Testimonials - Southern African Holidays
Just a quick note to let you know we arrived back today from our South African adventure and that everything went very smoothly. It was great being there to experience World cup fever.
Thanks for all your efforts, we had a great time.

We have always travelled independently in the past & were a little sceptical about "tours" expecting lots of people & a strict schedule. Filling in this testimonial on our return flight we have agreed that this, our honeymoon could not be faulted. The transfers were seamless, all our accommodation exceeded our expectations & the inclusions as stated in the package were made available to us and more. We would definitely recommend these tours, especially for a honeymoon because everything was easy & there weren't many others, in fact I think we had 2 others on safari & that's all. Thank you.

Sean, Just a quick email on behalf of myself, Pete and Kris to thank you for all the work you did to make our safari the amazing experience that it was. From the moment we first made contact with you right up until the day we left your professionalism was first class, ensuring everything went without a hitch.
All the tours and activities you included in our safari made the experience all the better, with your knowledge of the continent and the activities available in each country we were truly glad that we choose Wild Africa to travel with. From the roar of the Victoria Falls to the sunset over the Okavango Delta are memories that I'll never forget.
So once again thank you so very much for all the work you did and I know for sure when we travel to Africa again the first call I'll make is Wild Africa and we will make sure all our friends do the same Thank You Nick

