The highlight of my trip had to be Gweru in Zimbabwe, it was my idea of paradise. So much to do there with the animals and the location of it was just beautiful!

Gift, our chef was fantastic! Even in the Okavango Delta with no facilities and being able to bring limited supplies, he still managed to cook up a storm!

I wanted to go to Africa ever since I can remember and going there last month far exceeded my expectations and then some! Louise was so quick to respond to any query I had and the whole booking process went very smoothly and efficiently. I was apprehensive at first booking from a website but I soon realised it was all safe and above board. Thanks again.

Tessa Z from Israel 24 Nov 2009

The trip was outstanding. Our two guides Albert and Sydney were superb in every way - interest flora and fauna - amazing organization and as people wonderful to meet. We got to places that there is no way we could have been by ourselves - Africa is totally haunting me and calling me back - Even the long distance traveling was thrilling seeing that pristine eternal landscape - From your end Louise was amazing and really helped me in every way through the planning and anxieties - so thanks to all.

Chris F (20) from United Kingdom 16 Sep 2009

Hi there. Just wanted to email you thanking you so much for the trip you organized for me. It really was a trip of a lifetime. I'm currently with my family now in Africa so internet is still hard to come by. I have been trying to think of ways to improve the trip but have found it very hard as it was all above my expectations. I will also try and post some photos as soon as possible. Thanks for everything.

Thank you for making my booking so easy and for the advice you gave me about my stay in Jo'burg too, it really made the entire experience so much more enjoyable. I've already recommended you to my friends who have plans to travel in Africa!

Tamsin C (21) from United Kingdom 10 Sep 2009

I had an absolutely fantastic trip! All of the staff at Marc's (and en route) were very helpful and friendly and the camp itself was excellent! The treehouses were really comfortable and spacious, the food was fantastic and it was great having so much wildlife in and around camp.

Rebecca H. (19) from United Kingdom 31 Aug 2009

The trip really was amazing! I got on well with everyone in the group and we saw so much it was unbelievable. There really is no place like Kruger, but i was also absolutely loving the Mkuzi reserve in Zululand where there was just no fences and everything was out in the open. The safari truck was absolutely brilliant, loving out big red van for the whole world to see and the food was fab as well.

I did have a great trip, thank you! I was satisfied with your services on such late notice. You were great and I'm just very pleased that you went the extra mile to get me on this trip last minute and deal with faxes, emails, and faith over the 3-day weekend.

Dr. Michael T. (49) from Germany 24 Aug 2009

…yes there is something else! Always I ask you a question I get a prompt and useful answer! This is the way I like it! You make things so much easier for me. Can I invite you for a dinner after the tour?

Annika C (23) from Netherlands 13 Aug 2009

Trip was absolutely amazing! I would especially like to mention our Guide, Peter, who despite a large group with a variety of ages and expectations managed to keep us all happy and excited about our trip right to the very end!

Malcolm M (48) from Ireland 21 Jul 2009

The tour was excellent. Had a great time and saw loads of stuff. I can't be complimentary enough about the crew who took exceptionally good care of us. The itinerary was well scheduled and quite varied. My only observations would be that the two nights back in Inhambane followed by one in Maputo felt a bit like treading water - but the Mozambique beaches are spectacular, so it was no hardship... Anyway, thanks for your help in organising this. It was just the break I was looking for.

...it was "ABSOLUTELY AMAZING"... from start to end we were taken care of and along the way we made more friends.

Jaz O (40) from United Kingdom 14 Jul 2009

In regard to the trip, it was "ABSOLUTELY AMAZING", and if wasnt for your exceptional service and last minute request from myself, you got me this perfect adventure at my price and my dates. for your hard work,its a big "THANK YOU".

Michael & Silke from Germany 08 Jun 2009

The trip was great! A very relaxed ride in a mokoro, followed by camping in the Okavango Delta and watching the animals on the islands was awesome!

