Perfect tailor made trip within budget

Our trip perfectly matched our expectations. Marieke and team are good listeners and being very experienced, while living in SA, she could translate our wishes in a very nice tailor made journey. Everything was perfectly organised, rechecked and double checked. She knows most accommodations herself. Because she lives in SA it is very easy to contact her by Whats-app, mail of phone. Next to that African Travels provides a very handy – offline – app with all necessary data in it. Marieke contacted us regularly to check if everything was still OK, and it was !!

My girlfriend and I booked a 10-day tour through Marieke from African Travels and we had a blast. Marieke helped us plan the trip (even before we paid anything), was very patient with the changes we did and was able to get us better prices. She was always available through WhatsApp and answered ad-hoc questions.

We did a Safari and literally travelled across the country from Joburg to Cape Town. In general, the accommodations (B&Bs) were good, especially the one in Stellenbosch, with a few exceptions. Marieke has stayed at most of them personally, so she knows them well.

My brother had also booked a trip through this agency a few years back and gave great feedback.

I strongly recommend this agency for your SA trip!

Thank you Marieke!
