Customer's reviews

We had our dream honeymoon in South Africa thanks to the efforts of Kathi Simon at African Welcome Safaris. I decided to book through Kathi as she was very responsive to my emails and could accommodate all my travel requests, providing me with a detailed itinerary suited to my budget. My wife and I could enjoy ourselves without worrying about missing our flights or transfers. During the trip, we could contact Kathi whenever we encountered any issues. Our Shark Cage diving tour got postponed due to inclement weather, but she managed to coordinate and reschedule with the tour operator when the weather improved. For anyone visiting South Africa, we highly recommend booking through African Welcome Safaris for an unforgettable experience! ~ Shawn C
An African Safari has been a bucket list item since I was a kid. I am not wealthy but instead needed to save up for a trip of a lifetime so I was very focused on making sure it had the right travel agent that understood what I wanted to get out of the trip and boy did they deliver. My time in Cape Town was magical. What a gorgeous city. My time spent at Sabi Sands at Savannah lodge was beyond all my expectations. Easily the highlight of the trip. More animals than I ever imagined seeing. From there my time at Timbivati at Kings Camp was next level luxury. My weekend in Victoria Falls was majestic. Kathi, the agent I worked with, was the MK dest most accommodating agent ever. She would respond on her days off in an emergency and I always felt she was available. ~ Conrad M
Kathi Simon and AWS did a wonderful job planning and handling our trip to South Africa. We travelled as a family of 4 from the USA, with 2 teenage boys. We did Cape Town, the Wine Country, and safaris near Kruger National Park. Kathi was a great communicator, and worked hard to ensure that all the details were accounted for. Every location and accommodation she selected was fantastic. All of the transfers were easy, reliable, and safe. The value was excellent for the peace of mind provided. We received Kathi's name from a good friend who booked with Kathi over 10 years ago, and now - 10+ years later - Kathi and AWS are still providing a wonderful South African experience. ~ Ezzell F
