    What our clients say

    Overnight Kruger Tour

    Early last year we booked a custom safari with My Africa as being in Canada we needed someone in the area that we knew and trusted. We have found over the years, find a local safari company, not some international tour company. We booked an 11 day safari of the Kruger National Park. All was fine until the flooding in January. We wish to thank My Africa and Meg in particular for keeping in touch and changing our bookings as the situation in the Park changed daily. We were able to complete our safari with our finish in Olifants Camp in a magical river front rondavel. Our guide, Harrison spotted wildlife that even with binos, we had to struggle. The female leopard in the tree with a cub stands out. Harrison was punctual, polite, friendly and assisted us with any requirement. Excellent driver, respectful of the wildlife and other vehicles.

    What a ride!

    A really lovely location where we went. Riding quads here in the vast, rugged nature with a guide leading the way is AMAZING.
    Everything was perfectly arranged; the car went through the gate using the access code via WhatsApp, then we drove for kilometers over bumps and potholes to the quads.

    Brief explanation, hairnets/helmets on…..
    Off we go…… Wonderful ride through the rugged nature, the guide riding in front….. keeping a close eye on our four quads….
    I rode at the back, leaving huge gaps between us, so I could tear around really fast for a bit…haha.
    We took a short break along the way at a zipline launching point.

    We did the zipline a few days later after all.
    Amazing. Highly recommended.

    Best Quad bike Trails

    A fantastic location for quad biking through rugged nature with a guide leading the way. Everything well organised, access code via WhatsApp, then a bumpy ride to the quads. Quick briefing, helmets on, and off we go. The guide keeps a good eye on the group, and I made sure to leave a big gap at the back so I could open it up a bit, haha. A short break at the zip line platform along the way, and we did that one a few days later too. Highly recommended!

    Great Kruger Experience

    Ranger Grace was friendly, knowledgeable and was happy to answer any questions I had. We spent time watching all animals found and even watched lions feed. Had a great experience and would do this trip again.

    A Christmas to remember

    We traveled SA for Christmas. Meg helped us to organise everything before landing, making the whole experience so smooth and stress free. We absolutely loved everything planned for us. I think we were spoiled with the service from start to finish – between fully organising our itinerary, the collections to and from everything and the tours themselves. Meg always checked in to ensure we had a great day and to enquire if there was anything else we needed. She went over and above for us to make sure we had the best trip!

    Harrison and our other tour guides were the best! So knowable and the best fun! You could tell they just loved what they do. We saw so much and learned so much from them. They had blankets and treats for us along the way. And the safari jeeps were super clean and spacious! We also loved how all of the guides knew all of the locals which was so lovely to see – how everyone is one big community!

    Our Christmas with My Africa was one we will always remember. I couldn’t recommend Meg and the team more. I’d love to do it all over again!

    Sunrise Safari with MY AFRICA

    We recently had a couple of Safari’s with MY AFRICA while staying in Hoedspruit and we were blown away by the level of customer service, even at 5am in the morning. We had amazing sightings of wildlife, saw 4 of the big 5 in a space of an hour as we did Pridelands as well as Blue Canyon wich are both big five properties but obviously this can vary. The guides are very knowledgeable, incredibly attentive and made sure all our needs were met! EXCELLENT !!! The safari exceeded my expectations in terms of experience. You will never go wrong booking a safari with MY AFRICA❤️🐾🐆🌿
