Thanks a lot for the excellent organisation of the tour. All of our party was very satisfied and we took a lot of pleasure and fun out of the tour. It was a pleasure to travel in your beautiful country and our guide Sam was very good and helpful. We are back at work in Switzerland now and it is minus 18 C. We look forward to there maybe being a next time!

A very good tour, it couldn't have been better. Our guide Wayne was very social, knowledgeable and helpful. He even managed to find us the 'Big 5' in 5 hours in the Kruger Park. If we return to South Africa we would use Journey Into Africa again.

From the planning stages to the drive back to the airport at the end,  the whole experience could not have been better. Journey Into Africa is a well-oiled machine. The stay in Johannesburg was pleasureable, Eugene a fabulous guide. The accommodations at both lodges could not have been better and we not only saw the 'Big 5', but got a thrilling adrenalin filled adventure trekking after a few angry Black Rhino. Bravo Shaun, thank you very much, we will recommend your company to everyone.

I would like to thank you for the amazing safari that I had in the Kruger Park. I saw all of the 'Big 5' in one day, plus cheetah, and lots of other exciting moments. I had a great time there! I also would like to put in a word of highest consideration about the guide, Bertus, who was a first class guide with excellent knowledge and passion for his work.

We could not have wished for a better guide - clever, pleasant and very patient with our kids. Wayne made the trip very easy and relaxing and went out of his way over and over. He made great recommendations that suited us perfectly. Thanks so much, this was a trip of a lifetime.

Brilliant itinerary and excellent delivery. This was our second tour with Journey Into Africa and it has made us realise how much more there is to see and do in South Africa. Our addition to Africa means that we shall return and have the confidence in using Journey Into Africa again.

Journey Into Africa made everything smooth and easy for us. As first time visitors to Africa we didn't know what to expect and were a little scared but Journey Into Africa and Eugene our guide made us feel very comfortable and as if we were travelling with friends and family. We would definitely recommend Journey Into Africa, and Eugene as a guide to any friends interested in going to South Africa.

This tour is highly recommended and we wouldn't choose another safari company if we were to travel to South Africa again. We definitely got our money's worth at such an affordable price. We loved it and our guide Wayne was the best guide we have ever had on all of our travels, which is a lot! Wayne answered every question we threw at him without any hesitation.

Just a quick note to say that we have nothing but praise for your organization, guidance and accommodation choices etc for our holiday. We had such a great time! I really want to pay a special tribute to Eugene, who was absolutely fantastic. He was entertaining and a real wealth of knowledge. He was the perfect guide.

We had a wonderful time at Kwa-Madwala Private Game Reserve. Our guide was great, really knowledgeable and so helful. The staff at Manyatta Rock Camp were all so friendly and our game drives were the best! We saw all of the 'Big 5' in the Kruger and had a lot of fun learning all about the animals. Our only wish was that we could stay longer - next time!

This was a wonderful trip and two nights at each lodge was fine. It was a perfect way to sample the hospitality and wildlife of Botswana, culminating in the majesty of the Victoria Falls.

We loved South Africa so much after our first visit last year that we decided to return for a second year in a row. You have again provided us with excellent organisation. We had a fantastic time with many highlights, ranging from whales to golf courses and excellent restaurants. There may well be a third trip to plan for next year.

I want to thank you very much for a fantastic trip. Our safari in the Pilanesberg National Park was amazing and we saw many animals including four of the 'Big 5' - with only the leopard escaping us. Our stay in Cape Town was also great - Cape Town is such a beautiful city! Thanks again for the good organization, everything went very smoothly.

Booking over the internet is always a bit of a worry as you are not sure what you will get, but going through Journey Into Africa with their quick replies to our questions made us feel more confident and it turned out to be an exceptional experience. We had a great holiday with lots of great memories through the experience of the guides Joy and Eugene who went out of their way to help us. Many thanks to Journey Into Africa.

It was a pleasure to spend our first few days around the Kruger Park area doing safaris. We only have positive thoughts about the experience. we were really satisfied by the organisation of the safari tour. Your proposals as well as your suggestions to our queries were more than satisfactory. We would highly recommend Journey Into Africa because of their pre-booking communication. There were no nasty surprises after we made our booking. All the arrangements were in order and our guide Wayne was very professional and informative, it was a pleasure to travel with him. In a final few words it was an amazing trip that we would love to repeat sometime in the future.

Well we've been back home for a bit and Krista and I both want to pass on to you how much we loved our trip to South Africa and how grateful we are that your company made this a memory we will never forget. The guides were fantastic! Meshak, Thimba and Sam made this trip an absolute pleasure from the cooking to the humour to the knowledge of the bush, they never disappointed us. We have as many photo's as memories and are both thankful for everything you and your guides gave to us. Cheers and we hope to deal with you again.

Overall this was a wonderful experience, everything was beautifully organized. The accommodation at Kwa-Madwala Private Game Reserve was terrific and our guide Wayne was friendly, informative and great fun. We saw many 'stand-out' things but the visit to the Kruger National Park was most memorable as we saw '4 of the Big 5'. The trip is a never to be forgotten experience.

The tour was excellently planned and gave us a good preview of South Africa with this being our first trip. We were on tour for 11 days visiting the Kruger Park area, Sun City, Victoria Falls and Cape Town. We had some amazing game drives and wildlife spotting as well as having some quality leisure time to relax and experience the peace of the African lifestyle. The Victoria Falls were magnificent and we could not have asked for a better place to stay than the Zambezi Sun. Our guides both on safari and in Cape Town were professional and knowledgeable and gave us a good insight into African culture and hospitality. We will certainly use Journey Into Africa again and have no hesitation in recommending their services to our friends and family back home.

This was our first safari experience so we do not have a previous safari experience to compare it against. However in terms of our expectations, the whole holiday far exceeded them. It has been a magical honeymoon experience and the variety of activities offered something different everyday.

A great experience, the safari was excellent and we managed to see the 'Big 5'. The Panorama Route was beautiful as well as the accommodation being very comfortable. Our favourite moment was coming face to face with a leopard and the lion pride having a giraffe for breakfast was also great! I don't think we will ever forget our first experience in Africa and Eugene our guide played a great role.

Our trip was amazing. Our guide was very professional yet still very easy to talk to about the sights and country in general. The accommodations were the very best. The parks tours brought us in sight of some spectacular animals, including a cheetah in the wild. This is something we will remember for the rest of our lives. The price of the package we booked was a great deal for the value and enjoyment we took away from the experience. We highly recommend this company.
