Madagascar

Traveled in August 2025 on their 11th trip with us! "Sikeleli Planning + Madagascar Inspiration: This was our 11th country we visited with the help of Sikeleli, and clearly there’s a reason we keep working with them! Karen had just gotten back from Madagascar and the team did a wonderful newsletter summarizing the draw, which inspired us for a once-in-a-lifetime visit to this exotic island. We ended up planning 2.5 weeks end of August/beginning September to get the best combination of adventure and relaxation (perfect weather and not a drop of rain!). Karen and Danni have such attention to detail and plan everything so well to cater to our needs (was also 3 months pregnant), that we had no doubts in our minds we would have the best experience. Guides: Every one of our guides spoke English well, constantly made sure I had enough bottled water (especially since I’m pregnant), and seamlessly handled all the logistics from place to place well. We were treated VIP the whole time, greeted at the airport by security and taken through quickly to get our visas. At times, some of our local guides were so knowledgeable in the national parks that we felt like we were speaking to scientists/biologists—very impressed! With the help of our guides, we saw over 12 types of... Read More

Traveled in August 2025 on a Kosher trip. "Leoni was the best travel planner! She made our vacation feel stress free and it was better than expected. She always makes herself available and is the most responsive person on whats app. I would recommend everyone to use her for all your africa needs. Everything was planned to the last detail. Alot of it was done last minute as well!"

Maputo, Victoria falls & Windhoek

Traveled with us 3 times across 2023, 2024 and 2025  "In October 2025 we completed our 3rd company offsite organised by Sikeleli. In 2023 we travelled to Victoria Falls for a fantastic 4 day trip and were able to fit in Dinner Cruises; a Tour of the Falls; Dinner on the Trian and the fan favourite Trip to Devils pool. In 2024 we travelled to Maputo in Mozambique where we stayed at the beautiful Polana Hotel and managed to fit in a day long trip to Inhacha Island, as well as the amazing restaurants in the area where we sampled some of the amazing local cuisine. We have just returned from of 2025 offsite trip to Swakopmund, Namibia, and all 29 of our employees gave me raving reviews from the trip. From Quad Biking in the dunes, to a full day trip on the boat whale/dolphin spotting plus a lobster braai on the beach only to finish the day off 4x4ing through the dunes, every single person was left with a smile on their face, mostly thanks to the abundance of the local oysters at every turn. None of this would have been possible without the help of the Sikeleli, and... Read More

Zimbabwe, Botswana

Traveled in August 2025 "Our special trip surpassed all of our expectations! We had a large group wanting to go on safari and started planning around a year in advance. We also had small children coming with us and we were celebrating a milestone birthday! My first call was with the travel agent, who had the best enthusiasm and confidence in delivering what we wanted. The other travel partner was my main point of contact afterwards and she probably ended up answering at least 10,000 questions for me! Each moment of the trip was specially curated and special. They did a great job finding camps that would give us a unique experience rather than becoming redundant. The hospitality at the camps and accommodations were unique and comfortable. We were all so happy with how everything went! We would definitely use this travel company again for our travel needs! The travel company made sure to have something special for my husband's birthday at each camp or lodge we stayed at. This was a nice touch. We loved all of the wonderful people who took care of us and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience."

Traveled in July 2025 "Our family trip to Victoria Falls was absolutely outstanding, and we’re incredibly grateful to Sikeleli Travel for making it so special. From the planning stages to the final day, everything was handled with care and professionalism. Chiedza, our representative, was fabulous—warm, responsive, and detail-oriented. She made sure every part of our journey was smooth and enjoyable. One of the most unforgettable moments was our daughter getting engaged at the Falls—truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! The staff at Sabakwe were also exceptional. Their hospitality and attentiveness added so much to our stay, and we felt genuinely cared for throughout. Our Highlights & Favourite Experiences:​ Our daughter’s engagement at Victoria Falls.The beautiful accommodations and seamless logistics.​ The warmth and professionalism of the Sabakwe team. Everything was well within our budget and timeline. The trip offered excellent value for money."

Into the Heart of Botswana

A Safari Journal by Danni Ponter  There’s a moment just before dawn in the Okavango Delta when the world holds its breath. The canvas of your tent stirs gently in the pre-dawn breeze. The first bird calls filter through the silence, a fish eagle’s cry, sharp and ancient. You step onto your private deck, bare […]
