Szczepiorkowski party

Hello Carina,

it is more than a week since we returned to Poland. We came back to frenetic work so even this contact has been overlooked be myself.

We would like to thank you for setting up such a nice trip through South Africa. We enjoyed every day and quite often we come back to impressions from Africa realising that they are already just recollections. We found the trip very smooth and all the accommodation very convenient. Unfortunately because of late arrivals (my wife wanted to see a lot) we hardly could take advantage of all the comfort offered. The weather was exceptionally good and we had no problems in selfdriving part. But we didn't know that your guides would be so extraordinary.We were impressed by Norman and his willigness to share his wide knowledge of the country and nature. We even got interested in watching birds.

Thank you again and we hope to come back.

Please pass regards to Norman,

Best regards from Poland,

Harrison party

Dear Carina,

We are back from a wonderful trip. I could not have asked for a better time. Everything went like clock work. We did not have one thing go wrong.

The tour's that you set up for us were very enjoyable and informative. We had beautiful weather and got to table mountain and the lift (what a beautiful view). As far as the people of South Africa they are the most friendly people I have ever met. When we were finished with the trip we all felt that we did not miss seeing anything, considering the amount of time we had in your wonderful country. All of the accommodations were wonderful and the breakfast that were included were great. The only tour that we thought was probably not worth going on was the boat ride to see the seals. The boat just went out to the island and sat there for a few minuets and then went back. It did not go around the island so if you were not on the right side it was hard to see the seals. We also got to see seals at the harbor before going out on the boat which was about the same as going to the island. I probably would drop this tour in the future. The wine tour, the city tour, and all of the other tours were great fun.

The location of the hotel in Cape Town was wonderful, as we were able to walk everywhere and felt very safe doing so. Our guide in Cape Town was very nice and informative. All of the restaurants he recommended were wonderful and he was very pleasant to be with. He did not rush us at anytime and was always willing to do whatever we wanted to do. He also took us to see thing that were not on the tour which were very interesting. We were always met when our flights arrived and taken good care of. The trip to Victoria Falls was also great. The accommodations were wonderful and the fact that we could also have dinner at the Livingstone Hotel made it even more special. The sunset boat trip was very enjoyable and we got to see a herd of elephants and hippos. I only wish we could have stayed longer.

It is very difficult to pick a tour company off the internet when you have no idea about them. I feel that I was very fortunate to have picked Southern Eagle Tours. Everyone (especially you Carina) made this experience wonderful. I have talked to friends that did not have the same experience with the tour companies they worked with. I would recommend your company to anyone going to Africa or anywhere else you book. I thank you for making this a fabulous trip for my family. I only wish we could do it again, but 17 hours on a plane is a little too much.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!!!

Best Regards
Paulette Harrison

I am just so glad that your company popped up as part of my Google search. I was a bit sceptical towards a tour company found on the internet, but having dealt with Andre in organizing our trip down South, he really assisted to put my mind at peace.

Thanks for helping me in organizing a surprize birthday party for my husbands 30th at Hongonyi Lodge. The hosts were really thoughful and friendly.

We loved all the accommodation you arranged for us - the friendly staff at Hongonyi, the river view at Olifants and the 5 star cuisine at Jackalberry, what more could we ask for!!

To Southern Eagle Tours:

My family recently used your services to arrange a two week trip to South Africa, and I am writing to relay my most sincere compliments to two of your guides, Norman Lok and Will Venter. Norman was not only knowledgeable and ready to answer all of our questions in detail, but also professional and courteous throughout the entire trip. We all enjoyed our time with him immensely. Will also proved to be an outstanding tour guide, and was flexible, informative and very friendly. We all had an amazing time, and they both contributed significantly to the quality of our stay.

If I ever planned to return to South Africa, I would definitely ask your help in arranging my trip again!

Thanks very much,

For us to be able to get "up close" to the Big-5 and more was thrilling and an experience we will never forget.

Again - our heartfelt thanks to Norman and Brian and to all the Southern Eagle Team.

South Africa is a beautiful part of the world - we would be back in a heartbeat. The best way to see this beautiful country is with a tour guide. Southern Eagle tours have been fantastic throughout. Their help and advise before you leave to come, is very efficient and helpful. Once you get to South Africa it is excellent. You simply sit back and relax and they just take care of you!! They know all the places to go and experience to soak up the atmosphere.

