Travel Africa

We've just returned from a family trip to South Africa. What an experience! After trying to piece it together ourselves and not getting anywhere for about 12 months, we stumbled across Chris & Sandie and they delivered us the perfect trip. Everything worked and we had the trip of a lifetime. looking forward to booking our next adventure....

Our 25 nights on self-drive safari was the major highlight of our whole 3 month Africa and Europe experience. We had never done any 4x4ing, nor been to those countries before, so we put ourselves in Travel Africa's hands and they delivered! We were consistently impressed with the smooth logistics and excellent choice of accommodations. They even took care to select us prime individual campsites (or tents) within each property where relevant. The itinerary document they provided was very helpful - in fact we found the written directions easier to follow than Tracks4Africa and more reliable than google maps. The suggestions on what to do in each place were also a great starting point. Having not been to the region before, the choices for what to do and where to stay were a bit overwhelming, but the itinerary Travel Africa put together for us was a perfect balance between wildlife and culture, parks and towns, remote and luxurious. We can't wait for the next time and heartily recommend them!

Weve just come back from an amazing holiday visiting Kruger, Victoria Falls, Botswana and Cape Town. We wanted to do a self-drive drive through Botswana so that we could spend as long as we wanted to at each place to give us a chance to take some photos. Chris from Travel Africa arranged all of the bookings for us and provided us with a very thorough guide for everywhere we went. It made it so easy. The accommodation was just what we needed, and vehicle hire and transfers were seamless. Kruger was great, our time through Khwai, Moremi and Chobe were fantastic. We saw lots of game. One of the highlights was Magotho, where we had daily sightings of lions and leopards driving along the Khwai River. We saw heaps of elephants, hippos, zebras, buffaloes and even painted dogs. We also have some really good photos to remember it. Another, highlight was Thobolos on the edge of Chobe National Park, it was beautiful sitting on the veranda eating dinner watching the animals come for their daily drink. It was an incredible trip all round. We can't thank Chris from Travel Africa enough for all of his assistance in preparing our holiday. Especially, as we had the whole trip organised for May next year and at the last minute brought it forward to September this year. Thank you, it was a great time away. We are already thinking of where to go for our next one. Too many options..

Our family of four just returned from a 30 day self drive camping trip from Windhoek to Johannesburg via Botswana and Victoria Falls. After trying (and failing) to organise my own itinerary I contacted Travel Africa Your Way and had the trip planning done by Chris. I cannot recommend Chris highly enough, he has been extremely helpful and provided excellent route planning and communication through the whole process of the trip. The fact that he has travelled to Africa extensively with his own three children really helped to dispel any fears about travelling with our own primary aged kids. His input allowed us peace of mind and ease of decision making which was highly valuable as we drove 8000km across countries we were unfamiliar with. We have returned from Africa with a definite want to return in the not so distant future!

Have just returned from a fabulous trip to the Okavango Delta, Botswana and South Africa with friends from Aus and the UK - what a magical journey! I am well-travelled and normally a great planner, but 15 months out, the thought of trying to organise journeys across the great continent of Africa from Australia was just a bit too challenging, until I stumbled across Chris and Travel Africa Your Way in Sydney! From my first contact with Chris, every detail of our customized travel was meticulously planned, checked, confirmed and re-checked again. The personal one-on-one service made such a difference - Chris has a lovely communication style and is very patient :) - nothing was ever a problem and all communication was done via email due to busy schedules. Our arrival, tips, transfers, transport, hire van (brand new), distances we needed to travel, accommodation and local recommended sightings were perfect! Our party of 6 were extremely impressed and thankful, and wow Africa, what a beautiful country and people. Something we will never forget - so put it on your bucket list if you haven't already, and contact Chris for a perfectly customized experience.
