"The best trip we have ever had and we have had some wonderful holidays. Africa is a very special place - we will definitely be returning to South Africa."

"African Pride throughout have been professional and patient with the group's changing needs. I couldn’t recommend African Pride highly enough. It was a holiday that we all now hold as one of the best we have ever had!! Thank you."

Mr B

Trust stars

"We felt thoroughly spoiled and privileged to have had such a wonderful family holiday - we really enjoyed the whole experience. The boys loved the hike up Table Mountain, and cable car back down. We definitely benefited from a good exchange rate, so eating out as a family wasn’t a painful experience! The only thing I would have done differently is pack a few warmer layers for safari – always forget how cold Africa can be in the bush!"
