South Africa is a MUST see destination for everybody, the animals, safaris, sight seeing, history, capetown and wine are an amazing experience that i will remember for the rest of my life.

remarkable experience, well-organized
We did the 5-day, 4-night tour, 2 nights at Pretoriuskop camp in Kruger Park and 2 nights at Kapama Private Reserve. The overall experience was fantastic. The Kruger Park component was more basic and less intimate but only in comparison to Kapama after the fact. Arrangements in both places were well done, with no glitches. The tour operators at Kruger (Outlook Safaris) were friendly, knowledgeable and instructive on the game drives, and went out of their way to accommodate our various dietary needs for meals. Kapama is much more up-scale, a beautiful lodge (Kapama River Lodge) in a beautiful setting, and the staff were amazing. The experience was more intimate than at Kruger because the jeeps are open, and it was just our family with the driver and tracker. We saw 3 of the big 5 at Kruger, and all 5 in the first two drives at Kapama. Transportation to/from and between places was flawless, and the drivers were friendly and informative. Overall, well-worth the cost for a unique lifetime experience.

Great trip with a great company
We travelled to Zimbabwe in Jan/Feb of 2018 and used the services of Nyati Travel. We were very impressed with the level of service and the friendliness of Nyati especially Terence Musvanga.
The company more than lived up to expectations and the trip went off without a hitch. I would highly recommend anyone travelling to Zimbabwe to contact Nyati. They are very professional and you will not be disappointed.
Thanks again to everyone at Nyati for a wonderful experience - especially our driver, John. Well done!

good service, great people to give the service
1. guides. both Evan and Richard are great people. A lot of information, great attitude. Richard speaks fluent Russian which is amazing!
Both are smart, kind, attentive, helpful and professional drivers and guides! Even if Richard didn't know the answer on my crazy questions in 5 minutes i got it! great
2. places we stayed at. place itself. accommodation. food.
Masai camp - great but i was lucky to stay in a new tent) wish you to have all of them like this))
what is nice to change and its not only my opinion - sandwich bread. not nice that white bread for toast. whether it should be toasted or much better to have pancakes or chapati)
Nakuru. place is nice. not more. Nakuru itself is not so interesting. very few birds. Sorry for that. I like it anyway but expectations are much more then reality
Amboseli. no words to describe. amazing!
Oh! may be microphone) I was at the back of the bus and sometimes could't hear the guide

Wonderful trip
We have just returned from a trip to Uganda organized by East African Discovery. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, everything went according to plan - seeing the gorillas, the lodges and safaris were great and our guide and driver, Meddy was fantastic. We will definitely use them again and recommend both the company and Meddy.

We had the most wonderful couple of weeks in SA organised by Greatest Africa, covering Cape Town, Kruger and Franschhoek; with fishing, riding and wine tours all organised with their expertise. Greatest Africa were always on hand to assist day and night, and went the extra mile to make our holiday as memorable as possible. Highly recommended.

Awesome safari!
First of all, we really had a good time! Chris and Lungi are great guides: we’ve spotted lots of animals thanks to them. Also we learned a lot from them about the flora & fauna in the Krugerpark. We even saw a wild dog and a cheetah! :-)
The food was perfectly prepared by Lungi. He thought of every detail. It was delicious!
Chris and Lungi were always on time. They were very helpful and their information was clear. They did all the preparations very well. It felt like a real holiday :-)
Chris and Lungi form a good team. We hope that they will keep up the good work! At the moment we can’t think of any improvements.
Best African Honeymoon Organiser Ever (if Carlsberg made safari tour operators...)
Timbuktu excelled at everything. We spent a year planning our honeymoon in South Africa with Johnny from Timbuktu, who went out of his way to make sure the trip was prefect for us, within budget, with lots of variety at a relaxed pace. He even managed to organise a bespoke 'off menu' three day private horse riding trek into Lesotho which absolutely blew us away.
While in South Africa, Johnny and his team made sure to phone ahead to ensure everything was sorted and was ready to help us with any issue we might have, like where do we have dinner with our friends on New Years Eve? Not strictly part of our trip with Timbuktu, but Johnny did an excellent job anyway - and the restaurant was top class.
Our Safari was amazing, and Johnny made sure that we (who knew nothing about Safari) had enough time and budget to stay at Phinda, one of the top game reserves in the country. It did not fail to disappoint. We were so lucky to have Timbuktu over any other tour operator, and would recommend Johnny and his team to anyone wanting to organise a hassle free African adventure. Five stars.
