The best quality-to-price ratio.
A fantastic safari for a reduced price. Only would improve the food in the camp.

Great safari experience
The booking experience was great. The actual safari was excellent. Even the hotel stay was great. Thanks to John Maasai. We will be back.

Amazing honeymoon
The travel agency really pleasantly surprised us with nice hotels one after the other as we made our way along the garden route. They made it a point to put us up in different types of hotels e.g. Rustic, countryside, elegant, beach resorts, etc. For us to experience the different hospitality services that S Africa has to offer. They also told the hotels that it was our honeymoon and we were treated with such love!
Special mention goes to monique who handled our booking. She was flexible and made really good recommendations, open to changing our booking to address our last minute requirements. She was always friendly and prompt to reply and we were thankful for her high service standards.

a good African experience
I did a tour through Uganda with Matoke. This Ugandan-Dutch organisation gave me a great experience of this wonderful nation. The places we went to were well chosen, accomodation (budget) was generally well, the driver a wonderful man, but the communication between HQ and travellers / driver were not always 100% which could always be overcome, but gave some slight disappointments. Still, Uganda is a beautiful country which has a lot to offer, so if you'd like to discover more about it, Matoke is a good organisation to get in touch with.

Great experience !
We had a great time in Kenya and East Africa Shuttles make it possible. Also the communication whit Chris was very good, when we had a question when we were at home, he always answer directly. we are staying at Lenchada Tourist Camp and the people there did a great job. It was basic but very clean en the people are vey friendly.
If we come back to Kenya then we will book again by East Africa Shuttles.
We will thank everyone for doing a great job.
God bless you all.

The Fossil Trail is an educational delight framed by the mountains in the background.

The mountains are incredible and a horse-ride through the hills adds to the experience.

Review about Camdeboo National Park by Sharon du Plessis
The view over looking the Valley of Desolation is magnificent. The wildlife and birding around the dam is an extra bonus.

Review about Augrabies Falls National Park by Sharon du Plessis
When the waterfalls are in full flow, their beauty is awesome. The birding is well-worth the extra travel time.

Landscape panoramic heaven
The landscape scenery is absolutely stunning at any time of the day or in any weather condition. As a photographer there are plenty of opportunities to indulge photographic interludes. Parking your vehicle in one spot and taking a photo of the same landscape of a period of time results in a kaleidoscope of images.
Birds are plentiful, especially in the short grasslands and around the campsite in the shrubs more small and medium sized birds are to be discovered. The regal Blue Crane is present in the grassland areas as well as the Secretarybird. Verreaux's Eagle can be seen soaring along the cliff tops.
Antelope is to be found in all the biomes represented in the national park with plenty of the Cape Mountain Zebra too be seen as well. Predators such as the Lion and Cheetah are more scarce to be seen, unless you are prepared to pay for the Cheetah Tracking safari. The smaller mammals such as the Ground Squirrel, Meerkat and Mongoose are seen in the shorter grassland areas and are a delight to watch.
We splashed out on an evening game drive. Our guide was knowledgable on all topics of the park and conservation and environmentalism in general, as well as super friendly. I wanted to see owls and he obliged by taking us past a know Spotted Eagle Owl nest. The vehicle was comfortable and extra warm poncho's were provided to keep us warm in the cold night air.
The camping site was neat and tidy and the ablution facilities were sufficient for our short stay. A kitchen with a fridge, freezer, cooking tops and microwave oven was available for all the campers use as needed.
We made use of one of the picnic sites situated outside the restcamp area for one lunchtime barbecue. The children used the ample space to bicycle around and swam in the natural rock pool at the site.
