      Great experience, booking was made absolutely special as it was my fiancé 40th Birthday, Tatenda made every effort to notify the lodge that we stayed at in Welgevonden, Tshwene Lodge, they made it the most memorable day. It was easy to book through Your Perfect Africa, highly recommended.

      Words almost escape me — Monwana Game Reserve exceeded every expectation we had. From the beautiful lodge and rooms, to the dining experience where you are free to select your own wine from the cellar to pair with your favourite dish, to the incredibly warm and friendly staff who go out of their way to make you feel completely at home, every aspect of our stay was exceptional. And last, but certainly not least, our guides EJ and Nick were outstanding. They went above and beyond to make sure our game-drive experience was second to none. I can honestly say, on behalf of our family of four, that this experience has topped our Botswana trip — and that is saying a lot! Lastly, Sydney, thank you for your incredible assistance, communication and professionalism throughout. Your attention to detail made an already special trip even better. We will most certainly be booking through you again and will have no hesitation in recommending Your Perfect Africa to our friends and family.

      My wife and I decided on Friday to go to a private game lodge on Sunday. Nadia was still able to find something that fit our budget and location needs perfectly by Friday afternoon and confirm the booking to us by 5 pm the same day. I enquired with Bush Breaks as well but Nadia was able to get me a better lodge at an excellent price. Will definitely book with them again for future trips.

      Sydney was professional, efficient, and passionate from the moment she picked up my query. She made sure that all our logistics were dealt with and checked in with us many times before our departure. I highly recommend making use of Your Perfect Africa for any bush experiences, they are in their own league!

      A big thanks to Your Perfect Africa for making our experience on safari as seamless and perfect as possible. From the moment I made contact with them with my brief, they were professional, efficient and made on the mark recommendations for me to choose from. Once my choice was made, I could sit back and just wait for what was an incredible experience. Thank you YPA and Robyn in particular!
