Punctual, reliable and well organized tour in a paradise like place. Excellent guide. Recommended+++
Everything went as expected: the planning, the car, the boat, the accomodation (could improve a bit maybe).
Even the two short Thunderstorms and heavy rain stopped on time to allow us, with the help of our excellent guide, to climb and meet with the Chimps. Marvelous, thrilling, and upsetting experience!
This Tour is highly recommended.

A short visit to paradise
Myself and 2 friends booked 3-day Gombe Stream. It was a no-frills trip to possibly the most beautiful place on earth! Everything worked fine, simple and efficient service (basically just booking the flights and getting us from A to B to C etc.) . Totally worth the reasonable price. Lovely boat ride on the lake, simple but good accommodation, fantastic Chimp viewing and forest walk, great bathing in the lake - just relax and have fun in this very un-touristy and atmospheric corner of Africa. Recommended for nature lovers, not for the over-pampered.

Well planned and well organised
I had a great time in Kruger national Park and Nkambeni Safari Camp.
Everything was so well planned and executed and there were no problems at any point. Also we never felt it was unsafe.
Thoroughly enjoyed the Big 5 game drive and also the Panorama route on the day of return.
Booking process was very easy and Getaway Africa staff are extemely professional, informative and always reachable.

A Christmas Holiday to remember
My wife and I have just recently returned from a safari set up by your company. We absolutely loved every minute of it and was sad that it had to end. We would like to thank you all and in particular Chris Worden for giving us a holiday to always remember. Every detail was meticulously planned and catered for from beginning to end and every part of the journey went so smoothly. We met by reps at each leg of the trip and the staff at the camps Linkwasha and Musango were fantastic. The stay at Illala Lodge was out of this world and would go back tomorrow. We were a bit worried about the time of year concerning game viewing and heat but there was no need to worry as we saw fantastic wildlife and even a lion kill and we survived the heat of the Zambezi Valley by plenty of sundowners and a copious amount of drinks and good food. Even just driving through the bush and bird spotting was brilliant and the friendliness and knowledge of the guides was second to none. Thanks for the holiday Jim and Pat McGinness

Perfect arrangements & Fast Service
We spent 10 days in SA going around many places in Dec'16. Every aspect was arranged perfectly and went really smooth. Our flight to CapeTown was very delayed and our pickup vehicle couldn't find us but the attention provided to us through customer service was really quick & professional and we got our pickup arranged in no time. Our special thanks to the Megan & Matthys for taking special care in suggesting the best ones considering our 2 young boys and our group of 8. Even though we have travelled across the world quite a lot we wanted to go with private guided tour this time and i should say we got the best guides from HiltonRoss arranged by DiscoverAfrica team during our CapeTown stay. The whole trip was very memorable just because of the people part of Discover Africa group.

Fantastic tour!
Antony was our tour guide for a 4 days so we could visit Amboselli National Park and the elephant orphanage and also to Giraffe Manor.
Antony was beyond attentive, his attention to detail was amazing, anything we asked for wasn't a problem, he went out of his way to make those days exactly want we wanted - we wish we could have stayed with him longer, but we'd already booked other tours before we left home in Aus.
We look forward to returning to africa one day and plan to use Antony's services again!

Unique experience in Kruger National Park with Shinzelle Safaris
We are very happy about our choice and had an amazing experience with Shinzelle, Brandon and Danielle.
First of all:
A Safari is an expensive thing to do and there is a lots companies you have to choose between. Some will treat you as a mass tourist, traveling around in big groups, and others will make it a quite personal and therefore unique experience. We couldn't imagine a more personal experience than the two gave us - so if you are looking for that, you found it.
Safari and tours:
Brandon is a skilled, passionate and experienced guide for over 10 years now. He was as excited as we were watching the animals - except impalas, they are just everywhere :D.
we were two days out in kurger national park with him and it was just awesome.
brandon gave us tons of information about the flora and fauna and the landscape of the park. as you are out in nature, of course, there is no guaranty for animal spottings and good weather. we got really lucky and saw all of the big five and many other fascinating animals as well. but whatever might happen, brandon surely will make the best out of it :).
we also decided to do the panorama tour on day 2, which is as well recommendable and allows you to relax a bit, just ask them about it :).
accommodation and food:
accommodation will depend on availability. we stayed in a beautiful spacy hut on the brink of a creek build on stilts. you will be accompanied by the sound of birds and amphibia - therefore you will never lose touch with nature, which we enjoyed.
the food was amazing! or as they say in SA "lekker"! Danielle is a professional chef and everything she prepared for us was delicious. for the two of us it was way too much to eat so you most certainly won't have to be afraid to stay hungry. also, we were very happy to hear, that the leftovers will be given to charity!
All in all we fell in love with the place and this lovely couple and their efforts. we couldn't have chosen better and would totally recommend this tour with "Shinzelle Safaris" (which means honey badger in Englisch :).)

Great experience - smooth arrangements
We spent from 22 Dec to 1 Jan in Tanzania, and Rose took care of our arrangements. Normally we would do logistics ourselves, but given we were moving around camps, and had a strong recommendation from friends to go through Rose, we decided to use Luxury Safari.
Really pleased with the camps they arranged, Sayari and Kusini. Also, we had to change flight arrangements slightly and they organized the accommodation and connections to adjust for this.
It was a great family trip, and we have fantastic memories. Worth the investment!

Effective communication and exceptional service.
We booked a conference package with Sally & Andy from ATC and we were pleasantly surprised by their attention to details and great service. I would recommend ATC very highly to anyone looking for a professional company to handle the entire reservation process.

Amazing safari experience
4 days of amazing safari experience with Peace Matunda.
We were warmly welcomed the day before the safari by Kaaya and his team. The room was very nice, comfortable, with hot water.
We left the next day for 4 days of safari in the Serengeti and the N'gorongoro crater. We traveled the parks with the helpful comments of Robert, our driver / guide and our chef Peter took care of us all along. The food was delicious and the service at the top.
We have slept in the public camps but with equipment offering above average comfort (cots, mattresses, blankets, clean sheets). We were in the middle of the park, with buffaloes, monkeys, gazelles, etc. all around the camp, really nice!
We were both of us, which allowed us to thoroughly enjoy a tailor-made safari and intimate with nature.
The Peace Matunda project, which helps disadvantaged children, is great. We really recommend doing a safari with them, it is a fabulous and unforgettable experience.
Asante sana and we hope to see you again ;)
