Sandra was great in coordinating my safari trip, arranging for transfers, and clarifying any questions we had at short notice. Would recommend :)

Sandra from Traipsing Africa has been incredibly helpful from the moment I was first in touch.

March 19, 2024

I contacted two or three safari operators to begin with, from a position of ignorance, and the one that immediately impressed me was Traipsing Africa, and I looked no further. Sandra responded within minutes and took a great deal of trouble in finding out what we were looking for and guiding us through the process. We discussed the options for our stay on a reserve and she recommended one in the Eastern Cape which turned out to be a huge success. We spoke often on the phone whilst preparing our itinerary, and she answered all our questions and allayed any worries we had with clear information, good advice and endless charm.

I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Excellent service

Booked a wonderful 4days 3 night stay at Ukumbee Bush Lodge with Traipsing. The service provided by Sandra was excellent. She was very attentive and arranged a hassle free trip for me and husband. We thoroughly enjoyed our Safari from the airport pick up to the lodge followed by an incredible experience at Sabi Sands. Thank you to Traipsing for making a memorable trip for us!

Dream makers

March 13, 2024

Dee-Anne , Nic, Chris and Silence actually made all of our dreams come true in this 4 day experience. From check in to check out every wish you have they will make come true… as humanly possible! From seeing the Big 5 in one game drive to the very details on your favorite drink or snack for sundowners and sunups. We were thoroughly impressed and well taken care of. The animals were plenty and the food and lodge accommodations excellent!!

Would highly recommend getting in touch with Sandra at Traipsing if you are looking to organise a safari. She went above and beyond in helping sort the finer details of our trip. Sandra recommended the lodges that were most suited to our trip. She was then happy to answer any additional questions about our trip after booking and made herself available whenever needed. Thanks again!

Everything was perfect! We were very supported with all of our questions and their recommendations and tips were great. I will do a safari again and book through them again.

Amazing trip

September 23, 2023

We had an unbeatable experience with Traipsing Africa. Sandra, our travel agent was always willing to answer any of our questions right away. The lodges she recommended to us were wonderful and charming. Our honeymoon has been perfect thanks to trusting this company and we will surely repeat.

Life saver when planning a safari

August 30, 2023

Coming across Traipsing Africa was a life saver when planning a safari during our 3 week vacation in South Africa. Sandra was always super helpful with finding us a safari + accommodation which fits our budget. While preparing this vacation, Sandra was always happy to answer any questions related to South Africa.

I would totally recommend Traipsing and will certainly make use of their services in the future.

Absolutely incredible

August 16, 2023

Our tour agent, Sandra, from Traipsing Africa is absolutely incredible! Possibly one of the best people I have ever dealt with which made our African Safari and first trip to South Africa so memorable.

Sandra has excellent customer service, gives very timely replies, and is always willing to go above and beyond, just as everyone else has said on their website. She made all the necessary arrangements for us at our safari lodge and answered all the questions that we had.

We were a bit unhappy at an experience at our lodge and Sandra immediately contacted the manager to rectify it. It was indeed worthwhile going through an agent as she made sure we had a truly magical experience and checked with us often to ensure that the entire experience lived up to our expectations.

Traipsing truly goes above and beyond to please and I can’t recommend them enough to family and friends. Do not hesitate to book with them – you will not regret!

The best experience of my lifetime!!!

July 13, 2023

I recently had the pleasure of booking with Traipsing. I am SOO happy I did. Sandra is AMAZING. I was a single female traveler and was nervous to travel alone. However, Sandra went above and beyond to help me. I had the opportunity to meet her and Jason. I am so happy I did. They are definitely people I will always remember and forever be grateful for.

This company have staff members who were not only professional but also genuinely friendly and approachable. They took the time to listen to my needs and preferences, offering valuable recommendations and suggestions to enhance my booking. It was evident that they had a deep understanding of their offerings and were passionate about what they do.

The booking process itself was effortless and efficient. The staff members were efficient in handling all the necessary paperwork and details, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish. They were thorough in explaining all the terms and conditions, leaving no room for confusion or surprises.

What truly set this booking place apart was their commitment to going the extra mile. They surprised me with personalized touches throughout my stay, making me feel like a valued and cherished guest.

I highly recommend using them to anyone looking for a memorable booking experience. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

The service and attention to detail you could ever wish for.

