Prompt, efficient responses to our enquiries and very accommodating in offering an itinerary which fitted in with our travel arrangements and requirements. Tour Guide Johan Stegman: Very accommodating, extremely pleasant and enthusiastic. We feel we have been very lucky with our allocation as Johan has helped make our trip thoroughly enjoyable.

We have been delighted with the tour we have had with Southern Eagle Tours. They were very accommodating when we initially approached them with travel dates and a provisional itinerary. The accommodation used has ranged from comfortable to luxurious, our guide has been brilliant and we have had a thoroughly excellent holiday. For a trip to Southern Africa, we cannot recommend them highly enough!

Mrs Marion Bonnie Allison & Mrs Ursula Marion Lovett
Honest, personable service at a reasonable price. Small groups a bonus, combining private and public game parks an excellent option. We saw a wide variety of animals at both, the Big 5 at Kruger and herds of 30+ buffalo as well. At the private lodge you can see the animals at a closer range. Unforgettable experiences at both. Johan was careful not to promise everything, so all our experiences were very special.

I think Stefan did an excellent job when I wanted to book the tour. He always answered my e-mails right away. Johan Stegman was a very good guide. He was so enthusiastic and he really wanted us to have a good experience. He made sure that everybody felt comfortable. Southern Eagle seems so professional with a very dedicated staff. Serondella was wonderful. We really enjoyed the game drives in the open vehicles and saw so many animals.

Southern Eagle gave us the impression of a trustworthy and reliable organization, this is the deciding factor!! We were extremely impressed and happy with our tour guide Johan Stegman’s effort and professionalism. Your company will do very well with staff like him. Southern Eagle has created a holiday and experience for us from start to finish. Their office and tour guide professionalism allowed us to rely on them entirely. We enjoyed the tour particularly with Johan Stegman and will recommend Southern Eagle to anybody who wishes to experience this magnificent country.

A truly amazing, highly memorable tour, we never expected to get. To experience the beauty of South Africa under the professional guidance of Southern Eagle’s guide Chris, and to discover all the thousands of different surprises the Kruger Park and the other reserves had to offer, was definitely the most impressive vacation so far. Chris was funny, highly interesting, gave lots of details and absolutely adapted to our special requests.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our trip through Southern Eagle. All arrangements were well done and went according to schedule. Our guide was pleasant, knowledgeable and completely responsible for every detail of our schedule. Accommodations were overall very good, the staff and guides at the various game parks were pleasant and informative. The tour planning process went very smoothly. We experienced excellent customer services and the cost/value of the trip seemed appropriate. Thank you for an excellent South African experience. We would definitely consider Southern Eagle for future trips.

Southern Eagle is a highly professional organization. I would definitely recommend them for touring Kruger Park. They are very proficient at coordinating all material aspects (accommodations/ transportations) as well as learning you all what is necessary to enjoy your tour (SA history including Kruger Park development phases/environment/animals).

Martie has been an excellent guide and we will recommend her if available for friends who will go through Southern Eagle Tours.

A perfect honeymoon for people loving animals! Also a perfect and relaxing second honeymoon for business men/business women (like us) while visiting the country for job. Fluent English is necessary to enjoy the amazing explanations of your guides. Try both Kruger and private reserves to have a full safari experience – it’s worth it.

(29 February): We are seasoned travelers of many countries and continents, but this experience will be on the top of our memories list for the way we have been looked after, for the unbelievable beauty of the country, the friendliness of its people (of all races) to the unique things that we have experienced. Many thanks for making this possible for us. 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.

Fantastic from start to finish. We had a wonderful experience at Thornybush being in the middle of a herd of elephants, then Cape buffalo! We loved the giraffes especially in Kruger. Wayne was a great guide, informative, attentive, patient and knowledgeable. We must come back because the only thing we missed seeing on our list was the elusive leopard. Would not hesitate to recommend Southern Eagle Tours and Wayne as guide! Thanks so much for making our South African adventure a trip of a lifetime!

