Rob, we certainly could not have put together an itinerary like you did it was excellent and certainly hit the spot! We enjoyed all the accommodation. Glen Avon was superbly situated, the hosts and staff were very welcoming, it was a good location, food was superb. Auberge Clermont in Franschhoek was very pretty. Lavender Manor in Hermanus was a good location and the breakfast was very good, but they were everywhere. Dwyka was amazing, such an experience, loved it. Many thanks.

Hi Rob, we had a thoroughly wonderful holiday and have fond memories of our whole trip. Motse Lodge in Tswalu was amazing. It was far better than our expectations and our guide and tracker were incredible. So informative and just like walking encyclopaedias! We loved every moment even though we came away exhausted as we wanted to go out on game drives whenever possible. Our next stop Cape Town and The Cape Grace. The hotel is beautiful and the position perfect for us by the waterfront. In Franschhoek at La Residence, our world changed!! We thought we had arrived in heaven. What a beautiful place, full of taste and style and crammed full of vintage furniture and amazing china. We loved everything about it and stayed for supper both nights. The staff were amazing and made us feel very comfortable and welcomed us into their beautiful home. We can’t thank you enough for organising such an amazing sample of what South Africa has to offer. We will certainly be back. Many thanks for everything.

Dear Rob, overall, it was wonderful – and your organisation was brilliant. We were met at every stage on time and there were no hassles. Nuarro Lodge was very comfortable and our hosts did everything they could to make us welcome and our stay enjoyable. Nthambo camp was fantastic. Our guides Matt and Isaac deserve a special mention because they were outstanding. Matt really took time to share his passion and knowledge about the animals and the bush and it made every trip out of camp and enjoyable adventure. Isaac had 30 years’ experience and was super cool. We really enjoyed the guided walks as well as the game drives, as we were as interested in the small stuff as much as the Big 5. We absolutely loved Waterberry Lodge in Zambia. You really pulled something special out of the bag on this one! Nathan and Gordon, the guides, and every single other member of staff, were so attentive and delightful. The lodge itself was super comfortable and we really, really wanted to stay longer there. Every place we stayed, the food was remarkable, especially given the limitations of getting fresh supplies and the facilities available. I’ve never eaten so much on holiday! So, all in all, a very special trip and your organisation was superb.

Hi Michele, Fantastic wild dog sightings, glimpse of a sitatunga, kingfisher bashing a frog against the branch of a tree, 3 leopard sightings, lions every day. It was a great holiday and all your arrangements went very smoothly, a big thank you! Your arrangements are so great – even down to the selection of seats on the plane – they were perfect!

Dear Michele, we have just returned from the best family holiday ever. I just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU for all you did to make this special trip truly memorable. From my initial email enquiry last February to the immediate response and interest you showed, the whole way through the planning of the itinerary, you were first class. You appreciated the budget we had and the quality of the accommodation we wanted catering perfectly for my family. Your time patience and advice was greatly appreciated and your service exemplary. Even when we made some slight changes to our plans or asked questions this was never a problem and sorted. I am so appreciative of all you did to make this a truly special holiday (and have already praised and highly recommended you and Safari Consultants to family and friends!). Thank you so much.

Hi Michele, just thought I would say thank you for organising such an amazing trip. We have had a fantastic time and your choice of camps, transfer operators and support services was excellent. All the arrangements went to plan and everyone was ready, on time and prepared for our arrivals and transfers. I think you made an excellent selection of different camps with very diverse habitats and wildlife at each, the contrasts between all were significant and greatly enhanced the experience we had. In particular I think that the Offbeat Mara Camp is currently being very well run. Their flexibility, attention to detail and willingness to help in all situations was very commendable. Overall this has been a truly outstanding adventure and I would like to say that you and your team created the perfect trip for our requirements. I think that you are without doubt the very best Travel Operator I have worked with and that you really have gone the extra mile in making our trip such a success, your attention to detail and information all helped add greatly to the experience.

Dear Rob, no two trips to Botswana are ever the same but as usual we had many remarkable experiences covering birds, animals, reptiles and insects. All the arrangements went like clockwork. Letaka did us proud as usual. We were welcomed with much enthusiasm, especially by the cook Musa, whom we had been with several times before, and of course Disho. The whole mobile safari experience was as enjoyable as ever, the boys were most attentive and looked after us very thoughtfully. The food was excellent, varied and plentiful. Disho’s enthusiastic guiding brought us many interesting sightings, most of the time with no other humans in sight. We enjoyed our stay at Kalahari Plains very much and hope to return one day. Grant was really in excellent form as usual and we had a great time bird watching with him. Several birds were new to us and we were pleased to demonstrate that we could still name some of the larks he had taught us to identify on our previous spell in the Kalahari. We thoroughly enjoyed our fifth safari in Botswana, everything went smoothly and we have great memories of the people we met, the wildlife encounters and behaviour. Thank you very much for all you did to make it such a success. We look forward to the sixth!

Hi Rob, thanks for organizing a great trip. Selinda Camp was amazing! Food was probably the best we have had from all the camps we stayed and the guides are good. Victoria Falls was spectacular. Thanks again!
