Top ranking safari with a first class guide
I am lucky enough to have been on safaris in Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania and Rwanda over almost 40 years. I had heard that Botswana was probably the best and it was. Our experience was greatly enhanced by Rob Barber's exceptional knowledge and skill which enabled us to enjoy some outstanding sightings.
Rob quietly runs a very efficient operation giving the best of personal service and enjoyment to his fortunate clients. Without doubt the best safari I have experienced.

Outstanding and exhilarating safari, tremendous fun too.
All worked brilliantly and was done with great expertise and at just the right level. We had some exceptional sightings which were made possible and were greatly enhanced, by our superb guide, Rob Barber. I would unreservedly recommend him and his company, Golden Africa for a truly memorable safari.

Kenya - Tanzania 1-week safari
Very well organised going to many different amazing places in both countries! Charity was very quick to respond to all our questions before the trip. Our guide was very experienced and really good company! Accommodation in Kenya was good value for money.

3 days in Maasai Mara great experience!
We had a pleasure to book 3day Maasai Mara safari in May 2016 departing from Nairobi. The service was excellent,our guide -Onesmas knew very well where to go to see the most animals, as well as was able to explain a lot of their habits. He also provided us with a tailor made visit to Maasai village where we are able to learn about this fascinating tribe. We would definitely book again !recommend

Supurb Gorilla Trek with Encounter Africa
I worked with Chris in the office to set up the Trek and Patrick was my Guide. Working with both were highlights of the package and I would not hesitate to work with them in the future.
I was pleased with Uganda and would return. It was a short trip down from Ethiopia where I had been on a photo safari for Ethiopian Wolves.
I stayed at Papyrus Guest House in Entebbe, Broadbill Forest Lodge in Bwindi Park, and Bird Nest Cottages in Lake Bunyonyi. I traveled solo but shared the Gorilla Trek with another traveler to downward adjust the costs. The star of the lodging experience was the Broadbill. Basic, but very clean with hot water available on demand. The personality of the owner and staff pushed the Broadbill to the top. I am not a luxury traveler, although I could be, but I prefer a more simple approach - they nailed it. Papyrus and Bird Nest were more than adequate and I was comfortable at those accommodations as well. I had been tent camping at 4,000m in Ethiopia, therefore, the comforts at the Broadbill, and menu, were sincerely appreciated.
The Gorilla Trek was fantastic and well worth the effort. A very professionally run experience!
Do it!

Awesome camping safari
I had such a great time on my safari. There were three of us, and we did a private three night camping safari. If you are looking for everything to go perfectly then look elsewhere. But if you are looking for a true African experience, are willing to be flexible and looking to have fun this company is definitely the way to go. I enjoyed not only learning about the animals but also learning about the Batswana people. Would highly recommend.

Amazing experience
This trip was better than I ever could have imagined! Everything was planned perfectly, from the accommodations, transportation, food, and overall service. The guides were knowledgeable of all the animals we were able to see, and willing to answer every question (no matter how many times we asked the same question). Our two guides went above and beyond to ensure we saw everything, and got the most out of the experience. This experience exceed all of my expectations, and I would highly recommend RA Safaris to anyone who is even considering the trip!

Excellent, reliable partner to plan you travel through Namibia
We have spent 3-weeks traveling around Namibia (6000 km). The trip has been organized by Allison from The Cardboard Box Travel Shop. Everything was perfectly arranged - car rental with great insurance package, trip plan, all accommodation. I can fully recommend The Carboard Box as a reliable partner and Allison in particular as a person fully engaged, very helpful as long as planning is concerned and giving a timely response whenever asked.

Fantastic Safari !
A few years ago, we spent a few days with Rob, our guide, in the Duba concession of the Northern Okavango Delta.
It was just unbelievable and unforgettable!!
Rob is completely passionate, he knows the bush very well, and he wanted to show us everything!
We spent some fantastic hours with him such as early mornings with some beautiful birds or some big lions sleeping, late afternoons in the middle of thousands of buffalos in some magic sundown lights, and even late evenings, under the stars, in the middle of millons of fireflies, or very close to the lions mating.
And we will never forget the lioness swimming across the river!
This was not our first experience of Africa, we have been traveling through Southern Africa several times, but we will keep this safari in our minds like a wonderful dream !
And we are really looking forward to coming back one day.
Thank you Rob!
