South Africa, Botswana, and Zimbabwe

Traveled in August 2025 on their 11th trip with us! Our guest had an unforgettable African adventure every detail, from wildlife encounters to luxury stays, came together perfectly: "The entire trip was seamless and fabulous. The accommodations were spectacular, the food was delicious, the beauty of the African sunrises and sunsets cannot be described in words, and the staff and guides everywhere we went were so friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. The elephants at Sable Alley were something I'll never forget, especially when one acted like it wanted to charge us! I ended up with some splinters in my hand from that event, but the staff at Sable Alley were excellent and got me all fixed up right away. Also at Sable Alley, our guide Ceejay was incredibly patient with my nervous mother and held a wealth of information about the Delta. I felt like nothing could go wrong while under his supervision. The luxury at Dulini Moya was something I've never experience before, and I continue to rave about the meals we had there. My faves: the kudu carpaccio eggs benedict and the curries they served us upon arrival. Wayne and Tyron were such a great duo for our game... Read More

Traveled in August 2025 on their 11th trip with us! Here’s a glimpse of one guest’s incredible experience, filled with unforgettable wildlife encounters, expert guidance, and seamless service from start to finish: " So hard to choose- but our first morning game drive of our first game drive ever we saw so much action. From a wild dog hunt to a crocodile capturing a red lechwe to watching a leopard and her two cubs. Really breathtaking! Very professional. Lots of information with beautiful photography. I’ve been singing your praises. No complaints at all. So wonderful to have the meet & greet at each airport arrival and departure… Dreaming of our next trip."

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 Is Everything You’ve Been Missing

A Safari Journal by Chiedza There’s a peculiar feeling that washes over you when the world finally sees what you’ve known all along. When Forbes named Zimbabwe the #1 destination for 2025 this August, I didn’t feel vindicated so much as I felt… relieved. Relieved that travelers might finally look beyond the headlines and see […]

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 […]
