Red Africa Safaris excelled all our dreams of a Kruger Park African Safari, absolutely fantastic !!
We experienced a fantastic holiday with Red Africa Safaris. Amelia was totally flexible and planned our 4 night trip to include everything that we required.
We stayed in a fantastic house in Hazyview, as well as a night in the Kruger Park, in addition to our days in the park we also spent a day travelling the Panoramic View, which included the breath taking Blyde River Canyon.
Jaco went way and beyond to ensure that our trip was to perfection, he is an extremely professional host / tour guide and excellent cook, he catered for all our needs.
Keegan was an exceptional game guide with an encyclopaedic knowledge of the game and birds; in addition to the Big Five he also found us some wild dogs.
One Day when we return, we will definitely be using Red Africa Safari again.
Totally worth it
We went on a 3-week trip to 4 different countries in Africa and this was by far the best part of our trip. Our tour guide, Jaco, was amazing. He was obviously so passionate about the animals and the environment and he made everything so exciting for us and was full of information.
We did the Panorama Route, which was gorgeous, I'm so glad we did it, but we did get really lucky with weather the entire time. We also got crazy lucky with animal viewings so I'm very grateful for that (not that the companies can control that), but Jaco was determined to get us some good views on our way out of the park and we got a truly spectacular experience surrounded by elephants.
I would 1000% recommend this, I would do it again, I've told all my friends and family to go, it was so worth it and then some.

Amazing trip with excellent guides
Having booked a guided tour with Red African Safari was the best decision for us as a family (Blyde River Panorama Tour and Kruger). It was well-organised in advance and everything turned out just as planned. We had excellent guides who knew so much about the country's history, politics and especially the wild life. We always felt safe and were taken care of so well. It almost felt like family :-) We are so thankful for this amazing time and will treasure every single moment!
Thanks to Jaco and Trevor!! You are the best!
Amazing
Our tour guide Jaco was amazing. He went above and beyond our expectations. We had an incredible time.

An exciting experience
We loved traveling with Jaco: we visited the Panorama route and spent 3 days in the Kruger park. Jaco has been a special guide, so passionate and caring. He is very expert and explained us a lot of things about wildlife and South African history and culture. Last but not least, he has been a very special chef cooking delicious vegan meals on open fire.
We will definitely book another trip with Red Africa Safaris in the future hoping to be guided by him again!

Personalized, Enjoyable and Value for Money
The entire experience was great from start to finish. Amelia did a great job in creating an itenary that suited our needs and they allowed us to change activities for our personal need. We did an 8 day (Kruger + Greater Kruger + Panorama route) tour and it did not disappoint. We managed to see a bit of everything and even had a luxury experience in the private lodge.
Special shoutout to our guide, Jaco, for making the trip so much better. He is a great driver, cook and is one of the most knowledgeable guides in the business. He was able to identify and describe the different animals in the reserve, and we learnt many things from him. He ensured we were comfortable and safe throughout the trip, and was a great company as well.
Compared to the other tour groups, this was definitely one of the better value for money and you be hard pressed to find a better deal.
We will definitely work with them again!

Amazing trip, well planned, well looked after - we will be back!
From start to finish it has been easy to deal with Red Africa Safaris. Booking process was smooth. I had the details for Jaco (our guide) and he was waiting once we arrived. He was brilliant, knew so much about everything and really made the trip special. All the places he took us were great, he timed it all well so there were very few other people about. The canyon was a highlight, from the top and bottom - such a good experience. Then Kruger was brilliant - the walking safari was very good! Jaco's cooking was very very good, loved the BBQ steaks - as good if not better than anything you will get at a top restaurant. Overall loved by us all and we will return and book via red africa safaris again!

Professional, trustworthy, client focused, adaptable, available and responsive.
From the moment we sent an enquiry to Red Africa Safaris we were not disappointed. The complete package exceeded our expectations on every level and we are seasoned Safari travellers.
Amelia listened and came up with a perfect 10 day itinerary which included the Graskop Gorge, the Panorama route and canyon boat cruise, the Moholoholo rehabilitation centre, elephant interaction experience, Kruger and finishing with Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe where we cruised and competed white water rafting on the Zambezi. Our guide throughout was Jaco who was absolutely exceptional. Due to severe wet weather and risk of impending cyclone, our tour was adapted at source and we felt we had the best outcome in the circumstances.
I could go on about the amazing animals, birds and plants we saw, the waterfalls and places we visited, the accommodation we experienced the best steak and vegetarian meal cooked by Jaco but everything was exemplified by the sheer breadth of knowledge and personality of Jaco who gently guided us through the natural world of South Africa and the history of this vast country.
What he didn’t know wasn’t worth knowing. He was able to identify our likes and expand on these but not forget other pieces of importance.
We were so impressed with the ethos of conservation at all levels with Red Safaris and the education we received which included where support is needed by the wider world wide community. We cannot rate Red Africa Safaris high enough and we will definitely be back for more. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

We had a wonderful experience! Red Africa Safaris delivered everything what promised and more!
We had a wonderful experience! Red Africa Safaris delivered everything what promised and more! The guides (Jaco and Keegan) were amazing. The program itself was adjusted to our needs, the operator was flexible and thoughtful! It was our first time in South Africa and Kruger Park, thus we did a lot of preparational work and we're glad we chose Red Africa Safaris. If we'll come back - we'll definitely chose those guys again.