Our guide, Brian, gave us an experience and holiday of a lifetime. Just go and see for yourself.

Mr & Mrs Cuddihy

Hi Billy,

Dick and I just arrived back yesterday after our three week trip to South Africa. We had a most enjoyable time and the highlight after meeting up with our daughter-in-law's family in Richard's Bay was undoubtedly our trip out of Capetown with Southern Eagle. From the moment I first contacted you with regard to this trip I must say that every aspect was dealt with with the most efficiency and courtesy. The hotels/guest houses where we stayed were all superb as was the whole programme. I cannot speak highly enough of our tour guide Brian Nel. He took care of our every need especially in our case due to the fact that Dick had been through back surgery ten weeks before the trip. He was kind, considerate and helpful. His knowledge of South African history was wonderful and he was very interesting and had a great sense of humour. We shared the trip with two English couples and we all got on very well.

Thanks again Billy for arranging such a wonderful and memorable trip for us. We will certainly encourage any of our friends who might be travelling to South Africa in the future to use Southern Eagle.

With kind regards from Dick and I,

Dorothy Cuddihy.

Winkler party

Hi!

I'm just back from a Southern Eagle Tour to South Africa and it was truly a fantastic experience for so many reasons!

I was able to visit Krueger Park and on the game drives we spotted elephants, hippos, giraffes, rhinos, leopard, lions, Cape buffalo, guinea hens and antelope! We also stayed at a private game reserve where I was privileged to photograph wildlife right from the balcony of my room. I saw and photographed 3 giraffes, 2 wild boars, 2 Nyalas, several impalla and 2 baboons. It was really exciting to see them in their natural habitat and observe their behavior. As quietly as they had come they left me - just standing there in amazement.

I also loved the leisurely sundowner boat ride on the Zambezi River (Zambia)to observe hippos, crocodiles, eagles and other wildlife. But, I must say, the drive through the countryside and coastline was more breathtaking than I imagined! As we made our way along the Garden Route, I got to see the flora and fauna that South Africa is known for - and it was gorgeous!

The trip continued to get better and better, with our drive overlooking the Indian Ocean and us being able to see whales right from shore. And Cape Town, in the shadow of Table Mountain, offered so many fantastic photo opportunities I couldn't pass up.

All in all, this trip was a great combination of wildlife viewing, city sightseeing and new friends - including the proud people of South Africa. I can't thank our Tour Guide, Andre LaGrange enough for being so willing to share his knowledge and the history of his country. Now that I'm home from such an incredible trip, I am already daydreaming about my next great adventure.

Sincerely,
Sue F.

A safari with Southern Eagle Tours is an and unforgettable thing. This is a fantastic opportunity to see wild animals and to discover a bit of Africa.

Southern Eagle staff is very professional and makes sure the trip goes perfectly well. Our biggest fear was the payment. With Southern Eagle everything was paid in a secure way.

Carina

We just wanted to thank you for your outstanding service by Southern Eagle during our South African tour. Picking a travel/tour agent via the internet, like we did in choosing your company, was a little intimidating, given the cost of the entire trip. We did not want to make a mistake, and let me assure you, we certainly did not make a mistake in choosing Southern Eagle.

Your personnel were prompt and on time at every venue and appointment, your choice of lodging and side trips were excellent and Brian certainly made our tour of Cape Town and the surrounding area, adapting to our needs and desires, extremely enjoyable. Please express our pleasure and gratitude to him.

Thank you again for a most professional experience.

Hi Carina,

We just have arrived in Barcelona this morning and I'd like to thank you for all the good job you've done. Everything turned out as was planned. Both guides, Andre and Mike, have been very punctual, very professional and patient with us. They gave good and clear explanations of everything that was interesting. The hotels were just what we expected for the money we paid.

I'm relying on Southern Eagle Tours the next time we travel to South Africa.

Thanks again.

Kind regards.

Obermuller and Martinez party

Hi Stefan,
First of all we would like to apologize for not having written til now. The return to our normal rythm has been hard.

We want to thank you and your organization for the wonderful holidays we have had. The thought recieved by Brian Nell in Cape Town, as well as his complete explanations, gave us a very good impression of Cape Town and sorroundings. (Could you please send me his e-mail adress, so we can send him some pictures?).

The stayings in Chobe and Xugana belong to the best we have had ever. And also the Portswood Hotel in Cape Town was excellent. Their staffs were very charming and professional. The stay in Zambezi Sun Hotel was also good, but as a bigger ressort, the attentions were different.

