AFRICANMECCA REVIEWS
What are our Customers saying about our safari holidays?
On behalf of myself, my wife and my two adult daughters, I want to sincerely thank you and AfricanMecca Safaris for our fabulous recent safari. Everything you promised exceeded our expectations and was superb, which is saying a lot since this was our second trip, having had a wonderful Botswana Safari 10 years ago. Do not ever hesitate to use me as a reference.
Robert Schenkein - prVision Photography Studio - Colorado, United States
Chobe was delightful, less than half full. Sussi and Chuma, very nice, again only 13 people in all. All the game drives and river cruises were excellent. We had great weather. The ability to get really close is in inspiring. EVERYWHERE we went, the people were warm, helpful and charming. Thank you so much. We will be recommending your services to all.
Thomas Kelch - California, United States
Raza Visram at AfricanMecca planned the most amazing trip for my friend and I. I wanted to go to 4 countries in 15 days and he made it happen. It was an aggressive itinerary and Raza planned it so well, that the transitions were seamless. The last leg of the trip was Botswana for another Safari and we stayed at the most beautiful lodge. The excitement in seeing the animals so closely is indescribable.
Karin Alsdorf - New Jersey, United States
I had a wonderful trip to Africa and I would highly recommend your company.I have been to Africa many times and I have never had such wonderful service. The guide and safari vehicle were both great and all the lodges were outstanding. We will be going to Africa again the year after next and I assure you I will be contacting you. Thanks again for arranging such a great trip.

Our Botswana safari was FANTASTIC! It truly was a luxury, but rustic enough, safari. We really loved our trip! We saw everything here. From lions to leopards to elephants to buffalos. Our guide, Rams was truly amazing. He really knew his stuff! While on the bush walks we encountered zebras, warthogs and much more. Thanks for your help! We will definitely do another trip within a year.
Duncan Rosen - Florida, United States
Thank you for everything; we had an amazing honeymoon. Words really can't describe our experience, all we can really say was that it was the most amazing experience of our lives and we would recommend AfricanMecca to anyone. We hope to visit Africa again sometime next year! Thank you & all of your staff for an amazing & perfect honeymoon.

We recognize that each guest has personal priorities, interests, budget and travel preferences, and we take the time to truly and holistically understand how you envision your African experience. Unlike other generalist tour operators or mass produced travel agency selling brochure tours where safaris are more of a commodity on the screen or print rather than an authentic travel experience, we prefer to customize our safaris for you based on our own personal comparative visits of the parks, camps, lodges as a wholesome experience, and we only provide our guests with recommendations that will exceed their expectations.

4. AfricanMecca Native Perspective
Our cultural tours take you beyond the standard and brief walking tours to inside the homes of native tribes where you engage in traditions and ceremonies of local communities. You hear Africa’s human history from village elders, and you learn firsthand about the techniques used for tracking, spotting, farming and healing. Our conservation efforts go beyond awareness and give you the opportunity to participate in tree planting, educational programs and rehabilitation programs. When your AfricanMecca Safaris tour ends, you take home our gift of cherished memories, incredible stories and a new appreciation for the land, people and its wildlife. We believe that through travel, we make the world a better place. In all that we do, the protection of the land, wildlife and people of Africa are always taken into consideration. By incorporating local villages in our guest service operations, we overcome the deficiency that leads to hardships for humans and wildlife alike. Our efforts also empower local communities to improve their quality of life through employment and preserve their beliefs and traditions by sharing their culture with the world.
We invite you to learn more about our company, our services and our homeland, and we look forward to designing your ultimate African adventure and hosting you on our safaris and tours.
