Family Traveller

African Travels made our dream come true!
A trip to Africa with our girls (10 and 13) had been on our wish list for a long time.
We chose South Africa in consultation with African Travels because of its incredibly beautiful panoramic route and the possibility to spot the Big 5 in Kruger from the convenience and comfort of your own car. And Mozambique because of its beautiful and mostly deserted beaches, snorkeling, special sea life and relaxed (beach) culture.

African Travels has helped us excellently with the implementation of this, completely tailored to our holiday wishes. i.a. estimating travel distances and finding beautiful (and safe) accommodations is something that is better left to the experts. The accommodations they chose were even more beautiful in real life than in the photos. The contact with African Travels was very good, both before and during the trip, they answer our questions quickly and thought along with you.

We enjoyed and recommend this trip to everyone who is in for a Relaxing African Adventure!
