Allisson & Larry - Self-Drive Namibia - July 2026 We have just returned from our second holiday organised by Chris at Travel Africa, and once again it was an incredible experience. This time, Chris arranged a 15-day self-drive tour through Namibia, which turned out to be truly magical. As it was our first time doing a self-drive trip, I was a little nervous at first, but I quickly realised there was no need to worry. Chris worked closely with us to tailor the holiday to our budget, timeframe and interests, and the result was exactly what we had hoped for. We hired a 4x4 camper and stayed in a wonderful mix of campsites and lodges, all of which were fantastic. The instructions for each destination were clear and easy to follow, and the tips on things to see and do along the way made the journey even more enjoyable. The itinerary was extremely well structured and allowed us to visit all the places we had dreamed of seeing, including Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Spitzkoppe, Damaraland and Etosha National Park. We would highly recommend Travel Africa to anyone looking for a well-planned, personalised and memorable African adventure. We are already starting to plan our 3rd African adventure with Chris!
Sandy & Group - Johannesburg, Botswana, Kruger & Cape Town - June-July 2026 Our group of 15 people had a trip of a lifetime, bonded forever by the memories we shared! I was born in South Africa and lived there till I was 28. My wife and I wanted to take our grown boys, friends and family from Australia and Portugal, for their first ever holiday to Africa. Wanting to ensure the safety of everyone, I researched different travel companies and settled on Travel Africa Your Way.
I am so glad I did! Chris & Sandie were amazing to deal with. Their knowledge, experience and African contacts on everything Africa was to say the least, exceptional. My group had people arriving in South Africa on different dates, different internal flights, helicopter transfers, accommodation and different group itineraries, until we all came together at the Kruger. Chris gave each group a code to access their itinerary on an app called Travel Key.
The Travel Key app was amazing! Not only did it contain a detailed daily itinerary, but it also included in country contact details for every company he booked with, information, travel tips and ideas for excursions in the area we were in. I have included photos below to give you an idea of what it looked like.
We spent 3 days in JHB, 3 days in Botswana in Kiri Camp and 7 nights in Elephant Point near the Paul Kruger Gate. JHB was the biggest worry in terms of safety, but I needn’t of worried. We were met as soon as we exited arrivals and we were whisked out of the airport to our private transfers. A 20 to 30 minute drive later and we arrived at Montecasino. A gated complex consisting of 4 Hotels, a bird park, cinemas, a theatre and a casino with so many different restaurants and shops. Whilst we got over our 3 day jet lag, we were able to walk around to any of the places day or night and were completely safe.
I could go on about the 5 star accommodation at each destination, but it would be a long essay that no one would read 🤣🤣
I will just say that the accommodation, service, food and organisation of our group was exceptional! The experiences we had and the memories we made PRICELESS!
If you have always wanted to experience Africa safely and go on safari, then Travel Africa Your Way, is the way to go. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Chris & Sandie are passionate about Africa and this shows in everything they do. I cannot recommend them enough and I will forever be grateful for our unforgettable, trip of a lifetime.
Tatalia & Mark - Self-Drive South Africa & Botswana Mobile Safari - June 2026 Bush Ways camping in Botswana - what a bloody great company to travel with, our expectations were constantly exceeded. Travel Key worked perfectly! Car hire seamless, efficient hybrid, your directions and additional info kept us safe! All our accommodation was clean, safe, unique and beautiful. It was exactly how I love to travel if I was finding my own accommodation. I don't really have the right words to express how grateful we are to have come across your agency, you have truly given us some of the most beautiful and crazy memories that will stay in our hearts forever, with stories and places that we can share with our kids and inspire them travel to this very special part of the world one day. My 40th b'day is one I most definitely won't ever forget, seeing a lazing lion on the way out of Botswana, a surprise flight over Vic falls, followed by dinner in town where an elephant decided to join us street side.. .it really was the stuff dreams are made of.
Joyce & family - Botswana Mobile Safari & Victoria Falls - June 2026 Travel Africa Your Way provided us with a diverse and organised experience. Chris knows his stuff! He had promised a trip of a lifetime, but I was honestly a tiny bit skeptical and I shouldn't have been. After the very first day, I turned to my husband and said - "we could go home now, and it would have been worth it"- that is how amazing it was. Our teenage sons also were blown away. They said that they felt so special for being able to experience this adventure. We saw so many animals that we ended up having to create a list to keep track of them all. And, if you are a bird watcher, this trip would be worth it for watching birds alone. Our guide, Evans, was absolutely exceptional. He had decades of experience, and it showed in his daily discussions regarding wildlife and in how the other guides from other companies treated him with reverence. Bush Ways truly provided us with everything we needed and more. Transfers were seamless, accommodations were wonderful. Thank you, Chris!
