First time safari goers - had fantastic experience!
We were first time safari goers and booked a 4-day safari relatively spontaneously just a few weeks before we had planned to go which meant a lot of things had to be planned in parallel and quite quickly. Even though Daniel was just before his own holiday, he always reacted very quickly to any questions we had, gave us very detailed information on itinerary, what to pack etc., and the partner Safari company and accommodation in Tanzania/ Serengeti was fantastic as well! I would definitely recommend booking with African Budget Safaris. You will be in experienced hands with people who not only understand safaris from own experience but also safari bookers‘ needs, wants, questions, hopes and fears. Thank you, Daniel, for taking such good care of us and giving us an unforgettable experience!

We're also glad that you enjoyed the safari itself and had a fantastic time in the Serengeti with our trusted partners. It means a lot to us that you felt well taken care of and in experienced hands — that's exactly what we aim for!
Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation. We hope to welcome you back on another African adventure in the future!

Harriet made our safari experience easy and enjoyable. She answered all our questions patiently— and we had many! She helped us find a trip in the right price range that was out of this world. We LOVED staying at Elephant Plains and highly recommend working with Harriet to get you there. The luxury rooms are worth the extra price!

It all worked perfectly
It all worked perfectly, and the itinerary was spot on and the hotels were fantastic and the Tour company "discover Zanzibar were fantastic".

I'm delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable time on Zanzibar — it's always a pleasure to help create unforgettable memories. I look forward to assisting you with your next African adventure! Best wishes Harriet and the ABS team
ABS helped me find a great trip.
I booked through ABS 10 years ago. When I decided I wanted to visit Africa again, naturally I emailed Claire, with a loose outline of what I wanted to do and when. Claire sent me a list of options, and I chose a 21 day Cape Town to Vic Falls small group lodge tour, via Namibia and Botswana. All of the group agreed it was a brilliant trip. So huge credit to Sunway Safaris there.
Note that ABS act as agents for the many tour companies. But their experience means that they know where to look to find what you want.

Hey Ewan! It was SUCH fun reconnecting and working together to find the right tour. The Cape to Vic Falls Route has to be hands down one of THE most popular routes in Africa covering such huge highlights from the fair Cape through Namibia’s dramatic landscapes and immense solitude into the lush wilderness of Botswana’s Delta and then Chobe National Park before the splash of Vic Falls in Zimbabwe and all the thrill that goes with it. There’s nothing quite like it! It’s always a privilege to play a small part in creating lasting memories for my clients, thank YOU for your 5-star review and all your kind words. Where to next? Warm African Wishes, Claire and the ABS Team
Thank you for the trip of a lifetime!
African Budget Safaris, and specifically Bronwyn, made booking our safari so simple.
We had a thousand questions before booking, and Bronwyn always responded within 24 hours with extremely helpful answers. Even when we had a question at the airport, Bronwyn was available and helped us through the process. I recommend this company to anyone that is looking to book a safari.
The safari itself was such an incredible experience. Though the itinerary had changed slightly from when we had booked, the trip was unforgettable and we saw and did so many amazing things. Our guide and chef were fantastic. The animals were (obviously) the best part, but the people we met were a close second.
Thank you so much!

Caitlin thank you for such fabulous comments and for the recommendations, that makes my heart so happy.
The route you chose is an African Classic and truly showcases the very best of Southern Africa.
The Wildlife IS always a winner, the people too, but it takes a traveller to see and appreciate them too.
So pleased it was you.
East Africa is just a call away and we will wait to hear from you.
All the best Bronwyn and the ABS team.
Good option to organise your African safaris.
Good and prompt reply of any request of information
Hundreds of options available for any places you want to go with good description of the safaris experience including means of transportation and the accommodation available.
The fact that you can pick up the currency to have a full cost of the alternative selected.
Very competitive and reasonable prices and the availability of a straight forward way of organise payment

We've had a great experience with African Budget Safaris. We originally planned our trip in May 2020 but it had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. We were able to pickup where we left off and Chris and other staff were incredibly helpful in getting us scheduled. We had an amazing time on the safari, everything went according to plan and we saw some amazing things. Highly recommend working with them to choose a safari.