All in all we have leard a lot about the African nature and people. The games at Chobe and Xugana were fascinating and the guides were extremly dedicated to transmit us their passion for their environment, as well as Brian did in Cape Town. It has been fascinating to see and feel the power of the sea and its animals there. Also the Vic Falls have impressed us deeply. We have taken with us many lovely impressions. Africa has a priviledged place in our lives. We will never forget these holidays.

Thank you all once again.
Kind regards

We did the 3-day drive in Kruger which exceeded our expectations in terms of the wildlife encountered and the information that our guide provided. The overnight at Jackalberry was excellent and the safari tour in this reserve was awesome.

McAuley and Forner party

From the first moment we were very impressed with the professional service offered by Southern Eagle Travel. We liked the fact that all our questions & queries were answered so quickly by Andre Liebenberg when making our reservation and afterwards. This was very important to gain our confidence booking with a company and sending our money to them, only knowing them by internet.

Also, when you arrive in a non-European land, it is nice to see how everything works so perfectly, to find someone waiting for you at the airport. All our guides were extremely punctual - nearly always arriving 10 minutes in advance to collect us at our hotel.

And finally, we can have only good words for your guide Martie. She is exceptionally professional and so helpful to her clients. We have travelled a lot of different places of the world and seen a lot of guides, but with Martie it was lovely to see a person so motivated, who spoke so well about her company and who transmitted to her clients how much she enjoys her job. Extremely professional. Please give her our thanks and regards.

Hi Everyone at Southern Eagle!

Just letting you know we arrived home safely and we are exhausted! We just want to thank you once again for the best trip ever! We have toured Africa once before and you guys blitzed the previous trip by miles! The accommodation, meals, and tour guide were 1st class! I had reservations when I booked over the internet but I needn't have worried. Everything was magic! Even the animals co-operated! If we didn't see something on one day we saw it the next. It will be a trip that we will remember for all the RIGHT reasons! Martie is exceptional! We had a personal problem along the way and she was there to lend a hand. I can't praise this lovely woman enough!

Southern Eagle will be my recommendation to anyone going to Africa.

Best wishes for a long and busy life.

Dear Stefan

I would like to give you a short feedback.

It was the second time we choosed Southern Eagle Tours for a Safari tour.
(First was one for my sister Mrs. und Mr. Häni)

We have been very happy about all the arrangement you did make for us. Our guide / driver Norman was very friendly, very attensive , watchful - very good to travel with him. Kind regards to him and many thanks once more.

About the accomodation:

Hongonyi Game Lodge - not our favorite, not open enough for us. But very friendly people and very good food.

Olifants Restcamp - same than in 1972 our first trip to this camp. The landscape - the beautiful view over the river is the only reason to go there.

Chapungu Luxury Tented Camp - we have been very happy there.
Everything was excellent - very attensive staff, good lodgement and food and the most important - wunderful safari-trips. A place we would like to go again !

Conclusion : you did a good job - thank you.

Kind regards,
Brigitte und Peter Jaeger

Dear Andre,

As am now back to work, just a line to thank you and your team for all your assistance during our trip. It was wonderful from the first to the last minute and i really enjoyed to discover the beauties of South Africa, which appeared to be the absolutely perfect holiday destination! I would also like to thank you for having been very responsive and flexible during the preparations- and of course for the dinner at our last evening in Knysna, which we really did not expect.

Both our guides, Johan Strydom and Willem Venter were great! Very professional, very informative and interesting tours and both were just great to be with, easy going and super client oriented. The choice of hotels was also perfect, the Jackalberry Lodge is simply a dream, but also the other places (e.g. La Plume and the new part of Bradach Manor) were wonderful.

I really hope that some of my friends will soon come to visit South Africa and will recommend Southern Eagle to them.

Thanks a lot and warm regards from Abidjan

I just wanted to thank you for a FANTASTIC trip, we really, really enjoyed it, I will definately recommend it to my friends and family. Thank you for the wonderful guides, both Johan and Will have been exceptional and have really looked after us.

Thank you also for the dinner you offered us in exchange for the activities we did not do, we were not expecting such a treat and we really appreciated it.

So, thank you again, really, this has been beyond our expectations, the sights, the hotels, the itinerary and the guides.

Great job!