Barbara & family - Botswana Mobile Safari, Victoria Falls, Cape Town & the Winelands - June 2026 Our experience with Travel Africa will stay with us always as one of the most special and memorable of our time together as a family. The unforgettable thrill seeing so many animals in their natural habitat in Botswana (from land and water), to the majestic Victoria Falls (and the soaking we got), to the history and culture and scenery in Capetown and the beautiful Winelands. It's impossible to pick just one highlight. Chris and Sandie ensured everything went so smoothly and couldn't have been more helpful, professional and thoughtful. The knowledge of our safari guide, Evans, was second to none. He made sure we saw a huge range of animals and birds up close, and were safe and comfortable in our super vehicle. The safari staff were so efficient and helpful and produced the most delicious meals over open campfires. All our accommodation was superb. All our transfers & pickups ran like clockwork. Thank you, Travel Africa Your Way, for an unforgettable adventure.
Kylie & family - Victoria Falls, Chobe & Kruger - June 2026 We used Chris and his team to organise our Africa holiday as we had no experience with Africa. Chris just asked our budget and where we wanted to visit and provided us with an itinerary. We were happy with what was planned and booked. Everything was organised and provided in a digital itinerary and also emailed to us to print. Every place was beautiful and we had plenty of time to do what we wanted to do. We saw the Big 5 plus many other animals. It was the most amazing holiday, and it is because of Chris and his team. They are very experienced with Africa and were available on WhatsApp whenever I was unsure on something. I never once felt unsafe in my travels. Thanks, you are amazing.
Shilo - Cape Town & Kruger - June 2026 Thanks to Chris at Travel Africa Your Way, we had an incredible South African journey! The V and A waterfront in Cape Town was the perfect location, great rooms and food and everything was so close, with views of the majestic Table Mountain from the hotel. The safari was brilliant, the lodge and staff so friendly and fun, the game drives in Sabi Sands were beyond expectation with up close and personal interactions with Lions, Leopards, Elephants, Hippopotamus and White Rhino, Water Buffalo, impalas and Pangolin! Your transfers, drivers and flights were fantastic and the whole experience was seamless. Thank you so much for organising an unforgettable experience! We could not have done this ourselves.
Richard, Anna & Emma - Ultimate Southern Africa - May 2026 We cannot endorse Travel Africa too strongly. This was the safari of a lifetime. Got close to every type of animal, saw them doing what they do in nature, and learnt more than you will ever know from watching the Discovery channel. Incredible lodges, fantastic meals, and exceptional guides. Travel Africa took care of everything, from the moment we touched down in Africa to leaving again - all flights, transfers, hotels, everything! I even mentioned that during the trip my daughter would be having her birthday, and so at EVERY lodge her birthday was celebrated in real African style! They paid attention to every detail. Cannot recommend Travel Africa strongly enough!!!!
Elias & Anne - Ultimate Southern Africa - May 2026 We have just returned from a wonderful 3 week African adventure to Sabi Sands Game Reserve, Franschhoek, Cape Town, Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park and Victoria Falls. We knew we would need expert assistance organising this trip and thankfully found Jeff at Travel Africa Your Way. From our initial email outlining our vague ideas of where we wanted to visit, Jeff put together a fantastic itinerary for us. Everything was perfect: fantastic accommodation, activities, internal flights and transfers. Jeff's hard work made our trip seamless and free of stress. He provided fast responses to our queries and turned our dreams of visiting Africa into an unforgettable trip of a lifetime. We hope to return to Africa to see more of this amazing continent and would have no hesitation in calling on Jeff's expertise again.
Cristina & Family - Kruger, Chobe & Victoria Falls - April 2026Chris at Travel Africa Your Way was absolutely amazing in organising our family holiday to celebrate my 50th birthday. Our trip took us to Kruger National Park, the Chobe River in Botswana, and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, and it was truly unforgettable. Everything was so thoughtfully planned, including arranging our itinerary so that I could spend my actual birthday at the magnificent Victoria Falls. Chris also worked hard to make the whole trip budget-friendly without compromising on the experience. Communication throughout was fantastic. Every detail had been carefully organised, and we were provided with all the information and contact numbers we needed along the way. This made us feel completely supported and safe at every stage of our journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Travel Africa Your Way to anyone looking for an unforgettable African adventure. Thank you so much, Chris, for helping make my 50th birthday and our family holiday so incredibly special!
Steve & Family - Kruger & the Panorama Route - April 2026Our trip to South Africa with Travel Africa exceeded all expectations thanks to Chris, who truly embodies the title of the best travel agent I've encountered in over 36 years of exploring the world. From start to finish, everything was flawlessly organized with a touch of old-school communication that made the experience even more delightful. Chris's helpfulness and top-notch service shone through as he effortlessly accommodated our itinerary changes with grace and efficiency. Despite booking last minute, he secured us outstanding accommodations in Hazyview, the Kruger Park, and private game parks, making our journey truly remarkable. Thank you to Chris and the entire Travel Africa team for creating such a memorable experience for us.
