Guest Stories

The difference is personal

No one can describe a safari better than the people who travelled with us. These are their words.

"I was trying to describe how incredible our trip to Namibia and Cape Town was to some people I met on the trail today, but couldn't possibly provide a description which gave it justice. You went above and beyond to make sure that everything was perfect. It is impossible to thank you enough for all that you did. Every detail of the trip was perfect."

"The arrangements made to be ferried from one lodge to the other was flawless and the accommodation was beyond our expectations. The flights over the Delta were spectacular. We can highly recommend Actually Africa as a reliable and trustworthy company."

"Usually I do months and months of independent research and planning for a trip. This time, I left it up to Jake as the destination expert to come up with the best itinerary and he did not disappoint!"

"Cannot recommend Actually Africa enough - they created the best trip of my life in Botswana … It doesn't feel like your standard safari - they really know all of the camps and lodges and are able to create something really special."

"Jake was great, patient and responsive. He facilitated the right choices for our family group and dealt with small issues perfectly. We were a group of 10, and we had a fantastic trip to the Delta, staying at Dukes camp and Sable Alley."

"Jake knows the local people, the guides, the lodges and the game reserves of southern Africa and beyond. He takes time to get to know clients and understand the types of experiences they seek. … I can't think of any way that our experience could have been better."

"We've spent much of our lives on game farms in South Africa but the safari viewing in Kwai was just next level. … From touchdown in Maun we could just relax and know that our bush airplane was ready to go … and all the other transfers were taken care of."
