EVERYTHING WAS TRULY PERFECT
I couldn't have asked for a better experience: EVERYTHING was so well taken care of.

Diane put together the perfect itinerary for what we were lookin for.
My wife and I wanted to visit South Africa and knew it had plenty of different hot spots to visit, however we weren’t sure what locations to chose or what hotel accommodations to stay at. After reaching out to Diane at Safari Bookings, she set up a phone call with us and asked us everything we’d like to do while in country. A few days later, she had set up the perfect itinerary for what we were looking for. It included everything from in-country flights to hotel reservations, as well as scheduled transportation.
We just returned from our trip and we couldn’t have been happier with how everything went. Everything that Diane set up for us was spot on for what we were looking at. Could not recommend enough!

good quality price
all very correct. Mika very helpful, he helped us with a lost suitcase.
Martin the driver the best we could have. Fast, efficient and polite
The worst is the hotel where they book us up the first day (Embassy) and some of the meals, but that no longer depends on them

Amazing safari and wildlife experience with fantastic scenery
We booked with Safari Bookings to stay at the Motswari Game Lodge in Timbavati Private Game Reserve. Every aspect of the trip was just brilliant. Safari Bookings took care of the flights from Jo'Burg to Hoedspruit, transfers and stay at Motswari. Our safari experience started as soon as entered the access road into Timbavati with giraffe and a large herd of elephants crossing the road. this was just the appetizer before our main safari event. We booked 4 nights with 8 game drives and all-inclusive accommodation. The staff and hospitality were top tier. the camp is open to the bush, so on our first day we were delayed getting to our beautiful lodge by a couple of elephants who had wandered in. Our first game drive took us to a leopard who had just made a kill so was up in tree guarding it with a couple of hyenas sniffing around at the base. Our guide and tracker were brilliant, and worked really hard to track down some wildlife including a mother and baby rhino, painted wolf pack and a group of lions who had crossed over from Kruger. We never thought in a million years we would see so much and have the wildlife approach us so closely. Fantastic. After our safari, we privately booked a trip to Cape Town. Brilliant scenery, African penguins, ostriches, Cape of Good Hope, Table mountain (very cloudy though) and defeinitely worth the trip. To finish our holiday we booked to go to Victoria Falls (Zambia) which truly deserves its billing as one of the 7 Natural wonders of the World. We booked a walking safari in the Mosi-Oa-Tunya national park which was absolutely brilliant. Coming across a herd of rhino on foot is a very different experience than in a vehicle and very exciting. So many memories of a brilliant holiday - one tip - get a good camera!

Amazing experience!
The tour was amazing and a real enjoyable experience. We stayed at the Kruger Gate Hotel which was great with beautiful sunsets overlooking Kruger.
Kruger National Park was exhilarating - we did a sunset game drive and an all day game drive, managing to see the BIG 5 and many more of South Africa's incredible wildlife!
Having a private transfer from Johannesburg with the extra stop offs to God’s window and Blyde River Canyon were an added bonus to our trip.
Our guide Norman, was with us the entire way. He was a great guide with lots of knowledge, personable and extremely friendly.
I would definitely recommend Nhlalala travel to anyone considering Safari in Kruger.

Excellent safari experience with amazing migration
We took Safari through Image Travel; member of Safari Bookings and we were very happy with its services and reliability. Keny is a nice country to visit, and Safari is the most important attractions of all in Kenya. We saw all types of animals and birds from close proximity and was very amazing experience. Everyone should considerer this in his/her list of most important vacation sites to visit.

Review about Timbavati Private Nature Reserve by Dominic
Winter safari, so the bush is dry and water levels are low. The bush is not beautiful but the animals and the setting is brilliant. Being a private game reserve means fewer vehicles who can go off track so you get a better safari experience. We saw pretty much everything on our wish list and so much more besides, combined with a brilliant guide and tracker in fantastic bush accommodation

Great repeat experience with E-Trip Africa
Our trip to the northern Serengeti in Tanzania and to the Masai Mara in Kenya was our third African trip arranged by E-Trip. As in our past experiences everything worked out perfectly from the time we started planning last year right up until we completed our trip. We were met at each airport and smoothly assisted, all flights and lodges were booked without any issues. Ben and his colleagues do a great job and we will certainly book our next East Africa trip with E-Trip.

Everyone was super helpful and friendly. When something was needed, they were on the phone immediate
We did the safari tours: Tarangire National Park with ranger James, Serengeti National Park and finally the Ngorongoro Crater with ranger Damian. The rangers were both super funny and always brought the groups together well. They also both had a lot of experience in the park and always showed us the best spots with the animals. We found the price-performance ratio very good! Even though the price sounds a lot, it is definitely worth it for the work the people do and the many trips to the parks!
We booked the simplest tour in tents and were completely satisfied. But we were glad to have another blanket with us, as it gets very cold at night at Ngorongoro Crater. As a woman, you should definitely have a hairdryer with you. The food was always fresh, very tasty and plentiful. Once again a big thank you to our super cook James!
We were picked up from Kilimanjaro airport and driven to Arusha to the hotel where the safari started the next morning. It was a humble start as we were forgotten to be picked up at the airport, but we called the hotline where someone immediately attended to us and 30 minutes later we had a taxi to take us to Arusha. They apologised many times and we always had the feeling that they quickly looked for the best possible solution.
We would do it again at any time!
With many greetings from Germany