Guy & Mel - Best of Southern Africa - Feb-March 2026We recently returned from the Best of Southern Africa package put together by Chris and Sandie it was simply an outstanding holiday from start to finish. As it was my 79 year old Mother’s bucket list idea to go on safari to Africa, finding the right adventure was daunting. Travel Africa delivered the perfect introduction with a choice of accommodation, flexible itinerary and dates to meet our needs. Every day delivered a highlight with so many unforgettable experiences. Nature, scenery, animals, food, sunsets, lodges, game drives, new friendships and aquaintances - all came together with absolutely seamless transfers and logistics. Every step of the way was fully supported giving you peace of mind, with easily accessible contact details and useful tips whilst on the road. We can’t wait to plan our next journey to Africa with Chris & Sandie again.
Caroline & Grant - Best of Southern Africa & Walking Safari - March 2026I highly recommend Chris and the team at Travel Africa. They were the only travel agent I spoke to who worked within our budget and travel duration. The itinerary was fantastic as were all the accommodation and safari activities. We especially loved our walking safari at Africa on Foot. Chris was very responsive to our questions and I really appreciated all the travel tips he provided which helped to make our trip run smoothly. I will be going back to Africa and I will be using Chris for all future bookings.
Marie & Group - Okavango Delta, Chobe & Victoria Falls - January 2026Our group and I were so lucky to have found Travel Africa to assist us with our travel arrangements for Botswana and Zimbabwe. The transfers booked for each of our destinations on the tour were punctual and made travelling through Africa absolutely seamless, and all the accommodation was beautifully managed and maintained. Of course, the safari activities in each location (boat safaris, mokoro safaris, walking safaris and 4wd safaris) were spot on. We would not have had this experience without Chris' meticulous level of planning and organisation, and for that we are all very grateful. We look forward to our next African adventure and definitely recommend Travel Arica Your Way.
Rich & Group - Self-Drive Namibia - October 2025I have taken many tours to Namibia which keeps drawing me back as it is such a wonderful country. This time however I wanted to do a self drive with 6 other friends. We wanted 2 4WD but did not want to do the roof top camping. Chris put together for us the perfect itinerary. The plan and accommodation he booked for us exceeded our expectations. I cannot speak highly enough of Chris and Travel Africa your way. Thanks Chris and we look forward to planning our Sth Africa self drive with you soon.
Paul & Clare - Namibia, Kenya & Tanzania Small Group Tours - Sept-Oct 2025We booked our trip through Travel Africa Your Way and Chris was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. He was super easy to deal with and really took the time to understand what kind of holiday we wanted.
Chris clearly loves Africa, and that passion comes through in everything he does. He prepared us so well for the trip from what to pack to what to expect and it made everything so much smoother once we arrived. He even checked in before we left to wish us an amazing adventure, and welcomed us home afterwards, which was such a lovely personal touch.
The itinerary Chris put together was spot-on and the whole trip felt thoughtfully planned and completely stress-free. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients having the best possible experience.
If you’re thinking about travelling to Africa, definitely get in touch with Chris at Travel Africa Your Way. We couldn’t recommend him more!
Nicolle & Colin - Gorillas in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Victoria Falls, Chobe, Okavango Delta, Cape Town & Rovos Rail - October 2025 We’ve just returned from a 5-week African adventure that was arranged by Travel Africa Your Way — and it was genuinely one of the most meaningful travel experiences of our lives. What amazed us most was how seamlessly everything flowed, especially considering how little lead time we had to put this trip together. Every lodge, every connection, every detail was handled with care and felt thoughtfully curated. We felt supported the entire way through and never once stressed about logistics, which allowed us to simply be present and enjoy each moment. We’ve already recommended them to others we met along the way — and would book with them again without hesitation.
Bec & Gary - Self-Drive Namibia & Botswana - September 2025 My partner and I recently got back from a self-drive roof top tent camping trip through Namibia and Botswana planned by Travel Africa Your Way. It was such an incredible experience and everything went seamlessly because of the planning and itinerary that Chris and Sandie put together for us. They listened to what we wanted, gave us options and suggestions, pulled together an amazing itinerary and were very communicative. The communication and information provided prior to the trip was amazing. There was even an app that had our detailed itinerary and all documentation saved within it. This took the stress of traveling in a foreign country away. We have already recommended them to numerous people who have been talking about going to Africa. And we have already been speaking to Chris about planning our next trip back there! I can’t recommend them enough.