It was a full and interesting tour, every day enjoyable and well paced. We were not rushed, and we did it all. The “word of mouth” i.e. Mrs Chris Birch, although she enthused about this trip – it was much better! Brain was an excellent choice of guide, he answered every question and was especially helpful and kind to Olive who is nearly 80 years old. We can’t thank him enough.

Het liep vloeiend vanaf die internet boeking tot aan die afhaaltijden en de transfers tussen de verschillende lodges. Geen enkele hapening of twyfel by betaling via credit card. We hebben ontzettend veel dieren gezien tydens de ritten door het park. Vooral onze ontmoeting met de 3 jachtluipaarden staan op ons netvlies gebrand (Hongonyi). De ritten in de 4 x 4 open terreinwagens by n’Kaya zijn onvergetelijk.

This was our first experience in visiting South Africa and overall, it was a great experience. Too bad the days went by so fast, because many of the moments we could have enjoyed “forever”. The people who took care of us, both before and during the trip, were professional, customer caring and last but not least, excited about what they were doing. To a customer, this makes a big difference.

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

Thank you so much.

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!

I really enjoyed South Africa travel with the guide's hospitality. Sometimes toilets are a big issue for travellers, however they chose clean toilets with suitable timing, so I focused on the safari and sightseeing. Also, the quick and accurate response of Southern Eargle's backoffice people become my determinant to choose South Africa. Thanks a lot

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.

I would like to commendate Southern Eagle for the customer service level provided by Billy Terre Blanche. We had a fantastic time at the Satara Restcamp in the Kruger Park. We then had the pleasure of staying at the luxurious Thornybush Lodge with fantastic views from the high quality rooms and excellent staff, above all the chef (we loved the food!), and our ranger Andre and tracker Ishmael, whom managed to find us all of the Big Five, including the illusive leopard. We would thoroughly recommend the Thornybush Lodge.

He gave us very good information about all aspects of the tour and everything we saw.

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 you for 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

My main contact was with Carina and via e-mail – she was always very nice and ready to help me with all the arrangements that I needed. I was positively impressed by the response speed and felt very safe and comfortable about coming to South Africa, sure that she would provide me a great experience. Our tour guide Johan Stegman was very kind and easy-going at all times. Always ready to help us and flexible enough to fulfill specific needs from the members of the group (e.g. stop for buying a phone card or souvenir, etc.) Always smiling and willing to wake up early and drive around long hours so we could see the most animals we could. No complaints at all!!

Hi Carina,

My friends and I are back in Canada.
I just want to let you know that we had a great journey. South Africa is a beautiful country with so many different things to see and to do. 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 was the perfect guide, we were lucky to have him.

Thank you again Carina for your collaboration, your patience. You can count us among your most satisfied clients.

Email received 2 months later - 17 April 2008

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.

Last Sunday we came back from our trip throuh South Africa and it was really great experience. So we like to thank you for the absolute perfect organization of that trip, with a very interesting routing, wonderful small hotels, a good car, accurate train reservation and an excellent service (we would mention especially the warm welcome at our arrival from Switzerland by the charming Mrs Krueger) and also the very welcome shuttle service to the Mondior Concorde you have arranged on our arrival in JNB after a 27 hours train trip from Capetown. 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.

Mr & Mrs Skoch
Dear Billy,

We just wanted to drop you a line and tell you how very much we loved our tour we booked with you to Kruger.

Martie, our guide, was great!..actually amazing...she could drive and spot animals all at the same time. She was always cheerful and pleasant and helpful...and didn't seem to mind, at all, to answer all of our (silly, repetitive) questions. We saw more animals than we had ever hoped to and could not believe how close we could get to them. Also, we loved this time of year to observe the animals (which a lot of people said was not the optimum time) because we did get to see so many
babies.......

At Hippo Hollow, we got to meet Andre, who was doing another tour. It was nice to put a face with a name, since he was the first one I had been in contact with when initially setting up the tour.