John R (24) from Australia 29 May 2009

I had the most amazing trip! Absolutely incredible! The crew was so good. I am on a round the world trip and Africa takes the cake so far. I miss it heaps. Thank you for all your help in preparing my trip of a life time.

John R (24) from Australia 29 May 2009

I had the most amazing trip! Absolutely incredible! The crew was so good. Hesbon was a fantastic guide. He took good care of us and handled situations with some annoying passengers very well. Simon was not just a very safe driver, but he was very friendly and social also. He loved to party. Malinga, wow! Malinga is a very talented cook. I told him that I would be sending my mum to Africa for cooking lessons. I am on a round the world trip and Africa takes the cake so far. I miss it heaps. Thank you for all your help in preparing my trip of a life time.

Peter W (29) from United States 19 May 2009

The trip was really amazing. If I were to do it again, I'm not sure I would change anything. The trip met all my expectations and more besides, the group was really diverse with people from maybe more then 10 countries, and at the end, I felt like I had 20 new friends! I would recommend this trip to anyone looking for an adventure. As for suggestions, I don't have many, but one thing I would have liked to see more of is eating local foods and dishes. The meals got a little repetitive...ofcourse we did buy all the food locally, and it was more then acceptable, but I don't think we ate it the same way the locals did, and maybe not all the same stuff, which is one of the things I like to do when i'm travelling.

Ben and Eneko from Spain 07 May 2009

Just arrived from our adventure in East Africa, still thinking in shillings and the sunsets of the Indic Ocean. The tryp has been a total succes, everybody has enjoy it, the truck, driver and cook very good, better than I have thought. The route and the points visited incredibles. Really I must congratulate you and your team, Thanks a lot for your help in the organization of this journey, be sure that will be more.

Ole F from Norway 15 Apr 2009

I just want to tell you that the tour you booked for us was absolutely perfect! Africa is by far the best place we´ve been to! Thanks alot!

Simon from South Africa 12 Apr 2009

It was a fantastic start into 2009! The trip was perfect and your service is outstanding! Quick in answering, always correct answers, friendly, just special! I wished all South African companies had a service like that! Thank you very much for making it this easy to overland Africa.

Carl A from Norway 20 Mar 2009

Firstly I'd like to thank you for all your help, you've been fantastic. Secondly i'd like to give a bit of feedback, and this is by no means a complaint cos it's not really your responsibility. But you should let people know that you cannot get US dollars once you are in Zimbabwe even if you can spend it. Apparently it's a common misunderstanding. Thank you for everything.

Thomas (23) from United Kingdom 19 Jan 2009

The trip didn't fail to dissapoint in the slightest, it really was a life experience and like everyone says, you don't realise just how good it was until you get back home, sit down and realise what you've just done. I get excited telling people about the trip and have been urging all my itchy feeted friends to do the trip i've just done, i can't help myself!

Juca from Uruguay 12 Sep 2008

The okavango was the most touching part for all of us whom became friends of the tribal men and women. I had the pleasure of conducting 'my canoe' from the port to the island and carrying the girl who would pole it at the front of the mokoro.

Well i'm home now and oh how different life is now than on the road, sitting on the beach waving to everyone that passes us by..! The only thing I can say that you didn't warn me about was the this travel bug thing that you get when you get back home..! I don't think i'll be sticking around england for too much longer, I think i'll stay for the summer and then...hmmm....india..australia...?

Thomas C (23) from United Kingdom 14 Feb 2008

... a quick letter to say thank you so much for setting me up with the trip, i would say 'you have no idea how much i appreciate it' but i think you know exactly how i feel having been there yourself. But for me it was a great way of ending the trip by meeting the person who told me about it and booked it for me! So once again thank you a million for all your help and advice, it must make your job worthwhile when you can see that it makes people this happy!!

Kathleen from United States 11 Jan 2008

Simon from South Africa 12 Feb 2007
