Our dream trip going on Safari became a reality
We have just returned from our 8 day trip on safari in South Africa. Africa has always been on our wishlist. South Africa offered a variety of what we wanted, and we signed up for a Go Touch Down tour in 2015 and traveled Sept 2016. My wife wanted the other tour they offered, the city one, in cape town, but I was not going to go to Africa and not see wildlife. Safari offerd a sample of everything, so we settled for that. We stayed at 3 properties, Dukeld Estate, Seasons Spa, and Humala lodge. We arrived a day early on the Tuesday and stayed a night at Seasons before the tour kicked off the next day. The spa helped to recover from the 15 hr flight. Overall the guides 9/10, the value of the tour 9/10, the properties 8/10, Humala gets a 9/10, the activities 8/10, the staff service at the lodges 9/10, the friendliness 9/10, and the food - well that gets a 10/10. Braaai is my new favorite word. It is a barbecue but S. African style. It is to die for. Only negative was the excursion at a very dry Kruger park, as this SA reserve has been experiencing a drought.
The trip and flights (economy) cost us 10K. We would recommend this tour and company. Overall I give them 4.5 stars

A memorable trip to South Africa
Kathi from African Safari organised a 10-day trip for us to SA including Cape Town, Garden route and Safari. We initially contacted 6 agents, and Kathi was by far the most knowledgeble, organised and responsive. Upon arrival we were given a compehensive pack with infomation about all interesting places to visit on our way and all useful tips for our travel. I would highly recommend Kathi to anyone who wants to visit South Africa. Thank you Kathi for making our trip so special!

Best holiday ever
All the transports were perfectly organized. The 3 places we stayed at were as we expected them (or better) and the choice was made with the help of Ellie, who spent a long time talking to us, explaining every detail and giving her gentle suggestions. She was always ready to answer anything at any time of the day. Thanks a lot Ellie!!
The best part of our trip was the waling safari at Impala. The days on the beach were really relaxing. We were a bit disappointed by Stone Town, but this is due to our expectations rather than any problem. We were expecting something different. Maybe the problem was that nothing could compare with the safari for us.
We will keep this part short in order to avoid repeating what we said for the previous parts.
Best holiday we ever had!! The problem is we already want to go back...

Brilliant Trip - Brillant Service
Our safari with E-trip was fantastic - good accommodation, vehicles, great drivers and so many animals.
It far exceeded my expectations.
We enjoyed dealing with Ben and Auriele on the booking. With a once in a lifetime trip like this there was lots of to-ing and fro-ing with questions and changes. They also reply promptly and were excellent to deal with.
I thoroughly recommend doing a safari and doing it with e-trip Africa.

Perfectly planned and realized
We were a bit worried with so many destinations and transfers. But every thing was on time with proper transfer.
Choices offered by Marianne were again excellant with 3 days in Cape Town to recuperate from the travel and time lag. Kruger park with Rhino safaris located in the parc was an excellant choice with an excellant guide for a walking safari, Victoria Falls visit and Batonka new lodges were again a perfect choice for us. Chobe river was also a different kind of safari that we enjoyed very much. Finally our stay in the Okavango Delta with elephant so close from the tent and treking in the bush was a perfect choice. In excess all transfer or travelling was on time and adequate. We saw all animals that we wanted to see.
Excellent day tour of Nairobi

Great experience with outstanding customer service and a very nice and knowledgable team
We (me and my wife) did a 5 day safari with love&dove in Serengeti & Ngorongoro crater and it was definitively a great and memorable experience. First & foremost – I would definitively do any adventure and / or safari trip again with this company! So why?:
1. Really great customer service and acumen from the first point of contact:
a. the entire team was very helpful, flexible & fast in providing itinerary options according to our needs
b. we got picked up and welcomed at the airport in a very nice manner, all staff was perfectly capable of
speaking English and knowledgeable about our customized trip
c. …great sense of customer needs: we lost our baggage on the way to Kilimanjaro airport …love &
dove helped us to get it to us the very next day into the Serengeti camp, so that we really could enjoy
the trip
2. Staff was very nice, warm, professional and knowledgeable:
a. You will spend a lot of time with your driver while being on the safari. Our driver, Nova, was / is a
great person. He was very nice, took care of us and our personal needs and very knowledgeable, e.g.
we had to buy some stuff since our baggage was lost -> Nova (our driver) took care
b. Nova (our driver) was very knowledgeable about the area, the wildlife and the animals - his English
was very good.
3. Camps have been nice, clean and safe!
a. Camps have been selected according to our wishes and have been very good
b. The staff at all camps have been really kind – and everybody took care of our personal security, e.g.
w/r to mosquito or wildlife at night
We really experienced a very professional team at love & dove. It might be still a smaller company compared to other providers but I would always go again with them and would fully recommend their service.
Thanks again to the entire team!
Warm regs, Thorben