We enjoyed our accomodations, i.e. Hippo Hollow, Satara and Serondella. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful.
We actually had Serondella to ourselves the second night so Marco and Vivian went with us on the evening drive.
Afterwards, Vivian had set up a "table for two" in front of the fireplace (with a roaring fire...the evenings had a bit of chill in the air). It was perfect.

The sheets made available to us to "track" the animals we saw were fun...it was like a contest We have many "ticks" on our lists. (With Martie's bird-watching experience, she also pointed out a great many birds for us.)

Thank you, and your staff, for providing for us an experience which will last a lifetime!

Thurairasa family

Hi Stefan,

It has been some time since we've returned from a really fantastically beautiful holiday in Africa. I'm just writing to thank you for doing such a wonderful job with the whole tour and giving us a superb guide who did a marvellous job showing us his 'home country'. We are still trying to get back from what now seems a dream but also one that we vividly remember. Andre was the perfect guide and when he explained things to us and gave us options we were only too glad to pass the decision back to him. And he never let us down. He's also made sure that we return to tour the rest of SA which we've missed. We sort of adopted Andre as part of our extended family and at the end it was hard to say good bye to him. He is a real asset to your organisation.The whole family including the children were just 'gob-smacked' with some of the scenery and visits we made to the various sites.

We have been talking so much about the tour that we've now got so many more people interested in travelling to SA. So, we'll keep you posted but now, it's back to work for me.

Again, thank you and best wishes from the Land of OZ Sharmini & Kesh

This was our 1st time in South Africa, and so far, we have been most impressed. The accommodations, especially at the Serondella Lodge, have been outstanding, the safaris were incredible, and Chris is both likeable and informative, excellent, outstanding, the best. We have both traveled extensively throughout the world and consider our first week in South Africa to be one of our best experiences ever. Thank you.

This was a truly wonderful 3 days. Our opinion of South Africa has been transformed from one of unknowing to one of absolute love of the place. Everything we did was thoroughly enjoyable, everyone we met thoroughly pleasant and helpful.

Our guide, Johan Stegman, is a true gentleman and made the entire trip the success and pleasure it has been. He is helpful, considerate and caring. He has obvious passion for his job, his country and the people we encountered. The whole trip was wonderful and Johan really added to that. We had no real expectations, but went away with memories that will last a lifetime.

The experience at Serondella was mind blowing, the hosts wonderful, the animals amazing.

The entire trip from first internet enquiry to final drop off has been well organized and pleasantly managed. Thank you.

One of the most exciting holidays ever undertaken – first visit to South Africa – wonderful experiences – Big 5 – lions feeding on warthog whilst fending off a herd of buffalo – cheetah with 4 young, rhino with young.

First class organization – Chris our guide has a wonderful knowledge of the flora and fauna, encouraging us to get him to stop at any time in Kruger National Park for photos.

Game drives at Serondella absolutely fantastic – Marco and Themba getting us as close as 5m from lions and cheetahs.

Definitely not our last visit to South Africa!

We are back home now and as we didn't complete the questionnaire about our tour before we left, I thought that this email will do instead.

We had a wonderful time in South Africa and would like to thank you for organising our tour so well.

Our guide Johan (Stegman) - good knowledge, interesting, humorous and easy going. His appearance was always nice and neat. We enjoyed his company and had many laughs together.

The car was nice, clean, and comfortable.

All accommodation was very good.

On the whole the organisation of the tour was excellent. We loved your choice of the Ithala Game Reserve with its fantastic scenery and the various routes mapped out for the game viewing.

Then putting us in the Hilltop Camp was a great idea, as the scenery there was so different. And the choice of the Tree Lodge was the icing on the cake. We felt like we were transported back in time - sleeping in the middle of the fever tree forest.

At the Sodwana Bay Lodge everyone was so nice and friendly and the food was very good. Diving was great too.

We hope to come to South Africa again sometime and will come straight to you to plan our journey.

