Very Good And Educational Experience
We went on a Bird Watching expedition within May 2015 in Limpopo, South Africa.
From the get go, the communication was clear, to the point and without any nasty surprises.
We were received by well educated and friendly staff members whom made us feel right at home.
The service received from Red Africa Safaris was phenomenal and beyond expectation, accommodating us as far as we went through the day to make the experience as rememberable and enjoyable as it could get.
Aside from the Birding knowledge from Red Africa Safaris that was presented to us, Red Africa Safaris also shared additional knowledge of the Bushveld as well as the local Wildlife found in the area which was very rewarding, exciting and educational.
I would at any day book another tour with Red Africa Safaris and would strongly recommend Red Africa Safaris to anyone looking for a well deserved trip, fun, excitement and value for money.

Excellent Safari Trip
It was a very informative and enlightened trip. Our guide was Kind, professional yet friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. WELL organized, and just amazing!! We had a brilliant time all the way and the trip was tailor to meet all our particular interests and needs. Most importantly, by the end of the trip, we thought of as our guide as a new found friend. We certainly would (and have) recommended Red Africa Safaris.

A wonderful experience with an excellent guide
A perfect 4 day trip which showed us the true wildlife and bush of South Africa. Our guide was excellent with a passion for his subject which shined through. But he also read us, his clients, perfectly and gave us an experience which catered to our level of interest. Accommodation was lovely in a private game reserve where the staff, food and setting could not have been better. The personal touches and general attitude of Red Safari was wonderful and this is a company I will be staying in touch with and using again for my next trip to Africa. Many thanks Jaco and Red Safari.

The most amazing and stunning learning experience I've had!
Our whole experience from start to finish was fantastic. We had a really long drive to get to our destination but the time went so quickly with Jaco (our guide) sharing his knowledge of the sites and wonderful views we passed through. We stopped at beautiful waterfalls so able to stretch our legs. When we got to our reserve we were speechless at the beauty that surrounded us, the river full of hippos was our view, fabulous! We were well looked after with wonderful food and a very comfortable lodge. We experienced jeep and boat safaris at sunrise and sunset with extremely knowledgeable guides. The bush brai at sunset has to be one of the many highlights, great food and good company including the elephant that was only 15m behind us. One of the guides even went back to get us our wine, perfect. I would highly recommend red Africa safaris and promise you won't be disappointed. I very much look forward to seeing Jaco again soon!

Wonderful Safari Adventure
Red Africa Safaris were fantastic from start to finish. The staff were very accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure that the experience was tailored to our needs and was best value for money. Our guide (Jaco) was professional, extremely knowledgeable and friendly; his passion for conservation and pride in sharing the beauty of his country was truly touching. The accommodation and catering at the private reserve were excellent. We were very grateful to the ranger at the reserve and Jaco for the insights we gained into the issues and challenges of local conservation. Thank you! A safari trip with Red Africa is highly recommended.

It doesn't get more real than this
RedAfrica hosted us with great care and service orientation. I wanted a real experience and, from the people to the safari tours, I can say I was fully satisfied. No manicured lodges and bush, no perfectly traced routes, we really went into the wild and experienced great things. Our dinner by Oliphant River, the river safari and the daily outings all contributed to make this a memorable time.
On a personal note, we enjoyed spending time with Jaco, the company's owner, Geo and I.P. Jaco went above and beyond to make sure everything worked fine, driving countless hours, always in great mood and sharing his knowledge and love for nature. Dankie!

Fantastic Experience. Fantastic Owner.
This was beyond our expectations. Jaco -- either the owner or one of the owners of Red Africa -- picked us up at the airport at 10:30 at night, drove all night, and made sure we caught the morning light. I'm a photographer and was getting footage for a client on a tight schedule, and Jaco bent over backwards to accommodate my me. I have future work here in South Africa, and plan to bring my son next time. Jaco may well bring his son (same age) so they can reflect on their different cultures and also have that jaw-dropping opportunity to see animals in the wild. (It was that great of an experience.)
The vehicle we traveled in was large and comfortable -- Jaco even provided pillows and blankets to nap as we drove thru the night.
Accommodations were excellent at the eco-lodge he chose overlooking a river with wild boars, hippos, and crocodiles wandering by riverside. Food was even better. Staff there accommodating, friendly and very excited to be able to show people the ecology and the animals there. We even had a morning river cruise to see crocs and native birds.
Stand-out meal was a BBQ riverside where we heard a leopard growling after dinner while having an after dinner drink by lantern light. And then we headed out for a night safari by full moon.
You'll make memories for a lifetime on this tour.

An awesome, inspiring Safari, lead by a knowledgeable, sensitive and efficient Guide ......
We had looked forward to the Safari , knowing it was a dream coming true, but almost as soon as we met our Guide, and chatted during our first day's driving, we knew we were in for an amazing time!
In the lead up to Departure, the communication between Red Africa and ourselves was very prompt and all our questions were answered graciously.
The service and attention we received was friendly and generous and all our accommodation was of a high standard.
Our safari was built around our original requests, and we found a lot of effort had gone into ensuring our hopes and personal interests were met. It more than met our expectations and we hope to one day plan another Safari with Red Africa! Thank you very much for such a marvelous Safari!!