Mandy - Victoria Falls & Chobe - September 2025 Thank you to Jeff and the team at Travel Africa Your Way for arranging an amazing 5 days in Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park. Your recommended accommodation and activities arranged for us were exactly what we asked for. I was a little hesitant using an online travel company but I would have no hesitation recommending Travel Africa to family and friends or anyone wanting to embark on an African adventure.
Cathryn - Cape Town, Garden Route, Okavango Delta & Victoria Falls - August-September 2025 We spent a month in Africa during September on a bucket-list trip. The Southern African portion was organised by Travel Africa Your Way in Hornsby, in conjunction with our travel agent John Gazal, and we couldn’t have been happier with the result. The itinerary, accommodation, transfers, safaris, and overall organisation were all excellent, and every arrangement ran seamlessly It’s hard to pick a favourite between Cape Town, the South Africa road trip, the Okavango Delta, and Victoria Falls. The birdlife, animals, scenery, food, and wine all exceeded our expectations. We can highly recommend Travel Africa Your Way for anyone planning a trip to Africa and would gladly use them again. It was also very reassuring to have Australian contact numbers to call in case anything went wrong.
Darren & Sue - Victoria Falls & Chobe - July 2025 What a great experience we had dealing with Chris at Africa Travel. From day 1 till the end of our holiday, everything went like clockwork. Accommodation in both Botswana (Chobe Elephant Camp) & especially Victoria Falls (Victoria Falls Safari Lodge) was exceptional including all the transfers and flights. We would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to travel to Africa to use Travel Africa.
Jessie, Hongmei & Families - Tanzania Safari - July 2025 We had the most unforgettable safari adventure in Tanzania, all perfectly planned by Chris and Sandie. From start to finish, everything was seamless and so thoughtfully organised. They even arranged a surprise sundowner in the Serengeti to celebrate our 60th birthdays – a truly special and unforgettable moment in the heart of nature.
Another amazing highlight was the surprise birthday celebrations at both Ngorongoro Lion’s Paw and Aurari Camp. The staff went above and beyond with singing, dancing, and thoughtful gifts — it was joyful, heartfelt, and completely unexpected. Such beautiful memories! The sunrise hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti was also breathtaking. Floating above the plains as the sun rose and wildlife moved below us was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We were lucky to have James from their local partner, Albatros, as our guide and driver. He was incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and professional — we felt safe and informed every step of the way.
And the wildlife… just incredible! We saw nearly 100 lions, hundreds of elephants, and thousands upon thousands of wildebeests and zebras. Nature at its most spectacular. We can’t thank Chris and Sandie enough. If you’re planning a safari, we highly recommend them — they go above and beyond to make your journey truly special.
Ross - Self-Drive Namibia - June 2025 We planned to do a Self Drive tour in Namibia. We found Travel Africa on the internet and from the start we had great service from Chris, he regularly kept in touch with us to let us know progress of our booking. Once we arrived in Namibia everything worked perfectly. Our vehicle was delivered to our hotel and the rep from the local company met us and gave us a thorough briefing on our trip. The vehicle (4x4 Hilux ute) performed brilliantly on the mostly well corrugated gravel/dirt roads. All the accommodation was first rate and the memories of wildlife we saw will stay with us forever. Would thoroughly recommend Travel Africa.
Trent & Family - Victoria Falls, Hwange & Kruger - June 2025 Such a special trip with our 2 daughters who had the experience of a lifetime seeing lions, leopards, elephants, zebras and too many other animals to mention. Chris was incredible in shaping a trip that was perfect for our family. It exceeded what were high expectations!
Diana & Alan - Self-Drive Luxury Namibia - June 2025Chris and his team organised our self drive tour through Namibia faultlessly. Everything ran very smoothly. We had an unforgettable trip - the self drive option was perfect for us and we had no trouble with the roads. The accommodation was next level - we were even upgraded at Mowani because there was a big group there that night. The suite we were in was mindboggling. The TravelKey itinerary was particularly helpful because we could look at instructions and maps offline in the car. Travel Africa contributed greatly to a spectacular experience! I’ll definitely recommend you to anyone travelling Africa!
Paul & Family - Botswana, Victoria Falls & Kruger - May 2025Chris was a fantastic agent who organised a remarkable trip for our family. He was extremely knowledgeable and gave great advice and managed to facilitate different departure times for some members of our trip. The accommodation and tours were superb, and all the charter flights and transfers worked seamlessly. I couldn’t recommend Chris more highly. A trip we will all remember fondly. Thanks Chris.
Julia & Roald - Self-Drive Botswana - May 2025Chris planned an amazing trip in Botswana for my partner and I. He listened to our requests / feedback, offered multiple different options and stayed within our budget - which we struggled to find with other travel agents for Africa. He is extremely knowledgeable and his detailed notes for our trip while travelling were so handy. We could not recommend him enough!
