A very good experience
We had a 6 day safari covering Masai mara, lake Nukru and Amboseli national parks.
The overall experience was great.
Communication with Robert was easy, the airport pickup was prompt.
Our guide and driver Sammy was great, for drives and explanations.
The stay was good, for budget prices.
The best part was we were able to see all the big 5 on our second day, in the same drive, (two leopards on the same tree !!) , along with the crossing at the Mara river.
I would highly recommend Karibu safaris for anyone looking for a budget safari.

Amazing safari and overall trip, all thanks to our guide!
What an amazing time we had on our tour, able to see the big 5 all in one day! Our driver, James Gichina knew all of the spots and provided lots of information on each animal for us. He allowed us to stay as long as we wanted at each spot and made sure we got the best views of each animal! He was funny, kind, friendly and knowledgable. We will never forget his kind hospitality!

Excellent service I've ever had!
Hi all! My name is Natalya Suprun. First of all I must apologize for my English (I am from Russia).
I want to sincerely thank company "Southern Africa 360 - Luxury Holidays" and personally Nikki Thaver for organizing my holiday in South Africa!
I spent only 15 nights but i visited a lot of place: Johannesburg, Kruger National Park, Swaziland, Durban, Cape Town, Hermanus, Cape Agulhas, Knysna, Oudtshoorn (Garden Route, Drakensberg and other things!)
This is already my third vacation with this company! I have been using its service since 2015 and with their help i have already been twice in Namibia and Zimbabwe. The itinerary offered by "Southern Africa 360 - Luxury Holidays" completely reflects all my interests and preferences in details! Everything is organized at a high level and very professional! Moreover in addition to basic places for visit, I always have something new.
I really appreciate their competence and special attitude to guests! I highly recommend this company to all and i will definitely ask them to create my holiday next time! If I'm going to South Africa I do not have any doubts: my tour operator might be only "Southern Africa 360 - Luxury Holidays"!
Best regards, Natalya Suprun (Russia, Novosibirsk)

Well operated, safe, cheap and fruitful safari
Axis was very well organised, communicative and straightforward in their responses. They accommodated my friend and I on the exact dates we wanted to go even though we booked only a few days in advance. Our guide Joshua was knowledgeable, professional and clear. The long trek out to Maasai Mara was definitely worth the time, as we saw all of the big 5 within 6 hours of game driving. I rate the safari experience overall as a 4 instead of a 5 because my friend and I were stuck in the back of the van the entire drive + game drives, which was extremely bumpy and often uncomfortable. The housing facilities were also quite run down. Word of caution to anyone going - do not visit the Maasai Mara village. It's not worth the money and there are much better ways to visit a local African community if one so desires. Overall, a good value for the money, though I'll probably go for a nicer setup if I return.

An easy way to build your perfect trip
This was our second trip to South Africa with Timbuktu and it was every bit as good as the first. We started by having half an idea of what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go and a combination of playing with the online trip planner and suggestions from Johnny and his team made it very easy to create our perfect trip.
All the accommodation was excellent but the standout experience on this trip was two nights in the signature suite in the fantastic Birkenhead House at Hermanus.
The Timbuktu team is also on hand to help with problems and emergencies. So when i somehow managed to put our passports in someone else's hand luggage between Joburg and Cape Town (!), we had immediate 'out-of-hours' help and advice to aid us through a pretty stressful few hours (fortunately, it ended happily!).

Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park
Excellent service received from Tanja. Her knowledge and experience of the area is exceptional. We can definitely recommend Tanja and African Savanna Travel as a whole.

Personalised professional service that doesn't end with the experience itself.
Once again we really enjoyed a trip arranged by Tifiny and Beck at Off 2 Africa. Tifiny went out of her way to ensure that we had the best possible experience, and despite us having been to Mana many times before, staying at and being pampered by the Ruchomechi staff made the experience so special. What so impressed me was the thoughtfulness on our return when Tifiny took the trouble to email and find out how the trip went.
Will definitely go again using Off 2 Africa once more.

Experience for life
We are very pleased with our experience with Clasic Journey. Our driver / guide was very skilled. He had great knowledge of the wildlife as well as being a very skilled driver. We had wonderful experiences in all nature reserves, but Maasai Mara was the biggest experience. We were welcomed by gentle and friendly people everywhere and both the food and the standard of the tent / room were excellent.

Nine days safari experience
This was our first visit to Africa. The Safari was found and reserved via internet, which always cause some consern but everything was very well organized and followed the given descriptions. During the reservation and planning phase company responded rapidly. The safari itself was wonderful. We saw the big five and many other species in different national parks. The only blame is underestimated travel times due to high traffic and long distances. We had very experienced driver/guide and good chef for us.
