African Budget Safaris Reviews 

From start to finish a first class service , from the booking and support pre trip with Bronwyn , the prompt and comfortable journey to and from Cape Town , and the magical safari drives with Johannes at Inverdoorn.
Ambassador suites are definitely with the slightly extra cost and the camp is much more private and less busy than others....a perfect trip including the stargazing

We just got back from another magical trip to Africa and already want to go back. Daniel at Africa Budget Safaris planned a great trip for us again. This was our 3rd trip that he has done for us, and once again he hit it out of the ballpark. He is so easy to work with, making great suggestions and listening to our requests. We did the 16 day Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia trip and enjoyed almost every moment. The only one we didn’t like was getting dropped off at the airport to go home. Our guide Norbert picked our group of 8 up at the Vic Falls airport and quickly became the 9th member of our group. He was so personable and fit right into the dynamics of our group. His knowledge of the three countries we visited, the animals we saw, and the cultures we experienced definitely added to our experience. The lodges were all comfortable and accommodating. The food was delicious. The experience was absolutely amazing. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

I found the Kiboko tour via African Budget Safaris and sent an email with questions . Harriet answered promptly and then we organised a Skype call to finalise details. She was also able to book accommodation prior to the tour departure and transfers included in the tour at both ends. Their website also has lots of blogs etc to ensure the trip you are taking is the right one for you . Highly recommend the over 40s lodge tour if you’re 50-80 but helps to be a fairly fit and healthy individual. Lots of long drives and bumpy at that however we all coped well . Loved all the lodges and dinners included. Wow Botswana is the highlight! We experienced amazing flora and fauna - it was magical !

All of the transfers to/from airport and hotels was seamless. The drivers and guides were all fantastic. The choice of safari lodges we stayed at were phenomenal and the activities offered were great. Meals were overall wonderful with local and western cuisines as well.

We decided to go to Africa at the very last moment and Bronwyn found an itinerary perfect for us. We discovered Namibia with an excellent guide, the accommodations were great and enjoyed all the activities. We saw so many animals! It was just perfect. It’s our fifth trip to Africa with African budget safari and every time we were so very satisfied!

I just got back from a 14-day overland accommodated safari from Johannesburg, Eswatini and Mozambique through African Budget Safaris and operated by Nomad tours We were a group of 14, started off as complete strangers and ended as family and had an amazing time!

I would highly HIGHLY! recommend African Budget Safaris who organised a very memorable experience! Bronwyn very responsive, answering all our questions and ensuring I had everything I needed. The entire process was seamless and easy. Thank you Bronwyn! Talk soon regarding my next adventure!

The trip was as advertised. As a traveler I was very well informed. Our agent, Claire, was really great with good follow up answering all out questions. The tour guide from Kiboko, Weston, was awesome. He was informed, very pleasant and caring. He genuinely want us to develop an appreciation for Southern Africa.

The staff are very knowledgeable and made the whole process of organizing our trip very easy
Our trip was organized very efficiently and thoroughly which made everything much more enjoyable for us

Great booking system, friendly staff and an overall lovely experience.

We booked through Claire and the experience was fantastic. The places we stayed were over the top. They were close to our destination for the safari we were doing the next morning so we didn’t have to go far to get started. The guides did a great job of explaining and showing us what we wanted to see.

Our experience with our consultant Daniel was fantastic. From our first contact until we left on our tour, he was informative, helpful and always quick to respond to any enquiry which made the process smooth and refreshing. Will definitely book our next adventure with African Budget Safaris.

to decide a relatively expensive Safaris trip is not easy, particularly to us, a first time Africa.

the website was great with lots of choices and the staff, Daniel, who takes care of us are nice and patient.

Daniel and African Budget Safaris were so responsive and very prompt with information and booking.
Our safari exceeded expectations. Asili Adventures provided luxurious accommodations, friendly guides, and amazing hospitality. Highly recommend!

We went on a camping safari in Botswana via African Budget Safaris. Their customer service was excellent throughout, arranging a once in a lifetime trip and liaising with the provider on our behalf. A minor accident occurred during our trip and they stayed involved after our trip was finished, and helped us get a resolution to the issue. Can't recommend them highly enough.

I just returned from a 14-day overland accomodated safari of Botswana Wildlife Parks booked through African Budget Safaris and operated by Sunway Safaris. We were a group of 11 (we all knew each other) and had a fabulous time. The description of the itineray was accurate, our guides were excellent, we had some amazing experience and even ate very well. I would highly recommend African Budget Safaris who organised this trip of a lifetime. Daniel and Chris were very responsive, answering all our questions and ensuring we had everything we needed.

Selected a fairly large itinerary which included Uganda Botswana Zambia Zimbabwe Capetown including a self drive through the Garden Route. Tasked Claire Monson to connect all the dots which included several flights to attain our experience plus ground crews to make all this happen.my and our trip came off seamlessly as all came together with no glitches other than some weather issues that Claire also remedied even on her day off. our safaris exceeded all my expectations and the some. Our guides put us in positions to view the wonders of Africa in close proximity with wildlife encounters we will remember and talk about for years to come. Our accommodations were all full of character and topnotch to say the least. WE can't thank Claire enough for making this happen. I will not hesitate to recommend African Budget Safaris and Claire especially for giving us memories to last a lifetime. Again thanks from Andy and Terry.

Fantastic experience with African budget safaris. Had a free upgrade at timbavati private reserve in South Africa. Absolute highlight of our 3 week honeymoon!

Our experience with African Budget Safaris was perfect from beginning to end thanks to travel agent Claire Monson. Claire was extremely efficient in working with my dream safari travel agenda. She mapped out our travel plan proposal complete with prices in less than 24 hours. Surprisingly even with the time difference between the US and South Africa and her brief family vacation, Claire picked up every call, returned my calls, or answered texts within 15 to 30 minutes. Our pick up and drop off times traveling between countries and local tours were perfectly calculated. We were amazed at the organization of the company and subcontracted vendors at each destination. Furthermore, it seemed as if Claire had our itinerary memorized since she could always answer questions without hesitation. We felt like we were old friends visiting from abroad who she was personally attending. Claire is a five star travel specialist who leads the way for African Budget Safaris 5 star ratings. Everywhere Claire sent us, we felt a very warm welcome and enjoyed the cultural experience as well as the the hospitality of the local people. Our safari was a wonderful experience!

The 2 Safari experience we did( the mobile bush tenting experience in Botswana & the Zambia fixed location tenting experience) we trips of a lifetime. The guides and the support team were superb. All very knowledgeable and assisted in every way to make the trip memorable. AFS did an exceptional job arranging all internal flights and accommodations along with knowledgeable staff meeting us at the airports to facilitate our moves to accommodations and keeping us informed of all facets of the trip. The itinerary was well laid out and easy to follow. Descriptions of camps, accommodations, flights, vehicles, etc. all accurate. Thanks for a fantastic adventure.

We could not have put this incredible trip together without Claire at African Budget Safaris. Claire planned a trip based on everything we wanted that let us experience “raw” Africa and luxury Africa. Every flight (and there were many), pickup/transfer and accommodation went smoothly with no issues. Throughout the planning process and while we were on our trip, Claire was always available, prompt to reply and very knowledgeable and helpful. I would not hesitate to have Claire put together another trip and highly recommend Claire and African Budget Safaris to plan your next bucket trip.
