What an amazing 5 star 'bucket list' experience.
Firstly can we thanks Vanessa for organizing such an amazing trip and for making sure the hotels and game parks were able to cater for my unusual way of eating (as i require all my food to be puree as i'm on a PEG). Firstly the hotel in Cape Town at the base of Table Mountain was first rate as was the room upgrade! Great location, friendly staff and wonderful food, big bonus was the free shuttle bus with-in 8kls to ferry us around and even pick us up. Next was the internal flights up to Joburg and the private transfers to and from the Waterburg Biosphere where our 2 lodges were located. First was the 'Clifftop exclusive safari hideaway' and though one of the older lodges was so warm and welcoming, the 5 large private suites spread along the cliff with large terraces, private plunge pool and furnished bale for shade. The food was just mouthwatering (so my wife told me) and excellent selection. This lodge was all inclusive and free flow of wine, beer and selected spirits which made a lot of difference at the end of the day. Our game park guide was incredible and we spend 3-4 hours starting at 5.30am and again at 4pm let us cover large areas of the park and see the BIG 5. We then moved to Makweti safari lodge, this was also a 5 star lodge with good food though drinks were not included. The 5 lodges were smaller but the main building was filled with amazing Africa antiques and a HUGE wine cellar! We were so impress with how close the animals came up to the lodge and again the amazing staff. A big thankyou to all.

Excellent Experience
Every aspect of our experience with Bateleur Eagle Safaris was flawless. Initially, we selected a small number of companies when we started to think of going on Safari, it quickly became evident that Bateleur Eagle Safaris was by far the most flexible and had the best communication. They put together a number of options very quickly which allowed us to choose exactly what we wanted within our budget. The booking and payment went smoothly. The safari itself was excellent, the camps were as promised and our guide, Antony, was truly an expert in his field. His ability to spot and recognize animals was second to none and truly amazing. In addition, he ensured we were always comfortable and had everything we needed.
Overall, our experience was amazing due to the people at Bateleur Eagle Safaris, and I recommend them highly.

Excellent value and service
Luitours was quick with a quote for our day trip and quick to respond to any questions we had. There quote price was considerably cheaper than the other 2 offers we received. This made us a little worried about the quality and service we would receive, but decided to try the company since it was only a day. However, we had no problems, the guide and driver arrived promptly on our scheduled day. They were also very good about giving us options along the way and sharing their recommendations which is especially appreciated when traveling with a child! A an added bonus we got to see a group of 4 lions, which our guide said was the first time he had seen them in the park.

Amazing! What an incredible experience
From our first thoughts about booking to go to Kenya and all the questions that go along with it to a phone call from Daniel on our way to the airport to travel home it was clear he was knowledgeable, caring and eager to get it right for us.
Peter our driver couldn't do enough for us going out of his way to make sure we had the best experiences. He seemed so genuinely happy for us whenever we saw something special. Don't know how he did it but he even managed to get Kilimanjaro to reveal itself when we woke up on our first morning after it was completely covered when we arrived!
The accommodation was excellent with a mixture of tents and rooms. Sitting having a birthday dinner looking over the hotel waterhole watching 13 elephants along with an array of other animals was something special. Food was very good and especially so at our final stop Basecamp.
Overall an amazing experience and we would not hesitate to recommend Transtrek to anyone.
Thank you

Gourmet camping safari in Kalahari
My boyfriend and I have had the best safari ever! 8 days in the Kalahari desert camping in Khutse and Kgalagadi national parks in Botswana.
So authentic, so adventurous, so out of the ordinary. Just us and the animals, stunning landscapes, amazing colors and the best company. We learned so much about the wildlife, about life in the desert, about the San tribe people. And we’ve had so many good laughs. Omg. Did I mention the food? In the middle of the bush but Bumhi safaris cook gourmet dishes on the fire served with matching wines. Cold gin tonics and snacks by the waterholes at sunsets. What can I say? Just go! This will be miles above your expectations.

Excellent
We joined the Africa Joy Tours for the Tanzania Safari 8 days trip in April 2019. We are so lucky to have Daniel as our driver guide that we saw the BIG FIVES and lots of other wildlife even in low season. He is friendly, cheerful, , dedicated, knowledgeable and most important he loves his job. With his sharp eyes he always find where the animals are and even all those beautiful birds. With his great knowledge of the wildlife, birds and everything in Tanzania, we have more understanding of this country. He gave us lots of time to take photos and watch the wildlife in leisure. We highly recommend Africa Joy tour and Daniel as excellent driver guide.

Superb organization, no fuss
From day one when I first contacted Darren I couldn't have asked for better service. All queries were answered quickly, all bookings made with ease. The safari booked was superb staying at Batonka Lodge in Vic Falls and Garden Lodge in Chobe. Both lodges were first rate for comfort, service, food and location. The falls were magnificent and the game drives excellent. I cannot find fault with any aspect of the trip. Top notch.
