I had to organise a safari trip for my dad and two of his friends. Sandra at Traipsing Africa was very helpful in giving us a few options in Pilanesberg and booking a trip to Black Rhino Game Lodge. They had an amazing time there. The service from Traipsing was perfect: Sandra always answered our questions quickly, did the check ins for the flights, and contacted us to make sure the trip was fine. Very professional. I will surely use their service again.

Wow! We dealt with Sandra from start to finish and what an incredible person she is. We had lots of questions and she was so quick to respond. We stayed at The Hide and her communication with them was fantastic. We did our own transfer which got a bit messy, but she was with us every step of the way making sure we were safe and reassuring us that our host was waiting to collect us. Thank you so much Sandra for your kindness. We truly appreciate it and our stay at The Hide was above and beyond what we hoped for.

Exquisite tour at the Lush Private Lodge, an all-inclusive luxurious lodge in the Pilanesberg Reserve (No malaria). Sandra was extremely helpful and accommodated all our needs including transportation to and from the lodge. Sandra was very much responsive. Communications were clear.

Everything developed as planned. No hiccups. Sandra also helped us with suggestions for pre and post safari experiences in Johannesburg and Cape Town. The Gold restaurant in Cape Town is a MUST. We also discovered the Pot Luck Club in Johannesburg (Rosebank), a gourmet experience in tapa sizes.

The team, whether rangers or staff, at the lodge cannot be described in words. Qualifiers are just not sufficient. We were treated beyond what you can imagine. This is a one in a lifetime experience. You might as well treat yourself at this lodge.

I highly recommend Traipsing Africa’s Safaris and Tours.

I came across TA through a google search and contacted them for a 14 night itinerary after booking flights. Within 24 hours Sandra had put together an itinerary that suited us perfectly. Safari, Rovos, Vic Falls and wine region in Franschhoek. Everything was absolutely seamless. Transfers were spot on and the chosen accommodation was great. Sandra also provided us with information on the areas that we were staying in. Communication was clear and concise and emails were responded to within 24 hours. We can’t fault anything about the service that they provided. Thank you!

Sandra did a wonderful job organising our safari for us. Everything was managed expertly and we enjoyed our trip

We would like to thank Traipsing Africa’s Safaris (Sandra), for recommending Tambuti Lodge.

Myself and my husband, had an incredible weekend in the bush!

The hospitality received from everyone, the drives, delicious food, cozy accommodation,

and the romantic dinner, made for an unforgettable experience.

We are very grateful for the memories, and are looking forward to many more!…

It was the perfect escape to recharge and unwind.

he booking was easy and the communication was quick and excellent.

Our safari was fantastic including transfer from hotel to our driving lounge.

We had a wonderful time in South africa! The safari lodge was absolutely perfect and Sandra was such a great help to us! We missed our connection flight in johannesburg because of a delay and Samdra helped us to find another flight so we could arrive the same day! She was there for us and respondet immediately in the middle of the night!! What a service!

Thank you very much!

The Lodge was lovely and we saw all kinds of animals! 12/10 would book again!

I just wanted to thank you for helping us to have a wonderful vacation! Everything went seamlessly and we totally enjoyed the experience. The drivers were on time and very knowledgeable and friendly and the resorts were great. We will definitely reach out to you again when we decide to come back to Africa!

Thank you again

Sandra from Traipsing Safaris was incredibly efficient from start to finish. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for safari !

Our trip was well planned by Sandra and she made a perfect trip for us. Always answering our questions on time and putting us at ease so whole trip went so smoothly! I highly recommend Sandra and would use her services again. She was so patient and kind and alway happy to hear from us. Thank you Sandra for making our trip so amazing!

