Very competent Safari organizer
Planning was very competent, and all interactions with Antelope staff (head office, drivers) was delightful and 5 star. The only drawback was the lodge chosen whose quality had gone done a bit.
All things considered, the safari was a resounding success, and organizing it with Antelope was easy and a joy.

Adventure we will never forget
My wife and I have always enjoyed travelling, specially to the places with magnificent wildlife. This year we finally decided to go to the epicenter of wildlife – Tanzania. And we definitely weren't disappointed. Without any doubt one of the best adventures in our lives.
Surely it would not have been as good without our guide Ravi. We really appreciated his expertise in the wildlife as stories about land mammals and birds made the game drive experience even more vivid. He knew places where to find certain types of animals and had an eagle eye to spot them. After long game drives we dinned together and listened to his stories about wildlife and local culture. Furthermore, we really liked that we were not chasing after big 5 (even though we saw the all), but enjoyed every living being that we saw.
Least but not last, you can tell that he really cares about his customers. From the day we were picked up at the airport till the day we left Ravi took excellent care of us. A great example would be the first evening in Serengeti when the rock broke our car's cooler. With closest repair options being far far away it surely seemed that we would be stranded in lodge for a day. In turn Ravi organized a car from another lodge while ours was in repair.
Thank you!

Superb Service!!
We had a fantastic time, seeing the wildebeast migration and seeing all the animals up close. Aaron our driver was very nice and knowledgeable and was always happy to answer questions with a smile. The tents were cozy and functional and we were really happy to see all the animals in their natural environment. Patricia and the rest of the team were also very helpful with the bookings and all the arrangements. Overall we had an unforgettable time!!!

Very efficiently and stylishly organised as per our needs. There was nothing more we could ask for.
My husband and I had the best time during this trip. It was flawless and everyday was most enjoyable. The accomodation was upto our standards and the service at every place we stayed was impeccable. The safaris in each place was excellent and mind you different in its own way. The sense of anticipation made it even more special. We saw some amazing animals and behaviours of the big ones.
If anyone plans to do a safari, Encompass Africa is the way to go. Jonathon Wilson understands what makes a good safari along with what one requires personally.
Thank you Jonathon! We absolutely loved it.
Worst experience in Africa so far
We booked with Erick for a safari in the Masai Mara as Ugandan residents. First of all, the "guide" Isaac basically just functions as a driver without any explanations or insights about anything happening at the Mara.
Thinking that would be the worst of our problems, we arrive to Lake Nakuru for the last day with the surprise that for that specific park the fees for Ugandan residents don't apply and that we have to pay extra 60 USD if we want to visit the park. Of course Erick was not to be reached at this time (as probably he is working along the scam) and we were denied admission as we refused to pay the extra 120 USD, wasting our time and hard-earned money.
Erick and Tracks Berg Travel just excused themselves saying there was nothing to be done. This the worst experience I have had in Africa so far so I would recommend everyone to avoid Erick and Tracks Berg Travel if you want to avoid hidden charges and extra fees on the spot

Magic Africa
I did the 13-Day Improved Southern Explorer with Jobovic in August this year. I loved all the trip, expecially Elefant Sands! The lodges were simple, nice and most of them with swimming pool. Piet and Bryce were kind and professional. Bryce is a very good chef and we enjoied a lot the real african food! Good choice of extra activities and very good organization of tours and guided activities. Great!

Great Experience!
We did 13-Day Improved Southern Explorer tour this year (lodge option). It has been a wonderful experience. Everything was well organized. The guide Bryce is an experienced and expert guide. The driver Piet is a professional driver. Both of them have a long experience in travelling with groups across Africa. We had great time with them! They did this tour lots of times, they know every place and they always gave us good suggestions.
