Elephant Coast from a different perspective
In the summer of 2013, we had a wonderful holiday! Thanks to “Safari op maat” we experienced the real South-African feeling and we were sure that we would return to this amazing country.
At that time, we had not thought that our next holiday to South-Africa would take place immediately next year but it did. We met each other again on the holiday fair in Utrecht and we decided to visit “the elephant coast” once more but then from a different perspective. .
A guided travel plan was organized, which took 5 days longer compared to our previous visit. At our request, we visited Tembe Elephant Park and St Lucia again. The rest of the destinations were new for us.
During the first week we traveled through “the Dragon Mountains” where we stayed at different locations in the area. The accommodations were truly fantastic and the views breathtaking. The area was great to take beautiful walks and if you’re less mobile you also could enjoy the amazing views from camp.
After “the Dragon Mountains”, we travelled to national parks with many wild animals and few tourists. There we were able to experience the African feeling by going on safari by foot and tracking rhino’s. In between the different national parks, we enjoyed a couple of days in Sint Lucia. The accommodations chosen by “Safari op maat” varied from good to very good and the visited wild life parks were astonishing. As during our first holiday, the guide did everything to give us a memorable experience and he did it again!
Thank you again for this wonderfull and memorable holiday.
Great experience - we had a fantastic safari due thanks to the Grassroot Sarari team!
The Grassroots Safari team combines the unique values of a) understanding a visitors preferences/references and b) ability to translate this leveraging their local knowledge and connections - setting up every trip for success! We saw the big five within 36 hours :) thanks Grasstoot Safari team!

Best trip ever!!!!
What an amazing trip! We first met our guide, Anicet Philip, at the Dallas Travel and Adventure show. We knew exactly who would be taking us on our safari. Communication with him was excellent from the beginning which made the booking process smooth sailing. Once we got there everything was just as Anicet had described. He was such a wonderful guide...full of knowledge! We traveled with 3 small children ages 5, 8, and 10, and Anicet was fantastic with them. He explained everything to the kids and even taught us all some Swahili. He was extremely accommodating of our desires. He was so great at putting us right on top of all the animals. We saw them all! He even surprised us one day with a lunch in the bush with a private chef and everything. We had no idea that was going to happen! I cannot praise Anicet enough. Not only is he a wonderful guide, but he's become a friend to us. Everything was perfect on our trip, and if we ever went back we would definitely use him again.

Good experience, excellent servise from operators
Our safari trip to Selous game reserve was perfectly organized. We stayed two nights at a budget accomodation. It was perfectly suitable for us. We had a driver/guide and a chef with us. The food was so good and it was more than enough for us. We took a full day game drive which was a good experience. I would not recommed the walking safari. It was just walking in the near by forest and looking at the baobab trees and other vegetation. Not a good experience. Consentrate on the game drives. Those will give you so much more.

Kenyan custom safari
Our safari adventure was perfectly tailor-made to our wishes of having the safari experience and getting a taste of the real Africa. We couldn't have asked for a more dedicated and thoughtful service from Safari Joe. Their attention to detail was fantastic, as was their knowledge of Kenyan wildlife, which was certainly put to the test by our inquisitive son, Charlie.
We crammed an enormous amount into our two week stay, but wished we could have stayed longer. Our cycle safari through Hells Gate National Park was completely amazing, and seeing the sunrise in the Masai Mara was awesome. Camping next to hippos was a first for us, as was chilling in our beach front chalet on the Indian Ocean! So many amazing memories!
Steph and Tony provided us with wonderful food for the entire trip and the most excellent company. We dearly hope we can go back again for a new adventure with them and Safari Joe. We can't recommend them highly enough. Totally brilliant!!