Sandra promptly provided me with options and worked with me to massage these into an itinerary that met my requirements. I appreciated the professional manner in which Sandra stayed in touch with me leading up to my holiday including speaking to me by phone to run through any last minutes questions I had. I appreciated Sandra telling me that she is particularly interested in ensuring that females travelling solo feel safe and have the best experiences. With my trip, these goals were certainly achieved! My holiday went without any hiccups and at all times I felt safe with the local drivers and they made a point of ensuring I felt safe! I met some lovely people.

I chose to visit three different national parks so that I could experience more of what South Africa has to offer. The lodges suggested by Sandra exceeded all of my expectations and the standard of accommodation, meals and safari drives were fantastic! In addition, the staff were so friendly and orientated to ensure you had the best experience and wanted for nothing! Each lodge was unique (Sabi Sands – Arathusa Safari Lodge, Pilanesberg National Park – Tambuti Lodge, and Madikwe National Park – Motswiri Lodge). It’s impossible to choose one over the other!

The decision to have a luxury and indulgent safari holiday was also my 60th Birthday gift to me as I was celebrating this milestone whilst in South Africa. Sandra organised, unbeknownst to me, for each of the lodges to help me celebrate my birthday. I was treated to the most wonderful birthday cakes and singing from the local staff. These personal events contributed to a memorable birthday and added to my overall experience of my safari adventure and holiday in South Africa! Thank you Sandra for all the beautiful surprises!

Overall, I chose Traipsing Africa Safari’s and Tours to organise my holiday because I was overwhelmed with the options and how to pull a holiday together. they had such positive reviews from other clients, that I felt I just had to approach them. Sandra did a fantastic job and took all the logistical organising and worry away from me. I just had to sit back and enjoy which Sandra kept emphasising to me was all I needed to do because she was taking care of everything else! I’m extremely pleased to have chosen Traipsing Africa Safaris and Tours to arrange my holiday in South Africa and have already recommended them to friends. I will definitely call on Sandra’s expertise to arrange future South African Safaris for me. Many thanks Sandra to you and your team for THE most wonderous holiday!

We booked Tanbuti Lodge in Pilansberg for a 2 night stay in 2024.

After reviewing a multitude of different options and tour operators we decided to book with Traipsing Africa’s Safaris. We chose them because:

a) They answered our initial request promptly

b) The quality of information provided was excellent

c) they answered all of our additional questions – nothing seemed too much trouble

d) The cost was extremely reasonable compared to other operators.

We were told that the lodge was 5* luxury and it really was. Everything was just perfect, from the welcome, the hospitality, the food and of course the safari

We requested and were sent driving directions to the lodge also

We would have no hesitation recommending this tour operator and if we do another safari will definately use them again

Our holiday was great thanks to Traipsing Africa! Sandra helped us really good by helping us pick the right accommodation and flights which were the most convenient for our stay.

The accommodation was very neat and clean and everything was available. The food at the Buffalo Rock camp in the Kruger Park was great, including the chef. Due to various allergies we could not eat everything, but the chef had no problem to take that in consideration and if needed cook something else. Overal it was a great experience, far above our expectations!

Sandra was just amazing in helping us organize our Honeymoon. We knew vey little about South Africa and she helped us out in defining the WHOLE trip, not only the safari part of it. It was just perfect! She would reply any day, any time, just giving us the confidence and support we needed. Defnatly recommending to friends and other travellers.

Sandra from Traipsing Africa’s Safaris was amazing. She provided a few options and differing price points and gave some helpful suggestions. Compared to the other quotes her was amazing. We got to go to a small luxury lodge for the same or less than others quoted for good but not as great options.

Communication was perfect. The drivers to and from the lodge were such good fun.

Sandra also provided some helpful info for the rest of our trip despite us organising this ourselves.

Absolutely brilliant and would 100% use her again,

Hi Sandra, I just wanted to say thank you for organising our splendid trip to Idube. We had real 5* experience, the staff were lovely, the rooms excellent, and the food was worthy of a Michelin star. We had a perfect time. Thank you. Bob

Booked 3 days/2 nights at the Black Rhino Game lodge through Traipsing Africa and Sandra. Everything from request to payment and transport to and from JNB went very smoothly. Our stay at the Black Rhino was amazing, with wonderful game drives, nice accomodation, good service and good food. Would absolutely recommend!

