I'm looking to do a Cape Tohn to Johannesburg safari tour later on this year and I'm wondering which company to go with. Both Acacia Africa and African Overland Tours, who are part of Escape 4 Africa, have tours I'm interested in.
African Overland Tours are my favourite at the moment as the itinerary looks a bit better. However, I'm having problems finding reviews about them on the internet. Does anyone have any experience with them?
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Head for http://www.facebook.com/Acacia.Africa and look under Acacia Life - real wanderers - hope you find some useful information there - happy travels =)

Reply to this In response to: Msg #136515 Hi Jasmine, Kenya is really the best place to start, but tourism in eastern Africa as a whole is better developed than in other regions. You can't beat the Mara and the annual migration (July-September =) Acacia Africa offer over family tagged safaris so you can see at a glance what's suitable. It would depend on the age of your children, but as an alternative Madagascar is a wonderful country to explore by dhow, secluded beaches, friendly lemurs (have a great pic if you'd like to take a look=)) and amazing snorkeling opportunities.
Reply to this Hi Jasmine, there are so many safari attractions in south africa and many companies who offer it, you are literally spoilt for choice! It helped me to get started with the planning to find all the reviews and info the different <snip> listed together there. May be it can give you a few pointers. Good luck with the safari! Hope you enjoy South African holiday as much as we did!