Dear Stefan,

One week ago we returned from our 22-day self drive tour in SA. We had a great experience and want to thank you for the very good program, you have planned for us. Everything worked perfect during the safari'es and the many exiting places, which are documented by our photo's and video's, and which cover all highlights throughout SA from Joburg to Cape Town. It was our third trip to SA (earlier to Cape Town in 1999 and Pretoria in 2008) and we are looking forward to return another time.

We wouldn't recommend Southern Eagle for travel in South Africa. Front-office staff is prompt and organized. The tours offer good value for money, the guide was outstanding and the memorable itinerary was tailor made just for us.

Hello Carina,
Just a note to thank you so much for organising our recent trip to your country. We had an absolutely fabulous trip and cant wait to come back again. Everything was amazing -all the accommodation, the trip to Vic Falls and of course most of all the animals! Thank you for all the help in helping us to be reunited with our luggage! Please thank Mart for our nice reception in Joburg , for her calming words and the coffee! It was very reassuring that we were able to contact you at all times-sorry for disturbing you on your birthday! Not that we needed to as your company does such a wonderful job. I hope to come back next year, and perhaps travel to other regions------do you arrange trips that include Botswana? I will be passing on your details to my friends and my travel agent.

Again many thanks. We have wonderful memories of our time in the sun!

Lastly, we have to comment again on the outstanding job Norman did. His knowledge of animals, birds and plants is amazing. His attention to every details was truly appreciated.

J.P. and I would like to thank you for all your arrangements etc for our holiday. Everything went smoothly as usual, the transports went well. The camp at Elephant valley was very good, the tents comfortable the food excellent the game drives very good as well as the river trips, the guide very knowledgable and friendly, you can truly recommend this camp to people, what was the best it was a small camp, so we got personal attention. It is a half hour away from, the river and game reserve but Zambo made it very interesting by taking us on different roads each time. We were upgraded to the Livingstone hotel, prices high but the breakfasts excellent. We obviously ate dinner at the Squires Loft Zambesi Sun. Thanks again for your hard work we appreciate it very much, till next time Glenda du Plessis

An amazing experience right from the time when we made our first contact with this agency. They were really helpful in the attenting to our requests and suggested itineraries. Since we were travelling with two small kids (5 and 3) some of the small details were very important.

The agency provided us with a big and spacious car, which was so convenient with kids. We also had a wonderful guide, Johan, who was amazing at spotting animals and keeping the kids engaged - taking care of our various requirements even before we realized them.

Overall the whole tour was well managed by the professional team of Southern Eagle Travel and Tours.

This is our first trip to South Africa and it has been wonderful. I found Southern Eagle website somewhat by accident. Billy responded to me very swiftly. When I spoke to him over the phone, he sounded very knowledeable and really assured me that Southern Eagle is the company I was looking for.

Our stay again proved to be a great experience. Martie was extremely knowledgable and welcoming. We learnt a lot and laughed a lot. What a great first visit to South Africa. Many thanks to Martie and Billy.

We all wish to thank you and your staff for the great holiday. Everything was perfect and we got more than we expected. I would recommend your company to anyone who wants to visit South Africa and get the experience of a lifetime. Our guides Chris and Brian were extremely friendly and always went out of their way to help us. They were very knowledgeable on the wildlife and history which made everything more interesting. We did manage to see the big five, whales and the great whites and we have amazing photos.

Thanks again for everything!

Hallo Carina,

Just to let you know that my sister Carla and myself arrived back safely in the Netherlands and it is snowing. What a contrast! We picked het right company to arrange this lovely trip through eastern South Africa. It was above expectation! Everything was excellent, especially our guide Norman Lok. He did everything to make our trip as comfortable as possible. What a lovely man and he does know his country. He told us about the history, flora and fauna and so much more!

I want to thank you and congratulate you with this excellent company called Southern Eagle. You certainly know how to arrange a fantastic holiday in your beautiful country South Africa! I also want to thank you for the efficient way you arranged everything. Starting from our first email contact. I enjoyed your quick responses to my emails!

Too bad that one of our fellow travellers had an accident and broke her hip. We were outside the Ocean Basket restaurant in St. Lucia and they played lovely music. I invited Pat to have a dance and than she slipped and fell down. I feel so responsible for what has happened. She had to be operated on, but luckily she recovers very quickly and told us she will leave the hospital coming Sunday. They may even continue there trip to Cape Town. That makes me very happy.

