Trans Africa Safaris

Excellent planning, service and follow through by our agent at Trans Africa Safaris! We had a custom three-week trip to Zimbabwe, Botswana and South Africa and were exceedingly pleased with everything. The logistics were flawless, the agent was able to change the game plan when the weather was uncooperative with the original activities, and the service was impeccable (we had to reach her on a Sunday morning to help with a snafu that she solved). We highly commend and recommend Trans Africa!

Trans Africa Safaris, using the booking agent Les Patterson/Botha, have always given us personalized, 5 star service. Les has organised beautiful family tours and adventures. Our bookings have been fantastic, not only from the hotels, but also the game lodges, train, plane and car journeys. She has always gone above and beyond in all her efforts. We have been thankful and delighted by all her special efforts. I definitely would recommend Transafrica Safaris to all my networks, and in fact many of my friends have reported the same excellent service.

Trans Africa safaris handled my wife's surprise birthday once in a lifetime African adventure seamlessly. Pulling off a surprise trip to Africa for a family of four with all the details it involves is quite a feat, Leslie at Trans Africa Safari's made it easy (and yes a total surprise). She booked us into Gomo Gomo for our first camp which was the perfect beginning. Tintswalo was our second camp which was over the top luxury, an ideal place to the ultimate 50th birthday . The ground transportation logistics were so well done I can actually say the trip was stress free. If you're thinking of a safari Trans Africa Safari's is your one place to go to ensure a perfect experience.

Where does one start. After spending two weeks on our trip to Rwanda and Tanzania, July 2022, we are still processing our incredible trip. So much in so little time. What we expected was not close to what we got. Trans Africa didn’t miss a beat. They really cared that now other members of my family are returning next year to repeat our experience. Five stars doesn’t do it justice.Thank you all.Rob Mountain

We have used Transafrica Safaris on several occasions for holiday escapes and have found them to consistently be professional and attentive. The packages they have put together for us, both locally and into africa have been exciting as well as exhilarating.We would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a professional team to put together a holiday into Africa.

Trans Africa Safaris is my 'go to' contact whenever I need a customized itinerary for Southern Africa, and more recently for East Africa. I rely on their knowledge and connections they have developed from their presence in Southern Africa for the past 100 years! I have worked with them for the past 20 years and can always count on flawless attention to detail from the planning stage throughout my clients' travels. Most recently Lesley was able to do the impossible when she pieced together a fabulous , last-minute itinerary for a large family traveling over the holidays. I know when clients return home with enthusiastic reviews and dreams of planning their return trip, I have TAS to thank!

Trans Africa Safaris without a doubt is a extraordinary safari company. You can expect personalized service all the way through.Having a company on the ground to help troubleshoot if any thing comes up is a huge asset.There is incredible competition in the safari world. I recommend Trans Africa as you are speaking to caring people ready to customize an experience just right for you.They have proven themselves to be available if needed almost 24/7.This is comforting to know!

I have worked with the wonderful group at Trans Africa for years. I can always count on them to be professional, detail-oriented and prompt. My clients are always thrilled with their services throughout Africa. There is not a better safari company in Africa.

I have had African travel arrangements made for us by Lesley and Trans Africa Safaris for almost 40 years now. Initially my wife, who owned a travel agency in San Francisco, used Trans Africa Safaris both for her clients as well as for our own travel arrangements. Over the recent 20 years we have used Lesley only for personal travel and to recommend to friends for their own arrangements. Over this period never has there been a glitch or disappointment. All Lesley’s recommendations regarding hotels, lodges, game parks, safari companies, internal air travel or airport arrangements have been perfect. Likewise in the 7 trips we have made personally, often with several friends, every international, internal or charter flight, lodge airstrip pickup, every game drive has functioned seamlessly, without a single problem. We have found Lesley’s suggestions to be always impeccable. Our personal requests have always been appropriately and willingly taken care of.Dealing with Lesley and the staff at Trans Africa Safaris has been smooth as silk and always pleasant and efficient.On a 5 Star scale I would certainly give them a 10! I will always recommend them to any one who asks and reaffirm that the service and results are always more than exceptional.

Trans Africa Safaris put together our family's bucket list trip to South Africa and we set off with the highest of expectations. Everything was exceeded from the brilliant guides, the superb accommodations, the incredible wildlife viewing - it was perfection and all we want to do is go back! We highly recommend Trans Africa Safaris for a seamless, luxury, experiential trip to Africa!