We want to thank you for being so efficient in organizing our tour, and we would also particularly like to thank our guide Will. He was an excellent guide for us, and worked hard constantly to ensure that we had the best possible time on tour. His local knowledge of the region was invaluable, and we very much appreciated his boundless energy, enthusiasm and good humour. As seems likely, we will be in South Africa again before too long, and will choose to travel with Southern Eagle again. Thank you Billy, and thank you Will.

There has been some really great days in the wilderness/Kruger Park, watching the animals – saw the Big 5 – and relaxing on the extreme calm environment of the private game lodge Thornybush.  Will take the pictures – came and in my heat – home.  Hope I can make it back sometime.  Our guide Wayne Barnes was very kind, always looking for our best and asking if everything is fine.  He reacted prompt to our questions and wishes.

We really enjoyed touring with Martie.  Nothing was too much trouble and she made sure our holiday was enjoyable and the best that it could be. Martie was very knowledgeable, able to answer all of our questions, very relaxed and easy to talk to and was very helpful when we needed anything.  We were met by someone from Southern Eagle Tours for all transfers which meant that there was no stress or worrying on our part.  Thank you all for your hard work and effort.

This was our first experience of Africa … and we were on honeymoon so there was a lot to live up to in our expectations.  We can honestly say that the experience we had truly surpassed those.  From the beautiful Victoria Falls, a day’s safari in Botswana, a night in Johannesburg, to seeing the Big 5 in South Africa (all with relaxing sundowners in exotic locations!), this has been the trip of a lifetime.  Big personal thanks to Wayne (Barnes) for his infinite patience with our never-ending questions and his overall kindness and enthusiasm.  We found the guides to be extremely kind and attentive, who couldn’t do enough for us.  They were also extremely informative and conveyed information to us in a fun and friendly way.  The passion for their jobs and the animals raised the whole tone of the tour.

Hi Billy,

Well we are back from our holiday and had such a wonderful time.I wanted to let you know that it could not have run any smoother had we tried.Everything that you organized for us was perfect.The only downside was when we got the the lodge at Chobe they were doing renovations and the pool and dining area were closed and it was 40 degrees so very hot and nowhere to cool down, but that was such a small thing and the lodge was fantastic and did such a good job in organizing the makeshift dining area.I should also tell you that Motswari Lodge was absolutely wonderful.You could highly recommend it to anyone.The Zambezi Sun in Zambia was also excellent as was Flamingo Bay Water Villas.All in all it was a wonderful wonderful holiday and both John and Heather and Fred and I said after one week that if the holiday finished then we would still go home happy.I know I have already told you how good Johan was.He certainly made that first part of the trip so much fun.He was so enthusiastic about everything and went out of his way to make sure we had the best time we could.In fact he was quite protective, the first time we went off on a game drive on our own he walked to the jeep with us and was there waiting for us when we got back.It was almost like he was sending his children off for the first time.It made us all feel quite special.

We have all decided that we want to return in 2 years time but head further north if we can.I hope that is something you will be able to organize for us.

Thank you once again Billyand please feel free to post this on your feedback page if you would like to.

Take care and hopefully we will speak again very soon.

Best wishes
Bernie

We chose Southern Eagle on the basis of an excellent website and responsiveness to our queries.The actual trip has vastly exceeded our expectations.Every arrangement has worked like clockwork and we have felt so priviledged to have Martie as our guide.Her expertise on bords, animals, trees and plants is simply incredible and her company these past nine days has been very special.

Follow-up email received 8 October 2007:
Hello Billy,
We are safely back in NZ, slightly smarting from the shock exit of the ABs but otherwise refreshed from an excellent holiday in South Africa. I know that we filled out the feedback form but I wanted to write in addition to that to thank you for the superbly organised trip which all went without a hitch and also to express our very serious appreciation of Martie, our guide and travel companion, whose knowledge never ceased to amaze us. Nothing was too much trouble for Martie and she was great fun to be with as well, so thank you Martie. Could you ask her to let us know what we owe for the hospital appointment that no doubt she will have told you about. Also let her know that after an excruciating night the pain had eased slightly by the following morning so we were able to make it up to Livingstone, and over the following few days it gradually got better, so we enjoyed the Falls and our subsequent visit to Cape Town where we followed her recommendations pretty much to the letter.