Carina, thank you again for everything. I will be back together with my husband and we will only use Southern Eagle to arrange our holiday in South Africa and of course request that Norman will be our guide!

Love from me to you and all colleagues of Southern Eagle!

Dear Carina,

I have been meaning to write you over the last few days, unfortunately, things were rather hectic in the office since my return from holiday that I did not get round to it.

I can tell you that we had an absolutely marvellous time in South Africa and I would like to thank you very much, also on behalf of my friends, for organising such a wonderful trip for us. Krueger Park and especially Thornybusch Game Reserve was beyond our expectations, I still can't believe all the wildlife we saw and Serondella is a beautiful place. Also, Capetown was fantastic and the accommodation and setting in Knysna and Outshoorn was outstanding - we wished we'd had a bit more time everywhere.

Thank you again for helping us to have a great holiday - I do think we might be back some time in the future.

Kind regards
Helga

Hello there,

I just finished my south-africa-foto-fairytale-storybook for our grandchildren and there’s this 1 one-liner in the end that I would like to share with you…

If there is just one thing that this story (journey) teaches us, it is that:

A dream can become reality and reality a dream… (een droom kan werkelijkheid worden en de werkelijkheid een droom)

And that’s just what you people have done & and are extremely good at !

Thanks again !

Hi Stef

I would like to thank you and Carina for organizing a fabulous tour of the Garden Route for us. We enjoyed it immensely and found our transfers from the various locations were efficient and well organized. Our tour guide Brian was always informative, efficient and courteous, our accommodation at Mooiplaas and Portswood Hotel were excellent as was Bradach Manor with a wonderful room overlooking the lagoon. I would have no hesitation in recommending your South Africa tours to any other traveller.

The setting for the dinner at Hongonyi will go down as one of the most memorable of all dinners one has had!! Sitting in front of the open fire, the river, the barbeque, the view, the stars in the sky, the friendly people and the food - PERFECT!!

The open vehicle game safari at Chapungu was really an adventurous experience. The ranger drives the car so close to the animals that one can almost touch them. Watching two male lions from a few meters, running towards each other, shouting at each other "THIS IS MY LAND", is something one will not forget!!

Dear Carina & Billy,

Just a quick note to tell you that we had the most fabulous holiday! Apart from the Big 5, (yes, we even saw a leopard on a tree!) we saw hordes of other animals—zebras, giraffes, ostriches, wart-hogs, antelopes and even hippos—both at Kruger and Timbavati. The rest camps were comfortable and Royal Legend was a delightful experience.

Cape Town too was enchanting—we spent a whole day whale-watching at Hermanus and of course the seals and penguins. Fairways by the Bay was lovely (great pizzas!).

All in all a great trip and great arrangements! We'll be sure to recommend Southern Eagle to all our friends. With thanks & warm regards

Brady Party

Dear Carina,

This was to have been our holiday of a life time and that is exactly what it turned out to be.

We had a fantastic time in Kruger, seeing all of the big five plus lots of other animals and birds, but the two main highlights were seeing a cheetah on a kill and four lionesses stalking and bringing down a kudu.

Victoria Falls were great, not much water going over but that gave us the opportunity to see just how deep the falls are. With water going over and the mist that it creates the true drop would have been hidden.

The Garden Route and Cape Town were brilliant, all the different flowers were coming into bloom and with the mountains makes for some of the most spectacular scenery on earth.

Carina:
Thank you for organising our trip so that every aspect of it ran like clockwork. We know it could not have been easy for you especially with the collapse of Nationwide Airlines.

The accommodation we stayed in was fantastic, we don't know who picks it but they have done an outstanding job.

Martie:
Thank you for your friendliness, humour and excellent knowledge of all we saw especially the bird life. You made the first part of our holiday even more enjoyable.

Johan:
We only had you for one day on our transfer from Thornybush back to Johannesburg but you made the day really enjoyable with all you information and stories. Thank you.

Willem (Will):
When we left Kruger we thought that the best part of our holiday just had to be over, how could we possibly beat it. Your friendliness, good sense of humour and willingness to go out of your way to help while still maintaining a high standard of professionalism made the 4 days spent with you an absolute pleasure. Thank you a thousand times.

Mike:
Your professionalism and knowledge of Cape Town, its people and the surrounding area is unbelievable we learnt such a lot from you. Thank you.