June 26, 2023

We approached Sandra and her team at Traipsing Africa to help with an itinerary for our first trip to South Africa, her local knowledge was extensive and her advice invaluable from the initial booking to the lead up to our holiday and even when travelling Sandra was very approachable and her travel arrangements we all first class. If you are considering a trip I would highly recommend Traipsing Africa.

Sandra was friendly, informative and very responsive

May 8, 2023

Sandra, from Traipsing Africa organised my husband and I trip to Sabi Sands. We had the best trip! She listened to everything we were looking for and suggested the perfect matches for what we wanted.

The transfers were perfect, punctual and really comfortable and the lodge was an unforgettable experience. We saw the big five in one day but I think we were very lucky with that.

I have already recommend Traipsing Africa to a friend who wants to do a Safari. Really good! Will definitely use again.

Victoria Fox - GB

Excellent attention to detail

The organsiation of the safari was first class and the staff on the trip arranged for us could not be more helpful

Steve and Ruth Cooke - GB

Excellent both in the planning and during the trip

February 24, 2023

Sandra was helpful and responsive from the moment we started planning and throughout our trip.

She went above and beyond what we could ever expect at all times and we cannot recommend her enough.

If you are looking for a tour planner/adviser/operator stop looking – you have just found the one you need.

Sandra Nicol was there for every need.

February 7, 2023

We could not be more pleased with the quick responses and suggestions from Sandra Nicol for our African Safari. The Safari Lodge she

suggested was beautiful with top notch service. She didn’t stop at only booking the reservations but she also checked us in to our flights.

If there was something we needed we would text and we would get instant answers. She even located a camera we left in a car and

returned it to us. You could not have anticipated such good service or gotten better service.

James and Dorothea Klamfoth - Philadelphia USA

Very efficient tour operator

February 6, 2023

Sandra organised our trip to Mabula Game Lodge, which we enjoyed very much. She answered my queries on the trip very quickly and was extremely helpful. Everything worked like clockwork. We really enjoyed Mabula Game Lodge and the safaris were very good. Our driver, TK, who took us to the Lodge and back again to the airport was on time and very good company. Very pleased with the whole experience.

Pauline Cherrington - UK

Amazing, excellent communication and service

January 30, 2023

Sandra is a true professional and her communication and level of detail from our initial enquiry was exceptional.

We were really impressed with Elephant Plains Lodge in Sabi Sands. It really was more than we expected, from the accommodation to the staff and food, everything was just perfect.

Thank you so much for your wonderful service, it has really been a great experience for both of us and we have recommended you to all our friends and family and look forward to travelling with you again in future :)

Fast, efficient, polite and was an expert on safari tours

January 17, 2023

Excellent service from Sandra. Within less than an hour I had several options to choose from and I was provided with all the details, costs and recommendations. It was incredibly fast and efficient and Sandra thought of everything – including even small things like arranging for meals on route. I could not have asked for more. Other companies could learn from the wonderful customer service – it was perfect and I would use the company again. Highly recommended to anyone. If you want someone to trust to deliver your holiday for you – then Traipsing is it.

Communicative, knowledgeable tour company that truly cares

December 30, 2022

Working with Sandra at Traipsing Africa was an absolute pleasure. She clearly and promptly laid out our lodge options when I inquired on SafariBookings.com and even reached out to some of the lodges personally to see if they could accommodate our group of 3. We ended up opting for a beautiful 4-day safari at Safari Plains lodge in Mabula Game Reserve and were so glad we took her advice on booking this place. I’ve been on several safaris now, and this might’ve been my favorite! Such great value for money, and even better, Traipsing Africa takes all of the stress out of it by arranging round-trip transfers and everything at the lodge. I felt supported knowing Sandra was available via email and WhatsApp throughout our stay! I would certainly book through this tour company again, and urge those looking for a company who truly cares and will be available throughout your stay to book with them too! I prefer them to those larger companies who look at you like just another booking and don’t give you as much personalization or attention.

Sandra is the best travel agent one could ask for!

November 28, 2022

This is the first time I used a travel agent for my trip and I’m really glad I did! From curating safari lodges to flights and immigration logistics, Sandra was on top of everything and helping me with every issue we encountered, especially since post covid travel wasn’t smooth sailing. We had a safari experience that we will remember for the rest of our life. Thank you Sandra!

Wenyuan Wu and Kevin Nicholson - Seattle USA

Very accommodating and will go extra to make sure you have a great experience.
