An Unforgettable Safari

I just wanted to thank you for putting together an unforgettable safari, and my first! I saw all of the big 5 and it was very exciting. The whole experience was incredible and everything went very smoothly, so thank you for organising everything so efficiently. I would definitely use your services again and can’t wait for my next safari in Sabi Sands

The Safari was Wonderful

Thank you so much for arranging it all! We saw the big 5 in the 2 days! We shared the vehicle with another family who was nice and we switched off seats. We got incredibly close to the animals which was absolutely amazing!

Elizabeth

Thanks again for all your help

First, I had a wonderful time in Zimbabwe & Botswana. If the trip to and from US wasn’t so gruelling, I’d be in Africa more often. I loved the nightly hippo serenade off the river at Mana Pools, saw wonderful lions, painted dogs, hyenas, elephant sightings in Okavango Delta and more.

Thanks again for all your help. The internal travel connections happened smoothly

Perfect bespoke South Africa Safari

Michelle helped me plan the holiday of a lifetime for my wife, three teenage children and I in August 2023. When we landed at the airport, we were met by a driver and from that moment onwards, the itinerary ran faultlessly. Drivers were always on time, lodges were arranged perfectly (and they were beautiful lodges!)

I wholeheartedly recommend Michelle and Explore and Travel Africa to you for your next African adventure!

She was super friendly and interested in tailoring a bespoke experience based on my interests and budget, as well as her own vast experience. I thoroughly enjoyed my safari experience as well as the lodges she organized. It really couldn’t have been a better trip.
