Sandra is the best Agent we have ever had!
I cannot say enough good things about Traipsing Africa and Agent Sandra. We are a family of 5 adults and this was our first visit to South Africa. We value independence, adventure, cultural immersion, and authenticity in our touring and Traipsing supported these values and provided essential advice on safety and cultural appropriateness. Sandra is genuine, listens well, and provided the information we needed to make good decisions with no pressure. Her recommendations were excellent, on point, and of high value. Even on those parts of our trip where we had already booked, Sandra provided essential advice and support, including mapping safe routes. Sandra promised to be on call regardless of whether it was something she booked or we did independently and she held this commitment consistently. She answered out questions promptly and on several occasions, remapped out independent driving routes to provide maximum safety when we veered off our planned course and missed our Kruger Gate and ended up far from our home-base. We give our highest recommendation to Sandra and Traipsing Africa. Our visit to South Africa met all of our highest expectations, and so much more. Sandra was one of the most essential assets we had and are most grateful for her kindness and caring.

Sandra had the whole tour organised to suit our likes, needs and value for money. Fabulous n Honest.
We chatted online and wassapp with Sandra and had all options looked at for what we wanted out of the tour. Sandra’s experience of SA tours and being transparent in dealing with our changes made our decisions easier. She brought value into our itinerary by maximising the possibilities of options in the tight schedule that we had. Access to communications at all times and with a smile at the other end of the world !

Expert staff that make my holiday planning a breeze!!
My enquiries was handled by Sandra. She is efficient, courteous and helpful. Frankly, she is perfect!!
My trip to Pilanesberg National Park went on without any issues. We even added on a last minute transfer booking to Cradle of Humankind and it was handled effortlessly by her.
If you are looking for someone to plan your dream holiday, then Traisping Africa safaris and Tours will not disappoint.
I would 100% recommend!!

Outstanding...Nicole was amazingly attentive, helpful, caring, efficient and wonderful
My 92 year old mom and I enjoyed a fabulous 3 days at black rhino reserve. The lodge is beautiful and extremely well kept , clean, . The staff are so attentive and gave special care and help to my mom at all times. The food was excellent. All in all I highly recommend the whole experience.
Only 1 criticism ...black rhino lodge is not wheelchair friendly which made it a bit challenging for my mom who uses a walker to get around.

Awesome service by the staff, in particolar Sandra Nicol. She organized our Safari in the best way e
Amazing tour operator for Safari, I deeply recommend it. I booked a Safari tour independently from Italy and I have no regrets at all. Sandra Nicol was a perfect virtual travel companion.

What an incredible person Sandra is to deal with
Wow! We dealt with Sandra from start to finish and what an incredible person she is. We had lots of questions and she was so quick to respond. We stayed at The Hide and her communication with them was fantastic. We did our own transfer which got a bit messy, but she was with us every step of the way making sure we were safe and reassuring us that our host was waiting to collect us. Thank you so much Sandra for your kindness. We truly appreciate it and our stay at The Hide was above and beyond what we hoped for.

Perfect
I was looking for a safari for myself and my daughter and came across Traipsing from first enquiry (and a very speedy response) to finalising the final itinerary was simple and quick.
In the end booked a 5 day / 4 night stay at Tambuti Lodge in Black Rhino Park with transfers from and return to J’burg airport.
Sandra messaged just before we left to ensure a smooth arrival, provided sandwiches and drinks for the car journey on arrival and even arranged a last minute change to our pick up time the night before we left.
Such an easy and smooth process, and absolutely outstanding recommendation and everything ran smoothly. Not only would I recommend Sandra and Traipsing to anyone looking to book a holiday I will also be back when I’m ready to book our next one, 5 star service!

A special trip!
A big thank you to Sandra and all the effort she put in to organising a wonderful safari trip for us, Sandra organised part of our holiday from Cape Town to Pilanesberg at Shepherds Tree Game Lodge, we were really happy with the lodge. Sandra was on hand to answer any questions before and during our trip and made sure everything went smoothly, thank you!

Perfect, professional service
I had to organise a safari trip for my dad and two of his friends. Sandra at Traipsing Africa was very helpful in giving us a few options in Pilanesberg and booking a trip to Black Rhino Game Lodge. They had an amazing time there. The service from Traipsing was perfect: Sandra always answered our questions quickly, did the check ins for the flights, and contacted us to make sure the trip was fine. Very professional. I will surely use their service again.

Best Experience Ever!
Exquisite tour at the Lush Private Lodge, an all-inclusive luxurious lodge in the Pilanesberg Reserve (No malaria). Sandra was extremely helpful and accommodated all our needs including transportation to and from the lodge. Sandra was very much responsive. Communications were clear.
Everything developed as planned. No hiccups. Sandra also helped us with suggestions for pre and post safari experiences in Johannesburg and Cape Town. The Gold restaurant in Cape Town is a MUST. We also discovered the Pot Luck Club in Johannesburg (Rosebank), a gourmet experience in tapa sizes.
The team, whether rangers or staff, at the lodge cannot be described in words. Qualifiers are just not sufficient. We were treated beyond what you can imagine. This is a one in a lifetime experience. You might as well treat yourself at this lodge.
I highly recommend Traipsing Africa's Safaris and Tours.
