We have had a truly memorable week-and-a-bit in Africa, staying in luxurious accommodations and having many close encounters with animals we have never seen in the wild before, with the help of your hugely efficient guide. We were really impressed by Mary-Anne. As well as being highly knowledgeable, capable and funny, she took incredibly good care of us - in particular she did everything she could to ensure that our little boy enjoyed himself and wasn't bored on the long drives. We really can't thank her enough!

Helen McKee, UK

We had a great tour. Andre is most knowledgeable and thoughtful and helpful and his conversation, comments, information and suggestions helped to make our trip so wonderful. Namibia is beautiful in all its rugged splendor!

A superior tour company; couldn't have been any better. Excellent tour guides, and accommodations, and office staff. Tour guides Mary-Anne Finlay and André Hamann were so knowledgeable - the BEST! Mike & Jenetta Walsh, Canada
Our first trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe included two safari lodges in and near the Kruger National Park, a visit to the Victoria Falls, a stay in Cape Town, and a driving trip along the Garden Route in the Western Cape. African Sky responded quickly to our request for a tour proposal and promptly answered all of our follow-up queries. We were very pleased with our trip, with all of the flights, transfers and accommodation working out extremely well. We would certainly recommend African Sky to others planning a trip to South Africa. George & Meredith Park, Australia
African Sky provided an individually tailored safari experience with great flexibility in response to our energy levels and what the animals were doing. They provided an effective response to initial e-mail inquiries and a professional level of detail, which is why we booked with them. Mary-Anne is a gem. Highly knowledgeable, very engaging, infectious in her enthusiasm, and nothing was too much trouble. The individual care from and rapport with our guide was key to our experience – she was outstanding. Justin & Adele Rees, UK
Thank you, African Sky, for helping make our dream come true. From the first e-mail correspondence, I knew I chose the right company. Andrew was very responsive and helped us pick the right activities and camps to make this trip an absolute success. Traveling with African Sky is simply delightful. He have fallen in love with this beautiful country and are already planning our next trip to Africa. Diana McCarthy & Jayden Righetti, USA

African Sky did everything right. Andrew was great in putting the whole trip together. Amanda gave a fine day tour of Cape Town. Mary-Anne was great in getting the trip started and picking me up at the end. I will refer my friends to African Sky and definitely use African Sky again!

Frank Linkous, USA

Mary-Anne was excellent! Her knowledge is unbelievable. We learned so much about the animals, about the habitat, and South Africa itself. The personal service was great. If you are looking for the best safari experience then look no further than African Sky. Their knowledgeable staff will make it an unforgettable experience.

Matthew Olafsen, USA

Cannot fault anything. Replies were prompt. Hennie was efficient, and made sure all that had to be taken care of was. From our departure in Johannesburg to to our arrival at The Outpost and back, people were there waiting for us. It ran very smoothly. We had nothing to worry about while using their service.

Sunil Gidumal, UK

Mary-Anne was amazing. Her knowledge of Kruger, route choices, spotting animals and her in-depth knowledge of the animals and park are fantastic. On top of that, Mary-Anne improvised to help me get memorable photos. Other parts of the tour were also wonderful. Despite spending 4-5 days in Kruger, it remains on my bucket list to continue such a memorable experience as I have just had. Will I be back? You bet!

Loren Shure, USA

Our tour was wonderful. I cannot say enough about Mary-Anne professionalism and her willingness to please those on the trip. She was so helpful! Enjoyed our trip very much. Thank you!

From the moment we contacted African Sky, Andrew was amazing to deal with. He responded quickly to all our questions. He listened to our requests and helped us make the right decisions for an incredible trip. African Sky was always available when we needed to ask questions. The advice given to us was valuable and accurate. The entire trip was probably the best trip we have ever taken. All the safaris were incredible. Our initial introduction to South Africa through Andre was wonderful. He never rushed us and his knowledge and delivery is one of a kind – a great ambassador for African Sky and South Africa. We usually organize our own trips and travel a great deal. African Sky made our trip easy and seamless. We would definitely recommend African Sky to others. It made our trip worry-free – an adventure we will never forget.

Marc & Sylvia Deschamps, Switzerland

This trip has given us a much greater understanding of South Africa. We were able to explore areas that would have been difficult to explore on our own. Mary-Anne was a wonderful guide. Her knowledge of the various battles fought was vast, and she met all our expectations on the subject. She also proved an excellent guide concerning the history and wildlife of South Africa. We enjoyed her company very much.

