Kathi was responsive, organized, and dedicated to making our honeymoon incredible!
Our honeymoon with African Welcome Safaris was amazing. We were referred to Kathi by friends who raved about their trip, and we were not disappointed! We started in Cape Town and the winelands (Babylonstoren) and closed out with a safari in Kruger. Everything was incredible and extremely well-organized by Kathi - the itinerary was well-planned and clear, and we didn't have to worry at all about transportation or what was next, while also having enough time at each place to not feel rushed. If we tried planning this ourselves it probably would have been more expensive and very complicated, so we can't recommend Kathi and African Welcome Safaris enough!!
Kathi Simon organized one of the highlight vacations of my life!
From from the very beginning of our interactions with Kathi, everything was clear and concise. We came to her for a second price estimate and ended up going with her because we felt the value and service were there. From the moment we landed in Cape Town until we departed from Johannesburg there was not a single hitch in the itinerary. She allocated the right amount of time to each stop. My wife and I have traveled to all seven continents now and this was a highlight of those travels without a doubt. When my wife thought back about Botswana, she began to cry out of happiness and said she wanted to return.
What more could you ask for but easy communication, reliability, good monetary value for what you’re getting and an experience of a lifetime!
Incredibly helpful and attentive!
The safari was amazing (Simbavati Waterside) and Kathi was super helpful getting things organized. We had some travel hiccups and she was super helpful in adjusting plans mid-trip. Would not use anyone else!

Excellent rip from start to finish!
We recently returned from an exceptional family journey through South Africa, Botswana, and Zimbabwe, all flawlessly arranged by Africa Welcome Safaris. From the outset, Kathi and her team demonstrated a deep understanding of the region and an impressive ability to curate a trip that felt both seamless and refined. Every detail — flights, luxury accommodations, private transfers with drivers, a well-planned self-drive segment, and unforgettable safari experiences — was perfectly coordinated and prepaid, allowing us to travel without a single logistical concern. The itinerary flowed effortlessly across three countries, with excellent pacing and thoughtful transitions throughout. The lodges and camps were outstanding, combining comfort, style, and superb locations, while the safari experiences were consistently high quality and well matched to our family. It was clear that this was not a generic itinerary, but a carefully crafted trip designed around our preferences. The overall experience felt smooth, exclusive, and completely stress-free. We would highly recommend Africa Welcome Safaris to anyone seeking a well-planned, high-end safari experience and would gladly work with Kathi again for future travel to Africa.
They saved me lots of time & effort in trip planning, and my family had a wonderful trip to Africa!
As a person who never uses travel agents, I turned to Africa Welcome Safaris as I found myself somewhat overwhelmed by the prospect of planning a trip to Africa on my own from the USA with no help and a lot of logistical hurdles going to places I had never been before. So following Fodors recommendation, I reached out to Africa Welcome Safaris, and they gave me a great proposed itinerary for the places I wanted to go within a price range that worked for me. This saved me lots of time and effort, and they answered all the questions that I asked during the planning process. They also arranged all Africa airplane transit (of which there was a lot) and tour guides for my family in advance, and everything went according to plan on the trip itself! We loved all of the places we stayed, including the Kapama River Lodge private game reserve next to Kruger and the Victoria Falls Safari Club, which were just delightful and also had delicious food! Overall, we had an amazing trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe, and I am very happy that I used Africa Welcome Safaris and highly recommend them! They definitely made it easier to plan this major trip.
