Another great safari experience
5/5

We asked Mark to organize a short luxury experience for us to relax a bit after a three week exhausting trip in Madagascar. We flew into Johannisburg and the next day continued by plane to Royal Malewane. We had been there before and were very happy to spent three nights there. Expensive, but certainly worth it. The accommodation is luxurious, with private dip pools from which elefants come to drink, the food great, the service perfect and our guide Ryan was just the best. This year we had especially nice leopard and cheetah encounters.

We continued by car to our next camp, Chitwa Chitwa, at the border of a small lake behind a dam. With ranger Hali we saw a young leopard catch a duiker, and also here we saw the big five. Food was very tasty here as well and the bush hike with our ranger was an excellent way to see many birds and plants as well as fresh lion tracks.

Thank you Mark and Celeste for your organization, we had only a week this time, but it was perfect again, like for our several previous trips to South Africa and Botswana.

Great Trip, Great Operator
5/5

We had an excellent trip and part of the reason it went so well was because of Mark at Taga Safaris. We saw lots of animals, we stayed at terrific lodges, and organizing the trip was quick and easy.

Wildlife - we saw everything that we wanted to, including a pride of 11 lions. We even saw some elephants in camp!

Scenery - the land and weather were great. Between the animals and the landscape, I ended up taking over 3,000 photos over the course of 8 days.

Lodges and recommendations - we were very comfortable during our trip. The rooms at the lodges were large and very well maintained, making our stay very enjoyable. The food was great as well, from breakfast to dinner, as all of the ingredients were fresh. The best part, without question, were the people who worked there - very polite, friendly, and reliable. We had zero problems on the trip.

Planning and coordination - when we were planning what we wanted to do, Taga was extremely helpful. We knew we wanted variety on our trip and Mark ensured that we received it. He gave us several different recommendations based on what we wanted to do and we were very glad that we took his advice. Mark was very quick and clear with communication - I was never left waiting for a response to an email wondering what was going on. During our trip, one of our flights was so delayed that we almost missed our connection. Mark was at the airport in Johannesburg, waiting at the check in counter to ensure that we made our flight! He really went above and beyond.

To sum things up, we loved our trip and much of that had to do with having Taga Safaris helping us put it together. When we return to Africa, we will use Taga. Highly recommended.

Very knowledgeable and excellent recommendations.
5/5

I reconnected with Mark at Taga Safaris as he created a fabulous honeymoon itinerary for my husband and I 18 years ago and we wanted to return with our daughter. Mark again came through for us with excellent recommendations of where to go and where to stay.

He was quick to answer questions and offer advice, knows the parks and lives and breathes the safari life.

Would certainly recommend Taga to expertly guide you in planning your safari adventure.

Effortless
5/5

When I started looking in to safaris for my honeymoon I had no idea which, of the hundreds, would be best. Mark at Taga helped me navigate all the different camps and lodges and quickly replied to every email I sent making us feel happy and secure with our choice.

Predator and Prey!
5/5

Thanks Mark, Taga Safaris Africa connected us with Africa on Foot. We spent three nights with delightful drives and walks. Perhaps the best summary: Predator and Prey!

We saw leopards stalking impala, wild dogs chasing impala, hyenas feeding on impala and giraffe, and lions feeding on zebra. Gotta appreciate the life of predators and prey.

As to communication and service, when some of our flights were delayed, Mark kept everyone informed and our transfer from the airport worked out without a hitch, despite the flight delays. Much appreciated from our end.

Taga Safaris worked hard to find my family fantastic camps to visit in peak season in Kruger area
5/5

We had an amazing time - certainly covered seeing the big five, but got to see and learn so much more beyond that.
Motswari in particular was great find - affordable but upscale camp and the staff was extremely knowledgeable and friendly.
Will use Taga Safaris for our next trip to Africa - Botswana, perhaps?
