Johannesburg to Kruger
Gail organised a self-drive holiday for my family and I. We enjoyed sight seeing and tours in JHB and then drove to Kruger and did some pre-booked game drives with a ranger and then drove ourselves through Kruger too. WOW, we saw all the big 5 and the Kruger amazed us. When we dropped the car off there was some confusion over car seat payments but Gail quickly organised a refund.

Unique experience and professionalism
I am back to my home country and we would like to thank you for a wonderful trip.
The souvenirs we will keep for life time are unforgettable.
ALthough we did not expect to be on the road for so long, each and every attraction was unique and special.
Kenya walking Survivors planned well our trips, our pick-ups and accompagnement.
Your services are remarkable and the people you work with are so professional.
We will never forget David who was our guide and I would like to thank him so much for taking care of us.
He was particularly attentive to our requests and to what we wanted do.
The flexibility the company showed is also remarkable given that this was a set program.
Finally, the choice of hotels and lodges are just Great.
Hope to be able to do more next time.
Gail is prompt, available, knowledgeable, thoughtful,constantly attentive and detail focussed
Gail immediately made us feel confident we were in safe hands and she had experi need much of what we were doing herself which is crucial. We were safe in the knowledge that not only was Gail on hand but that a local team member was also available and reached out on numerous occasions to make sure we were happy wth everything. Despite a lot of travelling and many connections as we toured there was never any doubt we were being well looked after. Travel was seamless. We had one minor hiccup early on but this was quickly rectified and Gail’s team responded perfectly. There were some extremely touching moments where Gail had arranged special dinners and small tokens marking my wife’s birthday. The trip had a really classy feel to it thanks to Gail.

Fantastic experience. Shaheen and Fareen are amazing and provide first rate personal service.
We have travelled with Wild Destinations twice now and both of our parents have gone as well. We have no hesitation in recommending them. They provide customized itineraries and put a great deal of thought into the parks to go to and what the best accommodations would be. We travelled with our two boys (9 and 11) and Shaheen and Fareen made sure that their interests were taken into account. They had an amazing experience. If you go with Wild Destinations I have no doubt you will have a trip of a lifetime.

Amazing experience
Our experience during the safari in Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngoro Ngoro was absolutely amazing. We have been really impressed not only by the wildlife but also by the landscape and the experience with the people.
Our guide has been really professional and friendly, we sincerely hope he gets the right salary for the hard work he does: driving for ours, making sure we enjoy the safari and see all the animals, taking care about our accommodation and carrying all the necessary stuff.
Only negative side were the toilets at the camping site in Serengeti, they for sure require more care and cleaning, also considering the cost of the safari, they should be improved.

Botswana Wildside, superb safari.
This was our 5th Sunway Safari, and we are in our mid and late 70's. Although we had done this safari before (2009), it was so good that we wanted to take our daughter on it. It not only lived up to expectations, but exceeded them. Our guides Wayne and Zambo were amazing, full of knowledge, which they readily passed on to us. Wayne was a wonderful cook ( we are vegetarians ), which helped make our holiday great. The banter between Wayne, Zambo and all of us turned a great safari into a superb one. Not only did we see some amazing animals, but we came away knowing far more about them thanks to Zambo and his in depth knowledge. Although very hot up to 43deg, we would highly recommend this trip.

Outstanding service which guided me from initial inquiry to changing home bound flight:
It was like having a friend in the business: comforting to say the least

An epic climb with a great company
I'm so glad I went with Barafu for my climb. Having completed a few different similar trips around the world, I can easily say Barafu is among the best. Being a smaller company, you get a very personalised service and it really makes a huge difference.
Our guides, Sauly & Jonas were awesome. They were always in touch with where we were and made sure we always knew what was happening and were safe/comfortable. Our vitals were checked nightly during a briefing about the next day.
The food was amazing, with a good variety and great quality. The porters and whole team during the climb were great. They were friendly and engaging with us and getting into camp each day to find warm washing water, a setup tent and fresh popcorn was a welcome treat.
While on our climb, it became very obvious that there is a big difference between companies and the level of service - it made me really glad we went with Barafu. I honestly can't say enough good things about the whole trip with the Barafu team, especially our guides, they were amazing.
