Was wonderfull, a fantastique experience, I hope to go back.
Monique did help me a lot in planning our holidays in S.A early this year.
The hotel, lodges and Safaris that she had recommended where exactly in the range we where expecting.
The Sabi Sand in Kruger Park with the big 5 within 500m from our Lodge (the gourmet food in our lodge and the setting, the rooms and mostly the staff where Magnificent) , and the lodge at Victoria Falls in Livingstone (Zambia) was magic.
Giltedge Africa (formerly Southern Africa Travel) can only be recommended regarding their extensive knowledge of the region and their advice.
I can only recommend them.

Excellent Service! 100% Recommended
It was our first time in Africa, so I decided to book a tour operator to maximize our short time in the region. As I didn’t have any contacts, I decided to look up in the internet for tour operators.
I contacted about 5 of them, but from the minute I spoke to Melissa Oberholzer, I knew this was the tour operator I would choose! (Even though the prices of other operators were lower).
Melissa and her company provided an outstanding and efficient organization of what has been one of the best holidays of our lives!
Despite contacting her only 2 weeks before our trip, she was able to tailor make it exactly the way we wanted!. She put together a wonderful and very organized schedule so we were able to visit the best places that South Africa, Zambia and Namibia has to offer, in only 2 weeks!
Her disposition to organize such a wonderful trip in such a short period of time, plus her availability to answer every question we had (even at 11pm on a Saturday!) made our trip much more special, easier and relaxed.
We had the most wonderful time, and saw the most amazing sites in each of the countries we visited! But most importantly, the services that she chose for each of our stops (drivers, guides, hotels, etc), were excellent, extremely punctual and friendly. Everyone took great care of us while making sure we were happy and satisfied at all times.
All in all, it was really a wonderful and stress-free experience! And I would definitely hire their services again. I also recommend this tour operator to anyone planning to travel to Southern Africa.
Thank you very much and all the best!!

It was an amazing well rounded experience , in the safari lodges, and the guides provided.
We were 12 travelers on the safari , the communication and the accommodation for the requests fulfilled by our agent MS Monique Dean was appreciated. The lodges recommended were of high class to our expectations, and the guides through out the journey were very informative about south Africa. we ere able to see the big 5.

The bookings went well, and local flights arranged which I would have found very difficult to do.
Communications with Giltedge Africa (formerly Southern Africa Travel) were mostly by e-mail with prompt and helpful responses. There were also some necessary telephone calls which were fine. The programme, largely planned by me, was implemented successfully. The two safari lodges, both of which I had been to before [but one not for 16 years], were as expected, perhaps more so. I had arranged the flights from the UK myself but all the internal arrangements, internal flight reservations, lodge bookings, transfers etc in South Africa were down to Southern Africa Travel and there were no problems with them, and although one of the internal airlines changed its flight to Jo'burg, Giltedge Africa were "on the ball" and notified us of the change in good time. All in all I would have no hesitation in recommending the company. However, because I knew what I wanted to do and where to go, I didn't ask Southern Africa Travel to make any recommendations so I can't comment on that aspect of their operations.

great experience
Southern Africa Travel (Giltedge) was so helpful in booking our trip to South Africa (which was also our honeymoon)! They listened to our wants and helped us plan the trip exactly as we wanted. We had a great time and loved all of the places we stayed!
