I had a memorable experience and I thinking of going back.
5/5

Hi, I am Fabrice from Cameroon. Communication wise it was good, since my first language is French and my English skill was pretty poor back then. I was well treated and taken care of. Where I visited is called Mtati; Such a quiet and peaceful place to discover.The stroll along the beach early in the morning and in the evening for me was a perfect moment to contemplate the beauty of nature. The ride on the canoe and the fishing was amazing and so much fun. The living was great and I got to see and learn species of birds I never knew about. I personally enjoyed every single moment and hope to return there pretty soon.

a journey like a dream
5/5

By the introduction of Benjamin from Siya Phambile Expedition I already got a very good feeling. This is the guy that could show me the animals on my S.A. trip I really want to see, especially my favourite, the leopard.
And I was right with his patience and knowledge we spotted 3 leopards in Ithala Nat. Park. Wonderfull!!
But beside his knowledge about animals especially birds he represented a travel organisation that gives you their hospitality feeling that you are a very welcome guest. By looking at my pictures this was fantastic. Thanks again!

One week Safari with Siya Phambile!
5/5

We spent 7 days with Siya Phambile Expeditions and it did not disappoint one bit! The experience was out of this world. We were well-taken care and the service was amazing for the money. Food, transport, activities & accommodation, you do not have to worry about anything, just making sure your camera batteries are fully charged! We were on the road at crack of dawn and late at nights to make sure we capture all the action from the bush. We completed the big-5 spotting in less than 2 days and our guides were always providing description, information and details about all the species we encountered. Overall experience was great, we saw everything Kruger had to offer in terms of animal spotting, game reserve and life in base camps. We highly recommend Siya Phambile if you want to experience your own customized private safari, easy to work with, the guides at Siya Phambile are very knowledgeable and make sure you are having everything you need. FIVE STAR experience!

Wonderful Lesotho Adventure
5/5

After having given my husband and me a fine and very instructive overview of Bloemfontein Benjamin took us to Semonkong Lodge in Lesotho. What an adventure! Lesotho is so beautiful and Semonkong Lodge and the trek we made next day to Maletsunyana Falls are some of the most authentic and breathtaking experiences we have had - and we have travelled extensively in Southern Africa.
In other word: we highly recommend Siya Phambile Expeditions. The service was great and Benjamin is an excellent, caring, and charming guide.
The trip highly exceeded our expectations!

An experience made epic!
5/5

Benjamin was our guide for 2 nights in the Camdeboo National Park. He met us punctually on location with clear directions and a very warm welcome. We had an awesome trip with great game viewing and wonderful recommendations of places to visit within the reserve. Benjamin was enthusiastic, patient, knowledgeable and extremely accommodating. We had a puncture and it rained while we were camping, but nothing phased Benjamin, or was too much trouble. He was calm, helpful and considerate at all times. We had fantastic tents, comfy stretches, bedding, towels, everything we needed. Benjamin has endless energy but goes about his tasks in a relaxed but diligent manner. We had interesting chats, tasty food and enjoyed his great company. Highly recommend a trip with him...

A fun filled week of wildlife watching with Benjamin and Fabrice
5/5

A fabulous family holiday safari perfectly arranged by Siya Phambile. They totally took all the stress of organisation and food away and left us to relax and watch the animals and birds in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. We had lots of laughs with them and would strongly recommend to others looking for an arranged safari trip.

Had a wonderful trip and experience with Benjamin . Everything went like clockwork.
5/5

The Safari was a trip of a lifetime. Benjamin was an excellent guide and the safari was tailored to our wish list. The Kalahari was a wonderful adventure and we even did two nights wild camping in Botswana. I would highly recommend Siya Phambile to any one who would prefer a more personal safari experience.

Trip of a Lifetime!!
5/5

This was my first visit to Africa and to be honest...I had no idea what to expect and was a bit nervous. The trip turned out to be one that far exceeded my expectations with great memories that will last a lifetime. Benjamin is an awesome tour guide who clearly has a passion for the wild and all the great things Africa has to offer.

The tour was set up perfectly where we were introduced to South Africa in Cape Town. We were able to explore all the great neighborhoods Cape Town has to offer while slowly immersing ourselves into the African culture. We then visited Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe which moved us a bit deeper into Africa and gave us a great taste of what we could expect in the wild bush of Africa. The final piece of the tour was Kruger National Park where we came face to face with Africa's beautiful wildlife and experienced nature like never before.

Throughout the trip Benjamin was professional but also a lot of fun. We learned a lot and experienced things we never would have if it hadn't been for this amazing trip. We met some incredible people and made a few more friends along the way. Booking a trip with Siya Phambile was great choice and one that I would make again.