Meryl & Trevor - Ultimate Southern Africa - April 2025We have recently returned from a few weeks in southern Africa. We found Travel Africa Your Way on the internet and took the plunge knowing we did not want a to be part of a group tour but needed guidance in order for us to travel independently in this part of the world. Chris was the easiest and most knowledgeable travel agent to deal with. He really understood our needs and the type of experience we were looking for. The accommodation choices he put to us were wonderful. But in the end, it was the detailed information, the seamless transfers and fantastic communication that made this trip one to remember. We can't recommend Chris and his team highly enough for a those looking for an amazing African experience.
Dayan - Kruger Safari - April 2025Chris and crew did an amazing job putting together our itinerary! The safari was wonderful (we were super lucky too that we saw ALL the animals on our bucket list)! Kruger Gate Hotel was perfect - the transfers, flights and all arrangements were flawless. Thank you for organising this for us, it was just what he had hoped for and perfect for our budget and time windows!
Kristine - Mobile Safari, Botswana & Victoria Falls - March 2025The Okavango Delta in Botswana has been on my Bucket List for years and in March 2025 I went on the most fabulous camping safari there. I wasn’t sure where to start with my plan which also included visiting family in Namibia, re-visiting Victoria Falls and stopping over to see family in Perth. So I turned to Chris & Sandie at Travel Africa Your Way who met up with me to discuss what I wanted and came up with an excellent itinerary. They had previously organised a trip across South Africa for me so I was confident they would have some good recommendations. They explained the concept of the Mobile Safari to me and I did a 10 days/9 nights Grand Botswana tour which included the Moremi Game Reserve, the Mababe Concession and Chobe National Park. It was a small group tour (6 guests with 1 guide and 3 camp staff) and although it was low season, there had been lots of rain and the landscape was lush and beautiful. We saw so much wildlife up close and we were very well looked after in camp. Chris & Sandie also put together my complete itinerary which included flights from Sydney to Windhoek, Maun, Victoria Falls and Perth. They booked all the transfers as well as some wonderful activities for Victoria Falls. Everything went like clockwork and I couldn’t have been happier with my holiday. They know their stuff and I can highly recommend the services of Travel Africa Your Way.
Tim & Andrew - Victoria Falls, Botswana & South Africa - March 2025We came to the team with a rough idea of what we wanted to see and they put together the perfect itinerary for us. Victoria Falls, Botswana and South Africa. All questions were answered very promptly. No question was too hard. The accommodation was outstanding and the safaris brilliant. I highly recommend Travel Africa. Thanks to Chris, Sandie and the team for an unforgettable trip.
Chris & Mary Ann - Self-Drive Kruger - January 2025We often find ourselves reminiscing about our incredible trip to South Africa, especially our unforgettable adventure in Kruger National Park.
We wanted to take a moment to express our sincere appreciation for the exceptional service you provided. Your insights, guidance, and attention to detail truly enhanced our experience, making it memorable. The information you shared was invaluable, and we’re grateful for the effort you put into ensuring it goes smoothly. When we faced what felt like a crisis, your responsiveness despite the time difference and calm guidance made all the difference, ensuring we always had the right information at the right time. Every piece of advice was relevant and easy to follow.
Without hesitation, we’d highly recommend you to anyone looking for a remarkable South African adventure. Thank you once again for everything!
Laure & Luke & Family - Self-Drive Botswana - December 2024 Travel Africa helped plan an amazing itinerary through Botswana. Chris’s knowledge of the region meant we had an amazing trip. Chris organised a fully equipped 4WD for camping for us to pick in Maun and we self drove through Botswana. Camped in beautiful campsites with amazing wildlife. Chris’s expert knowledge of which campsites to choose was fantastic. The camping was broken up with some lodge time which also provided an amazing experience. Definitely recommend Travel Africa!
Nerida - Okavango Delta, Chobe & Victoria Falls - November 2024
Jane & Party - Victoria Falls, Chobe & the Okavango Delta - September 2024Travel Africa ... your way helped create and organise a really fantastic trip for my group of 4 people to Botswana and Victoria Falls. Nothing was too much trouble for Chris to arrange for us, and having the digital itinerary available while we were there was a godsend. I can totally recommend Travel Africa for all things Africa!
Stephen & Family - South Africa, Botswana & Victoria Falls - September 2024 Chris at Travel Africa organised our itinerary in a way that exceeded our expectations of a travel provider and gave us confidence in our holiday. From the very beginning of our enquiries, it was clear that Chris' passion for Africa and good customer service exceeded that of other travel providers we also reached out to. In addition, Chris' experience traveling in Africa with young children gave us comfort that the options he put together for our two children would be suitable.
