A great Safari
The easy way to describe our safari was that it exceeded our expectations in every way:
- the safari was very well organized, obviously they have been doing this for a while
-the accommodation was very good, better than we expected, and part of the overall adventure
-we were lucky to take the Transkalahari from South to North. I think the reverse would have been less fun
-the truck that took us from Cape Town to Victoria falls was the right vehicle for the task at hand. It was a bit rough on occasion, but a less rugged vehicle would have been damaged by the rough roads
-the food provided (or the recommendations, when food not provided) exceeded our expectations always
-with these kind of surveys, one is often requested to evaluate something or other on a scale of one to ten. I will almost never give a ten rating, as most people or facilities have room for improvement. In this case, I am happy to give Misheck the guide a solid ten. Everything he did was in the excellent category

Capetown to Vic falls
This truly was an adventure made all the better by our excellent guide Misheck, truely a gem.
From day one we were constantly kept informed about history, the area we were in and the game we would be experiencing along the way.
This was made all the more interesting buy our guides passion for Africa and for making sure our needs were catered for.
The accomodation was in the main very good with some truly special places that were a total surprise and of course the food was great.
Our only concern was that the truck had no air con but is that just being a soft westerner? I guess that just added to the whole Kiboko, Africa experience.
In summary this was a well planned trip and we believe gave us the best possible exposure over a big distance in the time available, we had a blast and would certainly recommend this as a great intro to Africa.,

Trans-Kalahari Adventure
Traveled for 20+ days with Kiboko going from Cape Town, South Africa to Vicoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Travel was via a large 16 person truck/bus with two large refrigerators in the rear. Every day fresh fruit was provided. This is a long trip covering over 6,0000 kilometers. Our guide, Misheck Mahonye was absolutely fantastic in providing extra information and recommendations. He made sure our comfort was attended to with multiple rest stops for restroom breaks and snacks. This is a great trip if you wish to see a wide variety of landscapes and animals. It is not a good trip for young children or those who don't want to spend hours traveling from desination to destination.

An amazing adventure where each day brought a new and exciting experience.
Our tour exceeded my wildest expectations in every way. I went for the animals and got them in abundance! But it was so much more, the cultural experiences were fascinating, I learnt so much. The accommodation was beautiful, each place with its own unique character, and wonderful catering everywhere we went. Our trip wouldn't have been the same without our wonderful guide, Dumi. He was such a lovely person, was on top of everything and nothing fazed him or was too much for him. He was very knowledgeable and was also happy to share personal stories which gave us more insight to African life. Overall, a wonderful holiday thats just whet my appetite to see more of Africa.

Did things that I thought I'd never do, but felt safe, knowing your workers had everything covered
Not that I had any problems but Adam was always ready to do anything that was asked of him...
I did write a few comments on a survey about air conditioning, in the bus as it did get very hot, and a toilet as a few elderly ladies found it hard to hold on and then when we did find public toilets they were terrible and no one was able to use them. I would like to say Adam, Mandale and Mzi were excellent guides and I hope you can pass that onto them, they worked so hard to please all of us, it would be nice for them to hear positive feedback from your company as they are the face of your company...oh and the food it was amazing I would love to see a camping cookbook done. love, love, loved it.
Everything was organised and easy,
Couldn't fault the whole experience
From start to finish
Amazing

Great guide , fabulous driver with great guiding knowledge , good food and the holiday of a lifetime
The whole trip was very well organized . We were cold at night and that was our only complaint . We saw so much , had extra game drives , stopped for photos at every opportunity , and felt safe at all times . Our guide was knowledgeable and if he was uncertain about information would check and get back to us . His rapport with the driver and cook was fabulous and the three of them looked after us so well