Thank you Southern Eagle for making our dream come true and we will certainly be recommending your services to our friends and anyone else who asks.

Yours sincerely

Barber Party

Stefan,

Apologies that it has taken me a little while to send this email, as I have been busy travelling since we got back from Botswana and Cape Town.

However, I wanted to say a huge "Thank You" for all your help and assitance in what was a truly amazing and memorable vacation.

Our experiences in Botswana will remain with us forever. We thoroughly enjoyed the diversity of the four different camps; felt totally spoilt and pampered by the service from the excellent staff and guides; gained more than a few pounds in weight with the fantastic food; and of course saw some of the most amazing game.

As with all good things, the best was saved for the last, and on our final day we saw a pride of lions bring down, eat and kill (in that order !) an elephant. The whole thing is quite indescribable, but will stay with us forever.

Cape Town was as beautiful as ever, and whilst the weather was kind, we still never made it to the top of Table Mountain. Next time !

Thanks again, and we look forward to our next trip with you.

Best Regards
Neil

The accommodation was great and we were greeted as valued clients when we arrived at each nights B&B or lodge. Once again thanks for all your help and we will certainly pass on to our friends your contact details if they are going to South Africa.

The whole tour exceeded our expectations. It is clear it is a very well-run and efficient operation. Our tour guide, Wayne, was patient and flexible with the itinerary if we so desired. His extensive knowledge of the animals and wildlife made the experience even more memorable - we feel that we have learnt a great deal. If he couldn't answer a question, which he always could, he said he would get an answer ASAP. I would have no hesitation recommending him - those who get him when on tour with Southern Eagle are very lucky. The staff and service at all the camps, especially Hongonyi and Kambaku were hospitable - no small detail was left unattended.

Overall, we would hope one day to return. Many thanks for a truly memorable holiday.

Mr. Peter & Louise Brown

Carina,

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get round to writing this.

We just wanted to thank you and the Southern Eagle Tours team for your contribution towards a truly fantastic couple of weeks travelling in, and around, South Africa.

The arrangements worked perfectly - we really couldn't have asked for better; particularly memorable are Serondella Game Lodge in Thorny bush reserve and Whale Lodge in Hermanus - what wonderful places!

Thank you again for being so helpful in tailoring the itinerary to meet our needs and for your advice along the way!

We will be back, we loved it!

Dear Carina

Back to France, as we have to, but I wish we could have stayed longer in South Africa.

We had a “very very excellent good” stay in your beautiful country and we enjoyed it a lot. Please, keep your country safe and fantastic as it is! Everything was fine thanks to you. Our trip has been very well organized; everything was in order, on time, as expected, and I re-discovered South Africa with jubilation after 35 years of absence.

Our special thanks go to you who have been at the origin of all this.

Thank you very much; we will surely recommend you and Southern Eagle

With our warmest regards

Jan and Aimee

The organization was perfect. Carina Kruger was always very fast to answer all our questions and also kept contact with us until the very last day before we departed.

We appreciate that the groups are small (max 7 people) instead of other tour operators with groups of 20 people. The accommodation was always good and the overall knowledge of the guides were excellent.

We will recommend Southern Eagle to our friends.

Carina,
I am now, obviously, on the tour. First, let me say things are going splendidly. Even my arrival at Jo'burg airport was flawless, smooth and unintimidating. I cannot say enough about our guide Marti. She is warm, friendly and very knowledgeable. Christian is excellent as well. I am having an absolutely fantastic time. We have had tremendous luck with the animals as well, and saw all of the big five today. There was also a "kill" this morning just south of satara, and we saw (twice) a full pride of lions just on the side of the road. It was amazing, and only a small portion of the animal sightings today. Thank you for all your work.
Thanks .

A wonderful trip thanks to a very professional team. Before the tour, Billy did his best to answer all my requests to create an "A la carte" trip. Our guide, Wayne, is very enthusiastic and has a lot of knowledge about everything.

I was with my 2 girls, 10 and 12 years old, and the trip was very accommodating to their age - thanks to Billy's advice and Wayne who took very good care of us. We saw a lot of beautiful things, including the "Big Five" and stayed in very good accommodation.

From the planning and reservation of our tour itinerary by Billy, to the guiding by Johan, all of these were well planned and executed smoothly, despite the fact that we only enquired and confirmed the tour package two weeks before the departure date. We were impressed that everything could be put together in such short period, with lots of useful and interesting information provided by Johan, our guide. Johan was very approachable.

