A wonderful experience
We had a truly wonderful holiday, organised by Kathi at African Welcome Safari’s. The insight, advise and responsiveness in organising the trip was excellent. It really was one of the best holidays we have ever had.
The accommodation recommendations were impeccable. We had six nights on safari. Kapama made a great start to the holiday, the accommodation was fabulous and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. The game drives at Elephant Plains in Sabi Sands were on another level entirely, we loved it there. The setting was just sublime. We couldn’t believe how much we saw! The food was a bit hit and miss but we weren’t there for the food
Cape Town was fantastic, so much to see and do. We had some fabulous meals and we really loved the city. We had five nights in Cape town but I think if we did it again we would try have a little longer there so we could spread out the sightseeing.
The wine tour organised by Kathi was a real highlight, our driver was just fantastic, really knowledgeable, he was the perfect guide. Blackheath Lodge was just one of the nicest places to stay, the design was quirky and tasteful and the staff were fantastic. The little details like the prepaid mobile phone for our use, the welcome drinks etc were just brilliant and the breakfasts were delicious. We also enjoyed our short stay in Stellenbosch.
Overall an amazing holiday. We would love to go back!

ACZsafaris exceeded my expectations
I booked a 4days Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru private safari with ACZsafari and I was really pleased with their services. They choose the best lodges for our budget and gave us the best guide ever. The whole process was so smooth the it seemed so good to be true, our guide did his best and we were lucky to spot all big 5; alot of lions with some on top of trees (I have never experienced this before) herds of elephants in Mara, buffaloes, rhinos in Lake Nakuru and a leopard with its cub in Masai Mara among other many animals and bird. This is the best safari I have ever done. I am planning to book with them again in August this year.

Very personal, patient and reliable service by the Safari Source = Fantastic Roundtrip in Zimbabwe!
At first we tried to organize our two week trip to Zimbabwe by ourselves and were not very successful..until a friend recommended the Safari Source to us.
Monika and Miriam were really patient answering every question we had in many Emails and Skype conversations, until we we figured out what suited us best and developed the perfect programme for our needs, our budget and our limited time.
They will keep in touch with you while on the road to make sure you are not having any problems and you will feel like in the hands of a friend you have known for a long time.
Don't miss your chance for a perfect holiday and book with the Safari Source!

Perfect family trip to Vic Falls - thanks to Nyati and driver Alec!
As Americans living in Harare, we were thrilled to find Goof and his crew at Nyati Travel & Tours. Their offices are easily located on Rhodesville in Highlands and they provided an excellent 19 seater bus, along with trailer and driver for our 15 person family vacation to Vic Falls. After pricing out many other options - self drive, renting of 4x4's, etc. Terence and Goof were able to meet our financial expectations while keeping the quality of the vacation and experience top notch!
If you need tips, guidance, guides, drivers or vehicles and are looking for a super efficient, quick response, at very competitive rates, contact Nyati Travel! They served us most excellently!

Alex Marti of Larga - the most capable, caring & knowledgeable guide; loved his stories!
This was a tour of a lifetime. Alex Marti and his crew took us to excellent areas where we truly felt in the wild of Tanzania. He knows the locals, the parks, the animals and habitats. He understands and works to preserve the culture of tribal life and has a deep reverence for the land and wildlife. I felt safe and cared for-- and had many amazing encounters with elephants, lions and many others. I cannot say enough about Alex and his crew-- at the end of our time, I felt I made a dear friend and would recommend his company to anyone.

A perfectly planned safari
I contacted Gondwana to help me plan a safari in Botswana, and they put together a great trip. I stayed several nights at two camps and had amazing animal sightings. The staff at each camp were superb, from guides to wait staff to housekeeping. Everyone was extremely friendly, and the guides were very knowledgeable and clearly cared about making sure the guests had a great time. I was there for New Year's Eve and we were privileged to watch as the staff sang and danced in celebration. I'll definitely return to Botswana to check on the adorable leopard cub I was lucky enough to spend most of new year's day with, and I'll contact Gondwana to help me plan the trip again.

Extraordinary Experience!
What an amazing experience!! My girlfriend and I did the 4-day Massai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha safari and completely fell in love with Kenya's people, culture, wildlife and nature. Lucy helped us book the safari and made everything seamless. She answered all my questions and showed a lot of patience. Everything went as expected.
The star of the show was Martin, our driver and guide. He made our safari experience exponentially greater than it could have ever been. Very accommodating and caring... he truly cared about our experience and didn't just take us through the motions. Thanks to Martin we were able to see the Big Five and all the other animals we wanted to see. He has an encyclopedic knowledge about everything Kenyan (and African). Ask him questions about any animal, he'll give you an answer better than the National Geographic. I also enjoyed discussing Kenyan economy and politics during our long rides and breaks which he is very knowledgeable about as well.
Thank you Lucy and Martin for an unforgettable experience.
Until next time,
Daniel and Uzma

Safari
Our Madikwe Safari experience was wonderful. The booking and transfers to and from the reserve were very smooth. The Bush Lodge was extremely welcoming (including generously providing honeymoon champagne) and our guide was excellent. We had good luck seeing a variety of animals on the drives and at the nearby waterhole. Hopefully we will be able to make it back next time we visit South Africa.
