable.

Professional organizers (JOYINA)
I recently returned from an unforgettable trip to Kenya, and I can't recommend it enough! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and the experience exceeded all expectations.
The journey began with a warm welcome from our knowledgeable and friendly guide, who made sure we felt comfortable and informed throughout the trip. The safari experience was beyond words! We saw the "Big Five" up close in their natural habitat, which was truly awe-inspiring. The Masai Mara was everything I imagined and more—stunning landscapes, breathtaking sunsets, and incredible wildlife at every turn.
Big thank for JOYINA for organizing such a trip.

In one sentence, excellent service and perfect arrangements.
This was a 10 nights safari tour starting off from the legendary Victoria Falls Hotel in Zimbabwe, then went on to three different locations in Botswana. I have been on many safaris before and I can truly say this was an absolutely memorable trip. My contact with the company was with Ms Christelle Huet who has made absolutely marvellous arrangements for us, and very quick responses to any of my questions.
I stayed at the Chobe Botswana Lodge, the Lagoon in Kwando Private Reserve and the 4 Rivers in Okavango Delta, all located in beautiful environments with special characteristics. Excellent service and amenities in all the three lodges, with friendly cheerful staff. I wish to mention also the excellent guides and trackers we had in all three locations. It was incredible the trackers were able to track the wildlife even in tall grass terrains, and we were able to practically see all the wildlife that we wished to see and up close.
Indeed it was a really memorable trip and I highly recommend Gondwana Tours & Safaris to all.

5 star
The experience was great. five stars for the guide, animals and as well as the environment. Tour guide was knowledgeable and did his best to see all major animals. Disclaimer: the trucks can potentially breakdown in the middle of the safari but they all work together to fix the problem.

Unforgettable Safari with an Amazing Guide in Tanzania
We had an unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania, visiting both Nyerere and Mikumi parks. Our guide, Sebastian, was exceptional—kind, knowledgeable, and always ready to assist. The landscapes and wildlife were breathtaking, and the accommodations and food exceeded our expectations. We booked a private tour as a couple, which was perfect for us, though the trip was quite tiring—something to keep in mind when planning. Overall, highly recommended for an adventurous and well-organized safari experience!
