Testimonials
Phinda was extraordinary, beyond expectations. Boys all want to be rangers and Jack cried when we left - can't understand why we live here n not there!! Callie and Mike were awesome rangers and lovely trackers too. Kids all in one jeep so fantastic for adults too! Mike a saint to deal with 7 of them for 5 days - even cut his finger with a panga as he prepared sticks for the boys! Phinda has expanded in acreage in 15 years but still the same welcome and service. Game viewing excellent, food very good and ambiance second to none. We will be back! Cape town was wonderful - arrived at end of wet easter WE and had 4 lovely days before change again on saturday as we left. Nellie (Mount Nelson) excellent. Boys only disappointed as there wasn't enough time for fishing! Thx for everything. We have already let Phinda know we had a blast. In search of the recipe for their morning crunchies too!!Fergal, Jane and kids travelled to South Africa on a family holiday

Hi Rob, I cannot believe how long we have been back from the most amazing honeymoon and I haven't emailed to say THANK YOU. You organised a most INCREDIBLE trip, it was truly special for both Charlie and I. We loved every minute of it and as you can imagine Charlie is already talking about heading back to Africa. I cannot thank you enough for working tirelessly over planning it all for me. Everything worked like clockwork and it was a very relaxing way to travel. All in all a brilliant trip, thank you.Alastair and Charlotte travelled on honeymoon to South Africa and Mozambique
Late April/ May 2011
Hi Rob, today is our first day back to work and reality after our wonderful honeymoon. We had the best time of our lives and absolutely loved every second of it. We kept thinking it couldn't get better and it did. All of the accommodations were superb and it was a great variety of venues. We were so enamored with our room at the Mosselberg! The safari was by far our favorite aspect of the trip. We are so glad we went with Savanna. Everyone was so knowledgeable and warm and the accommodations were spectacular. Spending 4 nights was perfect too, it left us wanting more, but it was enough time to see so many great things and get to know so many wonderful people. Thanks so much for all of your help and putting together such a memorable honeymoon. We will be sure to recommend others to you. Thanks again for making our honeymoon so very special.Carl and Jennifer travelled through South Africa's Cape and Kruger regions on honeymoon

Dear Michele, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip to South Africa and the itinerary provided us with the opportunity for many varied and interesting experiences. Whilst many visitors to the Cape and Garden Route start at Cape Town and work eastwards, we consider the way we went, i.e east to west finishing in Cape Town, works well indeed – the hurly burly of Cape Town and potential for getting lost could be daunting after a twelve hour flight! (we grew to love our GPS which we only needed in Cape Town). Many thanks for providing a great service and a holiday to remember.Richard and Jackie travelled to South Africa

Dear Rob, as you know from my earlier note the holiday was an outstanding success and fulfilled all the hopes of our wide age range. We felt the amount of time at each place was just right (except for Theo who howled for two hours when it was time to leave Jembisa) and we all enjoyed the contrasts - warm embrace of Jembisa, stark exciting Mashatu, ritzy Cape Town, side trip back to Europe at Franschhoek and ending on a high with strong winds and a heaving sea full of whales at Hermanus. You worked it out so we didn't lose too much time in travelling and what we did by road gave us the chance to glimpse the real world - which we needed to put the luxury into context. We really appreciated how much you put into two weeks. Thank you for taking so much trouble to interpret our wishes and if the piggy bank miraclulously replenishes itself we shall be back!Carol and family travelled to South Africa and the Tuli Block in south-eastern Botswana
August 2011
Dear Rob, I know you have already heard from other family members that we had a truly memorable holiday. Everyone was well, happy and delighted throughout. We constantly commented on how everything felt "just right", each place we stayed fitted our needs perfectly and we loved the contrasting styles. The amount of travelling was easily manageable and in fact we were glad of longish road journeys in order to catch a glimpse of the real world beyond the luxuries that we enjoyed. With best wishes and very many thanks for the great care you took to arrange everything so well for our group spanning 7 decades!Carol travelled with her extended family through South Africa and into Botswana's Tuli Block

We have complete satisfaction with Safari Consultants and Jane, our trip organiser. From our first enquiries about a possible safari to Africa we received, both by telephone and email, a wealth of detailed information and suggestions to suit both our capabilities and our pockets. The whole trip was organised with an attention to detail that was meticulous and unerringly accurate. All our accommodation proved excellent, routes were clearly marked and sensible journey times were suggested. It was obvious that we were dealing with someone who had extensive personal experience of travel in the whole area and was prepared to go to considerable lengths to ensure that we had a wonderful and safe trip. Many thanks to you Jane for all your hard work on our behalf and for your never-failing courtesy and pleasant manner. You're more than just a travel consultant to us and we would recommend both you and Safari Consultants, without reservation.Ken, Joan and Hilary travelled to South Africa and Botswana

Rob, we just wanted to let you know that we had such a wonderful and exciting time in S Africa, Botswana. We enjoyed the camps we stayed at, each offering a different perspective of Africa. We can't sneeze at 6 leopard sitings, cheetahs, lions, giraffe's mating and the list goes on and on and on. Nottens and Shinde were especially special. Chase, at Nottens is an amazing person. So knowledgable and you could tell that he enjoys his life as it is in his part of the world. Our accomodations were EXCELLENT!.....And the food! Oh my! SO DELICIOUS! We shall never forget such a wonderful experience and we both thank you so much for taking care of every detail. Florence and I will be contacting you about a return trip in 2014.Carolyn and Florence travelled to South Africa, Zambia and Botswana
April/May 2011
This was a first-rate holiday and we don't think you are going to be able to better it or even equal it.......now, there's a challenge! It was a true wilderness experience and we loved pretty much every minute. You got everything in absolutely the right order, and we were so glad to finish in the quiet atmosphere of Tswalu (quite liked the pampering too).John & Jennifer travelled to Namibia & South Africa

I have contacted AITO and given Safari Consultants a rave review! We had a wonderful holiday which exceeded our expectations, free of hassle, and that was due in no small part to your choices on our behalf. Everywhere we went we felt the staff wanted us to enjoy ourselves. Thank you!Joe & Jenni travelled to South Africa
