Gorgeous !!
It's now the 2nd time I booked a safari with Planet Africa Safaris. First time was a 10day Safari and 1 week on Zansibar, Pongwe Beach Hotel. We are just back from our 2nd safari an all I can say is: The Organisation is perfect. Correspondance by e-mail always very good. Excellent planning and recommandation of the lodges...just tell them what is your idea and at least in 48 hours you'll get a made to order itinerary. Prices are always very reasonable. What we liked is that nearly everything is possible, nothing seems to be a problem. The tour guides (we had Jackson Mbise, Harry Lucas, Venant and Kivuyo) are excellent. If you plan a private safari, it's also possible to go with Planet Africa Safaris.
One of our best travel experiences.

An experience made epic!
Benjamin was our guide for 2 nights in the Camdeboo National Park. He met us punctually on location with clear directions and a very warm welcome. We had an awesome trip with great game viewing and wonderful recommendations of places to visit within the reserve. Benjamin was enthusiastic, patient, knowledgeable and extremely accommodating. We had a puncture and it rained while we were camping, but nothing phased Benjamin, or was too much trouble. He was calm, helpful and considerate at all times. We had fantastic tents, comfy stretches, bedding, towels, everything we needed. Benjamin has endless energy but goes about his tasks in a relaxed but diligent manner. We had interesting chats, tasty food and enjoyed his great company. Highly recommend a trip with him...

One of a kind adventure that I won't forget
Our driver, James was absolutely amazing, he drove carefully, but as fast as possible, so we arrived early to the Masai Mara and went on a game drive right after arrival. The 3-day safari was even better than I expected - we saw sooo many animals, it was astonishing! James cared so much so we could see every animal from as close as possible, I couldn't imagine a better driver and a better adventure than this. I highly recommend it! Also the contact with Magdalene was very good and professional, everything was as she promised and me and my boyfriend are both really exited about the adventure that we lived. Best time of my life!

Magical Beauty
I have been to Africa a few times BUT this time was very special, due mainly to the wonderful people of Shikwaru Adventures. They organized for me and my 8 year old a magnificent experience. South Africa is in itself a beautiful country. Shikwaru went the extra mile to make it even more beautiful, more enjoyable, more unforgettable: their professionalism and friendliness, their punctuality and extremely skilled drivers, the places they took us to, all organized to perfection. It was just magical! My daughter and I left with our hearts filled with joy and beauty, new friends, and the certainty that we will book with Shikwaru again sometime in the near future.

A great adventure
We went on safari in 2017. It was an amazing experience. Not only did we see the top five animals we watched the wildebeest migration. We watched lions eat zebras and wildebeests 15 feet from our vehicle.
The entire trip was professionally handled both for sleeping accommodations and when "on the road." I heartily recommend it.

Great and well organized safari trip!
Me and my wife did the 5-day safari with 3 wonders expeditions and we were pleasently surprised how well everything was organised. The food and the accommodation was better level than we expected and the staff was friendly and helpful. The guide knew and spotted the animals very well.

Great experience with knowledgeable guide
Wonderful experience to see so much with an experienced guide (Sylvester) who was also an experienced photographer so ensures you get the best shots possible to remember your amazing safari.
Sokofo (our chef) catered to everyone’s needs with 3 vegetarians and a carnivore on board.
We were immediately shipped out to the first campsite rather than the hotel stay we had planned (by Richard) but it suited us although others may not appreciate the change of plans. However, were able to do all we needed before setting off i.e. change money and eat. Richards son, Rickson, facilitated this with a smile and was great at the start and end of our time with them.
A truly memorable experience.

I have been to Africa eight times before this trip and this was the best experience I have ever had.
Communication was perfect. Every expectation was met. All personnel were professional and very concerned about taking care of us. I do not have a single complaint. On this trip to to the Serengeti we saw a lion kill, cheetah kill, over 50 lions, leopards and much much more. I can't think of a better experience.

Excellent Company!
Mushra organized our safari to see the mountain gorillas. Michael was excellent and quick with correspondence, and Patrick our driver was enthusiastic and passionate about Uganda. Excellent safari- we felt looked after and safe in their hands. Would recommend!
