Kruger Trip
Private Kruger Safaris took us on a delightful morning trip into the Kruger National Park. We saw a rhino up close and also witnessed a herd of elephants crossing the road around us on their way to the watering hole. Our guide, Bernhard was very knowledgable and answered all our questions. Well worth it!

My whole experience with Wild Africa was fantastic, Robert was very helpful.
Overall our experience was wonderful, organising the trip with Robert was hassle free and he was very helpful with any questions we had. we felt the trip was very well organised.
We felt very safe most of the time and for two women travelling alone this was huge for us. Our drivers were incredible they made us feel so welcome and looked after us so well. The people in Kenya and Tanzania where lovely so friendly and approachable, the accommodation considering it was in the middle of no where was great felt very clean we were impressed. The food on a whole was nice we really enjoyed the way meals are arranged in Kenya and Tanzania being included in your stay it makes it so much easier to just relax and enjoy yourself.
The activities in Kenya and Tanzania where amazing experiences that we will remember for the rest of our lives and we feel so privileged to have been able to experience them. The only activity I didn't enjoy was the Masi Mara Village tour, I felt very uncomfortable the whole time and I was made to feel like I had to purchase their souvenirs. It felt like a tourist trap and I was being taken advantage of because I was young female and traveling without a male relative. I would never recommend this activity to anyone and in future I think this needs to be explained better to tourists. Also we weren't really told how much "tipping" is expected, being Australian we don't really tip in our country and we weren't prepared or aware of how this is done. I think this needs to be added to you information about the two countries so tourist know to travel with lots of small notes. and how much to give for each services.
Next we went to Zimbabwe, apart from Victoria falls I didn't like the whole experience really, I felt unsafe, the food was awful, the people unhappy and rude and the hotel room unclean. I have no intention of ever go back there.
Botswana was better but still not as good as Kenya and Tanzania don't feel like it was worth the extra money and effort to go there.
Overall I believe Wild Africa organised a wonderful holiday for us and we already have told so many people about your company and recommended your service. we would defiantly travel with Wild Africa again!

Discovering South Africa
This was the best organized trip I have ever had. All my expectations were met. The safaris in kruger, sabi sabi, okovongo delta and the garden route were exquisite: The best rangers With so much knowledge about the lives of the animal kingdom. The accomodations were fantastic. The service was lovely.
Capetown facinated me as a place I would consider living in for a few months. I had the best seafood and fish everyday. The variety of fish was incredible.
The most exciting was seeing the big five in 2 days in Sabi Sabi. And cheetahs, lepards and lions mating! And a fresh kill! With lionesses eating first before the male lion arrived. And the hyenas waiting their turn.
The unforgetable white shark cage dive in the freezing murky waters off Capetown was a first! Monstruous sharks áttacking the cage had the adrenalin boiling!
I highly recommend this company for organizing the perfect adventure!

Honeymoon Safari
My Husband and I used It Started In Africa and our guide was Thobias. It was the most amazing experience of our lives. The service was incredible. At the end of our safari before heading to Zanzibar i broke my camera and was devastated BUT It Started In Africa came to the rescue and lent me one of their cameras to take with me to the island of Zanzibar. It was very gracious and generous on their part. Our chef was fantastic and the food was beyond my expectations. If you have any questions or would like to see some pics just message me!

I chose Wild Africa for my Garden Route tour because your itinerary had more to offer than others.
My Wild Africa experience began when I researched tours on the net...your tour appealed to me and from my frequent contacts with Robert, who always promptly attended to any queries, I felt I had chosen wisely.
My driver/guide Chris collected me and immediately set the tone for the next 4 days by being an excellent driver and informative guide. He always gave me a complete rundown on the days activities, was very considerate in making sure I had regular comfort stops, was protective in his advice of do's and dont's for my free time...he obliged me several times with photo stops, was always on time and dutifully made sure I didn't miss out on anything, despite the fact that I was the only passenger...this proved to be a bonus as I had unlimited time to bombard him with questions and endless chatter.
Wild Africa exceeded my expectations tenfold...I loved your program...the Bufflesdrift Safari Lodge and game drive was a wonderful inclusion to appreciate the African experience.
Your tour had such a variety of activities included, that it was full on each day....I loved it all.
Wild Africa Garden Route tour, though not the cheapest, gave me a wonderful insight into your country and it's customs, and I will long remember the experience. Your tour was indeed value for money.
Thanks to your Australian agent in Robert...he is an asset to your company. Chris believes in his Africa, and truly likes his work, and it shows in the excellent way he explains his Africa, so that I , as a visitor, can get the best experience..not only from seeing your magnificent scenery...like Storm River mouth....but have a better insight into the African way of life.
Thank you to all at WA company....you have made me want to return soon.

Trip of a lifetime.
Journey Beyond made all the arrangements for us (two couples) traveling through Botswana and South Africa in 2012. Every detail was looked after professionally. We couldn't imagine better service. The itinerary was created personally for us. Journey Beyond selected exactly the kind of hotels and resorts we were interested in.
We have recommended them to several other travelers who all come back raving about their trip.

Reliable and great communication
We went on a three day safari with Kanuth. We booked a tour in Salous, but because of the rain he organised a trip to Mikumi for us and it was great! The accomodation was below the standards of the lodge in Selous, but we still good enough. You can trust Kanuth no matter what and he will be there for u!

Karibu made my safari into a wonderfull experience
I had a fantastic safari thanks to Karibu safaris. I had a really warm welcome and I was very surprised about the good care they gave me. I was alone, but they ensured me that I was safe during the trip and they looked very good after me. They even arranged a night in a hotel for me for free. During the safari we had an amazing driver, who guided us to every animal we wanted to see! His name was Jackson and he is really the best driver you could wish! The overall service was excellent and so I was very happy with Karibu!

Amazing animal paradise
The animals abundance and the beautiful scenery in Tanzania is just awesome. I visited Serengeti, ngorongoro and lake manyara in 4 days with Asante Tanzania Safaris and I saw everything I always wanted to see in the animal kingdom!
Our tour guide was perfect with good information and the cook was marvelous too. Its adviseable to carry a sleeping bag for more comfort at night.
Unforgetable safaris in Tanzania

Wildroot Safaris stuff like camping gears were in good and quality. the vehicle was good and comfortable and installed inverter and fridge, we charged our Camera and every day we enjoyed cold drinks when on game drive. We highly recommend Wildroot Safaris for any one who want to visit to Tanzania.
