It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.
Me & my wife went on our annual vacations. We booked 3 nights stay with safaribookings.com. It was extremely well planned & managed by Mr.Andre. He took care of each and every minor detail and made sure that we did not face any issue during our stay. From airport pick up to arranging halal food to taking us to Pilanesberg & then bringing us back, everything was perfectly executed.We stayed at Manyane resort to enjoy our safari. Our guide Thabbo also proved to be quite nice & friendly. Transportation, accommodations both at Jo'berg & Pilanesberg were quite amazing. Halal food was arranged easily everywhere. In short, if we have ten options to go book our safari expedition, every time i will book with Mr.Andre:extremely thankful to him.

One big adventure
The main attraction is the game life, hands down! Second price goes to the scenery and only third to food and beverages.
But above all are the warmth and friendliness of the locals.
However beware of sudden changes to your itinerary due to abrupt heavy rain (during rain season that is).
This might not really affect you inside Kruger but can hit you even harder in a private resort.
Apart from that, always wear sun protection and a mosquito repellent.

An Unforgettable Custom Trip to a Wonderful Country
My review begins approximately 3 months prior to our trip. I began my communication with Cathy at TripCare Adventures to receive a quote for a trip to Uganda. Cathy proceeded to have a dialogue with me to find out what our main areas of interest were, our travel style, and what physical activity level we prefer. She really took the time to get to know me so that she could come up with the best plan possible for my husband and mine's trip, rather than just giving me a generic trip like most other tour operators that I reached out to had done. I knew based off our early conversations that I was in the right hands. She was always readily available to discuss any concerns that I had. Most importantly, because she is based in Uganda, she was actually able to address my questions with first-hand knowledge and experiences with various lodges and activities.
Fast forward, and we land in Kampala. Cathy and our driver, Horace, picked us up! We immediately felt so welcomed and they went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable during our two weeks together touring Uganda. Cathy always made sure to assist with check-in/check-out at the various hotels/lodges and would also message me some nights to make sure that we were okay. The night before we were to go gorilla trekking, I became ill with a stomach issue. In the morning, I decided it would be best to sadly miss out on the trek and sent my husband to go alone. The moment Cathy found out, she came running down to my room and really pushed me to go as she knew how important it had been to me during the planning process. She told me that in the worst case scenario someone would carry me (thank goodness, this was not necessary) and that I must not miss it. With her encouragement, I decided to give it a go. She arranged for us to be put in the "easier" trek group and made sure the guide was aware of my health issues. Before departing, she even ran some medicine to me. If it had not been for her, I would have missed out on this bucket list activity which I had traveled very far to do.
I cannot recommend this company enough! They truely went above and beyond for us to make sure that we had a trip of a lifetime. The pricing for our trip was much lower than other quotes that I had received. At first this was a concern for me, as I thought it might be too good to be true. By booking with a local company, we were able to save so much money and most likely received far better service than foreign tour operators are able to give. Amon (the company owner) took time to meet us prior to us taking off from Kampala at the beginning of our trip, as well as having dinner with us on our last night to make sure that we had been happy with everything.
I am so grateful for this company and the memories and friendships created that will last a lifetime! We hope to return again someday and will be booking with TripCare Adventures!

Exceeded all expectations
Good communications. All mails were replied to promptly and clearly.
Our two groups arrived at two airports. There was someone to meet us at both, which had been a slight concern. So well organised.
We stayed in a variety of lodges and hotels and camps . We have our favourites but they were all friendly, clean, with good food and expecting us.
We had a very good guide who had good knowledge, excellent reference books and who listened to our requests and desires. He did brilliantly in some very tricky driving conditions.
We enjoyed seeing all the baby animals, with plenty to eat and drink.

Great Experience!
I had the great pleasure of spending several days in the Okavango delta and our tour guide was Knowledge. I tend to ask a lot of questions about animals and nature and I was quite pleased that Knowledge could answer all of my questions! He and the other guides took us on several walking safaris. We tracked lion prints for a pretty good distance but when we came to a river the shorter people on the tour didn’t want to try to cross. I really liked walking with nature and while I was a little nervous because it is Africa after all and there are lots of wild animals, Knowledge and his crew reassured us and kept us safe. I would welcome the opportunity to go back and spend more time with Knowledge in Africa.

It was a perfect experience.
Arrangements in Victoria Falls and Hwange NP were perfect. The thorough communication made me very comfortable with the plan, especially being a solo traveler. Transportation to and from airports was timely. My guides at each location were professional, enjoyable and knowledgeable. My accommodations were comfortable and pleasant. I couldn’t have asked for anything more! Thanks to Joseph Mayo and staff for orchestrating a wonderful experience for me.
