Amazing desert colours, the night sky heavy with stars
Mighty nature that grabs you and make you feel as small as any grain of the desert sand.
Amazing desert colours and velvet vibe of the sunset touching not only the eyes, but the soul too. The night sky was heavy with stars that seemed to pour down on the Earth.
Gloomy, stormy ocean, cute giraffes and baboons...
Delicious meal, cossy desert camps, attractive people friendly and positive.
Art, crafts and souvenirs you buy from everywhere will keep your memories more live and colourful.
Namibia is in my heart.

Truly a once in a lifetime experience
Our trip to Chobe and the Okavango Delta was wonderful in every way. The game drives were our favorite part of the trip where we were able to view so many different animals including critically endangered species, but every activity was well planned and offered something new and exciting. The lodges were a perfect adventure in themselves. The camp staff, guides, and management were all so kind and attentive to our needs. Botswana is such a unique place and we were beyond grateful to Ilona for planning every detail of our perfect safari.

Spectacular
I went on the Gems of Africa 3 day safari to inverdoorn and it was everything I imagined and more. The staff was attentive, the grounds and rooms were spotless, and the safari and guide was well informed and you could just tell how much he loved the wildlife and his job.

Your Holiday Abroad is a top notch operator and very helpful at every step!
I was looking to go to Zanzibar and needed help to organize my trip. It was my first time visiting the country and it was a solo trip so I had to figure it out from scratch.
Zena was super helpful especially on the visa aspect. It's always a hassle having a Senegalese passport and it was such a smooth process. She was always a phone call or text away at all times. Also I liked all the recommendations of places to visit and that it wasn't a rigid structure. I was able to create an itinerary that matched the vision I had.

We had a terrible experience with this African safari company and felt misled. We do not recommend their service.
Unprofessional and misleading experience – we cannot recommend this company.
We won a bid for a safari trip through a school gala event organized by "Charity Booster," with Run Wild African Safaris serving as the vendor. Unfortunately, this has turned out to be the worst travel experience of our lives.
From the start, it was clear that this is not a legitimate operation. Communication has been horrendous, with phone calls going unanswered and emails often receiving responses weeks or even months later. The level of dishonesty is staggering—they lie, they lie, they lie!
Before our trip, we were asked to pay unexpected fees $9000 upfront, but we never received a proper itinerary or any detailed information. As a family of four with two children, we were left completely in the dark about what to expect. No pictures, names of hotels, or camping details were shared before our departure. What upset me the most was the unauthorized changes made to our trip.
1. Changed Itinerary: The itinerary provided was vastly different from what was promised. We were misled with the offer of a “free upgrade” and ended up spending four nights in a remote area described as a semi-desert. Despite explicitly requesting to stay in a Botswana safari camp, we were relocated to an obscure location in Zimbabwe that is not even an authentic African safari destination—it’s a mining zone.
2. Misrepresentation of Accommodations: We were told via phone that we would be staying in the “most luxurious” camp available, which could accommodate up to 13 people. They even encouraged us to bring more family members to increase their profits. Shockingly, no photos or information regarding the camp name, food, or accommodations were ever sent to us. It was only through a friend who participated in the bidding process that I learned there would be no electricity, Wi-Fi, or air conditioning at the camp. In reality, we were placed in a tiny, rough tent, far from the luxurious experience that had been promised.
3. Delayed Itinerary Release: To further complicate matters, they withheld our itinerary until just three days before the trip, despite our persistent requests for ten months. They appeared to have intentionally kept us in the dark, knowing that we would be forced to accept their terms with no ability to cancel.
4. Excessive Additional Charges: We were informed of an added fee of $3,500 for “private cross-country vehicle transfers, mandatory taxes/levies, tribal community conservation fees, and wildlife conservation fees.” However, since we will only be staying in Zimbabwe for four nights due to the last-minute changes, the private cross-country transfers are nonsensical and feel like a blatant rip-off.
In summary, our experience with Run Wild African Safaris has been incredibly disappointing and frustrating. We were misled every step of the way, and I strongly advise others to think twice before engaging with this company.

Details determine success or failure. If you can do the details well, you will be excellent.
It is worth experiencing. You will feel the VIP service and have a wonderful memory of your African trip. It is the only choice for Chinese people to travel to Uganda. Hehe! Go out and play! Go out and play!
