Why you should book with us. We offer guided safaris and tours for small groups and families, often for as few as only two guests.This means guests get a special, private and intimate safari; 2. We focus on personal attention to detail (promising AND providing just that). We are able to stay in one place, viewing for longer - we are flexible which sets us apart from other companies that must stick to time frames and itineraries. Most of our tours are owner run and operated, giving you the peace of mind that what you pay for is what you get and more. Service, Safety and value for money are our priority.
What to bring. It is advisable to bring light bush coloured clothing for during the day but always have something warm available for the evenings, especially in our winters (June to September). A light jacket and long pants for the evenings are however recommended, more so for protection against mosquito bites than insulation. During the summer months the area can experience thunderstorms so a raincoat is advised. Swimming costumes are a must, especially during our summer months. A good sun hat (wide brim recommended), is a definite must. A high factor sunscreen/ sunblock is advised for all times of the year. Other important items to bring along are your sunglasses, comfortable walking shoes, insect repellent (most establishments provide repellents) and all personal toiletries. Comfortable walking shoes are also handy.
Binoculars, cameras and video equipment is always good to have, however most establishments carry binoculars on their game vehicles and we carry a good pair in our vehicle, so don't stress if you don't have a pair of your own. Make sure you have all the necessary chargers/batteries and lots of film as some locations do not have well equipped shops, should you forget! A good flash light is also a good piece of equipment to have.
Malaria The Kruger area is a malaria area so it is advisable to take the necessary precautions, however, it is usually cheaper to buy them once in the country, if you have a day to spare in a town/city where there is a good chemist - they are much cheaper here in South Africa.

Michelle provided us with exemplary service. I would highly recommend her company to everyone considering traveling to Africa. She planned our trip perfectly and as each day passed and we moved on to a new lodge, the experience just got better and better.
We booked our holiday last minute and she was able to get us in to all the best places, arrange our air travel and was awaiting us at the airport. She was always early to pick us up and ensured we were always safe and secure.
We have nothing but positive memories on what was the journey of a lifetime! Do not hesitate to book with them, you will not be disappointed.
My holiday was excellent, did so much in such a relatively short time!
The Itinerary, accomodation and car hire Michele arranged was ideal for me. Her communication and assistance before and during my holiday was informative, prompt and friendly. Would definitely use her services again.
South Africa,f or many reasons, has captivated me and i will be back!

Our trip was everything that we had hoped for. We had booked the trip planning to experience the sardine run, however it was suggested by the operator that we also add on a land safari in case we missed the sardines, as obviously you cannot guarantee the movements of fish!
As a result, we saw both the sardines together with all their accompanying dolphins, whales, sharks, birds and also had an excellent safari seeing all the large game animals and we were thrilled with the services provided.
They could not do enough for us, they drove us everywhere including dropping us off for dinner and picking us up afterwards.
We will be recommending the company to any of our friends who are interested in travelling to South Africa.

We recently booked an Elephant Back Safari .
We would like to advise that we received outstanding service from the operator who paid meticulous attention to detail including our complicated dietary requirements. This ensured that our holiday ran without incident and was definitely a trip of a lifetime.
The itinerary was tailored to our specific interests which ensured that all the activities that we were interested in were covered.
Particular highlights included the hot air ballooning and elephant back safari.
Kind Regards Sue-Ann Ind

Thanks to the operator for taking care to organize a great itinerary over 10 days for our 1st visit to South Africa.
Where else in the world could one experience in one day all within a matter of a few hours being close-by the largest sea mammal, the largest land mammal, the tallest land mammal and then the fastest land mammal. Humpback whales leaping completely out of the water, bull elephants, giraffe and then cheetah all on one day!!
The standard of accommodation service and food at Sodwana Bay Lodge, Phinda and Le Mays B+B for our trips out to Aliwai Shoal was excellent.
We have been fortunate enough to travel the world, both on business and holiday. Our recent trip to South Africa stacks up overall as the best we have experienced, anywhere! That includes Argentina, Australia, Canada, the Caribbean, Europe, Hawaii, Japan, Malaysia, and a host of other wonderful places, so this is high praise indeed. We are still dazzled by South Africa's people and its hopes for the future, its amazing land and sea scapes, the animals (!), the plants, the food, and my wife tells me, the wine. Even the very early Spring weather--which ranged from frost to gorgeous--cooperated and not a bug bite was had the whole trip.
We sent an enquiry through The Africa Guide listing our preliminary thoughts. In a nutshell, our Internet and literature research convinced me to try a "luxury combined with adventure" trip, centered in KwaZulu Natal, but also including Capetown and, it turned out, Bushman's Kloof. Michele actually listened to my hopes to see and experience a lot of SA in less than three weeks. I decided to go with this operator primarily as a result of her personal touch. The fact that every one of our complex air reservations, transfers, lodges, hotels, and events worked without a hitch is testimony to Michele's attention to detail, and her personal interest in our comfort, safety and enjoyment.
