Testimonials from happy customers

  • "My wife and I have travelled extensively. This trip with Stephan was easily the most memorable we’ve been on. Nearly every day in South Africa left us humble and speechless. Stephan is simply an awesome passionate individual who never disappoints. If you have any hesitation about this opportunity, or any other that Stephan provides, put it to rest and simply make it happen. I promise, you will not be disappointed"

  • "I had the pleasure in January of 2020 to accompany Stephan on one of his excursions to South Africa. It was the trip of a lifetime for me and Stephan did not disappoint. Every detail of the trip was perfectly planned and first class the whole way. He kept us busy - taking us to so many wonderful places in the Capetown area. Then it was over to Johannesburg and on to the beautiful Nkorho safari lodge on the Sabi Sands Game Reserve where we were treated like royalty and shown the beauty of the area and it’s wonderful animal kingdom. It was amazing! The accommodations on the entire trip were top notch and Stephan’s extensive knowledge of the country ensured that we saw everything it had to offer. I dream to go back and when I do it will definitely be with Stephan!"

  • "TRIP OF A LIFETIME! THE EXPERIENCE WAS LIKE NO OTHER; LOCKING EYES WITH A LEOPARD, WATCHING LIONS MATE, THE CHILL OF HEARING THE ROARS OF A PRIDE AFTER MAKING A KILL, SURROUNDED BY A HERD OF HUGE ELEPHANTS, SPOTTING A LEOPARD AFTER DARK... THIS ONLY TOUCHES THE SURFACE OF A NEW EXPERIENCE EVERY DAY! THE TRIP ITSELF WAS SO WELL ORGANIZED. GREAT ACCOMMODATION + GREAT FOOD!"

  • "I went on a 2 week African safari with Stephan in early 2020. The trip was an amazing once in a lifetime experience and surpassed all my expectations,... and they were high to start with! A huge reason for this was Stephan's thorough research and planning, attention to detail, his calm presence and maybe most importantly, his sincere desire to make this a unique and positive adventure. He truly cares about his guests and about the animals, the accommodations, the food, the group experience, all of it! I am so grateful I was able to gain so much knowledge through Stephan and thank him for encouraging me to slow down and absorb the animals in their world.... I would without hesitation recommend him as a guide, he made all the difference and he elevated the whole experience! Thank you so very much AGAIN Stephan!"

    Darlene Dyck

  • "Memorable, amazing, exhilarating, surprising are all words that come to mind, when we recall our trip to South Africa! Stephan's genuine interest in people, his deep appreciation for nature, his extensive knowledge of photography, and his commitment to facilitating a memorable experience set the tone for a trip that stands out as a highlight of our travels! Stephan's knowledge of South Africa and his attention to detail, from travel itineraries to lodging and dining to the guided experiences he arranged for our group, made the entire trip, while very busy, still relaxed, comfortable and safe. Keeping the size of our group small, allowed for a more intimate experience on the safari, and resulted in the development of new and lasting friendships"
