The Best !
We had a wonderful stay with the Kimgoni agency.
Everything is flexible according to your wishes. Listening so that your stay suits you.
There is what you have planned with them in advance, according to your wishes, and there are the readjustments on site.
We were lucky to have the best duo!
Guide Ayubu and cook Julias, they are both great, attentive, passionate, patient, professional, natural...
Our trip was perfect and full of lots of things.
A big thank you to the Kimgoni team!
We recommend with your eyes closed

Excellent value tour with great guide
We just finished a great five day tour with our guide Edward. It was excellent value for money, we saw some wonderful scenery and animals, and the organisation from the company and guide was good throughout. Edward was knowledgeable, happy to answer questions, and keen to ensure that we had a good time. Would recommend.

Great service
The game drive was booked as a last minute thing for a friend and his family and friends the team at safari bookings were very professional and very efficient in organising the game drive for 24 of us . I'd recommend booking any excursions in kenya with safari booking . 5 star

Beautiful country with so much to offer tourists
On our second visit to South Africa we stayed a week in Franschhoek in the Winelands area. This is a lovely large village with many excellent restaurants, a fabulous Saturday market with lots of craft and local food stalls, and of course many local wineries to visit. We absolutely loved our time there and felt very safe walking to and from restaurants in the evening. We then moved on to Hermanus on the coast to do some whalewatching. This is a much larger town but again with many good restaurants and safe walking at night. it was coming to the end of the whale season but we saw several, firstly on a trip with Southern Right Charters who we would recommend, and then from the clifftop walks which are very accessible.
The food in restaurants is really good and extremely reasonable, aided by the favourable GBP/Rand exchange rate.
From Cape Town we then flew up to the Timbavati Game Reserve for a 4 night safari arranged by Indigo Safaris, who we would also recommend for their organisation of our trip. Timbavati is at the edge of the Kruger and is home to the Big5 all of which we saw. Have only given the Wildlife 4 stars though as animals were rather scarce we felt, but as I have said, we did see all the Big 5 and a lot of other animals too as well as some beautiful birds (though we are not birders). Everywhere was very dry while we were there, but they had had a few days of heavy rain just before we arrived and the rainy season was about to start when apparently the rivers would be full, whereas we were driven along the sandy river beds!
Everywhere we went in SA we were impressed by the smiles on the faces of all the local people, who were very friendly and welcoming.
We can't wait to return, in hopefully two years time.

An adventure everyone should do!
South Africa was more than we had expected, absolutely beautiful! This was a bucket list trip and South Africa did not disappoint us.
Umkumbe Lodge was very nice and the people who work there were very nice and accommodating. The safari tour guides were extremely knowledgeable which made the trip even better.

Review about Timbavati Private Nature Reserve by Mary
The River Lodge which we stayed in was very good, but overall we were surprised that there weren't more animals in the Reserve, yet we did see all the Big 5. At the Lodge, we had elephants walking by our tented suite and one even drank from our plunge pool. Also had hyenas and monkeys close by.

I have been on safaris before. This one was reconstituted,since poachers had pretty much destroyed this entire area of animals. It is nice for the government to repopulate the area but honestly it is a big waste of time Very few animals that you will see compared to other safaris. Very disappointing the country however is pretty. Accommodations terrible. The food a disaster honestly go to Disney in Orlando snd take the safari tour. A bus. In 20 minutes you see all the animals plus stay at their hotel the giraffes are right outside your window. This is a poor man’s safari with mainly bugs as the wildlife

He was helpful and made our travel smooth and as relaxing as possible
We had the best safari ever imaginable and it was due to this tour company. From the day we decided to go ahead they were very understanding as we worked through our plans. Our contact Joel was very, very helpful and understanding. Once we landed in Kilimanjaro we were greeted by a company representative to take to our 1st lodge and gave a tour schedule. Our guide for the next 6 days, Edga, was fantastic and very knowledgeable and a keen eye for spotting animals. Our whole ten days ran like clock work, we highly recommend using this company if your looking for the Serengeti/Zanzibar experience.
