Great trip!

Our whole experience arranging our tour with Explore & Travel Africa Company was outstanding. We were able to give Michelle some ideas of what we wanted to see and she took it from there. She gave us options and then based on what we decided, arranged outstanding places to stay and all our transportation. We were able to just arrive in Cape Town and enjoy ourselves without the worry of taking care of those details. Every place we stayed was amazing. We spent 3 days seeing some of Cape Town and had a great time. Our hotel was in an area filled with restaurants, and a quick Uber to the sites and places we wanted to walk. We had to miss our trip to Robben Island because of weather and Michelle jumped in and helped us with that. We loved the trip out to Cape Point and the cable car to the top of Table Mountain. I know they are both "tourist" sites, but we thought they were worth it. Then we headed to Sabi Sands, took a day to check out part of the Panorama Route and ended at Timbavati
Read more Private Nature Reserve. The highlight of the trip was staying in places that have many wild animals that we could see as soon as we drove into the camps. On our safari drives we were able to see all the animals we wanted to see and learned so much about other animals we encountered. This was a fabulous experience and I recommend it to any traveler who loves animals and nature.

Incredible experience in the heart of wildlife

My girlfriend and I were amazed during our outings in the reserves. Magnificent encounters whether by vehicle or on foot. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five and much more. I highly recommend taking a 3-hour walking tour; it's another experience to be had. Moafrika gave us good advice before the trip. And even though we did the safari with Viva Safaris, it was great. The places where we slept were very well equipped, especially the second camp. Going in March is a good idea to avoid the busy summer periods and, above all, it allows you to see baby elephants, zebras, hyenas, etc. The guides are really great at showing us as many animals as possible and giving us explanations.

We spent 5 lovely days in Kruger and saw almost all of the big 5 only failing to see rhinos. We got up amazingly close to wild animals and our safari was a total joy to my wife and I. Victoria Falls was a bucket list item for my wife and I and it totally lived up to its fame, what an awesome sight and sound it is. Finished off with some days in Cape Town and could have gladly spent an extra week in that beautiful city. We will definitely return.

A lovely holiday in the North East of the country. A few days safari where we saw the big 5 amongst other animals and birds. We also had a days drive around the scenic areas with lots of lovely views and tales of the history.
Great staff at the hotels we were in, helpful with travel, tourist information and dietary requirements.

Far beyond our expectations

5 / 5 5 /5

Our first Safari and it was breathtakingly good, so far beyond our expectations. The guide and tracker were amazing and we got so close to the animals, particularly the big 5 which we encountered on numerous times, as the guide was allowed to go of the tracks and into the bush to view. We saw very young, lion cubs, elephant twins, rhino and Hyena pups. I was slightly concerned about going in April knowing the bush would thick after the rains but it did not matter and a bit as the guide and tracker new where to look. We even experienced a water buffalo stampede (albeit we only heard it as it was dark) as two male lions tried unsuccessfully for a kill. We're not birders but saw so many different birds I'm still trying to remember the names and identify them. Five different eagles, three owls and all the other smaller birds. Well done Discover Africa

sunshine wildlife and wine - all I need

South Africa is a great destination. It has sunshine, excellent wine and good wild life. At present it is also very good value for money. I was just a little disappointed at how long it took Inverdoorn to tell me my pick-up time from my hotel. It cost me half a day waiting for this information.
