I am so happy I found African Budget…
I am so happy I found African Budget Safaris and Bronwyn. My trip to Namibia was cancelled two months before I was travelling and Bronwyn came to the rescue. She had me two option of yours that worked with my dates. Answered my endless questions and assured me I would have a great trip. I will forever be a loyal customer and can’t wait to book my next adventure with her!
The trip was amazing. Gideon our driver and tour guide made sure our group was always safe, well informed and happy.
The highlight of the trip was doing the excursion just outside of Walvisbay in Sandwich harbour.
I hope to go back to Namibia in the future.

Karin thank you for the super review and we are so pleased we were able to find something that fitted in with an existing schedule.
Namibia is a paradise with so much to offer and you saw all the highlights.
Dunes and wildlife, tribes and shipwrecks – a whole world in one country. A fabulous rip.
I so look forward to helping you with another trip later in the year.
Until then, best wishes, Bronwyn and the ABS team.
Simply amazing
Our somewhat random choice of tagging on a trip to South Luangwa, Zambia through African Budget Safaris at the end of our own organized trip was the best decision ever.
The arrangements were impeccable. Daniel from African Budget Safaris responded in a timely manner, provided clear explanations, and tailored the front and back end to accommodate our existing travel plans. He made me feel like I was being heard all the time and was very patient with my many questions. (I used to work for a travel company so I know it can be tricky to juggle different client files and make people feel like their trip is priority.)
As for Flatdogs Camp in South Luangwa, Zambia, we were a bit concerned arriving at the start of the rainy season in November...yes, we had some rain, but we also had dry days too, and we still saw lots of mammals and bird. Daniel’s additional information about what to bring, what to expect, etc. was helpful in our planning. The camp was well organized, staff were warm and friendly and took good care of us, accommodation was excellent, food was tasty and abundant, and the organized game drives were fantastic. It’s a special place.
Thank you African Budget Safaris and Flatdogs Camp for making our trip so memorable in so many wonderful ways. I applaud you.

Dear Lori,
I truly appreciate you taking the time to write such a wonderful and insightful review. It brings us immense joy to hear that choosing South Luangwa as part of your journey with African Budget Safaris was a fulfilling choice.
It was a pleasure collaborating with you, and your kind words about our planning process mean a lot, especially coming from someone with your background in the travel industry. I'm delighted to hear you felt heard and supported throughout this experience. We take great pride in customizing trips to fit existing plans, so it's fantastic to know that it made a positive impact.
We're also thrilled that your time at Flatdogs Camp and in South Luangwa surpassed your expectations, even at the beginning of the rainy season. The unique beauty of that area, along with its wildlife, warm hospitality, and exceptional guides, makes it a truly special destination.
Thank you once again for your trust and for choosing African Budget Safaris. We would love the opportunity to help you plan your next adventure!
Warm regards,
Daniel and the African Budget Safaris Team
Life changing
Our experience was such a life changer.
We slept at the Tlou tented camp and we felt at home at all times. A really kind lady called Noxy was there to help us out with all our needs and questions. Food was amazing too.
As far as the safaris go ours were full of animals as the big five and more. All the rangers we had were extremely talented and they made sure we could see every single little or big animal we came across while drive through the Pilanserberg Park.
Totally recommend this company they are just beyond amazing!

Safaris in Pilanesberg and Kruger
I wanted to experience a safari in a simple way and I appreciated turning to ABS for that. They were really reactive and helpful in organising everything for me. Chris was kind and professional towards me, which made me feel confident. I had the chance to do two 4 days safaris in two different areas : Pilanesberg and Kruger. Each place had its own uniqueness and my time was lovely in both of them. The organisation was very good, the security too, the staff were amazing and the experience incredible. I am leaving South Africe with an extraordinary memory of my time there.

Hi Angelos, Thank you so much for the great review, it was a pleasure to assist you with booking both safaris, and I am happy to hear that you enjoyed both the Pilanesberg and Kruger Safari experiences. It is always great if one can explore more than one reserve, as the different eco systems can offer a different variety of animals and birdlife.
Please keep us in mind for any future travel plans to Africa that you might have as we would be happy to welcome you back!
Best regards,
Chris and the African Budget Safaris Team.
6 Day Garden Route Tour
I have never travelled to South Africa before so i was totally reliant on Bronwyn for her unparalleled knowledge about South Africa. She recommended several trips and soon realised that i wanted something with lots of extra optional activities available. Communication was aways prompt, easy and reliable. A good value for money tour with flexible start dates and duration. I loved it that i was able to book into bunk style, shared accommodation, which was of a very high standard. I find this option helps as a solo traveller and it was a great way to meet new, like minded people. A trip of a lifetime with memories to last for ever. Thank you.

Thank you Lisa for the great review.
Cape Town is the most incredible destination with loads and loads to do.
There are also a number of reserves in close proximity to Cape Town which also means you were able to see the magnificent wildlife of Africa too.
So pleased you had a fabulous time.
We would love to host you again, so much more of Africa to see.
Take care until then, Bronwyn and the ABS team.
Great Botswana trip for our family of 10
We arranged our family Botswana trip through Claire Monson who was helpful, cheerful and efficient. Everything went without a hitch, in an area that could have its challenges if things had gone wrong.

You had a whirlwind tour of Madagascar and the weather, accommodations and lemurs all played along.
A guide does make a great difference and yours was first class.

Until then, take care, Bronwyn and ABS.
Excellent Tour
Bronwyn was extremely patient and also very helpful with me. It took me some time to decide which Tour I wanted to go on. I was put at ease the whole way through. The responses were very timely and useful throughout the booking process. Chameleon staff and guide were fabulous.

South African safari and drive holiday
Just back from a 3 week safari and tour around South Africa. Throughout we dealt with Claire Monson and she was brilliant.
The holiday was tailored around our requests, including safaris, zulu battlefields and garden route. Claire organised our itinerary very well and was available to be contacted on a couple of occasions to assist. This meant so much to us.
We had a fantastic holiday and would certainly recommend using African Budget Safaris to family and friends. We may well be back too!

Excellent Service and Safari
My daughter and I just came back from a tour booked through African Budget Safaris. Harriet helped me to decide on our Nomad tour of Namibia-Botswana-Victoria Falls. I sent her endless emails with questions which she always answered in detail, prior to booking, once booked, and now taking the time to get feedback after the trip. We had an amazing tour! I definitely recommend using African Budget Safaris to help organize a trip!