Chris put together a custom itinerary that met all our criteria and within budget, and provided a clear rationale for the choices and options we had to consider. We loved spending time at Honeyguide Tented Safari Camp (private reserve near Kruger) in particular, as we had an authentic safari experience in a beautiful location, with an abundance of wildlife encounters and highly experienced guides. In addition, our accommodation in Victoria Falls and the Chobe River provided a different mix of experiences and were conveniently located close to nearby attractions, In addition, the arrangements for internal flights, local tours and transfers between venues and airports made for a smooth and safe experience.
Chris was able to tailor a perfect holiday to suit our likes, wishes and budget. Planning a trip to Africa can seem overwhelming due to the number of options, but Travel Africa made it easy. In addition, Jeff provided us with assistance towards the end of the planning process and during our trip which was timely and very helpful. We would highly recommend Travel Africa to anyone considering a trip to Africa.
Jane & Greg - Chobe, Victoria Falls, Cape Town, the Winelands & Kruger - September 2024Travel Africa did an amazing job helping us plan our 'once in a lifetime trip' - so good in fact that it will have to be more than once, and we are already thinking about when we can ask Chris and Sandie to start helping us plan our next trip to magical Africa. We spent our time in South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe and the trip was incredibly well planned and stress free - we couldn't criticise a single aspect of the holiday and there is absolutely nothing we wished we'd done differently. There are so many options to choose from that a trip to Africa can seem overwhelming but Chris and Sandie listened to what we were looking for and put together the perfect itinerary for us, and we cannot thank them enough. We will be back - sooner rather than later hopefully!
Jessica - Self-Drive Botswana - September 2024 Chris provided amazing advice, options and ongoing support for our self drive trip in Botswana. He went above and beyond, staying in touch while he was away in Africa sending us updated directions based on his experience. Highly recommend.
Cathy & Greg - Self-Drive Namibia & Botswana - August 2024Chris and Sandie helped shape our vague travel idea into a well organised, seamless dream holiday through Namibia and Botswana in an 4 x4 with a roof top tent. All the campsites, guest houses and resorts were perfect. The itinerary was excellent, we saw everything we wanted and so much more. The communication leading up to the trip was outstanding and the detailed itinerary was really helpful. This trip was the best travel experience we have had and that is largely due to the insights, knowledge experience of Chris and Sandie. We can’t recommend this company highly enough.
David & Simone - Cape Town - July 2024Chris & Sandie were both extremely helpful and knowledgeable in regards to our recent trip to Cape Town, SA. Their selection of hotels and tours offered perfectly suited our budget and time we had planned for our stay, as well as enough free days to rest/wander. The hotel we chose - The Portswood - is ideally located in the central tourist area close to the V&A Waterfront, a very safe area with plenty of food, shopping, entertainment and transport options. For first-time travellers to this part of the world, we have no hesitation in recommending their services. My wife and I had a marvellous time.
Allisson & Larry - Okavango Delta, Botswana Mobile Safari & Victoria Falls - July 2024Chris at Travel Africa helped organise a very memorable holiday that exceeded our expectations and has well and truly made us fall deeper in love with Africa. Chris organised a fly in and fly out stay at an excellent lodge in the Okavango Delta, followed by a 6 night fully assisted camping experience through the Chobe National Park ending with a wonderful 3-night stay at beautiful lodge Victoria Falls. Each part of the trip provided us with a different and exciting experience, we absolutely loved the lodge experience but also loved the outdoor camping adventure including eating our meals under the stars each night. Each location provided us with exceptional animal viewings, and we were able to see more than we had hoped. All the lodges + local providers he booked provided A+ service. Chris also organised several additional experiences which made our holiday even more perfect with our favourites being a helicopter flight over the Okavango Delta and Victoria Falls. Chris was able to tailor a perfect holiday to suit our likes, wishes and budget. Everything was planned perfectly, and the entire trip went off without any issues. Planning a trip to Africa can be daunting as there are so many options but Travel Africa made it easy, and the entire holiday was superb. We would highly recommend Chris and Travel Africa & will use their service when we return to Africa hopefully in the very near future.
Sam & Lisa - Chobe, Hwange, Victoria Falls & Kruger - July 2024Chris and Sandie were amazing to deal with and helped craft the perfect trip to Africa. All our accommodation, transfers and activities were high quality. They were easy to deal with, punctual with changes and provided tailored advice based on our requirements. Would definitely recommend using Travel Africa Your Way for any trips to Africa.
