From the start of our holiday search we have had a great experience. Lisa and Nadine pointed us gently in the right direction for our specific needs and they were absolutely on the money and reassured us at every point. Everything was smooth and our Safari experience in both Pilanesberg and Madikwe was absolutely perfect. All in all we were very happy with our choice to use African Family Safaris. We felt safe and relaxed and loved every moment. Thank you!

We went on a 10-day trip through Botswana with African Family Safaris and were completely thrilled. The trip was perfectly organized from start to finish – we didn't have to worry about a thing and were able to enjoy the safari to the fullest.
The lodges were excellently chosen: beautifully located, comfortable, and ideal for experiencing Botswana's nature up close. We can wholeheartedly recommend African Family Safaris and would travel with them again anytime.

My husband and I chose South Africa and Zimbabwe for our honeymoon. We simply spoke to Gareth at African Family Safaris to explain a little bit about ourselves and what we were looking for. He created a custom package for us, much better than we would have created ourselves.
Thank you African Family Safaris for an incredible honeymoon - we will undoubtedly be back for more of Africa!

To say the least, it was a very exciting and exclusive, and we were well taken care of by the entire crew.
I wish we had more time, and more animals, but this will always be never enough 🙂

We were quite late in planning our safaris… actually we arrived in Cape Town without any plan… Lisa and her colleagues from African Family Safaris planned a tailored itinerary for us in 24 hours spanning from Kruger to Victoria Falls, Chobe and Okavango Delta. Accommodation was great, the guides were very knowledgeable, and transportation was impeccable. We had wonderful experiences and we are looking forward going back to Africa! Thank you again Africa Family Safaris!

I used African Family Safaris for my cousin travelling to Africa. Just a great experience all round! Professional, full of ideas and options, communication was clear and quick, and best of all the lodges / experiences that my cousin experienced will last them a lifetime!

This safari was unforgettable. The team really took the time to understand what kind of experience we were after—and then somehow managed to make it even better. We wanted something immersive and close to nature, and what we got was breathtaking landscapes, intimate wildlife encounters, and incredibly warm hospitality. Every lodge, guide, and detail felt carefully chosen. It wasn't just a holiday—it was something we'll be talking about for years to come.

African Family Safaris was amazing! We told them we wanted somewhere quiet and off the beaten path, and they absolutely nailed it. They found us the perfect hidden spot in Namibia — peaceful, beautiful, and just what we hoped for. Everything was well organized, and the whole trip felt really special. Couldn’t have asked for more!

If you want a trip that's fit to your style, its this. It was really cool! Big fan of well-organized trips, even when plans go sideways sometimes. But for this one, I was genuinely impressed and so glad I was part of it. So if you can, go for it. 5/5.

Our experience with African Family Safaris was truly outstanding. They took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and went the extra mile to make it happen. We asked for a peaceful and secluded getaway, and they found us a breathtaking, off-the-beaten-path spot deep in Namibia.
John / Visited: May 2025
My family have been planning an African safari for three years - a bucket list trip - we wanted something a bit off the beaten path so we would have a more boutique experience and in Namibia. African Family Safari put together an unbelievable itinerary and our kids will be talking about this trip the rest of their lives. Exactly what we had hoped! Wholeheartedly endorsed!

Our experience with African Family Safaris was wonderful. This was the highlight of our honeymoon. We were looking for something truly special—remote, peaceful, and deeply connected to nature. The team really listened and understood what we were after. They delivered a hidden gem tucked away in the heart of Namibia. Every detail of the trip was thoughtfully planned, from the location to all services. It felt like every moment was crafted just for us.
The landscapes were breathtaking, the accommodations were intimate and luxurious, and the sense of tranquility was exactly what we needed. A big thanks to African Family Safaris Team!

We had the most amazing family experience. From initial conversation through to the support mid-trip. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me and the family; but I want to do it all again.
Gareth understood our requirements (and budget) exactly and delivered the most amazing experience for us.
