An awesome, inspiring Safari, lead by a knowledgeable, sensitive and efficient Guide ......
We had looked forward to the Safari , knowing it was a dream coming true, but almost as soon as we met our Guide, and chatted during our first day's driving, we knew we were in for an amazing time!
In the lead up to Departure, the communication between Red Africa and ourselves was very prompt and all our questions were answered graciously.
The service and attention we received was friendly and generous and all our accommodation was of a high standard.
Our safari was built around our original requests, and we found a lot of effort had gone into ensuring our hopes and personal interests were met. It more than met our expectations and we hope to one day plan another Safari with Red Africa! Thank you very much for such a marvelous Safari!!

Bird watching in Uganda in 2016 was incredible.
Bird watching is one of my favorite hobbies. My journey started with great expectations because of the number of bird species that I had read about that were available in Uganda. I yarned for that opportunity at least to see a half of all the species available. To achieve this I arranged my camera so well for great snap shots of every species I see. I tell you I was extraordinary blessed. I took several snapshots that shall stay with me for life. It was a marvelous feeling. Thank you gorilla tour booking safaris limited for this incredible journey; the smiles of Ugandan people will stay with me for life.

great adventure
Me and my family booked a four days safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. It was a nice experience. We saw many animals and beautiful landscapes. Lamech and his team were well organized and also flexible and responsive to our wishes.
During these days I felt very comfortable and it was definitely the right choice to book a safari with africansuburbsadventures.

Amazing. The guides were knowledgeable, the cook was fantastic and the trip was spectacular!
The communications were a bit slow because of the time differences, not a company specific issue and if you are planning a trip you should be aware that it takes several days to get emails back and forth.
Also, take a towel. For some reason we didn't think about towels and it just makes your life easier to have a towel!
As far as the actual safari we were pleasantly surprised at almost every turn. We loved our guide and our cook. They were fun to be around and really made the effort to interact and to make sure that we were having a good time and getting a good safari. The number of animals we saw was incredible. We feel like we really lucked out with our trip and driver because we got to see all of the big cats numerous times and also saw more than one black rhino.
We highly recommend Naiman and his team of excellent safari guides. Haji and Pascal and Nelson are truly great guys to spend a week with in the bush!

Review about Marakele National Park by Bert
If you are in the vacinity it may be nice to spend two or three hours here. It's in quite a nice part of the country as far as the scenery goes. But please keep in mind this is a subjective rating and others may have had a greatly different experience.

A Must Visit
Pilanesberg has become one of South Africa's 'must visit' destinations. It's a compact game park which can be reasonably covered in a day visit, with a great variety of large and small game, as well as birdlife. Should you have the privelage to spend more than a day, that would be even better. Accommodation is great and does not lose the bushveld atmosphere. The service is good and friendly and in the many times that I have been there I have not been able to fault the food once. There is a low security risk but as tourists we all need to be security concious no matter where one goes in the world, so don't leave expensive equipment lying around. The weather is great whether sunshine or rain, but keep in mind that December - February are hot months in South Africa, so if you come in those months please don't complain about the heat, just enjoy it. Over-all I can assure anyone that they will look back at a visit to Pilanesberg and never regret making it part of their itinerary. It's a thoroughbred African experience with an entrance fee through the gate of less than 5 Euros per person for the day. (Accommodation in the luxury catagories could of course be quite expensive, but you normally get good value for your money) I hope you consider making Pilanesberg part of your life experience - I'm addicted :-)

Review about South Africa by Bert
South Africa is a beautiful country in it's own right. From the barren Karoo and the Namibian desert sands to the beauty of the Low-veld and the Garden Route.
Beauty is what we create in an unbiased mind that does not compare the what it beholds to what it thinks it should behold.

Trip Of A Lifetime!
Thank you to Kathi of African Welcome Safaris, who put together a wonderful trip to South Africa for a group of friends. From the beginning, Kathi was so helpful and informative. She also answered our e-mails and made recommendations and suggestions before we even arrived. She really went above and beyond. Kathi put together such a great package that we did not have to think about anything - just enjoy ourselves. One of the highlights of our trip was our stay at Tintswalo Manor House. We were treated like royalty. We also had two wonderful tours in Cape Town with Rhys who was so knowledgeable and friendly. We cannot thank African Welcome Safaris enough for putting together this magical trip. We will talk of this trip the rest of our lives! We will recommend African Welcome Safaris to our friends and family.
