There is no better way to learn about a safari than through other travellers’ firsthand accounts. Our Guest reviews are the genuine deal—unbiased and unedited—providing an honest assessment of their experience in Africa.
When choosing an African safari, there are so many itinerary options that narrowing down your choices might be difficult. As a result, we have collated our most recent travelling comments from travellers who have taken an African safari with us to assist you in deciding which safari is right for you.
Claire’s advice for our trip to Rwanda and Kenya was excellent. It was reassuring to know she had first hand knowledge of the places we were travelling to and the tour operators who would be looking after us. It was also reassuring to know that if anything went wrong, we could call her directly to sort it out. She prepared us well for what to expect and overall the trip went very smoothly. Claire advised us to book two gorilla treks if we could because sometimes people get so caught up in taking photographs that they forget to just “be” in the moment and you only have one hour with your assigned gorilla family. We are so glad we did, not just because they are incredible animals to see in person but because our experiences across those two days were quite different in terms of the behaviour of the gorillas themselves and the mountain terrain. On our second trek we had to hike through farmland to get to the forest. This was an unexpected opportunity to learn more about the local way of life as we passed people working in the fields and to interact with some of the village children, who were always keen to wave and shout hello. For our safari, Claire advised us to stay on a Maasai Mara conservancy for a less crowded, more authentic experience. We stayed at Lion Camp on the Olare Motorogi Conservancy and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Our Maasai guides were knowledgeable and great company. We saw all the big cats on our list in a way that felt personal, safe and respectful. Thank you again Claire for organising what has been such an unbelievable experience.
Our trip was wonderful… exhausting at times but such an amazing adventure! We loved the landscapes of Namibia, the animals of Botswana and the beauty of Vic Falls and Cape Town! Africa is such a magical place. Everything was organized well and went off without any issues. Claire and the team did a fantastic job! I would highly recommend African Safaris to anyone.
We have just returned from the most incredible and special trip to Africa, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Claire’s local knowledge, contacts, advice and attention to detail meant that every aspect of the trip was exactly what suited our family. Our safari experience was truly a dream come true. Thank you so much, Claire, for making it all so special. We will definitely be back when it’s time to plan our next African adventure!
My husband and I had the most amazing experience with our visit to Malawi thanks to Claire
We recently returned from a visit to Victoria Falls and a Botswana safari. All went very smoothly, and we got to view all the animals we had hoped to see. We had a good bunch of fellow travellers, and a great guide who with his awesome team looked after us very well. Thank you Claire for arranging our African adventure – an experience that will remain with us forever.
Our Kenyan safari exceeded our expectations in every way- so many amazing animals and great camps with amazing staff. Can’t wait to go back!
Claire has incredible knowledge of African safaris. She took the time to listen to what we wanted and created the perfect itinerary for our requirements and budget. Our experience was outstanding and we’re dreaming about the next trip. I would recommend anyone considering going on a safari to Africa to talk to Claire.
Our time in Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania was exceptional. Claire’s planning and organisation made life easy for us and worry free. There was always someone to meet us and escort us at each stop. We couldn’t fault anything. We would definitely recommend African Safaris to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.