24 Years Experience

So happy we went with African Sky. Prompt, knowledgeable guides. Picked up on our love of animals and birds and gave us more time during those activities. African Sky planned everything and we didn't have to plan or worry about a single thing. They tailored our trip based on our interests and were easy to work with during the planning phase (very responsive to e-mails). Would highly recommend. Anne Hallock & Brian Engler, USA
We are sure glad we chose African Sky and the best guide I could ask for (Mary-Anne). Anything you want to know, she most likely knows the answer, especially regarding the birdlife in Kruger Park. I only have good things to say about African Sky. Nothing is overlooked and the tour ran like a fine watch. Dave Widby, USA
African Sky provided excellent services. We have been traveling for many years and the guides in South Africa (especially in Kruger) were the best we have ever experienced. African Sky provided personalized services that were very accommodating to our every wish. The level of enthusiasm, knowledge and dedication of the staff, especially our guides, was outstanding. There is simply no better way to experience South Africa than with African Sky. Oscar Marina, USA

We are extremely happy and satisfied with the service provided through African Sky. Lisa was very professional and helpful in providing safari options and giving feedback which the made the situation easy. Our tour guide Alida was exceptional and made sure that we were always comfortable and pleased throughout the trip. The entire experience was a highlight - from being in South Africa for the first time, to visiting the Kruger National Park, to driving from Joburg to the park and getting some background history throughout the drive. Our trip couldn't have been any better if we tried. I will always use African Sky for any future trip and will be referring the company to all who are considering making the trip. The trip exceeded expectations, especially the level of comfort and knowledge provided by Alida throughout the safari. Topnotch guide experience.

Zac Taormina, USA

The pre-tour advice and booking was excellent and by return. The Victoria Falls and Chobe tour is action-packed and full of interest. The battlefields tour is a must for anyone interested in the war history. Having experienced guides made the tours come alive.

Peter Deering, UK

My husband and I had the best honeymoon! We didn't have to worry about a single thing. Andrew Harvey took care of every minor detail in our trip so that when we got there, everything was in line. The tour guide, Nicolene, was very professional and made us feel as though we were really experiencing the culture of South Africa. I enjoyed every moment and cannot wait to book my next trip with African Sky.

Sarah & Daniel Holt, USA

I requested information very last minute – four days before I wanted to leave for my safari in Kruger – and I had a quick response and was able to book. My tour guide (Mary-Anne) picked me up on time. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about her work. Very attentive to the client's needs. She made me feel comfortable and at ease.

Celine Beauparlant, Canada

Thank you to African Sky for providing excellent service, planning and communication for our Southern African sojourn. Andrew worked closely with us to arrange the trip of a lifetime for my husband and myself. He worked within our budget and time constraints to cover four countries in 37 days. We would definitely recommend African Sky!

Judy & Donald Baker, USA

African Sky provided us with the perfect tour for the limited time we had. We were pleased with the accommodations chosen for us and our guide Mary-Anne kept us entertained during our game drives and long days in the car. She was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to spot animals miles away. She even found us two leopards! We hope to come back again someday!

Andrew & Kristy Grant, USA

This was our second safari vacation with African Sky and it didn't disappoint. The communication during the planning phase was exceptional and meant that everything was in place before we even stepped on a plane. Bookings were all in place, activities were arranged and prepaid so we didn't have to worry about a thing and could just enjoy our vacation. This is exactly how it's supposed to go!

Erica Slotter & Paul Hopper, USA & UK

All aspects of my interactions with African Sky were topnotch, particularly the professionalism and knowledge of my primary contact and trip planner, Andrew Harvey, who made excellent recommendations on itinerary planning with cost considerations for my primary safari objective. The tour guides, Andre in Cape Town and Kurt in Namibia, had outstanding knowledge of locations and especially animal behavior. All aspects of the itinerary were well planned and meticulously executed. African Sky is a quality organization and have a solid thumbs up for me for anyone seeking a great vacation experience in South Africa.

Ravi Rajaram, USA

I discovered African Sky by chance on the Internet and from the very beginning of dealing with them, I felt confident that they were going to provide me with the service I was looking for. From the start, Andrew was extremely professional in helping me with the itinerary I wanted and the information he sent was complete and accurate. Throughout our trip, we felt that African Sky were behind us at all times. The guides were excellent and nothing was too much trouble for them. Andre had lunch with us and helped us eat out in the evenings in the best restaurants of Cape Town.

Joan Marugan, UK

African Sky is prompt and thorough in all aspects of touring - from the planning stages to implementation while on tour. The office staff is always available and appropriate in responding to enquiries and/or running interference when there is an issue. We had no worries and were able to enjoy the leisurely experience we wanted for this portion of our trip.
