A Perfect and Wonderful Experience
5/5

When I decided to plan my trip with Giltedge Africe (Southern Africa Travel), I knew nothing about the company other than the reviews I read.  Let me tell you, I would plan a trip at any time using this company after the experience I had.  Working with Robyn-Lea Meyer was wonderful.  She gave wonderful suggestions and always responded to my email questions in a very timely fashion.  Not ever being on a safari before and knowing that we wanted to go to Kruger National Park, Robyn-Lea suggested Jock Safari Lodge.  We took her suggestion and could not have been more pleased.  The accommodations are private, comfortable and in a very natural setting, the food is outstanding, and the safaris are given by guides who love their work.  Plus there are only two seats per row in the vehicles so each person has a side seat and no one is stuck in the middle.  We learned so much from our guide, Cliff, and fell in love with the total experience.  A big thank-you to Robyn-Lea for leading us in the right direction.  Everything booked by Giltedge Africa went flawlessly, the flights, the drivers/tours, etc.  On our next rip to Africa, there is no doubt we will use Giltedge Africa!  Thank you for everything!!!

Very good, they advise according to your expectations and budget.
5/5

I live in the UK and have now been using Southern Africa Travel (Giltedge) for the last few years  and found them to be very knowledgeable about Safaris, good places to stay and good accommodation. Indeed, all recommendations have been spot on. Communications have generally been good though on occasions a bit of a delay I guess due to workload. On the whole, I would definitely recommend as I have already done so with friends who have used their service recently.

We worked with Monique who customized our tour of Cape Town and the Sabi Sands Safari. The resorts were outstanding, food was terrific, the guides were wonderful and every pickup and drop-off went exactly according to plan. Would highly recommend.

Trip of a lifetime
5/5

Monique did an outstanding job in helping us plan this complicated African adventure.
All of the plans were executed with no problems at all far exceeding our expectations.
It made for a most relaxing and exciting trip as we were confident that the trip would proceed smoothly.
She selected excellent tour guides and activities at all levels of participation that were a great fit for our group.
We highly recommend Monique and her colleagues.

Wonderful Tour Arranged by Giltedge Africa
5/5

My wife and I cannot say enough about our 15-day tour to South Africa and Zambia arranged by Philippa Lawrence of Southern Africa Travel/Giltedge Africa. Philippa's recommendations were spot-on and every aspect of our trip was well thought out. She went out of her way to listen to our wishes and she kept us fully informed of all details. All of the properties were stayed in were luxurious and we experienced absolutely amazing safaris. I would highly recommend Philippa to anyone interested in experiencing what southern Africa has to offer.

Great planning/ providing sufficient time each excursion (scenery, history, safaris) & communication
5/5

Excellent experience! Communication before, during and after the trip was most helpful and timely. The varied excursions were wonderful and well planned (individually or in a small group). The 2 safaris offered two different, wonderful experiences. The trip definitely lived up to my expectations (and more)! Thank you to Nikki Theron.

Excellent tour experiences, thanks to our agent, Nikki's direction, efficiency and professionalism.
5/5

Our agent, Nikki Theron, was always prompt with her replies to our research questions. This enabled us to formulate a series of safaris that suited our wishes. Nikki always contributed valid options, if requested, which resulted in our 4 safaris (over 9 years), to various parts of Africa, being top quality. On each adventure, the accommodation, camp locations, transportation and guides exceeded our expectations, leaving us with the continued desire to return to Africa.

Nikki is an amazing asset to Giltedge and delivered service beyond our expectations. Every little detail of the trip not only was successful but truly enhanced our experience and allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worry. I shared our experience with our friends and they also booked a trip with Nikki/Giltedge and equally had an amazing experience. Thank you for giving us a trip of a lifetime.

Our second African safari with Giltedge and another excellent experience with them.
5/5

We worked with Sandi Bird of Giltedge. This was our 2nd African safari planned with her expertise. This time we went to Botswana for the incredible wildlife. Sandi was flexible with our requirements and proposed a fantastic itinerary for us. Everything worked out very well in the end and this allowed us to fully enjoy a worry free safari. Her itinerary allowed us to see and experience a range of environments and habitats in Botswana that maximised our time and wildlife encounters in this amazing country. Charter flight transfers between camps were seamless and hassle free. We would not hesitate to recommend Sandi of Giltedge Africa to any of our friends and in fact we do plan on traveling to Africa again in future with Giltedge.
