Honey Moon helpers
Nikki and her team were so hopeful in doing some great research and booking of a great honeymoon for us. Nikki was extremely proactive and always accessible to answer any questions we had. The destination was absolutely perfect and exactly as advertised. I would definitely recommend Southern Africa to other travellers.

All wishes fulfilled
Under Kenyan proprietorship, this outfit seems to have contacts everywhere. We had a triple centred safari and from the beginning Ms Zippy Mugweru tailored the itinerary to our wishes, no matter how great the distances involved.
We bought a private safari, with driver/guide and felt absolutely secure whether travelling on major trunk routes or on pitted trails within the reserves. Spotting potholes or leopard or lilac breasted roller with equal aplomb, our driver was simply brilliant.
This company represented real value for money and also offers payment facilities in pounds sterling, US dollars or euros, which allowed significant savings on currency exchange commission.

A fantastic experience!
We had a brilliant time on our first safari going round Samburu, Mount Kenya, Nakuru and Massai Mara. Our driver was amazing and left us in awe of his animal-spotting skills. We had absolutely no problems during our safari - all seemed perfectly well organised. I would thoroughly recommend Australken to anyone wishing to book a safari :-)

Meet & great service was great & pre arrival I had all the information I need for my Safari.
I headed to the coast - the amazing Diana beach. I had an excellent safari to the north west in Edoret for the home of champions then on to Nakuru. super service.

Self driving in South Africa and National Parks was never so easy
Tailor Made Safari prepared a fabulous trip for us where every single detail was carefully thought. The travel pack, the 'glamping' hotels, the choice of small National parks instead of big and crowdful Parks were absolutely perfect. Personal contact during the trip to check if everything is ok, I never saw this before! We had a marvellous experience!

Fantastic, excellent customer service. Organized exactly the trip we wanted!!
My wife and I wanted a very specific safari experience plus we left it late to book! Kathu Simon from African Welcome Safaris worked tirelessly to arrange our trip including all flights, transfers and accomadation. We had 3 wonderful days in Sabi Sand at the Simbambili Game Lodge which was excellent, great lodgings, excellent food, superb staff and the wildlife experience was awesome.
Overall Africa Welcome Safaris was Excellent

After trawling through Trip Advisor I found Mmilo Tours As it seems I found a Gem
After trawling through the recommendations on Trip Advisor I found Mmilo Tours
As it seems I found a diamond or gold nugget.. We had only 3 days to see some of the culture , history and wildlife of the area so Patrick set about arranging a tour for us.
It started as we arrived at the airport, he personally picked us up and took us to our hotel via a drive past Nelson Mandella's home and checked us in over a coffee. We were then whisked away to our first experience Lesedi. Here we would learn and experience all of the tribes of South Africa and their cultures, customs and dress in one place. A three hour experience that took us round all their villages, their history and dances.
The next morning at eight am we were picked up by an associate of Patrick's Willam who as it turned out was an expert guide whose knowledge of wild life saw no bounds. he drove us to Pilanesberg a Safari Park where we would stay overnight. We were checked into the lodge in the park and set of looking for animals in his comfortable four by four. The first hour or so moved slowly, we saw Antelope Gazelle Warthogs Zebra and Birds then bang life kicked into gear and we started to see what we came for Giraffes and big game. We lunched at the lodge then went spotting again. Willam found a pack of Lions who had made a kill and we sat watching them. All of a sudden out of the bush came the male strolling down the road past us like a king. We moved on to another area that Willam said he found a lot of activity suddenly we were confronted by a massive bull Elephant then a second chasing the first . Willam said they had been fighting each other for days. This guy stood across the road only some ten feet in front of us. We moved on seeing Both types of Rhino , a Secretary bird and Hippos, there was even a Crocodile and Turtle in the watering hole. We saw everything however there was always something that we would miss. Where were the Cheetah? nowhere to be found.
The next day was planned to be a visit to the Cradle of Humankind taking us back to the time when man was first discovered in Africa.
In the morning we set off at five thirty am with the lodge guide for four hours. We were expecting spectacular however it would appear that Willam had shown us all the spectacular there was . We arrived back at the lodge , had breakfast , as we finished Willam arrived. I mentioned the Cheetah, he retorted you want to see them? so we made another unscheduled trip into the reserve. There they were hiding in the bushes, this guy seemed so well informed , what a guide.
On our final visit to the Cradle of Humankind we were passed on to the guide who showed us around the caves where some of the earliest remains of humans were found. An interesting and short insight into our ancestors well worth seeing
In my opinion I think we stumbled on a tour operator and his associates who had an abundance of knowledge in their product, Willam has also sent us a compendium of photographs that he took which I can only say I will treasure .
If you are in their area of the world use them to show you the places worth seeing
