Perfection
My husband and I booked a month long holiday with Marieke and Marijnke of African Travels. In January 2020 we arrived in Cape Town to begin the 30 day journey that was perfect in every way. From our initial meeting in Cape Town to our airport drop off in Tanzania 30 days later, all was perfectly orchestrated. There were open lines of communication at all times. Our guide and driver in Cape Town was a remarkable human being and a knowledgeable, well informed citizen of this unimaginably beautiful city. All of the guides, drivers and tour companies we dealt with on this trip were top notch. The hand off from one country to another was seamless. There are no words to describe how absolutely satisfied we were with African Travels. This trip went far beyond our expectations leaving us with indelible memories of people, places and experiences.

African Travels provides comfortable and heavenly road trip from West to East Cape in South Africa.
We had the best service ever experienced, with our tour operator Marieke from African Travels.
We build our road trip up, she gave us all the advice wanted and needed.
The guesthouses were all comfortable, clean, silent, and the hosts were friendly, kind and helpfull.
To start are roadtrip we were handed a full tour description from guesthouse to guesthouse, with all vouchers needed and extra information about the area we were visiting.
Marieke was stand by when nescessary, but evereything was so well prepared!
Many thanks to African Travels for making our trip excellent!

Good, clean, comfortable with an awesome operator
Great landscapes and scenery, a variety of optional excursions, comfy and clean accommodation and quite simply a wonderful driver and tour guide. Shingy was fun, considerate with a fun demeanour, yet staying professional. African Travels' communication was clear and thorough and whenever we had a question they were quick to respond and sorted everything out quickly. They delivered on everything they promise in the "brochure". Thank you guys for a good trip.

Marieka was fabulous, always ready to help and extremely helpful in taking care of all of our needs.
African Travels did an amazing job planning our dream safari. They arranged 3 stays, one in Kruger National Park and two at private parks. All were varied and offered uniques experiences which added much to the overall experience. The animals and habitats were different and allowed us to see more African wildlife than if we had gone to just one area. Vervet monkeys got into a unit our friends stayed in and took her thyroid medicine. Marieke with African Travels organized getting a prescription arranged and having it ready to pick up at a pharmacy in a town we would be passing through on a drive to the next park in just one day!

Perfect tailor made trip within budget
Perfect tailor made trip within budget
Our trip perfectly matched our expectations. Marieke and team are good listeners and being very experienced, while living in SA, she could translate our wishes in a very nice tailor made journey. Everything was perfectly organised, rechecked and double checked. She knows most accommodations herself. Because she lives in SA it is very easy to contact her by Whats-app, mail of phone. Next to that African Travels provides a very handy - offline - app with all necessary data in it. Marieke contacted us regularly to check if everything was still OK, and it was !!

Very satisfied with African Travels' services!
Thanks to African Travels, our first trip to Africa was a wonderful adventure! We only booked the trip a few weeks in advance, but nevertheless they managed to put together a trip that was the perfect mix of wildlife and nature, which also fit our (student)budget. We look forward to our next adventure in Africa with you!

An unforgettable experience!
Last year we visited Namibia, this year we decided to travel on our own through Botswana and the northern part of SA. However, it was difficult to book campsites on our own in Botswana, communication with the campsites was bad or we got late responses. Therefore, we decided to contact African Travels for help. It was the best thing we did. Marijnke (owner of African Travels) knows a lot about Africa and she knows the most beautiful places. Thanks to her, it was an unforgettable experience!
Communication with African Travels was more than good. Because of the weather, we changed part of the trip. Marijnke was reachable 24/7. She came up with good ideas how to travel and which campsites/accomodations were still available and she also booked the locations for us while we were in desert.
Furthermore, African Travels arranged a very good car for us (Toyota Hillux 4x4) by a trusted partner of them. The owner of the rental company also knew a lot about Africa and told us the most beautiful stories.
I definitely would recommend to contact African Travels if you want to travel trough Africa so that your dream can come true!

Top quality!
African travels tailored a self-drive tour from Cape Town to Johannesburg for the four of us, which perfectly suited our wishes and expectations. They were of great assistance when our in-flight was delayed. The guesthouses and lodges they suggested were great. We enjoyed every minute of our trip!
