The trip was organized perfectly, but some problem with our car spoiled a little our impressions
Beautiful country and wildlife, nice people!
Africa Nature Trekkers is a reliable host company. There are some problems with vehicles and roads around the country as a whole. All cars are old and not quite powerful. Sometimes our vehicles could not enter the hill or got stuck and our driver asked local people to help us to get out of the pit. But if you take it as an experience then everything is ok!)

Absolutely wonderful way to experience the Maasai Mara (in just 2 days!)
I only had 2 days (1 night) in Kenya and was keen to go on safari. A friend had booked through Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris and had a good experience so I booked a 2 day safari with them. We had a tight budget and I was worried this would affect the experience but it didn't at all. David was our driver and he made sure we saw so many animals - far more than I was expecting... even some lion cubs with a lion and lioness! He really looked after us. The accommodation was also better than I had expected - our 'tent' was more of a fixed structure with an en suite. One tip - pack lots of water and some fruit as you're driving for a very long time and it gets really hot. I'd really recommend Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris.

A fun filled week of wildlife watching with Benjamin and Fabrice
A fabulous family holiday safari perfectly arranged by Siya Phambile. They totally took all the stress of organisation and food away and left us to relax and watch the animals and birds in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. We had lots of laughs with them and would strongly recommend to others looking for an arranged safari trip.

The safari was amazing, and the host at our campsite was very hospitable.
We were able to see a lot of the wildlife, and our guide tried his best to find as many animals as he could for us, which was great. The bus that we were in was very comfortable, especially because it was just the 5 of us so there was some room to move. The food at the campsite was buffet-style and it was delicious - especially the meat stew. Our host at the hostel was also very nice and was happy to help us anytime as well. Our campsite came with a toilet, shower, and the bed was big and comfortable. Overall, it was a great experience and I highly recommend it!

Great!!!
Everything was very good from start to finish.
Lots of detail, information and answers in the planning stages followed by a great tour once we arrived in South Africa.
Communication was excellent before, during and after.
The tours, guides and accommodations were perfect for our family.

Best vacation of our life!
Our booking was done through Africa Welcome, and the owner, Kathi Simon, took amazing care of us from day 1 of planning. We were on opposite ends of the world, and Kathi had no problem answering our questions quickly and thoroughly, and making changes last minute - she was a gem and the entire reason we were able to go!
In South Africa, we started our voyage from Capetown, on to Franchoek (wine region) and then onward to Kruger National Park and then through Johannesburg on our way back home. The country of South Africa is like no other I have seen - it is so diverse, with a very westernized city like Capetown with amazing food and scenery, and then the wine region which was like Napa Valley or Okanagan (Canada) on steroids - it was THAT good - the buildings were designed beautifully and the wine was fantastic. And finally, the unbelievable wild animal life in Kruger National Park! It really was a dream trip and South Africa is an amazing place with many secrets that unfold for the tourist! Our private lodge, Simbavati, was beautiful, high-end, amazing service and food. Our guides and trackers made our trip, by teaching us so much about the animals, the terrain and the foliage. We loved every minute of our trip and have been highly recommending to anyone who will listen!
You MUST go to South Africa, we seriously thought about how we could move there, that's how amazing it is - no joke, you will be blown away!

Did not get picked up, terrible experience
It all went well before our trip. We got our quote, discussed with the company various information about our trip and pick up time, our number of guests etc... And we were anticipating our first safari experience.
We did not get picked up eventually. We have waited for an entire hour at the pick up spot, but we never saw the guide coming. In desperation, we tried to contact the company through all possible means -- WhatsApp, email, calling their number, and even trying to search for more contact information. All the call numbers cannot be reached, and no reply from the WhatsApp and email whatsoever.
We ended up losing all hope and ran to the town, booking another company in last minute.
We got contacted 3 hours later via WhatsApp, and we were told that the phone of the contact person has been stolen and thus the events that occurred. By then we already agreed to take an offer from another company. We were also very disappointed by the explanation, since we doubted whether it is entirely impossible to inform us via email, something that can be accessed with any laptop computer. We could also be easily found at our pick up location and informed in person, but we never saw that happen.
All in all, it was a terrible experience, and we wish that this would not happen to other travellers.

A one safaris provides a solid travel plan fully , fun packed and organized in every detail
Aone safaries sends information a week early always to allow proper preparation for the trip and adjustment. I found this very helpful as they kept me in the loop about places i would visit so i knew what go pack
