Knowledgable, Helpful, Responsive and Warm!
We are rather seasoned travelers, but have never been to Africa, let alone on Safari. We needed a relatively short Safari program during the busiest tourist season. Kirsten Wolley, our advisor, was wonderfully informed about options, listened closely to our requirements, and found us a fantastic experience at the Rhino Ridge park in Kwa Zulu. Everything from our financial to scheduling needs, our touring and food preferences, to travel insurance were promptly and well handled. And we had one of the best experiences of our lives, effortlessly!
superb tour operator with excellent management arrangements.
This was our first safari. It exceeded all our expectations. All travel arrangements between wildlife parks and reserves went exactly as planned. A most enjoyable close-up experience with with a whole range of wildlife. The staff were very friendly and eager to please. The guides were very knowledgeable about all the animals seen on the game drives. I have no hesitation recommending this to wildlife lovers both novices and experienced travelers. I cannot praise the company enough; good food, service and communications. Go and experience wonderful wildlife yourself.
Marvellous, wonderful, memorable, terrific holiday
Only 5 stars? I'd give them at least twenty. Everything went perfectly and the experience was life-changing. I would recommend Yellow Zebra to everybody and certainly book with them again if we ever go back. The camps and hotels they selected for us were fabulous and all transportation was choreographed smoothly. Even the animals co-operated - especially the elephant that spent 40 minutes chewing up trees literally on our doorstep at Machaba. YZ provided a wealth of pre-trip information and was helpful at every stage. Thank you so much for a vacation we will never forget!

Perfect Honeymoon
A big thank you and 5 stars to Yellow Zebra and Kirsten Woolley. I don’t think you can too Yellow Zebra’s attention to detail, communication, and recommendations. They made our trip effortless for us and all of our destinations over delivered on expectations. Ask the YZ consultant what their recommendation would be based upon the choices and the price differences. We were willing to pay more for what was important for us (private guiding, etc) and working with YZ it was very helpful for pick and choose based upon different price points and recommendations. Hope we’re fortunate enough to experience again in our lifetime.

Awesome Adventures with Yellow Zebra!
Yellow Zebra delivered on everything they promised and then some. Antonina Welfing helped with the logistical details. When we landed in Jo-burg, we were met and cared for at every stop of the journey. Every driver from Ilios travel was professional, on-time, and shared their experiences along the way. Amazing! One gentleman could spot a hyena basking in the mud at 2 Km away...we have the picture to prove it! The accommodations were outstanding. But most amazing of all were the safaris and camps that we visited. The staff were excellent at both Simbavati and Madikwe Hills. We give a shout out to our game drivers Caswell at Simbavati and Lucky and Max at Madikwe. They ROCK! You can rely on them to deliver you safely from a charging elephant...which they did. We can't wait to go back!

Thank you Yellow Zebra for helping us with this adventure of a lifetime!
We spoke to a few safari travel agents but decided to go with Yellow Zebra for our honeymoon because of their knowledge and professionalism. Emma Dunn did an excellent job in helping us tailor our trip and ensuring we are well-informed about the places we are going to visit and the pre-trip planning (packing, tips, etc). Yellow Zebra was also extremely efficient with our last-minute request for a hot air balloon safari in Maasai Mara. The itinerary was well thought-out with a couple of days in the Loisaba Conservancy introducing us to the African wildlife, including a really good suggestion to try Loisaba Starbeds for a night (great experience sleeping under the stars), and then on to Maasai Mara for a full-blown safari adventure (lots of big cats and the wildebeest migration). The trip went without a hitch with Tradewinds picking us from airside the minute we landed in Nairobi and Bush & Beyond doing the airport transfers and half-day city tour to the Giraffe Centre and Elephant Orphanage. The service at all the camps we stayed in (Loisaba Starbeds, Loisaba Tented Camp, Offbeat Mara) was top-notch; food was excellent as well. Thank you Yellow Zebra for helping us with this adventure of a lifetime to Kenya!

Honeymoon in South Africa
Yellow Zebra Safaris helped us with planning our honeymoon in South Africa. They were extremely easy to work with and the lodging/accommodations they had set up for us were all top notch. The sequence of locations to visit was flawless. There was very little that needed to be done on our end other than be where they told us to be and at what time. They even notified each hotel/lodge that we were on our honeymoon which amplified the service levels. I'd highly recommend using them for any trip (esp. a honeymoon) to Africa. You won't regret using them!

A Family Trip of a Lifetime
Our family used Yellow Zebra to plan our Africa adventure. Kirsten, our YZ representative, had a couple of conversations with us to find out what kind of experiences we wanted, what was important to us, and some specific things we would like to see. She then presented an amazing itinerary to us with location and camp recommendations for the best wild life viewings and quality of the camps. Her expertise in this area was highly evident. She managed to find availability in fantastic camps even though we were booking quite late. Everything was organized from the minute we landed in Johannesburg until the end of our week. Every detail was taken care of - flights, transfers, luggage transfers, accommodations - and was executed without a hitch. Kirsten also communicated during the trip to ensure everything was going well. This was a trip of a lifetime with lasting memories for our family and Yellow Zebra was instrumental in making this happen. Thank you Kirsten and YZ staff. We would highly recommend Yellow Zebra to others.”

Amazing
I contacted yellow zebra safaris who I found through social media this was our first safari and a special birthday therefore I spent a lot of time researching I'm so glad I contacted YZ my contact was Weis who was very knowledgeable and from the start after a phone call he got exactly what we wanted and planned the perfect safari and beach holiday for us. Every detail was perfect we stayed in amazing lodges, saw an abundance of wildlife, including the big 5. It was a holiday of a lifetime and we had the time of our life. I cannot recommend YZ enough they go above and beyond and look forward to arranging my next safari with them.
