An adventure everyone should do!
South Africa was more than we had expected, absolutely beautiful! This was a bucket list trip and South Africa did not disappoint us.
Umkumbe Lodge was very nice and the people who work there were very nice and accommodating. The safari tour guides were extremely knowledgeable which made the trip even better.

Beautiful country with so much to offer tourists
On our second visit to South Africa we stayed a week in Franschhoek in the Winelands area. This is a lovely large village with many excellent restaurants, a fabulous Saturday market with lots of craft and local food stalls, and of course many local wineries to visit. We absolutely loved our time there and felt very safe walking to and from restaurants in the evening. We then moved on to Hermanus on the coast to do some whalewatching. This is a much larger town but again with many good restaurants and safe walking at night. it was coming to the end of the whale season but we saw several, firstly on a trip with Southern Right Charters who we would recommend, and then from the clifftop walks which are very accessible.
The food in restaurants is really good and extremely reasonable, aided by the favourable GBP/Rand exchange rate.
From Cape Town we then flew up to the Timbavati Game Reserve for a 4 night safari arranged by Indigo Safaris, who we would also recommend for their organisation of our trip. Timbavati is at the edge of the Kruger and is home to the Big5 all of which we saw. Have only given the Wildlife 4 stars though as animals were rather scarce we felt, but as I have said, we did see all the Big 5 and a lot of other animals too as well as some beautiful birds (though we are not birders). Everywhere was very dry while we were there, but they had had a few days of heavy rain just before we arrived and the rainy season was about to start when apparently the rivers would be full, whereas we were driven along the sandy river beds!
Everywhere we went in SA we were impressed by the smiles on the faces of all the local people, who were very friendly and welcoming.
We can't wait to return, in hopefully two years time.

Great service
The game drive was booked as a last minute thing for a friend and his family and friends the team at safari bookings were very professional and very efficient in organising the game drive for 24 of us . I'd recommend booking any excursions in kenya with safari booking . 5 star

Excellent value tour with great guide
We just finished a great five day tour with our guide Edward. It was excellent value for money, we saw some wonderful scenery and animals, and the organisation from the company and guide was good throughout. Edward was knowledgeable, happy to answer questions, and keen to ensure that we had a good time. Would recommend.

The Best !
We had a wonderful stay with the Kimgoni agency.
Everything is flexible according to your wishes. Listening so that your stay suits you.
There is what you have planned with them in advance, according to your wishes, and there are the readjustments on site.
We were lucky to have the best duo!
Guide Ayubu and cook Julias, they are both great, attentive, passionate, patient, professional, natural...
Our trip was perfect and full of lots of things.
A big thank you to the Kimgoni team!
We recommend with your eyes closed

Fantastic tour and services.
The itinerary was not only brimming with excitement but also meticulously planned to perfection. What truly stood out, however, was the impeccable service provided by the staff. Their dedication and warmth elevated the entire experience, making it not just enjoyable but genuinely memorable.

Travelling to Africa made super easy. Absolutely loved my trip. Value for money, for sure!
Planning a trip to an African country was not easy for me as I had never been out of Asia. However, Apodiformes and Sebastian (+254 794 332694) made it so easy.
Following are some of the things that made this trip extremely safe and wonderful for me
1. Sebastian knows the local people and the national parks really well and that helped us to spot more wildlife. We spotted almost all animals and even spotted a few endangered bird species.
2. I'd never seen a rainbow before. So I was very excited to see three rainbows in a day. Sebastian is really empathetic and understood by excitement for it, and waited for as long as I wanted. He is very patient.
3. Very professionally and kind service. They provide the cheapest rate with great service. I don't think anything negative comes to mind when I think about the trip. When we ran out of KES, he paid for us, made sure we didn't feel a slight bit of inconvenience and later helped us to get our USD converted.
I'm super happy with Sebastian's and Apodiformes' service! Keep up the good work

A wonderful safari with beautiful persons

Abdi was so right!
Abdi was our guide for 6 days of safari.
I would take too much time to say how wonderful he is.
Helpful, kind, funny and with such knowledge! He answered every questions we had!
What’s best about Abdi is that he doesn’t follow the routes, literally speaking, he will take you where nobody does so you will feel like you are alone in the parc (which is great because sometimes there can be a lot of vehicules together)
Thanks to him, we got to see so many animals, even the rare one’s because he is not just driving but he is really looking for the animals and he has a PERFECT sight (eagle’s eyes!!!)
Abdi has been doing this for 20 years now and he is still very passionate about his work.
We will miss him a lot.
Soon we will be back in Tanzanie and we will go straight to Abdi for sure!
