Customer's reviews
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.

We recently returned from an incredible 11-day honeymoon in South Africa organized by African Welcome Safaris, and we couldn't be happier with the experience.
From the initial planning stages, Kathi was super helpful and responsive. She gave us multiple options tailored to what we were looking for and guided us smoothly through every detail, patiently answering our every question via email.
The accommodations and local guides chosen for us were top-notch across the board. On top of that, the on-the-ground execution was mostly seamless. We didn't have to worry about logistics at all, which allowed us to completely relax and focus on enjoying our honeymoon.
Huge thanks to Kathi and the team for making our trip so memorable. We highly recommend African Welcome Safaris to anyone planning a dream vacation to Africa!

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!
