Good service, good planning, everything perfectly arranged.
Excellent communication with Jude. She kept us well informed and sent us information by mail. We where picked up for the safari tour (great).The northern safari was amazing, especially because this was the first encounter with the wildlife. The tents were fine and the food was good. The hotels were also amazing. A taxidriver picked us up. The Southwest safari was even better. The company was excellent. The driver and the tourguide had mach knowledge of thee area and the wildlife. The hotels al Zanzibar were also great. Good beds, good breakfast. Ik was a holiday to remember. Thans a lot.

Another wonderful Masihambe experienc
Wonderful itinerary, accommodation, can't say enough. From top lodge accommodation, to top permanent tent sites.
from Windhoek back to Windhoek with amazing inland coastal , back to inland and Safari experiences. Our expectations were far surpassed, in fact we loved a country we'd barely heard about. The variety of activities on a daily basis were incredible, every day a wonderful experience. the knowledge of the guide was amazing, his knowledge of so many things and places , and wildlife enhanced the tour.
our third Masihambe trip, each one fabulous.

It was an "awesome experience" which was the most commonly used expression within our touring group
From the time we landed in Johannesburg to start our trip with Masihambe Afrika to the final day in Cape town our tour guide Antony and Jude ensured we had a trip of a life time. The scenery is amazing in South Africa with the huge landscapes of the mountain ranges to the beautiful coast line of the Indian Ocean. We went into several safari game parks, which each had there own unique character. Looking for the big 5 was exciting, especially when you saw your first elephant, lion or hippo. Antony, our tour guide was a fountain of knowledge about the safari game park animal and birds. There is so many wonderful memories of this time with our group, so many laughs and good times. I would certainly recommend this trip and Masihambe Afrika Tours to all travellers.

Masihambe Afrika exceeded our expectations in all aspects!
Erika and Eugen want to thank Jude and our most competent guide Anthony for leading us to and through an unforgettable Namibia experience in July/August 2015. Masihambe Afrika is just excellent value for money spend! Hope we can go back to Afrika with Masihambe in the near future.

Brilliant three-country million-animal luxury tour
Jude has designed a tour that takes in all the highlights of northern South Africa (including the Drakensburgs, Kruger National Park and Mapungubwe NP) Zimbabwe (Matapos NP, Hwange NP and Victoria Falls) and Botswana (Chobe, Moremi, Okavango, Khama and Tuli Reserves). And she has done it with style. We did not expect the varied luxury accommodation, the terrific food, the animal encounters, the history, the landscapes, the fun. Couldn't have wished for better guides - Ant, who took all our Kiwi ribbing like a trooper and gave it back with vigour; Ben of the hilarious tales and an amazing ability to find incredible animals (lions on a kill, then jackals and finally hyena and vultures) - or was that his attachment to his radio; and Gerry - warm, accommodating and very very funny. And all bracketted with a stay with Francois of the fabulous meals - how does he do it!
On top of all that our fellow travellers were gems - a great bunch to share the confines of the truck, meals, photos, awe, surprises and a totally memorable experience with. Thanks, good people.

Masihambe Magic!
This being our first trip to Afrika has more than exceeded our expectations. Jude from the outset showed great love, passion and enthusiasm for this country. This undoubtedly followed through with her attention to detail in setting the itinerary, choice of accommodation (which is wonderfully varied) and most importantly choice of guide.
Every day was an exciting adventure - superb game viewing, cultural experiences, wonderful accommodation, amazing food, campfires at night, story telling, fun and laughter to list but a few!
Our special thanks to you Jude for your diligent organization and our outstanding guide Ant for making our trip so memorable.
Where to next.....

A trip of a lifetime with great attention given to every detail and location!
I have travelled several times with Masihambe Afrika and each trip is designed with great attention and detail given to location, accomodation and activities. The communication given leading up to the trip is always very informative and useful helping you navigate and understand up front what to expect on your safari, as well as what to bring and where you will be travelling. There is great variety in the accomodations used to give you a varied experience and allowing you to experience Africa as it should be. The itinerary is top notch and includes many highlights that not a lot of other companies offer as well as very personalized service. The guides that are used can only be described as top notch and the best that you can have, with a real passion and zeal which leads to an unbelievable experience to those that are new to Africa and to those of us that have been to Africa numerous times. Once you have travelled with Mashihambe you will not want to go to and see Africa with any other operator!!!

Totally awesome experience
We approached Jude from Masihambe Afrika Tours via word of mouth. We found her to be hugely passionate and knowledgeable about Africa and sold us on the trip before we left; the experience lived up to and exceeded our expectations.
Jude was extremely approachable, listened to our wish list and tailored our trip to meet all our requirements. She was also accommodating in allowing us to self organise any part of the trip ie airfares.
Overall a first class experience.
it was every thing I expected. I had to pinch my self when with the animals, I thought I was dreami
Masihambe Africa organized every thing from johannesburg to kruger park and back. everything went smoothly, the outlook lodge was wonderful, the staff were so helpful they organized to keep most of our luggage back at johannesburg and met us at the airport to return it to us. at the safari we were looked after from the time we arrived till the time we left. they even drove us to the airport and gave us another small safari on the way.
so anyone going to Africa use Masihambe Africa and get a magical ride.

Our first trip with Mashihabe but definitely not our last
Communication was great. As far as expectations, didn't know what to expect but was absolutely blown away.
Loved every aspect of the safari, from our tour guide Ant, to the local guides in Zimbabwe & Botswana.
