Excellent tour operator; first class service from start to finish, highly recommended
We used African Welcome Safaris for our recent holiday in South Africa. We are a group of friends (5 families, 22 people) who go on a group vacation every few years. This year we planned to do a safari and visit of Cape Town. I initially made contact with several agencies, however, from the very beginning i found Kathi (African Welcome Safaris) to be extremely proactive, professional and helpful. Kathi assessed our needs, enquired on a budget and within a couple of days developed a tailor made 10 day tour of South Africa. Kathi suggested Elephant Plains in the Sabi Sands Region in Kruger and clearly articulated the benefits of this reserve. She booked a 3 day safari for us and organised all internal flights and created a fantastic 5 day guided tour of Cape Town. From start to finish Kathi's communication was clear and she addressed our queries usually within 24 hours.
We have now returned from our holiday and we can say this has been one of our best holidays to date. From start to finish the organisation and planning was first class. The Safari experience at Elephant plains was amazing. The accommodation and dining was luxurious and the staff were extremely courteous and helpful. The rangers and trackers went out of their way to ensure we saw all the animals. We ended up seeing the big 5 on several occasions.
In Cape Town Kathi booked our accommodation in the Lawhill luxury apartments. The apartments are located in the Harbour Bay which is a great place to stay. Excellent security and facilities. Kathi made some very good recommendations for dinning and organised our group dinners. Graham was our tour guide in Cape town. He is friendly, knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome. We visited Table top mountain, Bo-Kaap, Cape of Good Hope, Boulders Beach, Robben Island and more.
To summarise we had a great experience from start to finish with African Welcome Safaris. Kathi was amazing and we would definitely recommend using this agency.

Don't think twice!
Are you looking for a professional, experienced, helpful, polite, knowledgeable tourist agent while in Namibia? Don't look elsewhere. Don't think twice.
Southbound Tours is the place and the experts you need when traveling through Namibia (which by the way is a great destination). We were assisted by Marco Theron, who helped us from booking beautiful hotels, from booking amazing game drives, to getting pick up services at the airports and finding the best SIM cards.
My husband and I came back from a fantastic trip hoping to be able to go back sometime soon, definitely with Southbound Tours.
Thank you so much Marco and coworkers.

Very organized, well planned honeymoon
We did the 11 day tour back in november for our honeymoon and we had an amazing time! Booking the tour was very easy, communication was very smooth and the hotels booked were top notch! Loved the hospitality! Our driver Adam took very good care of us. We learned so much from him, was very helpful and went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed the trip till the very last day. Thank you so much for everything. I would book again in the future.
