Best experience ever- highly recommend!!!
5/5

Having Max’s assistance was like having a best freind who happened to be a local with a passion for helping me to plan our first visit to South Africa! I can not express enough how patient and thoughtful Max was in offering assistance with every detail of our planning…from finding our ideal lodging at the best prices to communicating our special dietary needs to the lodges. I highly recommend this outstanding service to anyone wishing to take the guess work and stress out of planning their stay. Thank you again Max for your very kind and capable assistance. I am very glad to have met you and wish I’d had someone such as yourself to have helped me plan all my previous vacations! May every traveler be as fortunate to find such excellent assistance as you have provided us.

Helpful, reactive and to the point
5/5

After e-mailing I quickly received feedback from Max containing very to the point offers for lodges in the (private) game reserves of the Kruger park in SA. We made a few calls and Max adjusted the offers.
We ended up booking at Leopard Hills in Sabi Sands trough Max and he ensured us that we would have a room with a magnificent view. Everything went really smooth from there and all that was promised, was kept. So I can really recommend this service. He always responded very promptly to all of our requests (email or Whatsapp) and even followed up after our stay, to check that everything went well.

It was a very easy experience to book our holiday through African Travel Consultants.
Andy and Max were always available and responded promptly to whatever questions were put to then.

We would've never booked such an amazing safari without Max's help!
5/5

Max was there to answer all our questions and he was very responsive from the word go, we gave him our budget and what we were looking for. He found us an incredible offer at Simbavati River Lodge in Kruger National Park.
Max arranged our flights from Cape Town and made sure that we get upgraded to the Pool Suite at the lodge.
If you are looking for an expert on safari lodges, Max is your guy. We are grateful for the experience we had and we will most certainly book with Sabi Sands Lodges Reservations for all our future bush holidays.

Andy and Max made this trip effortless, especially considering Covid restrictions.
5/5

Andy called as we arrived at each destination to make sure all was going as planned. This was especially important because we had to deal with multiple Covid tests as we moved from one location to another. He was readily available at each turn of the trip. I had suggested different accommodations but his suggestions were always 5 star and are happy we followed his advice. A last minute flight cancellation did not cause any consternation on his part he rearranged everything to make it work. Each of the guides he arranged at each location were most congenial and went out of their way to make sure our trip was effortless on our part. Needless to say our experiences on the actual safari's was incomparable. The guides and rangers spent lots of time finding the wildlife and then positioning us to get the best photos! Sabi was the best but would not have missed Victoria Falls or the Hipos and elephant herds at Chobe.
Already discussing, this time, with friends, to make a return trip...hopefully NO COVID.

Umkumbe Safari Lodge/Victoria Falls Safari Lodge
5/5

I am still in awe over being able to realize my African Bucket List trip and it is ALL courtesy to the time and effort that Andy Saidy provided over the planning period for the last year! Andy offered suggestions and information that enabled a well-rounded experience for my first time ever visiting Africa. He organized the stays at Umkumbe & Victoria Falls Safari Lodges and made sure all the details were in place. Both locations were amazing and I plan on returning to Africa in the near future. I will not hesitate to call Andy again for his assistance & I will certainly refer Andy to friends and family who think such a trip is impossible! With Andy's help and expertise, it will become a reality! Thank you Andy!

Andy provided the best service and had patience beyond measure
5/5

brillianly done. Andy was constantly available I was guided and reassured through whole process and all my concerns and questions alleviated. wouldnt hesitate to recommend Safari Bookings and the 2 lodges we were at being Elephant Plains and Kapama River Lodge. Kapama was beyond doubt a delight and in a different league. outstanding service.

We never knew Sabi Sands game reserve is so special! BIG CATS HEAVEN
5/5

A big hearty thank you to Sally and the team at Sabi Sands Lodges Reservations. We couldn't have done it without her expertise and knowledge of the different lodges offered by ATC. We stayed at Savanna and Nottens Camp, it was simply a brilliant experience.

We loved every minute of our stay at Sabi Sabi!
5/5

We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary at Sabi Sabi Selati Camp, that wouldn't have been possible without the help from Andy Saidy at African Travel Consultants. We contacted many agents looking for something special and all offers we received were substandard, Andy found us 3 nights at Sabi Sabi Selati Camp and what a place that was. The best part is paying the discounted rate which Andy offered, I never knew South Africans qualified for special rates at Sabi Sabi! We are grateful for the experience and we are very happy to recommend African Travel Consultants and Andy Saidy in particular.