We were in Africa to see animals in their natural habitat
We were in Africa to see animals in their natural habitat and we could not have done better - Botswana is amazing and is wilderness - we saw everything from aardvarks to zebras - the lodges were lovely and had varying degrees of pure luxury and everyone could not have been more accommodating - a true once i a lifetime experience

Botswana is truly a wildlife paradise and there is nothing nicer for me, than to hear that you managed to see such a variety. How fabulous!
You did have a great variety of camps and lodges and I am glad they met with your approval and friendly staff – In Botswana, of course!
Would love to host you again soon.
Until then, enjoy these new memories, Bronwyn and the ABS team.

Exceptional first experience of Africa.
Our travel agent Claire Monson was exceptional. We gave her a very rough idea of what we wanted to see and do and a very rough budget and time estimate. Claire put together a wonderful itinerary that ticked all our boxes. She booked all internal flights, transfers and accommodation. It was so seamless and stress free. I can’t recommend Claire and African Budget Safaris highly enough.

Outstanding service & great Aquila Game Park
Chris kept in touch with us during a change in our cruise itinerary due to a 3 day delay with bad weather. He was somehow able to postpone our Aquila overnight booking successfully & in fact managed to arrange a complimentary accommodation upgrade! We were so grateful as many other travellers who booked elsewhere were unable to visit Aquila. We loved the Aquila safaris, meals & accommodation, & saw so many animals up close, including 4 of the Big 5. Well done Chris! We hope to be back!

Dear Laurie and Joan,
Thank you so much for the lovely review! I am happy to hear that you enjoyed your time at Aquila and was relieved that I was able to make it happen with the delay on the Cruise ship due to bad weather. It is always tricky when it comes to cruise ships arriving in Cape Town over winter, but am happy it all fell into place.
Please keep us in mind if you are planning to visit Africa again, as there are so much more to explore!
Thanks again and best regards,
Chris and the ABS team.
Chris Du Prez is a Star!!
Chris Du Prez, my trusted travel advisor, exceeded my expectations once again. He not only arranged a fantastic and truly memorable trip to Botswana this time, he also went out of his way to ensure that I got my visas in a timely manner by giving me invaluable advice on how to go about it. He truly is an asset to the African Budget Safaris team.
He is already working on my next trip to Namibia which I am sure will be as exhilarating as the last 2 trips that he has arranged for me.

Great Botswana Trip. Really well organized.
This year we visited Botswana for the first time as a family of 3. We spent 12 days at two different camps, 6 nights at Kwai Guest House in the Okavango Delta and 6 nights a Chobe Elephant Camp.
Both camps were great with clean rooms, delicious food and really friendly and helpful staff looking after the guests.
African Budget Safaris organized our trip and everything worked perfectly with smooth transfers to and from airports and we had a fantastic stay. 7 years ago we also used this tour operator for our trip to South Africa and our experience back then was also fantastic.

Thank you African Budget Safaris and in particular Claire, our travel agent, for another fantastic adventure. We had a fabulous vacation in Namibia, Botswana & Zimbabwe. This was our second trip to Africa with African Budget Safaris and it did not disappoint. Every detail was handled beautifully. We had one of the internal flights cancelled while we were away. Claire made sure we had another option so that we didn’t miss anything. Everything ran smoothly and we were free to just enjoy! We highly recommend African Budget Safaris and Claire!

Your 5-star review means the world to me dear Paula and getting to travel along vicariously by viewing all your incredible photos allowed me to experience the magic with you, thank you.

Many many thanks for your part in…
Many many thanks for your part in arranging this wonderful birdwatching tour. Everything went very smoothly from the moment we landed till the day we left.
We seemed to attract a lot of attention on safari from other safaris who were bemused by the fact that we were birdwatching at a slow pace rather than tearing around looking for the big 5 - which we managed to see at close quarters anyway!
Our guide (Peter) and driver (Martin) were excellent and really did everything they could to make sure we saw and photographed as many birds as we did.

We absolutely loved your review dear Paul, thank you so much for sharing such positive feedback. It’s so true when it comes to safaris in big destinations like Kenya and the travellers wishing to get to every big 5 sighting while often the slower paced and smaller creatures lead to big surprises 😉 I am so glad your experience was like this, it’s all just pure magic out there in the African Bush and should never be rushed… Especially as you really are on Africa time! We would love to welcome you back for more birding adventures and I will always be a happy hop skip and click away. Until then, take good care and chat soon, Claire & the ABS Team

We had a great time! They went out of their way to make out trip unforgettable. Also when we arrived later due to an overbooked plain.
