Chris 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
Chris & Sandie were both extremely helpful and knowledgeable in regards to our recent - 29/6 to 8/7 2024 - 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.

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 3000ks 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.

Chris at Travel Africa helped organise a very memorable holiday that exceeded our expectations. 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. 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 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. Travel Africa organised a superb holiday for us and we would highly recommend Chris and Travel Africa.

Dear Chris and Sandie,We just wanted to say thank you for all your help organising our holiday! We had an absolutely awesome trip! Im 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 Bushlore 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..;-) )

Thanks to Chris at Travel Africa Your Way who found the right safari tour for me at very short notice. As a solo female traveller, first time in Africa, my focus was on seeing as much wildlife as I could in the 5 days I had available (after a conference in Johannesburg). Chris suggested a short flight to Hoedspruit and transfer to Africa on Foot - where I stayed in one of 5 huts. I loved the place, and the wildlife did not disappoint! All the staff were friendly, and the knowledgeable guides were a sheer delight to hang out with as they introduced me to wildebeest, warthogs, cute hyena pups (yes, very cute), zebras, rhinos, hippos, lions, tons of birds, kudus, impalas, giraffes, elephants, night owls, a genet and so much more. With a modest holiday budget I was treated to beyond-expectation accommodation, gourmet food, sunset drinks, pool, lounge, and outdoor fire. Thanks Chris! I now want to see more of Africa!

We 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 !!

We 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 Sandy at Travel Africa …your way

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.

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 non 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!

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 . The instructions for driving , suggested routes 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
