Testimonial 1:

We enjoyed our trip to Victoria Falls , were picked up at the airport andeverything went smoothly. Trips organised by Island went also smoothly. The only issue was the dinner at Boma that the driver who picked us up insisted that he would pick us up at 9-00pm which was far too early , would have preferred to picked up at 9-45pm.Other than that very happy with service.Trust the following will assist.

Kind regards
Martin

Alison, we came back home after truly wonderful time. We all loved Benguerra - being so closed to the beach and feel almost like we were the only ones there. The places in Botswana were all fantastic. Each a little different then the other. I think it was great that we had at least one tented camp experience. If we were to go there again this is the kind of accommodation we liked most. Of course we have seen most animals in Chobe and Mujenche Lodge was a great place to stay. The atmosphere there was very special and they have really good guides. After that going to Livingston felt to cosmopolitan, but the hotels location is the best there and we made good use of it going to the Falls every day. After going to Zimbabwe side for elephant safari I was glad we did not have to stay there. Thanks for arranging everything so well. We already started talking about getting back to Africa next year. I shall get back to you about it, but I think it could be Namibia. Thanks again – Gosia and the rest of very happy Pilch Family

We had an excellent support during the booking process , my Island safari’s contact Mrs Claudia was really king and available in order to find the best suitable tour for us.We had good support at JNB Airport ,your rep explained also direction by car towards our destination in Kwazulu natal region.Our stay at Shayamoya was short , infact the driving time from Johannesburg to Pongola (after more then 10 hours of plane ) was too long ( 5/6 hours of car) .Shayamoya lodge is nice but only for 1 or two nights.Our stay at Kosi forest was really pleasant , king managers , good food (the best we had in the whole tour) exiting activities especially “canoe with the guides” ( it rained only one day and we didn’t know what to do because of the wet weather and no heating in the tend , the little negative point ).Our stay al Thonga beach has been an amazing experience , lodges are very very beautiful , well integrated in the landscape , white beaches , interesting activities , we enjoyed a lot sunset at Lake Sibyia. The food was good but we would suggest a more simple cousin – less dressing – more grilled food meat and fish – hoping to return at thonga !!!.Our stay at Isibindi Zulu lodge surprised my husband and me …. We really enjoyed this new experience , the lodge is nice , excellent food , a good note to the manager . He was really kind and explained us tradional zulu life , we visited with him a real zulu village.We also enjoyed driving from thonga to zulu lodge discovering different landscape along the way , probably the only negative note was the 7 hours drive to reach Isibindi zulu lodge.About Botswana probably 4 days weren’t enough to discover more deeply beautiful parks .We think that Safari lodges in Botswana are really expensive comparing the rates with quality of lodges and quality of food.Activities are well organized but for example at Savute lodge we didn’t see a lot of wild animals ( no zebra , no giraffe no buffalo ect) because of the dry period all animals where up to chobe park near the river.Considering that in 4 days we spent 5000 euro in Botswana , this high amount doesn’t balance the quality of the trip , even if we had a good time for sure.We also felt different approach toward lodge’s manager , Xugana lodge was very comfortable, nice and kind people very friendly.At Savute we didn’t have a good feedback , also the food was not so special related to the daily rate.I Keep South Africa as my favourite Country.I apologize for my engling.CIAO from Italy.

So folks,there you have it.Hope,choosing Island Safari as your tour operator,are much clearer now.
