The best part of the trip to South Africa
Andy was great. He managed to book us accommodations and transfer to the lodge on a very short notice. We did the booking and traveled to Kruger the following day. The lodge, Lukimi, was excellent and the staff and rangers were very nice, professional, and attentive to every detail. Overall, a fantastic experience.

Perfect Game Lodge Experience
I enquired about a lodge for a 5 night stay and was contacted within an hour by Andy. This was late on a Saturday. He committed to find me good lodge options and did so by the Monday afternoon. All information, advice and instructions were exactly what was required. Once we decided on a location that met our requirements, we promptly received confirmation and payment instructions. Andy responded to any queries promptly. Our experience at Thornybush Waterside Lodge was simply put...An awesome experience. I went there with high expectations and came away with much more than anticipated. I will certainly use African Travel Consultants again and recommend them for finding a customised experience

Karongwe River Lodge was an excellent choice, highly recommended.
We normally book our accommodation with lodges directly, we have been to almost all lodges in Kruger & Madikwe. We contacted Sally from Sabi Sands Reservations at ATC and we asked her to recommend a lodge that is different and somewhere we haven't been. Sally sent us a proposal for Karongwe River Lodge and I must admit, I didn't think much of the place as I haven't heard of it!
We were given all the information, location and the price of the lodge and as usual we did our research and found the lodge quite appealing. It even has great reviews on tripadvisor. Karongwe was everything wa hoped and more, luxury accommodation, big five game and great food. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Karongwe and we highly recommend using the services of African Travel Consultants as sometimes you think you know everything until you find out otherwise. Thank you Sally for your service and your recommendation of Karongwe.

Thank you Andy. Your commitment to your clients is commendable!
Andy your attention to detail made my honeymoon memorable. Our stay at Ulusaba Rock lodge was phenomenal. On safari we saw the big five and our tour guide kept us entertained. But our highlight was sipping sundowners to magnificent sunsets at the lodge. This is truly a magical African Safari experience and I would highly recommend Ulusaba Rock lodge.

A friendly and super efficient consultant
I was pretty impressed when Andy phoned me in UK. Other companies EMailed me, some were far too 'pushy'.
Andy's task was to find a suitable Safari for myself, at 72, travelling with my 33 year old son.
Hamilton's Tented Camp was just perfect for comfort, service, but above all , the fantastic number of animals and birds that paraded past our tent, day and night.
But Nick , our guide, found us so much more in the Concession on our six Game Drives.
This was truly the best holiday I have ever had. Thank you, Andy.

Outstanding service and invaluable knowledge of Africa
Andy Saidy planned our 23 day African safari holiday covering 5 countries. We are truly grateful for his expertise as he knew exactly what we wanted and advised us of what to expect.

Very professional and everything went as expected. We will recommend to our friends and family.
My family and I started planning our trip to South Africa, Victoria Falls and Botswana a year in advance. We contacted a few lodges and operators and we decided to go with the most knowledgeable and friendliest operator. Max Saidy stood out as he was prompt and available almost all the time to answer all our questions and he helped us understand the destinations we selected. Max's recommendations were world class. We are very grateful and happy that we traveled with African Travel Consultants. The safari in Sabi Sand was the highlight of our holiday.

Superior service!
There are so many nice things to say about the offer can travel consultants! I’ve already referred a couple friends to use this company for their honeymoon. Andy was wonderful and invested in our trip from day one. We started planning a few months in advance, and he made sure we got everything we wanted on our itinerary. This included three different Safari lodges, one at Sabi Sands (world class five star experience) and two at Kruger national park, hamiltons tented camp and hoyo hoyo we’re our favorites. The quality of stay, staff, luxury treatment and experience were all wonderful. The exposure to the wildlife was incredible! Furthermore, all our stays were beautiful, and curated for our honeymoon. In Cape Town, we stayed at a nice five star hotel with access to the Victoria Alfred Waterfront. The transportation service was wonderful, as the private shuttles picked us up on time for our tours every morning and Andy planned it all. You can count on Andy to get the job done. While planning, he had some tough workarounds and came through every time in a professional, personable manner and was successful at troubleshooting any issues. The itinerary had a little bit of everything and we couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much African Travel Consultants!

Great 12 day trip, Outstanding Service!
We took a seven week around the world luxury trip. I did most of the planning but when it came to southern Africa, it is pretty difficult. I can’t remember how I came across African travel consultants and Saidy, But the service has been excellent. It’s quite expensive to do a safari, Saidy Really helped us get the most luxury for the best price, I appreciated his help to work with our own budget.
We based ourselves out of Johannesburg and did a four-day trip to Victoria falls. The hotel was OK but You are really never in your hotel as the trip to vic falls, is one big adventure. We did the sunset cruise twice, the day trip to Chobe, The tour of Victoria falls and The white water rafting trip. All were excellent. We then stayed at Kambaku river sands In the Timbavati reserve for Safari and it was outstanding. Great food great wine, luxurious accommodations, and excellent trackers. The whole 12 days went off without a hitch, thanks much to Saidy Monitoring our progress and Was very responsive. When i picked African travel consultants, I was a little apprehensive at first, Given the Few reviews, but they provided references in the US that checked out and having done now this trip, I would definitely agree with those other guests, This is a top-notch organization.

South African Safari
Excellent experience, the whole trip flowed smoothly. I stayed a week at 3 game lodges which were absolutely stunning. The booking process was extremely easy and as far as value for money, I thought it was very good. Wildlife viewing was excellent and we easily found the big five as well as many other animals. Don’t think about it, just do it!
