Amazing service and experience
Traipsing Africa is professional, responsive and trust worthy. I highly recommend using their services for any African travel needs. We were able to get very large complex bookings completed seemlessly.
Thank you!!

Seamless perfection with everything taken care of
Sandra is the best agent I have dealt with thus far. I was trying to plan a safari for a 15 person group and almost gave up in frustration after calling in excess on 10 agencies trying to explain my requirements over and over again only to be disappointed with the options returned. Then Sandra came along....she was the most proactive and efficient agent I have ever worked with and also always available to chat despite a 9hr time difference. She immediately understood what I was looking for in terms of a Safari experience and provided a number of feasible options. Once we booked the accommodation she sorted out all the additional logistics in getting to and from the game reserve. In addition to this she proactively offered her services in organizing extra add-ons like spa treatments. Over and above the safari tour she provided assistance in putting together a "must-see" itinerary for our Cape Town part of the trip which was not required but she just helped us out in all areas of our trip whether it related to her or not.
Traipsing Tours and Sandra have been an absolute dream to work with, I think across our group we have recommended her to at least 10 people thus far. If you want to speak to someone who understands your needs, is responsive and proactive and overall just a friendly, accommodating person then use Traipsing Safari and Tours.
In this day and age it's very tough to find people who take pride in their work and even tougher to find people who go the extra mile, Sandra does both and I feel so lucky to have found her and to have had such an a amazing, seamless and worry free Safari despite the large size of our group.

Very helpful and thoughtful, made our safari much smoother and more enjoyable.
Sandra was extremely helpful during the safari planning process and looked out for us during the trip as well. She found us amazing accommodations at Hamilton’s Tented Camp for our honeymoon (highly recommended for couples, with excellent food and drinks and service), and also helped us when we wanted to plan our own drive through the panoramic route. We also liked that Traipsing Safari is on Whatsapp, which makes it more convenient and Sandra responds very timely, even to our last minute questions during our trip. I recommended Traipsing Safari to my friends and will recommend it to others as well.

Fantastic safari and super helpful staff!
Sandra was so helpful from beginning to end in the booking process. We couldn’t go on the safari we initial enquired about due to our late booking and it being full so Sandra found out what we were looking for, found us a few options and gave advice on what each offered particular to our wants and needs. The actually booking and payment was so easy and Sandra kept us perfectly updated with the process.
We stayed in Welgevonden at Ekuthuleni lodge over Christmas. The safari itself was once in a life time stuff! From the accommodation and game drives to the staff and the setting, everything was brilliant, organised and exactly as Sandra had explained. We didn’t quite tick off all the big 5 but the up close encounters our Ranger managed to get us with the wildlife were truly breath-taking. We would have no hesitation using Traipsing Africa’s again!

The only word to describe Traipsing Africa is 'outstanding'.
Communications between us and Traipsing Africa (TA) were quite extraordinarily good - whether before, during or after our trip. Phone calls and emails to us in both the UK and Africa to confirm the timekeeping of our forthcoming flights demonstrated that we had hour to hour monitoring of our movements. All quite astonishing. Personal service at its very, very best.
We chose our safari camp but TA kept us well in the loop as far as other options were concerned - which was excellent from our point of view.
Our safari was top notch. Game viewing, the camp, the staff, and the whole experience were among the very best we have known over the past 20 years.
We cannot recommend Traipsing Africa highly enough - they are masters of their profession.

Extraordinary personal service, local knowledge & follow up.
Thank you Sandra for making our Garden Route & Madikwe Safari trip such an amazing experience. Thank you for being there all the way, helping us with every little detail. The best personal service, always doing your utmost to make sure everything is ok. Exactly what you need when you travel as a family with children. Thanks for organising the necessary gluten-free options throughout our trip. We would highly recommend Traipsing Africa’s Safaris & Tours to anyone. You are in safe, caring hands.

Great value, very professional
Everything went very smoothly with Sandra checking in every so often in the months leading up to our trip. Then when we were there and got lost en route Sandra was at the end of the phone (and on whatsapp) to help get us back to the right place and also to communicate with the lodge that we were going to be later than expected so that we were reassured that we wouldn't miss our first night safari. Her support was hugely appreciated. Excellent service throughout.

Local safari and transport
All aspects of the experience exceeded our expectations. Communication was quick and through, even providing info about other parts of our trip not booked through this company, when requested. The drivers were polite and professional. The time at the lodge was fabulous.
