An exceptional African adventure thanks to Tokkies Travel!
My daughter and I have just returned from an extraordinary three-week adventure through South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia, all expertly organised by Tokkies Travel.
Despite having relatively short notice to put everything together, Mare-Lize created a wonderful itinerary that gave us the opportunity to experience four very different countries, culminating in 12 unforgettable days exploring Namibia.
For the first part of our trip, we travelled independently through South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana, with all our accommodation, airport transfers and connections arranged for us. Everything worked seamlessly. At every destination, someone was there to meet us, and we never once had to worry about the logistics of getting from one place to another.
In Namibia, we were fortunate to have Willa as our guide and driver for 12 days. She was absolutely wonderful. Her knowledge, enthusiasm and obvious love for her country added enormously to our experience, and it was a pleasure to explore Namibia in her company.
What particularly impressed us was the level of personal attention throughout the entire trip. Mare-Lize checked in with us daily during the first half of our journey and maintained regular contact with Willa while we were in Namibia. It was reassuring to know that someone was keeping an eye on everything behind the scenes, without ever intruding on our holiday.
The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, with just the right balance of organisation and flexibility to accommodate small changes along the way. To travel through four countries over three weeks, with numerous transfers, accommodation arrangements and activities, and not experience a single hitch is quite remarkable. It speaks volumes about the care, attention to detail and professionalism of the Tokkies team.
This was a very special trip for my daughter and I, made all the more memorable by the people who helped bring it together. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
A huge thank you to Mare-Lize, Willa and everyone at Tokkies Travel. I cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone considering an African adventure. If we are lucky enough to return to Africa, our first point of contact will be Tokkies!

An unforgettable safari with incredible wildlife and an amazing guide!
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience with Axis Africa Safaris! We visited the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli National Park, and we could not be happier with the experience. Everything was amazing from start to finish.
We saw so many incredible and unforgettable things throughout the trip. The incredible wildlife, amazing landscape, and unforgettable moments exceeded all our expectations.
A special thank you to our guide Jack, who made our safari even more incredible. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and always made sure we had the best possible experience. We felt very well taken care of throughout the entire trip.

everything was great
The tour was excellent. We were met at the airport, traveled comfortably, had pleasant conversations, and stayed in excellent hotels, with wonderful service staff and top-notch preparation. The safari was very interesting, the driver found interesting locations, and we saw lots of animals. Each place was superb and will remain in our memories. Thank you very much. Thanks to you, we fell in love with Tanzania. I will definitely recommend it to my friends and acquaintances.

An outstanding solo trip with excellent guides and seamless logistics
Ethio Top Land Tours completely exceeded my expectations. The company is highly reliable, communicates excellently, responds quickly, and offers great value for money. Despite the logistical challenges of travelling through the South Omo Valley, everything was handled seamlessly and professionally, including adapting the itinerary to weather conditions and to incorporate extra visits that weren't originally included, and rescheduling a cancelled flight so I could continue my journey on time.
As a solo traveller, I couldn't have asked for better guides. Lamesgn and Abel made me feel more like a friend than a client, and I always felt safe and well looked after. They shared fascinating insights into Ethiopia, while local guides from the communities we visited privided local knowledge and reduced the language barrier. Ethio Top Land Tours ensured the cultural experiences were authentic, respectful and non-intrusive.
I wholeheartedly recommend Ethio Top Land Tours and I look forward to traveling with them again in the future!

An unforgettable Kilimanjaro trek and safari!
I had a wonderful experience with Ron Adventure, combining a Kilimanjaro trek with a safari in Tanzania. Everything was perfectly organised, allowing me to fully enjoy the adventure and the incredible places we visited.
From the very first messages, Ronald was always available, answering my questions and helping me prepare every detail of the trip. His support continued throughout my stay, and meeting him in person made the whole experience feel welcoming and personal.
The Kilimanjaro trek was unforgettable, with breathtaking landscapes and a fantastic team. The safari was equally amazing: beautiful scenery, extraordinary wildlife and so many memorable moments.
I would highly recommend Ron Adventure to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania. Thank you, Ronald and the whole team, for an experience I will always remember!

Natural and grounding
I would highly recommend Shinzelle Tours to anyone. My daughter and I recently travelled with them through Kruger. The tours, guides (shout out to James & Jeffrey) accommodation, staff (special mention to Danielle) food, everything was perfect and so well organised. I will definitely be travelling with them again.

An Unforgettable Experience with Explore Travel and Tours – Victoria Falls
My experience with Explore Travel and Tours was truly memorable! Travelling solo to Victoria Falls was a special milestone for me, and I am grateful for the opportunity to experience such a beautiful destination.
From the travel arrangements to the overall experience, this trip gave me beautiful memories, moments of adventure, and a sense of accomplishment. Victoria Falls was breathtaking, and celebrating my birthday while travelling solo made the experience even more meaningful.
A special thank you to MARIKI and the team for assisting with the arrangements and helping make this trip possible. I returned home with a full heart, wonderful memories, and a reminder that sometimes, you simply have to take that leap of faith and explore the world on your own.
Thank you, explore plus Travel and Tours, for being part of my Victoria Falls story! ✈️❤️

One of the best experiences of my life
I travelled with my mother and we had such a fabulous time! We had an 8-day safari from Okawango Delta through Chobe national park to Victoria Falls. We did camping options so we spent 5 nights camping in the bushes - 2 nights in Moremi, 2 nights in Khwai and 1 night in Savuti. I must admit, that I was really nervous at first for sleeping in the tent, but in the end I am extremely happy we did it. The tents had comfortable camping beds and the camp crew was amazing! Mompati was super nice and helpful, and our own master chef Creature cooked amazing meals for us.
Monika was such a professional and knowledgeable guide. He taught us a lot about the wild life and he knew his way around the national parks like it was his own backyard. He seemed to have a sixth sense when it came to finding the animals - we saw so many! Lions, cheetah, giraffe, elephants, zebra, wild dogs and many more. Leopards seemed to be hiding well from us, but we did eventually manage to see one of those too!
Sekanka's local partners in Zimbabwe were extremely friendly and professional too, and The Shearwater Explorer Village was a great place to stay after all the camping. Victoria Falls was definitely worth the visit and the sunset cruise in Zambezi river was a cherry on top of the already great experience.
Everything went great from the start, when I first contacted the office to the final ride to the airport. Even though there were some unexpected challenges during the trip (like a flat tire etc.), they were handled really well and professionally. I literally have nothing bad to say about this trip. It was one of the best experiences of my life, and I will be recommending Botswana and Sekanka Travels to anyone thinking about doing a safari in southern Africa.