Also you could let her know that the Premiere Classe Train was pretty much a fist class hotel on wheels and at a fraction of the cost of the Blue Train - highly recommended to any other visitors to SA. Good luck in the RWC for which you must now be favourites.

With kind regards,
David

Our tour guide, Wayne Barnes, was very polite at all times and very thoughtful of what we wanted/needed.  He is very charismatic and friendly yet very professional and always respectful.  He always kept us well informed and he transmitted us his passion for nature and wildlife and that kept us even more interested.  The three night-four day safari greatly exceeded our expectations.  The organization was impeccable and all the activities were timed in such a way that they fit perfectly without stress.  The accommodations selected by Southern Eagle were great.  In each place we were treated very well and the locations were excellent.

Overall, an extraordinary experience I would recommend to anyone.  This was our first safari and this tour was the best choice and definitely the highlight of our trip to South Africa.

Stefan,

First of all I want to thank you very much for everything you and your staff has done to make our holidays very special, unforgettable. We’ve done a great trip and have felt very well treated and welcomed, but specially thanks to our guide, André.

I would like to go back to South Africa and for sure I will contact you again and maybe also if we finally decide to go to Namibia. I am an Asian lover and that was my first trip to Africa, because I only knew the North which is very different: Morocco, Tunisia. I think that now Asia will have to share my dreams with Africa!

Although I was a bit concerned about organizing my holidays via internet with such a distant country I am very happy I did so.

Since the moment I contactedSouthern Eagle, André Liebenberg was very helpful answering my endless questions, when he left the company Billy took charge of my holidays and my great surprise has been not only knowing a wonderful country as South Africa is but meeting such wonderful people as the staff of Southern Eagle is. Billy gave me all the extra information I required, Karina met us very early in the morning to give us the tickets to Livingstone and then, finally we met wonderful André (Alexander?, I don’t remember his family name), he was extremely kind, full of knowledge about the country, helpful with our heavy luggage, excellent driver and had answers to the thousand questions I asked, he also was very exact with all the extra information he gave us for the week after when we had to drive through the Garden Route.He transmitted us his love for South Africa and for wildlife and we have fallen in love with this beautiful country, full of contrasts, with extremely nice people where we have been very happy for two weeks and wish to go back in the near future. We’ve been warmly welcomed everywhere we have been to.

The organization of the trip has been excellent, everything has been as they promised and I have to say that all the accommodations have been very attractive and high quality, where it was a bit more simple at Kruger Park, Andre surprised us all with a tasty barbecue and good South African wines and enjoyable talking after dinner under the stars!.

I am sorry but I don’t have enough words in English to say how happy my holidays in South Africa have been.

Thank you very much to all the staff of your company.

Muchísimas gracias!

Best regards/Un cordial saludo

The holiday was organized over the internet with no verbal contact, which gave us some concerns.  However, they were unfounded as the whole tour was excellently organized and individually tailored to our specifications by Southern Eagle Travel and Tours.

All excursions were in very small groups which provided a very personal and individual experience.

The guides used had excellent subject knowledge and were able to answer all questions and provide good insight. 

We would have no hesitation in highly recommending this company to any people wishing to visit South Africa.

Thanks for a fantastic holiday!

It was a trip of a lifetime and Christiaan was the perfect guide.  There were too many highlights to single out one over the other, but obviously seeing the Big 5 was divine.  The food was always excellent and accommodation superb.  Even though many hours were spent driving, the auto was spacious and we passed the time playing fun car games or singing along to the radio.  Even though it was a 20 day cross country tour we feel as though it is just a tip of the iceberg and are eager to come back and experience more.  Thanks to everyone at Southern Eagle for a perfect, stress free holiday, we felt safe and at ease the entire time.  And as for you South Africa, see you soon!

