Far surpassed our expectations:)
I can't say enough about what a wonderful experience working with Red Africa Safari has been. They have been extremely communicative and attentive since the very first email, thoroughly answering all of my questions (even the seemingly small and trivial ones) almost immediately. Not only did they provide me with options for the tour but they worked with every request I made making his a truly unique and customized experience for my family and I. It really took the stress out of trying to arrange such a tremendous experience with little to no knowledge about the area on my part and allowed me to focus on the excitement instead. It was well worth every single penny and by the end of everything I found it to be quite affordable considering all of the accommodations, travel, dining, tours, sights, I mean, the list goes on and on, I feel like I found the deal of the century. I am not typically a "tour" person, I tend to prefer the more independent way of traveling as it feels like you have more control, but this didnt feel like one of those "cattle drive" tours, in fact, by the end of it, our guide Jaco felt like an old friend on vacation with us. He even got me a birthday gift, how thoughtful is that!!! Not only was he personable and friendly to be around, but his knowledge gave the experience a whole new angle. Yes it is beautiful, but it is so much more than that, and without him we never would have had the opportunity to to learn the things we did and see more than just a pretty view. We did absolutely everything we wanted, PLUS some extra stops and never once felt rushed. For that, I cant thank him enough. He even ensured we made our return flight and handled our bags. WOW!! Obviously the game drives and landscapes were amazing but if you're considering this tour I'm sure you already know that so I won't ramble on and on. What I will do is highly recommend this tour operator, you will not be disappointed. It has completely changed my opinion of guided tours and I dont think my trip to South Africa would have been the same without it. Thanks again Jaco!!

Excellent guide, caring , thoughtful and knowledgeable
Communications were great, as with service and quality of accommodations. I had no qualms with any of the operational aspects of the tour. Of course, game viewing is entirely dependent on lucky but our guides made sure they put in their best efforts for us! Thank you both

Look No Further, You Found the Perfect Tour Operator!
Seriously, this was the absolute best experience we could have hoped for! When I first started researching a trip to South Africa for myself, my husband, my parents, and my brother, in honor of his college grdaution, I was considering doing a self-drive tour but my parents requested that I look into having a guided tour. I decided to appease them and do some research. At first, I was astonished at the prices of some of the guided tours I was finding. Then I came across RedAfricaSafaris. The sheer amount of 5 star reviews was enough to make me look into them further, and the quotes for their tours were almost too good to be true. As I started discussing our plans/ideas with Amelia at RedAfricaSafaris, I became more and more convinced that this was the company for us. Amelia was SO incredibly patient while helping us plan the itinerary of our dreams. She answered our questions about the the different locations and activities with thorough, well-informed, and detailed information. We had 5 people on our trip, each with different opinions, tastes, and vastly different ages. Still, Amelia made it easy to pull together a trip that made every single person happy. Upon arrival, our guide Jaco was just the greatest person we could have ever dreamed of. We are not the type of family that usually uses tour guides, and were more than a little apprehensive about this process. However, we couldn't be more glad to have been with Jaco. He was funny, informative, passionate about his job, and an EXCELLENT chef! Seriously, some of our best meals on the trip were the ones he cooked for us. We appreciated him so much. He's a wealth of knowledge about South Africa and a fun conversationalist. We managed to see the Big 5 on our trip, and we learned so much about the landscape, the animals, the birds, the history, the culture, etc. It was the trip of a lifetime. We've already talked about coming back for a safari through Namibia and Botswana and won't consider doing it with anyone but Jaco. I could go on and on, but please have confidence that when you book with RedAfricaSafaris, you're making the best possible choice. The value they provide is out of this world, the people are a delight to work with, and you'll come home extremely satisfied. I almost forgot! Amelia had noticed that my birthday was during the trip and, unbeknownst to me, arranged for the staff of our hotel that night to bake me a birthday cake to celebrate. It was a gesture that was above and beyond. My hat's off to the whole company, and especially to Amelia and Jaco. Thank you all!

A Pleasure
It was very easy working with Red Africa Safaris. Amelia communicated very well and had many wonderful suggestions. She was also patient in answering all our questions.
Our trip was awesome and met or exceeded our expectations. We would use this company again if we get the opportunity to return to Africa.

Perfect trip!
It was such an awesome trip! Thanks to Kegen and Jaco, who are a perfect pair that made the trip so enjoyable for us. We were so fortunate to have seen all the Big 5s, thanks to Kegen who is constantly hunting for them. He is so experienced and know the park so well. Also a fun & lovable guy, never a dull moment with him as he has endless of comprehensive explanation. Kegen also enjoys photography, he positioned the vehicle in such way that we could take great pictures.
Jaco is such a good chef, we were well fed with well balanced and delicious meals prepared by him.
Thanks guys for the awesome holidays, we hope to be back soon for more fun and animals and pics!
Incredible Experience!
Our family was very well taken care of throughout our entire week with Red Africa safari. We are very nature-inclined, and both Jaco and Kegen made sure that we got to observe all the possible animals and fauna. We left Kruger with a fantastic experience of having observed the Magnificent 7, more than a hundred bird species, and tonnes of newly-acquired knowledge about the country, the geology of the land, and the habitat and wildlife. We would totally do this again. Thanks again for having us - we are deeply grateful.
