5 stars! Trip of a lifetime!
5 stars! If we could give more we would! We had the best experience with Red Africa Safaris and every one of their partner companies. First, Amelia was outstanding in every aspect of organizing our trip. She was very responsive and professional. We asked to customize our trip by adding a day and changing a few parts of the suggested itinerary. She handled everything so we could just enjoy our vacation! She emailed us about changes, flight check-in, gate assignment and to simply inquire about how our trip was going. Amelia is first-class and we were honored to work with her. Next, Jaco…a tremendous tour guide who made us feel like family. His knowledge of Kruger National Park and surrounding areas, the animals, the history of South Africa and more was simply remarkable. We had such good conversation during our time with Jaco. He was always looking out for our safety and this experience far exceeded our expectations. I challenge you to find a better tour guide than Jaco. He was awesome! Bottom line: my wife and I will be back to South Africa and we will definitely use Red Africa Safaris. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making this the experience of a lifetime.

Very knowledgeable and was willing to go the extra mile
Unforgettable experience with our excellent guide, Jaco. Red Africa safaris took care of any issues we had during booking and were very accommodating/professional. The tour itself was amazing! We had the best time. Our only regret was we didn’t stay longer

Knowledgeable and passionate guide
This tour was one of the best travel experiences we have had. We were on the fence about doing a guided tour vs a self drive, but are so glad we did the tour with a guide. We did the Panorama Route and Kruger with guide Jaco. He had an answer to every one of my many questions about wildlife and made sure we were comfortable at all times. It is really amazing how much knowledge he has. We were so pleased with this tour and would love to come back for another tour with him.

Best experience in my life
I totally recommend Red Africa Safaris! First of all, quick and easy communication (other companies could send replies for 2-3 days). Also the price is very affordable but the service is more than excellent. The guide was really nice and considerate, I could never get tired learning facts about Kruger nature and history. Safari itself was unforgettable experience, and I think there is no way someone could regret choosing safari for holiday activity. Also we really liked accommodation and food. Thank you so much! I hope to see you one day again!
Our personal highlight of our South Africa trip.
The communication during the planning was great, all our questions were answered in great detail, so that we were well advised despite the uncertain situation with Covid. Also during the tour we didn’t have to worry about a thing because everything was handled by our tourguide jaco. The tour itself was a perfect balance for us with the different kind of activities. The only thing that we would have changed was that we would have loved to hike to the bottom of the waterfall at Lizbon Falls on the Panorama Route, but we do understand that this was no option due to time constraints.
If you get Jaco as your tour guide, you will probably have one of the best guides in the whole world. He knows everything about nature from the smallest blade of grass to the big elephants. The atmosphere was always great and we felt very comfortable with him. You can tell how passionate he is about the things he tells and it is important to him that you as a customer have a great experience.

A trip of a lifetime! Great vision, planning and execution!
7-Day Kruger Park, Panorama Route & Cape Town Adventure
Working with Red Africa Safaris was a pleasure! We corresponded with Amelia to plan the booking and she was very responsive, detailed and thorough. She went above and beyond with helping answer any questions we had. Once we arrived in South Africa, we explored Kruger National Park and the nearby areas. Our tour guide, Jaco, was fantastic. He was very knowledgable (had stories and information for any occasion) and extremely pleasant. My wife and I felt taken care of and couldn't say enough good things about planning and booking our trip though Red Africa Safaris. The lodging throughout the trip was nice and clean and the lodge near Kruger was beautiful. We hope we can plan another trip with Red Africa Safaris, thank you!

An amazing experience, beyond our expectations.
Red Africa Safaris was exemplary in all respects. Pre-safari communications were timely, precise and comprehensive. Our chosen safari more than lived up to expectations, even though it rained for the first day and a half of the five day trip. A key factor was our guide, Jaco, who had incredibly broad and deep knowledge of the ecosystems we explored and an ability to convey his passion for them. He also took care of us in a way we'd never before experienced, attentive to our dietary and all other needs. Our long talks with him over meals were also a fascinating window into South African culture.
