Great set up and trip!
Megan was great at putting together trip options when we were first starting out search. I loved how she laid out the options and worked with us based on our priorities (game drives!). The links that she sent us were pretty good at laying out the properties and such, but the itinerary (down to the nitty gritty) was a little confusing. We weren't entirely sure how many activities we'd have each day at each location. We were a little surprised that the days leading up to the event we didn't hear from anyone from the lodge group or from Discover Africa - everything worked out great, but we were a little nervous as we'd never been to Africa and weren't quite sure what to expect. The other point of confusion was that our trip was always quoted to us in USD and we were told that if we booked by a certain date we'd be guaranteed that rate, however when we were actually charged on our credit card it was charged in ZAR so through the exchange rate it came out higher than what we had been quoted in USD. I understand why this needed to happen, but I think it should have been clear that the quote was actually in ZAR and that the exchange rate would obviously fluctuate.
The trip itself through Sanctuary Retreats was phenomenal! They really took care of us starting from when we stepped out of the airport in Zambia. I love how each of their properties had different activity options so you could do more than just game drives (even though those were the show-stoppers) - but I really enjoyed the mix of water/boating activities as well. We saw all of the Big 5 on our trip and loved how we had the same guide for the duration at each camp. Also be prepared that you will be VERY well fed!

Cheerful, friendly warm welcome
I have used Pro Shuttle services a number of times. The service is always professional, cheerful and friendly.
The rates are very competitive.
I'm glad to see he is branching out into taking tours and I expect these will be good fun and well organised.

3 Day Camping Tour in Chobe
I had a great time. Tony was a great animal tracker. He knew all the people in the park, so every time we passed someone, he would be able to find out where the animal were or weren't (determined which way he drove). He knew the park extremely well and very educated on all the animals. He allowed me to pick if we kept going or watched the animals. He was ready to go whenever I was. Food was good (gourmet for camping) and they did all the tent set up and break down, digging wholes, etc (I just sat, drank tea/coffee and watched). You didn't have to worry about anything but watching animals. Super nice tour guide and had a cook/another help. They did a great job and saw lots of animals.

Exceptional Service, Great Value, Sincere People
We've used Green World for several purposes over the last 6 years, mainly for driving around the country and also for a safari. My wife and I have worked with a community in northern Uganda for over a decade, and Green World has made transit the least of our worries. When we decided to take our honeymoon in western Uganda, they were there for us with a very flexible driver and great suggestions on activities. Being with their drivers is like taking a trip with a good friend. Before we knew of Green World, we tried other options, and the friendly, knowledgable, capable drivers of Green World have been our best bet. Many thanks to Betty, Moses, Alex, and the rest of their team!

The perfect Safari: tree weeks individual journey through Uganda
My wife and I travelled with Frank all across Uganda. He had set a detailed plan for us upfront and we did improve and adjust this plan together before and during the trip. The outcome was perfect: we had the chance to spend sufficient time at all the interesting places (Lake Mburo, Bunyonyi, Kisoro, Lake Mutanda including a hike and a cruise in dug out canoe, Bwindi, Queen Elisabeth NP, Kibale Forest, Murchison Falls and Sipi River). Frank's suggestions for accommodation and itinerary always met our expectations. He seems to be personally acquainted to everybody along the road. Frank solved all unforeseen issues during our trip. He is very knowledgeable about Uganda's ecology and of course he knows his flora and fauna, particularly birds and mammals. I highly recommend travelling with Frank, he is a very reliable and pleasant and helpful travel companion. Frank is excellent in communication with his clients, by mail during the preparation of the trip as well as during the journey.

memories to last forever
My most recent trip with Rowly took us on a canopy zipline adventure through south africas 2nd largest indigenous forest, we saw spectacular views of karkloof waterfall, swam in the tidal pools throughout ballito and took photos in the natural hole in the rock, walked amongst the rich through umhlanga rocks and just had an overall memorable and happy experience :)

Unforgettable Family Adventure”
We have just returned from an amazing safari adventure guided by Edward from Landside Adventures.
Landside Adventures is a very serious company.
We were very pleased for all the organization.
It was an exceptional experience. A lot thanks to Edward. He was truly the perfect guide. He has a great knowledge about nature, animals and plants. He's a safe driver and a great mechanic, and most of all he is a good man. He is sensitive to all that happens around him and he knows how to reach everyone.
We will recommend Landside & Edward to all our friends.

Out-of-this-world adventure thanks to PaperJet
We had the trip of a lifetime in March this year, when PaperJet travel came to our rescue and set us up with simply the BEST safari experience in South Africa. Feeling overwhelmed with planning the trip myself, and knowing very little about the country, we needed all the help we could get - and Justin and his team did not disappoint. They recommended a selection of lodges in our budget, advised on our travel, and ensured we got our very first choice accommodation (these places get booked up quickly!). Their safari guides and handbooks were so helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed to make the most of our trip. They checked in on our trip every step of the way to ensure it ran smoothly, and we cannot thank PaperJet Travel enough!!
