Incredible nature
The safari was great. Everything is according to the program as described. The staff in the lodge and the ranger were friendly. During the 2,5 days of the safari, we saw the big five and many other animals. The prices on the website were at least 30% more expensive in comparison to the prices for tours that could be booked in the lodge directly. So, the tours at the travel agency may be reduced.

A wonderful trip.
I contacted Fine Bush Tours because I wanted to use a local tour operator, and not a big international one. We got a very good deal, and had a memorable holiday. When we landed in Maun, Ihani was there. She had made arrangements for us to leave our big suitcases with a tour operator so that we could travel light when we took our small plane to the Delta. Those little touches make a difference .Our camp was excellent and we really enjoyed the part of the trip organized by FBT.

Considerate and accomodating to all our needs.
My partner and I travelled with Nicholas and Jonathan on a tour to Murchinson Falls in September 2022.
The trip was spectacular in that we saw all of the animals and the magnificent Murchison Falls . We even had an extra time slot arranged for us in order to seek out the lions which we did get to see ! Nicholas and Jonathan always put our needs first and were quite flexible at times when we wanted to change our plans for the day . They made sure we were always safe . There was even one occasion at The Falls that triggered a memory with my partner (Ugandan ) with Nicholas stepping in immediately and offering comfort and guidance which went far beyond anything I would expect from a tour operator . I was oblivious to this at the time as I was capturing on camera , the magnificence of the Falls !
Nicholas and Jonathan became more than tour operators , they became our friends . We stayed at Pakuba lodge which Nicholas and Jonathan had chosen for us which was lovely . Nicholas drove us safely and expertly in the van on all the roads we travelled on from Kampala to Murchison Falls . The beauty of choosing All in Africa Safaris is that you communicate directly to Nicholas and Jonathan in the begiinning to discuss your itinerary and your needs and then they are the same ones that drive you there . You feel like you know them before you start out ! Thankyou Nicholas and Jonathan for always keeping us safe on the journey and for all the laughs along the way . We will definitely be arranging our next safari with you both .

Vast and beautiful with very diverse people and wildlife.
South Africa was our family dream trip. Seeing the animals in their natural environment while on the safari was the highlight of our trip. It was very majestic. But everywhere you ride in South Africa from Johannesburg to Kruger to Cape Town all you see is vast and beautiful scenery all around. It also has a great deal of diversity among the people there. Beautiful mountains, canyons with rivers/streams, waterfalls, etc. I recommend that everybody comes at least once in their lifetime if they can.

The tour was quite okay. The connecting agent was equally good and ready to help
We were able to tour all places as planned. We got good tour guides and assistance was always readily available.
We however recommend that when booking for a family the air tickets should not be done separately especially when children are involved.

Excellent communication upfront, timely pick up.
Shipungo Travels wa a very reliable partner as we had to plan our trip from Kenya. Their offer was fair and they kept it valid until short notice (we wanted to wait and see how the weather in Ocavago was at the planned days). The communication upfront was excellent. We were picked up very punctually, the vehicle was in excellent condition. All was well planned. Some minor improvements in the equipment - and staff (The main guide was extremeley knowledgeable and experienced but his English language skills basic so that we could not understand a lot of the information provided. Pity!

Agency that brokers stays at Game lodges in South Africa
I was a little late looking for a Game Lodge close to Cape Town and somehow ended up with Gems of Africa.
They were not able to get me a stay at one lodge, but the stay had to be split on two lodges. Due to a storm one of those than had to close for a longer period for renovation and Gems got me an alternative - unfortunately with a 3-4 hour drive instead of 30 min. In the end the drive was not too bad, since I got to see a little bit of the country. Bad thing: I had to pay extra, because the alternative lodge was a little more expensive. Well, it probably also was a little more luxurious.
Gems of Africa handled everything nicely. Thank you!
