Five Star Service - Knowledgeable, Professional and Proactive
5/5

We had an incredible experience planning our trip with Michelle, the owner of Explore and Travel Africa. She dedicated a lot of time and had multiple calls with my family and me to understand our goals and tailor the perfect itinerary. From Cape Town and Stellenbosch to Zimbabwe, Botswana, Hazyview, and Kruger National Park, every detail was thoughtfully arranged.

Michelle booked us at fantastic hotels and lodges, and we felt we had the ideal amount of time in each location. Our guides were reliable, knowledgeable, and added a lot of value to our experience. Transportation was seamless and dependable throughout the trip.

Some of the trip highlights included staying at the Wallow Lodge and enjoying a sundowner overlook of the Gorge, spending a day in Chobe National Park, the breathtaking Panorama Tour, and our unforgettable time at Walkers Plains Camp in Kruger.

We especially want to highlight how impressed we were with Michelle when, despite circumstances beyond her control, she went above and beyond to ensure our trip stayed on track. When a Nor’easter was predicted to hit just as our initial flight to Cape Town was scheduled, our family panicked and we moved up our flight and booked the cheapest room at the first hotel she arranged for us. Michelle proactively contacted the hotel to upgrade us to the Junior Suites we were originally booked in, so we didn’t have to change rooms—a thoughtful and calming gesture.

The second situation was when one of the airports we were supposed to fly into grounded all planes and refused landing. Michelle reached out to us beforehand, giving us a heads-up about the possibility of being rerouted and advising us to still fly to that airport as she would handle logistics. Thank goodness she did, because the airline was not transparent and only informed us upon landing that we would be at a different airport. While other passengers were panicked and shocked, we felt reassured knowing Michelle was already working behind the scenes—securing us a private driver and ensuring we arrived at our destination on the same day.

We wholeheartedly recommend Michelle and Explore and Travel Africa to anyone looking for a well-organized, memorable adventure. Her dedication, professionalism, and proactive approach truly made our trip perfect!

Brilliant.
5/5

Our safari tour was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. The hotel in Cape Town was in an ideal location, making it easy to explore the city. We visited three different wineries — each unique and fantastic in its own way. Cape of Good Hope and the penguins were a joy to see, and Table Mountain was simply magnificent.
The itinerary was perfectly timed and thoughtfully put together based on what we wanted, and all the accommodation throughout was excellent. Nambu Camp stood out for its incredible hospitality — truly the best I’ve ever experienced. We also stayed at Umkumbe Camp, where we got wonderfully close to wildlife and experienced a different part of Kruger Park, offering a fresh perspective on the animals and scenery.
Victoria Falls was another highlight — absolutely brilliant, with accommodation ideally located near the Vic Falls Bridge. The Panoramic Tour in South Africa was also fantastic. Every tour guide and ranger we met was insightful, friendly, and perfectly suited to us.
Overall, a beautifully organized and unforgettable trip.

Fantastic service from day one until trip
5/5

I contacted a few companies re a multi location trip and Explore and Travel Africa were the best response I received and from that moment until my trip the information and options they provided, the service and contact I received and the locations proposed were second to none. The hotel they selected in Cape Town was amazing and had all the other customers on our excursions jealous, the hotel in sari was fab and was a beautiful lodge and the drives were great. The location selected in Thabamati was out of this world.
We also received a lovely touch in our hotel in Cape Town with welcome gifts and the fact I was given their WhatsApp number should there be any issues was amazing service. Everything on the trip ran to plan, the local communication was also great.
I have to say we are looking at potential future trips and I will be using Explore and Travel Africa again for these.

Excellent customer service!
5/5

Michelle is incredible - she listened to what we wanted and put together a great itinerary with some amazing accommodation . South Africa is a fabulous country to explore with Cape Town a must and safari’s a defo must! Can’t wait to go back!

Michelle is very accommodating to all of the questions and needs from far away travelers.
5/5

We absolutely loved the trip. How can one know how to book a 14 day walking safari without the guidance of Michelle? She created a trip of a lifetime and helped with all of the moving parts. We are forever grateful for her services!
