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."

Rwanda, Tanzania, Kenya, Zimbabwe and South Africa

Traveled in June 2025 "The cultures and geographic sites experienced along the way on our 5 nation tour / safari. From visiting the mountain gorillas and Golden Monkeys of Rwanda, to the migration of vast species (hoofed and winged) across the plains of Kenya and Tanzania, the signature mist and sun showers that define Victoria Falls, the African penguins of South Africa, the sites of Cape Town and Cape Peninsula. There is so much too see, so much to do, so little time. We did not stumble across Sikeleli Travel by chance, but took glowing recommendations to use them from multiple friends who have used their services in the past. The website provides a good visual representation of what they have accomplished, and what they can deliver in the future.   We have already have recommended to many. In addition friends who recommended Sikeleli Travel to us are about to take another coordinated trip. Word of mouth is the best advertisement as you only get to make a first impression once. Sikeleli Travel impressed."

Travelled in May2024 Botswana, Victoria Falls & South Afriuca

Traveled in May 2024 "A much belated but heartfelt THANK YOU for putting together for us one of the BEST VACATIONS EVER!  I'm sorry it has taken so long to put my thoughts down in an email to you.  It's so embarrassing.  I think of this trip often with fond memories.  It was a WOW from beginning to end.  And your responsiveness and patience with us as first time travelers to Africa with so many questions is much appreciated.   We especially LOVED BOTSWANA and our time in the Okavango Delta at Xugana Island Lodge and in Chobe National Park at Ngoma Safari Lodge.  The staff at both lodges were so warm, friendly, and customer-service orientated, the accommodations were great, and our guides were top notch (as was our guide at Old Drift Lodge near Victoria Falls).  Everyone's favorite was Xugana -- a bit more rustic and the communal meals were a treat -- such interesting guests and staff members -- eating on the deck overlooking the lake. A very close second camp -- in our book -- was Ngoma at Chobe.  More posh.  The abundance of wildlife in Chobe exceeded all of our wildest expectations.  The photo in the... Read More

Traveled in May 2025 "This was an absolute trip of a lifetime! Everything was exquisitely planned down to the finest detail, and we could not be happier with the level of service provided by Sikeleli! Every aspect of the trip was a highlight, but certainly our favorite was the amazing safari experience! Nothing to improve on, this trip was perfectly planned and all of our wishes were 100% accommodated! After only a few days home I have already passed along how fantastic Sikeleli is to all of our friends and family Thank you so much for making this such an amazing experience! Karen was tremendously helpful, and immediately responsive to all questions. We will be forever grateful to her for creating these wonderful memories for our family! All of our transfers and airport escorts were great. We are completely unused to having that kind of help, as previously we have always planned our own travel. It is amazing how low-stress it is to have all of the small logistics of a trip 100% taken care of. Every one of the Colossal staff was wonderful and helpful, and the young lady that escorted Kate gets a gold star!! All transfer vehicles... Read More