Sean, just a quick email to let you know it all went very well. All connections were on time and all lodges etc up to or exceeded our expectations. Saw all of the large charismatic wildlife and much more, despite the wet Easter meaning there was plenty of water and feed around giving the wildlife plenty of places to hide out. We saw the most / best wildlife including Cheetah from the roads at Honeyguide & saw the least at Rhino Post / Kruger. We are advised September etc is the best time to view wildlife in those parts.
Motswari was great but we now have some reservations about the off road driving, that's probably not sustainable given visitor numbers, even though it gave us some up close views of wildlife. Honeyguide was very friendly and comfortable. The Rhino walking safari was a great change from the game drives - Rhino Plains Camp was excellent and made better 'cause we were the only ones there. We would strongly recommend plains camp for anyone looking for a more remote experience; the overnight sleep out under the stars was ok, others might appreciate it more. Guests can choose between any combination of the Rhino Post lodge, plains camp, walking and sleep out - that's all very flexible.
All in all it was a fantastic experience.
Grant Hull & David Newton, Ballarat VIC, April 2010
Thank you for assisting me after my wife was taken ill in South Africa. I appreciated the way you arranged our return journey a week earlier with-out any fuss. You operate a good service and I will recommend your company in the future.
Lyle White, Redlands QLD, March 2010
We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday there and the lodge (Bakubung Bush Lodge) was excellent and the game drives were excellent.
Sue Dodd & Family, Hervey Bay QLD, December 2009
Had a wonderful first-time safari at Motswari and saw the Big 5 within our first 24h there (including some white lion cubs, which I believe have been rare in the wild in recent times)! Could not fault the setting/food/service. Transfers were prompt, with safe drivers and clean vehicles.
Natasha Ching, St Leonards NSW, December 2009
This holiday has been one of the best I have been on. The trip was professionally organised down to the smallest details. Sales staff assisted throughout the booking process. The transfers were always on time and all the extra activities were fantastic. I had such a great holiday. Thanks Wild Africa.
Karen, QLD, October 2009
Thank you so much. We had the most amazing time. Our accommodation at Protea Wanderers was sensational, the meals were excellent and the staff there were great. Our tour to Soweto was very interesting and our guide was very informative, explaining how Soweto which was once the most dangerous city in the world, is now one of the safest. Motswari was a wonderful experience. We loved every minute of our stay there. Our hut, "Nyala", was very luxurious, the staff were fantastic and our guide, Herold, was just the best. We went on 2 safari's each day and during our evening safari we would always stop, Herold would set up a table with drinks and nibbles and we would have a little cocktail party under the stars. It was heaven.
Did we have an enjoyable time? That is putting it mildly. Thanks to Wild Africa, we had a most incredible adventure, one that we will never forget.
Christa & Eddy Scott, Croydon VIC, September 2009
Sean from Wild Africa put together an unforgettable Africa trip for us. Motswari was the highlight of our African experience - everything about the game lodge was amazing - the people, the food, the animals. The level of service was second to none. We would definitely use Wild Africa for our next trip.
Jean and Brian Allsop, Manson ACT, September 2009
We had an awesome trip to Sun City and Pilanesberg. Thank you very much.
Sun City as a whole is great for the family. I thoroughly enjoyed Bakubung Bush Lodge for the 4 nights. Most of the field guides/rangers that we went on the game drive with were fantastic. We particularly enjoyed the drive with Sean (the senior guide). He was full of information and so great with our children (5/7 yrs). The staff on Bakubung Bush Lodge were great particularly the restaurant staff. They were very attentive and great with our children. While we were there, we felt very safe (both from the animals and crime). Some might argue that 5 game drives are excessive. However we thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them as we saw different animals at different game drives and at different part of the national park depending on what animals we were tracking at the time.
We had a great time and I will surly recommend you to my colleagues who had expressing their interest of going to Africa in the near future.
Wendy Kuo and family, Wavell Height QLD, September 2009
The trip was fantastic. The honeymoon suite was wonderful and the staff were excellent, food was great and the water sports/fishing/snorkelling etc were also spot on. We had no dramas with flights and everything seem to run very smoothly. Thank you very much for your help - it made the trip all the more enjoyable to know that things were sorted.
Thomas and Loretta O'Dwyer, Keilor Downs VIC, July 2009
Our trip was fantastic and everything we hoped it would be. Everything worked perfectly and there were no hiccups. Mukambi Safari Lodge was probably the pick as far as we were concerned. Very friendly staff who all got on and worked together. The lady in charge was an example for all other lodge owners/managers. She couldn't do enough for us and even threw in an extra excursion for free so we wouldn't be sitting around too long. Excellent guides who seemed to have a passion for their job. They went to great lengths to find us the animals we hadn't seen.
Sean, I would just like to thank you for organising the trip. I have been very impressed with the service from yourself personally and the Company in general. The holiday lived up to all expectations and we would not hesitate to book with (or recommend to others) Wild Africa again.
Phillip and Susanne Priestley, Bonogin QLD, June 2009
Thanks for all your help Sean. It was a great holiday, we just loved it. The lodge at Chobe was excellent. Right by the river. and the cruises were fantastic, so many animals. Okavango Delta beautiful, great sight from the air, and we saw lots of hippos outside our lodge in the river and it was quite scary hearing them thru the night and we were only on a little timber made ledge with our tents. The tents were great quality. The food at the Oddballs Camp was amazing. Thanks again for everything.
Margaret and Stephen Hall, Sydney NSW, May 2009
"It was a brilliant 3 days. The resort was lovely, only a hop, step and a jump to Vic falls and teeming with wildlife. The monkeys provided endless hours of entertainment while we dined outside at the beautiful restaurant. The river cruise on the African Queen was a great fun night."
Maureen and Kevin O'Rourke, Mackay QLD, April 2009
"The trip up the Zambezi by boat into Chobe was great and we were able to view dozens of hippos and elephants from very close range. We had a wonderful time with Botswana being fabulous."
John and Sandy Lobban, Sydney NSW, April 2009
"Absolutely brilliant. Service, staff and guides were faultless. You could not ask for a better location or facilities than the Zambezi Sun provides and the food was sensational. Everything ran on time and the coach transfers were excellent, even dropping us at the Protea Wanderers hotel rather than the airport when our plans changed."
Colin and Cheryl Wilkinson, Broome WA, April 2009
"The guided tour was a terrific way to experience South Africa for the 1st time as we were a little apprehensive about travelling on our own. The night we spent at Lion Sands Private Lodge in Sabi Sands Game Reserve was a definite highlight. The night game drive off road through the bush was truly exhilarating. I cannot recommend Wild Africa Travel highly enough as from the moment we enquired about this tour their service was 1st class."
Peter and Heather Trethowan, Brisbane QLD, January 2009
"The holiday to Kruger National Park was expertly organised by Sean - nothing was left to chance. I can't wait to return to Africa - what an experience!!"
Glen and Sandra Savage, Horsham VIC, October 2008
The Okavango Delta has to be seen to be believed, man it is wild!! I had a great time at Oddballs Camp with the Mdee & his staff being so welcoming & friendly. I will never forget the mokoro trips up the delta watching the animals coming down to drink - amazing experience!!"
