Excellent holiday
The operator of Shinzelle Danielle suggested that we change our original plan to spend all our time in Skukuza camp, and it was obvious that she knew well what we might like. This change provided a more diverse countryside and wildlife experience.
However, as Mark mentioned sometime close to the beginning of our holiday, our conversations with Danielle were not as smooth as before, occasionally making us uncomfortable. It was apparent that she had a primary job of communicating with customers herself. The main surprise was that we started in Pretoriuskop Rest Camp instead of Skukuza Camp. It turned out to be a perfect choice, perhaps even better, as it was closer to the airport and very comfortable. Nevertheless, we believe we should have been informed of this change beforehand.
During our 4-night stay in Kruger National Park, we switched between two camps with clean and comfortable accommodations. We spent two nights in Pretoriuskop Rest Camp in the south and two nights in Letaba Rest Camp in the north. Both were good, but we particularly loved the latter because it was situated on the bank of a river, allowing us to see a variety of animals wandering around the water.
For the last three days, we enjoyed private luxury accommodations and an excellent day trip to Blyde River Canyon. This package included three private safaris, which were very enjoyable. We saw a lot of animals, except for the elusive leopard.
Our guide, Rufus, accompanied us for five days from morning to evening, filling that time with his deep knowledge of wildlife and nature. He was always happy, smiling, patient and willing to answer any questions we had.
Would we choose Shinzelle again? Absolutely. Everything worked smoothly, and we loved every minute of our trip, including the food, accommodations, people, countryside, and wildlife. The entire 7-day experience was exceptionally well-organized, starting with our pickup from Nelspruit Airport and concluding in Hoedspruit.

Great experience
We had a great experience with Paul and Pofu! Paul was very attentive with us and help us with everything we need.
We did a 3-day safari with Noel which is the best guide!
I highly recommend doing the safari with them.

Safari Tarangire/Ngorongoro
+ good value for money
+ nice safari-ranger, explained a lot, friendly, tried to find as many animals as possible
+ lodge, delicious dinner and breakfast
- in the program was written: breakfast first day and visiting Massai tribe. There was no breakfast at the first day and we need to pay extra to visit the tribe (but only 10$)
In total a good trip!

Amazing
For our first safari we relied on Godlisten and his team. Colours Africa Tours was perfect in everything both in fulfilling our requests before the safari and especially for the whole safari. Benjamin was an excellent and knowledgeable guide who accompanied us for 4 days on the game drive. The moments and emotions we experienced were unique and indescribable. The accommodation was perfect and in line with our expectations. Chef mjomba Sulè :-) unique prepared excellent and really good lunches and dinners for us. The search for our safari was difficult but now I can really be proud and happy that we chose Colours Africa Tours. I recommend everyone to trust them and you will not be disappointed.

Excellent service, good value for tour
Communication was responsive and excellent before, and during trip. Everything was exactly as described. Great value for your money. Charity, the coordinator, Richard, the owner both were kind and helpful. Patrick, the guide in Kenya was one of the best I’ve ever had. Kenya portion of the trip was excellent and Tanzania portion was good. Highly recommend.

Very flexible and personally engaged organisation with a lot of local know-how
African Travels is a small organisation that is very personal and engaged. With a lot of local knowledge. We were traveling with 6 persons. Last minute change in people was managed quickly. Communication was easy and frequent trough mail and WhatsApp almost 24/7. Even during the travel, they know where you are and ask if everything is still okay. The value for money is clearly at at high level. A.T. was very flexible in changes to the trip. Also from their side they advised changes, so we could visit the best lodges. Highly recommend African Travels.

He is charming
Dancing Simba Safaris truly made our Serengeti adventure unforgettable. Our guide was the heart and soul of the experience, an expert with an unbridled passion for the wilderness. Their ability to spot wildlife from afar was remarkable, ensuring we didn't miss any of the incredible creatures that call the Serengeti home. Whether it was the majestic Big Five or the smallest of creatures, our guide's knowledge and enthusiasm brought each encounter to life, making it not just a safari but an educational journey through the wild.

memorable Safari
It was amazing for my family to do a safari with Connect Africa. Sheryl was attentive to our request and organized the safari based on our requirements.
We had an experienced driver and guide for the safari and were lucky to see several animals (more than 20 lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos and others). We had the privilege to see lions hunt. The hotel (Bastian) was perfect, with delicious food.
Thanks a lot to Sheryl and the team for this gift to my daughter, who has seen her favourite animal (Lion).
Sheryl connected us with Juma, a guide in Zanzibar, another professional who organized a perfect tour for us.
We come home with memorable souvenirs, and I will recommend Connect Safari and Juma to others without hesitation.
Sheryl, continue to do what you do- make people's dreams come true.