Sarah & Family - Self-Drive Botswana - July 2024We just wanted to say thank you for all your help organising our holiday! We had an absolutely awesome trip! I'm sitting here trying to whittle down my 1000 plus photos into something more manageable. I have to say, being used to "Africa time" I was expecting to be the occasional hiccup as we went along - but every transfer, every appointment happened as planned. The vehicles were great and each lodge recommended was spectacular. I have to say though, my favourite was the Chobe Elephant Camp (so I'm pleased we didn't do the trip in reverse..;-))
Shelley & Family - Self-Drive Namibia - June - July 2024This was our second trip organised by Travel Africa. We were a bit apprehensive as this was only our second trip to Africa and we were doing a self drive tour through Namibia. Everything was well organised, we stayed in some fantastic accommodation, the guides and the game reserves we stayed at were outstanding and the amount of wildlife we encountered surpassed our expectations. The self drive component was exactly as Chris had advised and we felt very comfortable throughout the holiday. We would recommend Chris and Travel Africa without any hesitation.
Chris & Sandie at Travel Africa are amazing. We had many changes (over 4 years) due to Covid and personal issues but they couldn't have been more accommodating. We covered nearly 3000kms of Sth Africa, Johannesburg, Kruger, Lapalala & Madikwe and had the most amazing trip. Chris & Sandies knowledge is amazing and our trip went without a hiccup. We couldn't recommend Travel Africa highly enough and infact are planning on having them help us with our planned trip back in 2026 which will include Tanzania for the great wildebeast migration. Thanks again Chris & Sandie for going above and beyond to give our family the trip of a lifetime.Megan & Family - Self-Drive South Africa - June - July 2024
Ken & Andrea - Self-Drive Namibia, Botswana & Zimbabwe - June - July 2024Thanks for organizing such a wonderful trip. Even after six weeks, we were still ready to just keep going. Its easy to see why so many get the Africa bug. Our highlights were Namib dunes and Deadvlei, Spitskoppe Rest Camp, Delta Rain Delta trip, Khwai/Mbudi River area, Thobolo's, and Kapula/Masuma Dam. All in all our favourite trip of all time.
Maryann & Simon - Madikwe, Victoria Falls, Chobe, Savuti & the Okavango Delta - May 2024We have just returned from our second Safari adventure in Southern Africa. We booked through Chris at Travel Africa and as with our previous trip his advice in putting together a perfect itinerary ensured the experience was memorable & perfect in every way. His local knowledge and advice proved a winner - the lodges selected were amazing, time recommended at each place ideal and the local partners used in South Africa, Zimbabwe & Botswana were exemplary in every way. Overall, this was one of the best holidays we have had & we are excited to be thinking about our next African adventure where we will definitely use Chris & the team to plan & delivery a seamless outstanding trip. Thank you Chris and the Team at Travel Africa!!
Warren & Marie - Okavango Delta, Savuti, Chobe & Victoria Falls - May 2024We found Chris online and are very glad that we did. Chris booked 3 safari parks with connecting light planes, accommodation and tours in Victoria Falls, road transfers where needed and connecting domestic flights. Nothing could have been smoother. We were met at each point and totally looked after. Initially we did not have the knowledge to decide which safari parks to go to. We simply knew we wanted to go to Botswana. Chris helped us make up our minds with information and advice. He was always at the end of the phone to answer our queries and ease our minds. Nothing was too much trouble. The safari parks he chose showed his knowledge of the area. They were superb and we had wonderful experiences tracking the animals and returning to comfortable camps afterwards.We can certainly recommend Chris and Sandie at Travel Africa … your way.
Brandon & Akhil - Victoria Falls, Chobe & Kruger - April 2024Had an absolutely amazing trip! Memories for a lifetime! Everything you arranged went exactly as per plan. Very very smooth!! No issues at all. The itinerary was great and we also managed to squeeze in a couple of extra game drives where we had blocks of spare time. Thank you once again for your patience and assistance in organizing this trip for us.
It was an incredible trip and I thank you for your help and advice in getting it sorted. Managed to see all the animals we wanted to, plus a few extra. Met some amazing people and learnt a lot about the continent. We'll be sure to speak with you when we organise our next trip, maybe Cape Town & Tanzania.
Sonali & Anita - Kenya, Victoria Falls & Botswana - April 2024Africa was truly beautiful, magnificent and restorative! I have left my heart behind on the savannah and there is this unrequited yearning for more. The warm hearted generous people we met, the breathtaking bush and diverse range of game parks we visited, the magnificent game and sightings, the early morning and arvo game drives, the African sunrises and sunsets. The bomas and warming fires! And those dusty airstrips in the middle of the bush in Chobe and Okavango Delta ……just magic!Thank you for seamlessly arranging such an amazing trip for us and for ‘hearing’ and understanding what we wanted to experience and making it happen. Your recommendations on where to visit within Kenya and Botswana, including within the Delta, were spot on. You guys were so open to our many questions, provided clear information and handled it all from start to finish! Your knowledge and experience and love for Africa were a huge benefit and gave us every confidence.
