Everything had been thought through and the information provided was excellent, even down to directions to get from A to B etc. All the accommodation was of the highest standard. Would recommend anyone going to Africa to book with them.

First Class

A fabulous holiday. 6 nights in The Twelve Apostles, Camps Bay, Cape Town which we would highly recommend. Wonderful setting, great staff and top class food. 3 nights at Pumba Game Reserve - extremely enjoyable and again first class staff and excellent food. Not as many animals as a safari but that is to be expected - rhinos were the highlight. One night in Jo'burg then 3 nights at Islands of Siankaba - again could not be bettered though ...

Holiday of a Lifetime!

We travelled as a family of 5 (with children aged 16, 14 and 12) to explore Cape Town and the area for 4 days then on to an unforgettable safari experience in the Madikwe Reserve. We didn't want to leave but headed off to Mauritius to the amazing Trou aux Biches to unwind and reflect on our adventures. Quite simply it was the holiday of a lifetime for us all.

Victoria Falls, Cape Town and Gondwana Safari

This was a trip of a life time for our family (kids aged 11 and 14) and it surpassed all expectations. The logistics were all perfectly planned and all the transfers and connections went really well. The scenery and animal encounters were amazing. We would love to return to both Zimbabwe and South Africa if we get a chance again in the future.

South Africa/Mauritius

we travelled from Cape Town, through the Garden Route (stopping off at Hermanus, Outsdroon and Plettenbug Bay), to Pumba Game Reserve, then to Mauritius! Superb accommodation, excellent routes and a holiday of a lifetime.

South Africa Honeymoon

We had a fantastic time on our honeymoon in South Africa. From contacting Africa Collection initially they managed to put together a holiday within our budget that met our requirements. Everywhere we stayed whilst in South Africa was above and beyond our expectations and you could see where they were chosen by Chris. The safari reserve was out of this world. Thank you so much. We want to return to Africa in the future and would definitely use ...

Shelley was so patient and helpful in the early days of organising our tour and nothing was too much trouble. The standard of accommodation was very good and we would rate them as follows; Best Guest House/Hotel - Leeu House at Franschhoek. Close Second - Blackheath Lodge Cape Town. Third place - Bridgewater Manor Knysna In last place - Oue Werf at Oudtshoorn. No provision for gluten free diet but we managed.