Firstly, a BIG THANK YOU for arranging our wonderful trip.

Arrived to beautiful sunshine which was a wonderful start to our best holiday ever.

The Trip was extremely well organised, we were met precisely on time and taken immediately to our Hotel. Instructions were clear and concise.

On our return from Port Elizabeth we were met again on time and taken to the Dolphin Beach. The Driver was very pleasant, courteous and we had expected him to take us on our departure to Airport but another Driver took us and we were driven directly to VIP departure and a porter appeared and we were literally checked in within a few minutes from arriving. We thought this was excellent service.

As you know your company was recommended by Bob's colleague, Cyril Atkinson and we will be very happy to pass your details on to anyone you would be interested in visiting your beautiful country.

Patrick and Kathleen Purcell
Southern Eagle provided just the tour we wanted at very short notice. Our guide for the first few days, Mart van der Walt, provided us with an excellent insight to South Africa and the Kruger Park. In two days we saw the Big 5 animals and birds too numerous to mention, we also loved her stories on South African folklore. A wonderful experience.

21 January – 5 February 2007


Mr Trevor & Mrs Wendy Fawcett
We have thoroughly enjoyed the package for our Garden Route holiday put together by our good friend (Chris Birch) and Billy from Southern Eagle Tours. We enjoyed the different places we stayed at :

Cape Town - where we went up Table Mountain, Robben Island, Simonstown;

Franschhoek - wine tasting and picnic excellent!!;

Oudtshoorn - ostrich farm, a very interesting tour and my first time to sit on an ostrich; and

Addo - “icing on the cake”, wonderful guide showing us all animals except black rhino, so a further visit is a must.

Our tour guide, Brian, was very informative at all times, suggesting good eating places at each stop and went out of his way to help whenever needed

Mr & Mrs Chris Birch (travelling with Mr & Mrs Trevor Fawcett)
We have had a fantastic tour and our guide/driver Brian was excellent. The accommodation selected for us was very good. We also received courtesy and good advice from Billy when putting together our chosen Garden Route Tour. Would have no hesitation in recommending either Southern Eagle Travel and Tours or our guide Brian.

This was, in all respects, an excellent holiday. The organization was faultless and the concept of an individual tour with a personal driver/guide at a very competitive price is marvelous.

Linda and Mike Ludford
Dear Stefan,
We've arrived safely back in a very wet and windy London after any
absolutely brilliant holiday in Cape Town.

I'd just like to thank you for all your help and patience in arranging
everything for us. The Portswood Hotel was lovely, everybody there was so
kind and helpful. We couldn't have stayed in a better location.

All out tours were great, and we learned so much about the country from the
Hyltton Ross team. Their guides were very knowledgeable and went to great
lengths to make sure we didn't miss anything, and the hotels on the Garden
Route tour were marvellous. Everything was so well organised and the whole
trip far exceeded our expectations.

I've already sang your praises to anybody that will listen, so thank you
again for arranging a most memorable holiday. When (not if) we return to
South Africa we will certainly be in touch.

Kind regards, and again, thank you.

The best tour so far for us – money’s worth. Very very knowledgeable tour guide, patient and caring, excellent driver, felt very safe with her. Always willing to answer any questions – very meticulous regarding meeting needs of her clients. We have traveled the world and we will class Mart van der Walt as the top tour guide. She will bring lots of customers to your company in years to come because she treats her clients like her family. Excellent food and accommodation – we would recommend this tour to anyone, ideal for a family, old or young.

It was truly an exhilarating experience to see, hear and feel South Africa. Elben and Martie were really professional and fun-loving guides/drivers which made a difference during those long drives. The trekkers and staff at Akeru Safari Lodge were great and made every effort to make us feel welcomed. The game drives, scenic drives with fellow travelers, Julii Oh, Oscar and Dominique Bouchard were memorable. Stefan and Billy, thanks for all the planning and e-mails!

Olly and Jen Warden
Hi Stefan,

Just thought we would let you know that we had a wonderful honeymoon in South Africa and can't wait to go back again.

