“I just would like to pass on our thanks for organising everything. Our tour guide Daniel is fantastic, we are having the most amazing time and couldn't rate Daniel higher. The attention to detail, the places we are staying and the activities and absolutely everything is faultless. Thank you so much for everything we are so very grateful! Thanks again!”

“Wow! I don't even know where to begin. Everything about our trip was flawless, and exactly as described. We saw dozens of lions, countless hyenas, zebras, warthogs, and hippos. We saw two cheetahs, two black rhinos, and finally, one leopard (thought we weren't going to!). Enjoyed a beautiful and challenging hike to a waterfall near Mtowombu, Tanzania. Saw stunning landscapes, and was up at sunrise most days to watch the sun come up over the Serengeti, the Masai Mara, the Ngorogoro Crater. (One of the reasons we were exhausted!). The setting up and taking down of tents, the cooking, campsite cleaning etc are all a great part of the experience -- though they certainly would not be 'for every traveler'. The group was wonderful and we created many friendships and laughed more than I can remember doing in years. I will send some photos when I get home from work. But I cannot thank you enough for facilitating this trip for us, and for answering our endless questions. I am going to recommend this trip and others to many friends (I already have one who will probably contact you about an East Africa/Kilimanjaro trip). Thanks again, and hope you're well and that you had a great trip to the farm!!”

“I have recently booked the 20 Day Cape Town to Victoria Falls overland camping trip. Huntley Cronje has been assisting me throughout this process and I would like you to know how wonderful and professional he has been. I felt totally confident and at ease with Huntley from my first contact. Nothing has been too much trouble and he has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. His professionalism has been amazing. His promptness in replying to emails is fantastic and very reassuring particularly when you are making the booking from another country. My entire experience with Huntley has been positive. I will certainly be recommending your company to my friends and I intend to book future trips through you. I hope that I will have the pleasure of being looked after by Huntley again.”

“It was really spectacular! Thanks for your tips and suggestions; I think the Botswana was just right for what I was looking for. The Botswana trip was great; the group was a nice set of people from different nationalities and the guide was awesome (Wayne). He really managed to get us into the whole bush and wildlife scene! Again thanks and if I come back for more overlanding I'll definitely let you know.”

“The trip was really great. I have really liked the experience very much! I managed to stick to the weight restrictions. It was the first time for me in Africa and I have really liked it. Am already thinking about the next destination.. Wilma really is a superb guide and the best I ever had. Her optimism and energy really were an important factor in making this trip a big success. Thanks for all your advice.”

“We just came back to Sweden after a couple of amazing weeks down on your continent. Just wanted to thank you for recommending the Botswana camping safari- those days were some of the most amazing in my life. Everything was perfect. The tour plan, the guide, etc. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is not TOO afraid of the camping part of it (I do not normally consider myself a camping person). The fact that we stayed in campsites rather than lodges really brought us close to nature. I loved every bit of it. The trip also has a very authentic feel to it- we never felt just part of the big tourist wheel. You can quote me on this!”

“Hi Huntley I hope that this email finds you well. Just wanted to thank you again for organising the overland safari-trip for us, for responding to all our questions and for inspiring us to wonders of Africa. We had a great trip on the Southern Africa Tour - and that goes for all us including the children. We ended up in a group of 15 people - including Germans, Suiss, Norwegians and Dutch people. There was one additional child 13 year old. The guide was really good - very knowledgeable and engaged. Unfortunately, part of the group (all the German-speaking ones) did not get along with him which caused a bit of conflicts on the tour. But either they had not been appropriately informed about the nature of the tour before hand or they just were not the right type of people for a group travel I do not know - anyway it just emphasises the need of appropriate preparations - which I really think that you provided! There was a lot of highlights on the tour - we saw all the wildlife we could dream about - so we had great holiday. We all fell in love with Africa and hope to be able to return one day - will make sure to include Cape town then. I you need any recommendations in any I will be happy to provide it! All the best Gertrud”

“Hi, We came back home safely, after 30 hours of traveling (Livingstone-Joburg-Dubai-?stanbul). But it was marvellous, amazing, and just like a dream. Even going to Zambia, actually. At the end I'm happy that we go to the Zambian side. Everything happened just like you said. We find a taxi very easily after crossing to Zambia and pay 40USD to the driver for Jollyboys. We liked Livingstone. We did the whole day rafting, and then the next day we took the "under spray" tour and walked over the rocks under the falls. It was amazing. And for the sunset we stayed at the "royal Livingstone" hotel. The view was so romantic and fantastic. On your left you can see the sprays coming up from the falls, in front the Zambezi river with hippos, and an amazing orange sunset. Also while walking in the national park we were guided by a local and make a chain in order to walk on the edge of the falls. Those men know what they are doing. They even took our photos by showing us the best spots. It was really fun. Even though, now, I can't believe that we all did it. I really want to thank you for your help with everything. We're so happy for being able to meet. You are always welcome to Turkey, especially ?stanbul. If you need/want anything from here just say.. Hope to see you again”

“Thanks so much for helping with advice on the trip. It was lovely to have experienced Lesotho. Lesotho is so different to South Africa.”