The office responded to our question within 24 hours. Our guide, Norman was very knowledgeable and made the trip one of the most enjoyable we have had in the 60+ countries we have toured. The itinerary was well paced and we saw the "Big 5" twice and just missed by one leopard from seeing it 3 times in 3 days. This was an outstanding experience from start to finish. I would recommend it to our friends.

We still have one week in the Cape but if the first week is anything to go by, we are in for more treats.

(7 March):A first class experience that exceeded our expectations and made us fall in love with your lovely country which we will, we are sure, visit again and will certainly recommend your company to our friends and relatives.Brian helped us to understand the cultural and social context of South Africa and the hopes and aspirations of your new nation.He did so with a great deal of enthusiasm and a positive outlook.

We travel quite a bit, but to us, this was a trip that will leave a very positive impression for a long time.

We were very pleased with the way our Southern Africa trip turned out.Everything ran very smoothly and there were no hitches.The tour was well planned and organized and the variety of experiences on our itinerary gave us a real taste of South Africa’s diversity.The small group size made it easy to travel and have our questions answered by our guides.All were knowledgeable about their respective part of the tour.Accommodations were diversified – from a restcamp in Kruger to a city hotel in Cape Town – but all were quite comfortable.The safari was the tour highlight: seeing the variety of wildlife and how close we could get to them was memorable.One highlight which was not on the formal itinerary was the mountain pass our guide took us over after our visit to the Cango Caves.Other highlights included: Shakaland, Knysna, Table Mountain, Cape Point, the Kirstenbosch botanical gardens and of course, the wine country!

For the first time we were not happy to return home, we would have stayed in your beautiful country for at least a few more weeks. We liked everything.

We would like to thank you again for your brilliant services, your patience and promptness. True professionalism.

Thank you for letting us have a private tour, there is a world of difference in discovering a country and its people in peace instead of listening to other people blabbering.

You have very competent guides, thank them all on our behalf, but Marius was the best, calm, experienced, we liked him a lot.

The accomodations were all very good,thank you.

Me and Gregor both agreed that we could easily move to Cape Town, buy an apartment and enjoy ourselves...

We still have a tan from your sun, all the laundry is done, the pictures are safely saved in both our computers, tomorrow work and school begin.

Wishing you personal happiness and many, many business successes we thank you again.

Dear Carina,
We are finally back home after our wonderful tour. Thank you so much for all the arrangements you made for us. We stayed in so many interesting places.

A real highlight for us if we had to choose, was staying at the Woodall Farm by the Addo Elephant Park. We had an upgrade to a suite because of it being new business for them, and our two visits to the Park were just fantastic. We saw so many elephants- we never dreamt we would see so many animals.

We want to compliment youfor both Johann and Chris. Both looked after us so well and Johann made a very long drive to the clinic in the Kruger to get treatment for Jill. We were very appreciative of that.We believe he has a special birthday next week. We have sent a card but in case it doesnt arrive in time please give him our very, very best birthday wishes!

With many thanks once again for this wonderful trip.
Yours sinvcerely,
Andrew and Jill Dare

We all enjoyed it very very much, it was a fulfilling experience. We will certainly recommand South Africa and Southern eagle to our friends. André wasthe perfect guide, we were lucky to have him.

It was our first time in South Africa. And thanks to Southern Eagle, it was an incredible experience. Being on a private tour is a unique opportunity to discover places and people and enjoy the scenery and the history of a country. Our guide, André, was very dedicated and helpful and he made sure that each new day was as exciting as the day before. He was really awesome. We highly recommend the safari in private game reserve. The three days in Serondella were the highlight of our stay. We saw the big five.

Back home, we are spreading the good news : a visit to South Africa is a must, with Southern Eagle it’s even better (although the 20 hour flight is something else!). We all wish to come back some day.

We certainly come back soon and would be glad to contact you for a new arrangement.

We can’t believe our good luck!Our first trip to South Africa and we got probably one of the best, if not the best, tour agencies around.Everything on our trip – from the tour guide/driver, 8 seater SUV, accommodation, to the interesting commentaries and spectacular scenery – was truly memorable.What impressed us with the pre-tour stage was the readiness to accommodate to our requests and the speedy responses to our enquiries.Keep up the good work, Southern Eagle Travel & Tours – you truly FLY HIGH.