We must thank you and your team for putting together this package for us which proved to a fantastic experience and extremely well organised. Our tour Guide Alida proved to be invaluable and was a genuinly lovely person who looked after us from beggining to end. She always put our needs first and had extensive knowledge of not only the flora and fauna side of the park but also of South Africas history and political climate.
I would reccommend her as a guide to anyone and indeed your company with regard to the planning. Thanks also for the lovely goody basket and card upon our arrival at the Portswood, it was a lovely touch and a lovely hotel.

Regards,

We had a wonderful holiday in South Africa. Our programme was very well organized, we had a variety of interesting places to visit. We truly appreciated the presence of our 2 very knowledgeable and friendly tour guides, Brian and Amanda. We are very satisfied having seen the Big Five and enjoyed the wining and dining. The programme had some very nice highlights for the children too.

Our African experience has been fantastic, definitely made better by the professional service that was provided. The country is rich in natural beauty and the food and drink abundant. We got to see the Big 5, but thanks to our guide Ben Grobler didn’t miss any of the smaller things. Ben was very knowledgeable and had a passion for the country he was showing us. This made it great for us. Zambia and the Victoria Falls was truly awesome and the locals made us feel like family. Cape Town – “Wow”, spectacular coastline, great wines and lots and lots to do. I will certainly be recommending a trip to all my friends and we may even come back. Billy, thank you so much!!!

Thanks for arranging the safari for us. We had a wonderful time. Everything was perfect. Martie was a dream both knowledgeable and fun to be with. The accommodations at both Kruger and Chapungu lodge were great as were Rein and Lize. We saw the big five twice and a leopard cub as a bonus. Please feel free to use our testimonial.

Larry & Jenn Hirsch
I've been back for 5 days now, and wanted to send you a little more in the way of feedback and comments on the safari we had.

In one word, this was a real “lifetime” experience Jenn and I will never forget. Bravo! Wayne was great – very knowledgeable, very helpful, very flexible.

I really liked our safari - and only wish we could have stayed another day or so (the only "negative" I can say is that we did not see cheetah or leopard, and we really wanted to - but that is "luck of the draw"). South Africa is spectacular - the topography/geology is unlike anything I've ever seen, and the animal safari was "icing on the cake" so to speak. Wayne was a great tour guide - I can't say enough good things about him. He was very, very knowledgable and shared information with us in a very interesting,engaging manner. He was very courteous and flexible, tailoring the days' events to our preferences. The ride from JH up to Kruger is a long one, but after the first few hours we made some stops in very interesting locations and it broke up the trip and made it pass fairly quickly. The scenery was amazing.

Lastly, I was very fortunate and got several pictures of elephants mating on the night ride in Kruger. The Kruger guide driving the tour van that night said "this is very rare." Anyway, I have these digital pictures. If you might want them to use in your brochures or web site, let me know - I'll be glad to send them to you.

Wayne was excellent and so helpful and accommodating for all our needs, not just the tours. Also, he had such patience to deal with all our questions, especially from our 9 year old.

Susan Solomon
This was my first trip to the African continent. It was a pleasure to experience all that is different and exotic about this beautiful place while at the same time feeling safe and confident in unfamiliar surroundings. This was a well thought-out itinerary that showed me a lot of what’s special and unique about South Africa. I would recommend this place to my friends and hope to come again in the future – of course will work with Southern Eagle Tours again. Wayne (Barnes) went out of his way to ensure that everyone in our party was comfortable, had what they needed/wanted and had their questions answered promptly and completely. He had a good sense of humor and really did a great job of putting us all at ease. He was also good at anticipating questions re the itinerary, and frequently provided updates so we knew what to expect at all times. Thank you so much for a well done tour.

