Fantastic Wilma (as always!)
Having booked my first trip to South Africa with Wilma, and JD Destinations, last year I thought that it would be impossible to come close to matching my previous experience.
However, once again, Wilma has raised the bar and knocked it out the park! My fiancée and I travelled to South Africa this Nov/Dec to celebrate our baby moon so wanted to see other areas of the country whilst combining our love for safari and relaxation.
Wilma spent a great deal of time curating a bespoke trip that enabled us to see a number of South Africa’s hidden gems and create even more memories. Wilma’s knowledge is unquestionable and she has first hand experience of the travel routes that she proposed. She fully understands our requirements and is able to consistently deliver a 5 star experience.
Wilma also goes out of her way to ensure that a number of special touches were arranged by our hotels/lodges to celebrate our special vacation. Our trip ran incredibly smoothly enabling us to travel the country stress free which was important to us as my partner is pregnant. Wilma was on hand every step of the way and was also personally interested in hearing about our experiences which was nice. Whilst Wilma is a true professional she is now also a great friend, and we will forever owe her for our amazing experiences. Our relationship started from a recommendation from my father and, due to the success of all of our trips, Wilma is now arranging other trips for my wider family.
If you are considering booking with Wilma and JD Destinations, my advice would be to stop deliberating and to book. The consistent 5 star reviews speak for themselves. Look forward to booking our next trip with you Wilma when 2 become 3! And hopefully see you in London some day soon! Thank you once again for everything!

William and his team are very friendly, professionnal and well orgznized
My husband and I reached the summit of Kilimanjaro thanks to this team of professionals who looked after us during our 6 days in the mountains. Thanks to their advice, motivation, care and excellent cuisine, we succeeded in our challenge for 2023.

Flexible, professionnal and very friendly
My husband and I spent an incredible week on safari! Moses and his team are very friendly and professional. They went out of their way to make sure our adventure ran smoothly, asking us every day if there was anything they could do to make our stay even better.
In short, if you're looking for a tour operator for a safari, you can book with them without hesitation.

I am so grateful for all.
We had an incredible safary with Wyatt Dynasty, we were very trilled with their hospitality, we were also lucky to see the big 5 in Serengeti. It was a dream come true, thanks to Glory and her team.

Above all expectations
Micheal and Nelson were brilliant - knowledgable, kind, helpful and a pleasure to spend time with. Friendship Adventure tailored the itinerary perfectly to us and our wishes. Communication was excellent before and during. I cannot fault a single thing, the safari experience was beyond all of our expectations. I still can’t quite comprehend the incredible array of animals we saw, including a lion and cubs eating a giraffe (Tarangire park). Additionally we have dietary requirements and they catered perfectly, and we are interested in birds and they were fantastic at spotting and identifying birds additionally to the other animals.

Very good tour operator. Professional and smiling
I was able to experience an unusual adventure (camping in a magnificent location) thanks to Everlasting African Adventure. I would recommend this tour operator. Pleasant, professional and smiling guide.

Excellent Safari Resource
We spoke to several safari travel specialists when we began planning, and ultimately booked through TLSC. Even though we were focused on Tanzania, the range of options is still overwhelming. Rose seemed to be most attuned to our objectives - a luxury safari at a fair (albeit not inexpensive) value - in comparison to other booking companies. We booked our flights to/from the US to Tanzania, and once we passed through customs and baggage claim at JRO, TLSC took care of the rest - from airport / hotel transfers and intra-country flights to our uber-comfortable and exclusive accommodations with andBeyond Serengeti, Namiri Plains, and Zawadi Hotel in Zanzibar. We got what we asked for - a seamless, serene, intimate, and well-cared for 11 nights of adventure and relaxation.

A Seamless Experience
We booked a safari trip with Discover Africa after doing research on-line. The travel agency offered the best starting and customizable itinerary for our needs, at a cost lower than other recommended tour companies we contacted. We did a zoom call with Vihann Van Wyk to review our goals, budget and preferences and with a few minor tweaks, we built our itinerary. We were a bit apprehensive as we couldn’t find reviews on Tripadvisor, which is my go-to source, but all contacts with the company allayed our concerns.
We returned last week from our adventure. Everything went smoothly and we could not have hoped for a better experience.
The trip was absolutely wonderful. The itinerary was perfect as were all of the accommodations. We hoped the game drives would be fantastic and they didn’t disappoint. We didn’t have any expectations for the other activities, which proved to be equally as memorable. The time of year might have helped, as there were not a lot of crowds in typically popular locations. Despite it being the “rainy season” we only had 3 half days of rain during the 2 week trip, so don’t let the time of year stop you.

Wonderful experience!!
The tour was well-organized and I really enjoyed a tour. I could cover all places where I wanted to go, and all activities and views are just wonderful. My guide was very professional and a perfect guide to me - he took care of me all the time and prepared everything in advance. I like Namibia more through this tour and would like to come back again!!