We have just completed our 5th African trip all organised by Chris & Sandie from Travel Africa. We’ve been to South Africa, Lesotho, Botswana, Eswatini (Swaziland) and Zimbabwe across these trips. Everything has been super well organised and the attention to detail is always exacting which is exactly what you need when travelling in Africa. We have done a nice mix of self driving, rest camps, luxury safari camps, bed & breakfasts, self catering apartments (in Cape Town) and on the last trip just concluded we stayed at a hotel in Cape Town for a change. We cannot recommend Travel Africa highly enough, they have been wonderful, understand the country where they have been many many times and pass on the knowledge gained.Sue & Dave Boardman - Kruger, the Garden Route & Cape Town - March 2024
We had the most fantastic experience with Travel Africa. They built a custom itinerary for our family trip to SA based on our preferences and budget. Everything was booked and organised by the agency - transfers, attractions, tickets, hotels. During our trip, everything went absolutely perfect, we couldn't have asked for more. Their suppliers on the ground in Africa were the highest quality, top service all round. Cape Town is indeed one of the most beautiful towns I ever visited, and the safari was something else. Very special, the whole family loved it and we made memories that we'll take with us forever! Chris and Sandie are a dream, easy communication, very efficient and super organised. Highly recommended!Bianca & extended family - Cape Town & Kruger - February 2024




Judy & Abbie - Chobe, Victoria Falls & Kruger - January 2024I just wanted to let you know that we had an absolutely fabulous time on our holiday to Africa! The travel arrangements that you made for us all ran very smoothly, and we greatly appreciated the advice you gave us on where to go, and the types of activities that were available (especially the white water rafting in Victoria Falls...one of my highlights!). I really can't thank you enough for all your efforts to ensure we had a wonderful trip....it really was everything I had hoped for, and more! I won't hesitate to recommend you to any friends who might be considering a trip to Africa in the future.
Best decision we made for our Africa trip was appointing Travel Africa as our booking agents. Even though I was born and raised in South Africa, we would NEVER have had the awesome experience we had, if it weren’t for Sandie and Chris. In short, they were incredible! The itineraries were extremely professional, well constructed, and the trip flowed super smoothly from start to finish for the full 2 month adventure! They put us in the most incredible lodges that far far exceeded our expectations time and time again…and everything came in on budget. Their attention to detail is second to none and there is no way that our trip would have been as enjoyable and successful had it not been for their knowledge, guidance and expertise. I cannot recommend Travel Africa highly enough! They were the difference between a nice holiday and the best holiday ever!Mark & family - Kruger, Matopos, Hwange & Victoria Falls - January 2024








Travel Africa arranged the trip of a lifetime for us to South Africa. We saw more than we’d ever hoped to see, and they listened and provided the trip based on everything WE wanted (and that would have taken a lot of patience with covid and multiple date changes involved!). It was the perfect combination of lodges and self drive, and every location and accomodation was fantastic. The instructions for driving , suggested routes and times / distances and useful info along the way was extremely helpful. It was the best family bonding experience we could have ever hoped for, the teens loved it - even when there was no wifi 😳🤣. Our stay at Kruger was amazing and we absolutely loved the accomodation you booked for us. Our highlights were seeing wild dogs and a rhino on our self drives , and our entire stay at Ekuthuleni lodge for our last few nights. I’m so glad you suggested that, as we all agreed those last three nights there were the icing on the cake! It is absolutely the best place to see rhinos 🦏 and the whole trip was absolutely perfect.Nicole & family - Self-drive Kruger, Marakele & Welgevonden - january 2024




tracy & family - Victoria Falls & chobe - december 2023 - january 2024Just wanted to drop you a quick line to thank you so much for all your help and the many emails it took to make our postponed 2020 trip a reality ….and finally happening in 2023. It was a really special trip in many ways. We had a wonderful time. The Wild Horizons operators that you used for all the transfers etc were excellent and always on time for all pick ups and all the drivers and guides were very helpful and friendly. Chobe Safari Lodge was definitely a good little treat for the two nights there and a lovely place to spend New Year’s Eve. Nice and low key enough for us! We saw a lot of wildlife even if we didn’t get to see all of the Big 5 (they said they don’t have rhino there anyway) but still it was great for our teenagers to experience seeing game in the wild. I especially enjoyed the afternoon cruise and have never seen quite so many hippos before. The birdlife around Chobe was also quite wonderful – and I wished we’d had a decent camera and not just a phone! Next time! Not sure when we will do another Africa trip but will certainly contact you again if we do – and will certainly recommend you to anyone going that way.