We had a wonderful time in South Africa, we loved it!! and surely we'll be back! I want to thank you for all your help and all the arrangements you did, it was just perfect, the service was excellent, the guides are very kind and with a lot of knowledge. We specially liked Thornybush, the room, the service, the food were incredible. The drives were amazing, we had the opportunity to see the big five several times. We saw 5 leopards in 2 days! We couldn't have found a better place for our honeymoon. We are very pleased with your service and Southern Eagle Tours. You can expect more Mexican tourists. Even more, we received an upgrade at the Metcourt Laurel, and a bottle of sparkling wine as well! Thanks a lot!!

John, Anne & Lydia Hammond
Dear Stefan,
Just a quick note of thanks for organising our holiday for us. It was fantastic! We really appreciated being met at the airport, it made us feel a lot more confident. The directions and maps were spot on. We had a good time in Pretoria. The drive through to Kruger was so beautiful. We saw loads of animals whilst staying at Satara and Oliphants Camps. The highlight of the trip has to be our two days in Akeru Sarari Camp. Wonderful facilities, food, trips out and people. We cannot recommend the place highly enough. We followed a pride of lions who were out hunting at dusk, and they used our jeep as cover for stalking impala. It is an experience we shall never forget.

Thank you very much, we shall not hesitate to recommend you to our friends.

Best wishes

Judith Brennan & Kevin Abel
Your website sold the tour – very user friendly. Andre (Liebenberg) impressed us with his polite and timely responses to my questions.

Chris (Christiaan Jooste) is very enthusiastic about giving a good tour, excellent professional integrity about the service he provides. He really likes South Africa and gave an excellent impression about his country and its rich heritage and resources. He is a fund of history and of knowledge of S.A.’s wildlife. He was very personable, professional and provided much more than what might have been expected. He was honest and has a good sense of humor. In short, we loved him and our tour! Kruger is an incredible national treasure.

The tour was much more than I could have hoped for. We covered a huge distance in 5 days but in a very enjoyable way. The guide was excellent, very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful, always made sure my accommodation was up to scratch. He was very helpful when shopping and went beyond his duties by helping me ship artifacts back to Ireland. I would look for the same guide again if coming to South Africa.

The whole tour was organized and executed with high professionalism and excellent guiding services. We had 2 tour guides, one guiding in Cape Town (Amanda Cruise) and the other in the animal parks (Christiaan Jooste). Their enthusiasm and deep knowledge in their areas were impressive. We did not have to get an “I don’t know” answer to any of our questions. Also their pleasant and positive personalities made them enjoyable company.

Our trip to Kruger National Park and Timbavati Game Reserve was a wonderful learning and entertainment experience. Thanks to Southern Eagle Tours and their great guides. It was also very relaxing for my husband who didn’t have to drive and could enjoy revisiting the country of his birth. For myself, never having been here before, I can see why South Africans love their land; wonderful diversity and breathtaking beauty. Our guide, Chris (Christiaan Jooste), for Kruger and private reserve is a super person who made our trip fun as well as informative. He was very considerate and mindful of our welfare at all times.

Thanks Southern Eagle Tours

5 000 km, 246 bird species, countless animals and some amazing overnights, but never a complaint and never a problem – just fabulous. Our tour guide, Martie (de Wijn), made our tour. Without her we would have enjoyed it less and missed a great deal. We cannot fault her in any way and would recommend her highly to others.

With so much gratitude

Johanna and Mathias Krause
Dear Stefan,
Just a quick note to express our appreciation for the incredibly well put together tour of South Africa. My husband and I had a wonderful time on our 16 day vacation, which took us from Kruger National Park, to Victoria Falls, to Cape Town, the Cape Peninsula, the Garden Route, Knysna and the Cape Wine lands. Our tour guide for the first leg of our trip, André, was incredibly knowledgeable, flexible and discreet. We consider ourselves lucky to have had the opportunity to spend a few days with him. The accommodations throughout the tour were first class, always special and many times spectacularly located. My husband and I are very satisfied with the level of service that your tour company provided. We will recommend your travel agency to all our friends and know that if they are lucky enough to book a trip through Southern Eagle, they will be in the most professional and caring hands.
Thanks again!
