African Safari - September 2013

Reviewed on: 20 Sep 2013
I could have have even imagined the experience that awaited us. The first night on a game drive we experienced watching lions eating a kill, so close you could smell the animals. All other animal siteings were equally as exciting. The lodging were excellent, service was first class and the people were wonderful. Cannot wait to go again. Post Haste Travel & African Travel did a fantastic job.!!!

Our African Travel experience was fantastic. We didn't know what to expect, but having said that, our African experience was far and away more than we could have dreamed. The game drives and safari hotels were all great. WE couldn't have planned this trip alone, so the African Travel Inc. portion was vital to our having a great time, which we certainly did.

African Answers .was very easy to work with and ALWAYS available for questions. My contact at Africa Answers was Rowan and he did a great job;
I was taken care of from the minute I stepped off the plane until I left the country. A person was assigned to me in both countries I visited. People who listened, were on time or early for pickups and very knowledgable about every portion of the area I was vacationing in. My last day in country I was not feeling well, so on the fly I asked to drop something that had been planned for me to do and instead just find a place to rest. The guys that Africa Answers was working with took care of everything.

When traveling in the Middle East, you want a tour operator with experience to make sure that there are no issues; African Travel is such a company. All of their employees were professional, experienced, and helpful.
All of our guides were well-informed and helpful. Of particular note was our guide from Luxor to Aswan, Abdelrahim Ahmed Khalil. Whereas our Cairo guide, Wael Al Elaimy, told us how much to tip the bathroom attendants, Abdelrahim (Abdou) provided us with change so that we didn't need to over tip. Abdou also provided us with annotated maps of areas for which he was not allowed to accompany us, briefing us prior to entry on what were must-see items.
Our accommodations were generally five-star, e.g. Fairmont Amman, Cairo Four Seasons, Moevenpick Petra. The Hilton Dead Sea, however, did not impress having issues with delivering hot water to our and our travel companions' rooms.

Great trip overall! Loved our accommodations in Victoria falls and Pinda! They were amazing! The Cape Town accommodations were great as two of our rooms were upgraded. One wasn’t and it was a bit disappointing. Very outdated and cold. The gym was under construction and also disappointing.
African travel did a good job of responding to a request for a driver on our free day and that worked really well. However, our request to consider private flights was disappointing. I asked 2-3 days in advance of travel, waited to respond and then said they couldn’t get an answer for another day, and then said we couldn’t get a credit for our planned transportation due to it being under 24 hours. Also, we spent time flying in and out of Cape Town multiple times when we could have had our Pinda portion moved to the end of our trip, we would have spent much less travel time.
Also liked having someone meet us at the airports but often had multiple people which wasn’t needed and felt excessive.

African Safari- Kenya
By: Tuck
Reviewed on: 23 Oct 2025
Our experience with African travel was wonderful. Joseph and John were the tour guides for our two jeeps. They took great care of us from the minute they picked us up at the hotel to the minute they dropped us off at the airport. We never had to worry about a thing!! We were extremely happy with this safari and will highly recommend African travels. We hope to use them again in the future.

We were very pleased with our trip.
Our guides were the best!!
The only thing that was disappointing is the food at our Savora lodges we stayed at.

Amazing trip to Tanzania
By: Julie

African Travel did a fantastic job organizing the details of our trip. We had many parts of Tanzania we wanted to visit and their on the ground team didn't miss a step. There was always a guide or person at our arrival and locations letting us know what next steps were or assisting us when needed. Fantastic!
