Spent a magical 5 days with Alan touring. He is the consummate master at understanding what will make a great holiday for you and then making that happen.

We wanted something different and Alan delivered, making it all very easy for us.

We can't wait to go back.

The owner of African Journeys, Alan, organized our airport transfers and day tours for us in Johannesburg. The email exchanges were quick and clear. Alan understood what we needed and was in contact with us by email while we were in Johannesburg even though he was taking care of another group in Kruger. Our driver Gerhard took great care of us as we were having trouble with a reservation made by another travel agency and had received misleading information from them. He made sure that we were safe at all times and that we were able to have dinner on our first night in Johannesburg. Dave, our tour guide for Joburg and Soweto, was personable, easy going and knowledgeable. Also took us to a great shop where there were excellent deals on curios and other South African products. Overall a great experience. I would definitely recommend African Journeys.

I can absolutely recommend Alan to host your trip around Kruger.

Alan's skills to spot animals and his knowledge of the birds, plants and mammals was incredible. My Mum and I loved our trip. Alan is also great with the Brai and it was lovely sharing meals and wine with Alan in the evening too.

Thank you Alan. I'm already planning my next trip!

We used African journeys to collect us from the airport and as a return transfer from joberg airport to sun city. We were traveling as 3 women and a 4 year old child.

The drivers were very courteous and on time and were good drivers. They were accommodating if we needed bathroom stops for my child and helped us with luggage and provided water. Terrance was particularly great for our long 2.5 transfer.

I would highly recommend this service for anyone who needs to be transported around joberg and beyond.

This was a treat my aunt as well as ourselves. She hadn't been to Pretoria for 40 years and she lives in Jo'burg! Dave, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable about a wide variety of subjects including flora/fauna, animals, British/Dutch/Zulu history and an answer to all our questions. Glad we extended his services to the full day as so much to see. We even went somewhere he'd never been, the Sammy Marks museum (well worthwhile). Thanks again to him and the company for fitting us in at short notice.

Took a trip with Alan around JHB and Soweto. The half day tour. Really informative, interactive and fun. While I have lived in JHB for most of my life, I was surprised how many interesting facts and interesting tidbits I learned. Well worth while for tourists AND locals.

Alan was extremely responsive in making our arrangements for a half day tour of Soweto. Even with a 7 hour time difference, it seemed like he would respond within a few hours regardless of what time I sent an email. We had a short open time in Johannesburg and this was a perfect way to fill it. Our tour guide, Dave, was outstanding. We were able to visit several historical sites as well as getting great information about the region and the country as Dave drove us around. We would be very happy to use Alan again if we can get back to South Africa.

We have travelled with Alan at least 4 times. He has organised our complete South Africa trip, not just the safari side. He will tailor everything to what you want. Our trips to Kruger have all been immensely enjoyable. He is very knowledgeable and knows how to impart that knowledge in a way everyone can understand. Our last trip was both my husband and I’s 50th birthday and a significant wedding anniversary and unknown to us Alan had liaised with my family to arrange a special celebration, which was lovely. I have no hesitation in recommending Alan.

Alan was our guide for a wonderful birdwatching trip in Kruger Park. Alan was incredibly knowledgeable - recognising many different species, knowing a huge number of bird calls - and knowing where to go to see birds and animals. We had a fabulous time seeing 2 young male cheetah as well as a leopard in a tree with its kill and many bird species we had not seen before. He looked after us very well, cooked for us in the evenings and drove very patiently for many miles in search of birds. We thoroughly recommend him for birdwatching and animal safaris- he's the best!
