The country has an immense variety of fauna and flora, people were very welcoming.
We had a great time in South Africa, as we were lucky enough to spend 3 weeks there. The variety is great, we saw many « safari » animals, as well as whales and penguins, but also could spend time in nice town areas having good drinks and food. Definitively recommend to spend enough time there and explore the coast as well as the North

The best place for first safari and watching predators
In the Masai Mara you can watch lions, cheetahs and, if fortunately, leopards. Of course, elephants and many other popular animals are much.
At Nakuru Park,you can watch Rhinos,which is rare in other parks.
I took 4D3N safari through these two parks and got to see all these animals.
In brief, you can see all BIG5s and another popular animals in these parks if you have one week.
Compared to Botswana where I've been, I had more chance to watch predators in the country,because driver had effort to seek them.
On the other hand, safari in the country is all arranged as start/end at Nairobi, also the security in this country is not as good as the Southern African country.
Therefore, if you have a specific goal to see the famous animals in the savannah, this is the country for you.

Gundua works hard to optimize and customize the safari experience.
Communications were reliable to the point of being exceptional. Service, in our case of the Land Cruiser, was good, especially when you consider the remoteness of our locations. The services provided by our guide Leonard were exemplary. He had the eyes of a hawk in finding things, and was seriously knowledgeable about habitat, where to find the animals and their attributes and ways of living. Plus he was genuinely as nice a man as you'd ever want to meet. The value was really great because the lodging and food truly exceeded our expectations. The tour itself was super fun, very adventurous and enlightening. The trip was epic: the trip of a lifetime.

More than I expected!!!
after Covid pandemic we really wanted to go as far as possible.. A friend suggested me why not Africa.. at the beginning we were a bit unsure because we never been there. The entire journey was more than I expected. Our Tour Guide “James “ was amazing he showed me and my family a lot things!! Maasai Mara was one of my favourite..!
Do not forget to ask for Amboselli game we loved it.
the price was Ok and worth because we have seen a lot in such a short time and very very friendly guide !!!!!

Amazing experience in Tanzania with Mwangaza, everytime during the tours we had the accompanying of our needs, reviews, proposals, etc...
They made for us a tour around Tanzania for 4 days discovering the country by all it's marvelous places. Safari was great, many animals seen due to the driver's experience in the park. The accomodations were really good, and the food as well. I will never forget this experience of having a safari in the jungle and then in the sea "safari blue" in Zanzibar.
Highly recommended to enjoy and relax the journey with them.

Five star, luxury 10 day trip of a lifetime in Western Cape and Kruger
Craig and Bianca arranged an amazing 10 day itinerary for our first visit to South Africa which blew all of our expectations.
Our accommodation in each location was absolute luxury; from Whale viewings from our bedroom window in Hermanus, to relaxing in an outdoor pool on the outskirts of Kruger, we benefitted from Craig and Bianca's connections and experience in the industry at each point, which also translated into amazing value for money.
Our guides in both locations were outstanding - Christopher from Kurt Safari in Kruger, and Gareth in Cape Town. Both had such a wealth of knowledge about the local areas, history and culture; there was never a dull moment on the journeys.
This was the only company who we communicated with where we really felt like our trip was completely tailored to exactly what we wanted, with helpful tips and suggestions added in if we wanted. We were catered for from start to finish, each stage of the trip was carefully planned and communicated throughout.
Furthermore, upon learning of an unplanned flight delay on our final day, Bianca went above and beyond to find us alternative accommodation, transfers and dinner; all in beautiful and safe locations. She made what could have been a stressful end to our holiday (thanks to the airline) an absolute breeze, we are incredibly grateful for her help in our hour of need. This just epitomised the personal level of service we recieved from start to finish.
Thank you for the adventure of a lifetime. We have already recommended Southern Africa Tours to friends and family and can't wait to come back!

Great Safari with a reliable agency !
We had a three days Safari with Focus in Africa with Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Lake Manyara.
The contact with Nelson was very easy from the beginning and our early changes of schedule weren't a problem.
Nelson provided a pickup at Arusha airport to our hotel the night before and the next morning for the Safari.
We had wonderful Safaris and saw a lot of animals, especially in Tarangire and the beauty of the Ngorongoro crater was absolutely stunning ! We saw the Big Five (the rhinos were distant and the leopard sleeping in a tree) and so much animals very close from the car !
We unfortunately had a problem with a car while safaring at Ngorongoro (a double breakdown from 2 non related parts, even the driver said he never experienced that !) and we had to wait for the repairement. The driver (Simba) was great for dealing the issue and keeped us safe.
Nelson was informed of the situation and provided us a compensation for the missed hours and the late return. So we had the opportunity to visit the Materuni waterfalls near the Kilimandjaro and to be dropped at the Airport. By the way, the driver, Joel, is great, he drives smoothly, takes care of his guests, is funny and is very communicative about the planning ! I totally recommand him !
I can say that Nelson is a reliable and reachable person who really takes care of his guests. I was afraid when we had the problem that he wouldn't answer me back, but it was the opposite, we stayed in contact all the time via WhatsApp. And furthermore, this tour was cheaper than many others Safaris we saw for the same quality, so it's the best value for money.
So thanks again Nelson for everything, and if I have the chance to come back for the Serengeti Park, I will totally book from your agency !

Everything we needed and more.
We went on a 4 day tented lodge Safari to Tarangiere, 2 days of Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Beforehand all our questions were answered via WhatsApp - quickly and satisfying. We came by bus from Lushoto and they organised a driver who picked us up as soon as the bus arrived in Arusha. The hotel they organised for the night before the safari was excellent. In the evening we got a personal Briefing and all questions big and small were answered. And on the morning our tourguide Lewis arrived on time to pick us and another pair up. Lewis turned out to be formidable driver, a really good guide and an all around nice guy. You can hit him up with an animal question and he will give you an answers. The first night on the safari we stayed at a really luxurious lodge and the other nights in tent bungalows with hot showers and real beds inside the parks. Food was epic and the service amazing. The game drives went really well. Lewis knows his stuff and found us all the animals we could think of. Elephants, lions, giraffes, big 5, ugly 5, everything, in the end even a rare rhino. All in all these guys are pros and make you feel like kings. Excellent service, excellent accommodation, excellent game drives. On time and always there to help. Thank you!