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

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.

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!

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!!

Excellent local knowledge with great advice and suggestions. Everything went like clockwork. We have no hesitation in recommending Traipsing Africa to any if our friends seeking to visit South Africa in future.

Sandra hat für uns eine 12tägige Reise zusammengestellt, ganz nach unseren Wünschen mit Hilfe vieler Vorschläge ihrerseits. Alles hat bestens geklappt und Sandra war auch während der Reise immer erreichbar. Wir hatten eine fantastische Zeit in einem wunderschönen Land! Vielen Dank!

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.

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.

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.

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!

From the time I decided to use you to arrange for my husband’s 60th, you communicated, you answered my questions and any concerns I had….Sandra is surely a star !! Thank you for making our trip so breathtakingly beautiful….

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!

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, 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

Mabula Game Lodge

Great for the family, wonderful food. The lodging was exceptional. Easy to get to. Beautiful surroundings. Worth every penny.

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!

The tour operator is amazing and Traipsing is very accommodating. Sandra our coordinator will go the extra mile to make sure everything in order. She is very helpful and responded very quickly with our request and inquiry

Booked a 3 night safari to Umkumbe bush lodge, Sabi sands, outer Kruger via Traipsing Africa. Easy to book, able to change dates and traveller numbers. We felt the trip was great value for money. Transferring funds was also done with a minimum of fuss (always a fraught experience when transferring money overseas). We loved our stay at Umkumbe Bush Lodge.

Trip also included transfers there and back with Just Transfers. Again an easy and smooth transaction.

Thank you Sandra for helping us with a great trip.

Highly recommend

Sandra Nicol was our assistant and she perfectly adviced us about the areas and lodges. We gave her some conditions (no fences lodge, off-road driving, ope car, etc) and she propose us wonderful lodges. Everithing was perfect during our trip :)

Traipsing Africa’s Safaris and Tours is amazing! My wife and I went to South Africa to celebrate our honeymoon and Sandra (responsible for Traipsing) helped us a lot! She managed to book a safari at the lodge we wanted, organized all the transfers, helped us to buy our airplane tickets, suggested restaurants and things to do in South africa after the safari, and the most amazing of all: she was available wia Whatsapp or email almost 24 hours per day! In addition, it is also important to tell that the price was the best among all the companies! The experience was wonderful and I highly recommend Traipising for all travelers. Sandra and all employees of Traipsing, thank you very much for this amazing experience!

This was a wonderful experience all the way around for us. Sandra was so helpful in finding exactly what we were looking for on our trip. She went above and beyond anything we could have imagined. She was prompt answering our, plethora of, questions and very patient with us while we figured out what we wanted. Would use her again in a heartbeat.

It was very easy and comfortable to arrange the Safari through Traispsing Africa. We got a bunch of options to choose from right off the bat and alternatives when things didn’t match our dates or requirements.

The safari itself and lodge that we eventually chose were amazing and we had a great expetience

Perfect. That’s all I need to say about this company. But because it was such a fantastic experience I wanna make sure that I see more. From start to finish our experience with this company was superb. We were able to have input on every aspect of the trip with the guidance of the local expert Sandra, who is so kind and so patient and such a pleasure to interact with. She spent so much time helping us examine every minute of the trip and how to best utilize our time and how to best include everything we wanted. I can’t even count up all the hours she spent with us to design this trip. My father has disabilities and my mother is also elderly. She helped us navigate and set up this whole trip in a way that was extremely comfortable and easy for them to still enjoy every part of the trip. I can’t recommend this company enough. All tour companies should strive for what they accomplished.

traipsing Africa’s Safaris, is the best travel agency.

they helped us to made our dreams come true, the service, the attention is by far the best I have ever had.

I highly recommend them.
