It was amazing! It exceeded all of our expectations! 27 minutes into our 1st safari in the Masai, we witnessed our 1st kill! we were looking at a beautiful cheetah and she just stood up, crouched and took off! It was thrilling & exciting to be witnessing the circle of life! Then in the same safari we saw a jaguar, multiple male & female lions with babies, elephants, giraffes, a hyena and multiple other amazing animals. Our Guide was floored that we saw so much in 3 hours, he actually stopped the truck, turned around & asked us who the magic one was! We told him that we now had high expectations for the next day! We ended up seeing all of the big 5 throughout the entire trip! Just blessed, very lucky and thankful! We look forward to booking our next vacation with Gate 1!

The trip was fantastic. Great itinerary. Got to see 4 of the Big 5. Our tour manager, John Finch, was the best I have ever encountered. He was so knowledgeable and every local he encountered he could converse in their local language.

Our trip was amazing - our guides Joel and Simon were really great. Joel the main guide kept everything well organized while Simon our safari guide was really patient, knowledgeable as well as always followed our request. We felt like being on a private safari in our car. It was amazing. The Hotels were nice. Our whole experience met our expectations! I will travel with Gate 1 more for sure :)

Amazing! Far exceeded my expectations. South Africa is a beautiful country. I loved Cape Town and could stay there for even longer but I am so happy that the tour took us to so many different locations of stunning scenery. I feel we had the best tour director ever, Renier. He was very informative of each place we visited and answered all of our questions. He was funny and I am pretty sure he had a lot of fun with this group as well. The people I traveled with were wonderful and we made many friends along the journey. I'm so happy to have luckily picked Gate 1 for our first adventure/group trip. I'm excited about the next one!

It was a great trip. I have to say, we have been on many guided tours and travel usually twice a year with Gate 1, Trafalgar, Viking, Avalon, etc. and have never had a guide as wonderful as Don. He was amazing in so many ways, he made our trip complete. His knowledge is unparalleled and his enthusiastic way of presenting that knowledge was simply outstanding. It would only be better if Don could guide every trip we took. As far as Africa, what can I say but it was simply beautiful. The tour was fast-paced, but we knew that going in we'd be covering quite a bit of ground. It was a great itinerary, and I would do it all over again. Thanks for an amazing trip!!!!

Our trip was incredible - the best Gate 1 trip yet. Accommodations were above the normal standards & the Lake Elmentaita Serena Camp was just amazing!! Our Guide/Driver, Yusuf, was terrific - took us to see SO MANY animals. My wife & I were thrilled because we were “introducing” our family to Africa (including a 12 year old grandson and an 8 year old granddaughter). The experience was even better than if we had tried to design it all beforehand. Well done, all.

It was incredible. Laurence was the best tour guide that my wife and I have ever had. His knowledge of his country, great sense of humor, attention to detail, and true sense of care for everyone on our tour made our trip the best that we have ever been on. I just wish Laurence could guide all of the Gate 1 tours in the world!

My trip to South Africa was amazing! I am thankful to Gate 1 for making it such a memorable trip. The flights, hotels, and food were wonderful and I was very satisfied with all the accommodations. The itinerary gave me a very in depth look at South African history, the people and their way of life. Our tour guide Dexter was wonderful, knowledgeable, attentive and very kind. Our two bus drivers, February and Elvis were wonderful and made us feel very safe. The safaris were amazing! It was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me and I am happy I did it with Gate 1. I will definitely continue to travel with Gate 1 and recommend it highly to my family and friends.

Extremely knowledgeable about the countries, cultures, wildlife, etc. he was also very organized and related well to everyone in the diverse group. Thanks to Gate 1 for an awesome vacation!

We have a fantastic time, it really was a great holiday. Roger was a very able tour guide, charming, very informative & a likable bloke. The tour was good and full of highlights, the best being the safaris of course. We saw the big 5 so that was a big deal for us, plus so many animals and birds - truly amazing experiences. Also, the hotels were a surprise, not sure what we were expecting, but these were much better than that. So top marks Gate 1. Above all, well done.

We greatly enjoyed our trip to South Africa. Cape Town has such amazing beauty in its scenery and on the safari we had great opportunity to see wildlife up close. Thank you Gate 1!

Incredible doesn’t begin to describe it! From the moment we were met at the airport until the moment we left it just kept getting better. The accommodations were outstanding. The highlight though of course were the game drives. All of our drivers were so extremely knowledgeable which allowed us to track and see all of the Big 5. Don was our tour manager and he just made everything seem so effortless although I know there was a lot of coordination going on in the background. It won’t be our last visit to Africa or our last trip with Gate 1....thanks for the trip of a lifetime!

I have to say this was truly the trip of a lifetime...and that's coming from an experienced, life-long traveler. Gate 1 Travel does it right - accommodations were impeccable, beautifully located, and well appointed. Colleen Webster, our guide, was exceptional. She put her heart and soul into making sure everyone was well cared for and had a memorable trip. She went above and beyond for me and the others. This trip was seamless and I will never forget one single minute of it. Thank you!

The trip itself was TERRIFIC!! I'm not certain if all your guides in Africa are as knowledgeable as Jason Mair, but his command of the tour group and his knowledge ... When it came to the animals, he certainly knew his business and was able to assist us in getting the best photos because he knew, instinctively, what the animal's reaction was going to be in each situation.

Our trip was absolutely great. There was nothing for us to worry about. The organisational skills of the Tour Guide was exceptional. We enjoyed the trip so much that we have been actively promoting Gate1 as a travel agent. Now a word about our tour guide Stuart McMillan. Stuart is by far the best tour guide that we have ever had and I say that since my wife and I have travelled extensively since 2001... He was extremely friendly, knew his stuff, compassionate, thoughtful and above all just a great guy ... We wish we meet up with him again on future Gate1 trips. Great one Gate1, keep up the good work. Our group will definitely be back and we are currently looking at a trip to see more wildlife in Africa through your organisation in 2020.

PHENOMENAL! The sights, the animals, and the people. Africa was everything we expected and more. Even the weather cooperated; much more moderate than the historical weather data predicted. If it weren't for the distance and the long, LONG, L-O-N-G plane rides, we'd love to go back.

My Gate1 tour to South Africa, Swaziland, Zimbabwe, and Botswana was fabulous!! The tours, food, hotel rooms, our guide Jason Muir, and all the amazing wildlife we saw were all wonderful. It certainly cost more than my other 12 Gate1 tours, but it was worth the cost. I would recommend it to anyone. I forgot to mention that the local people of all the countries were very helpful, friendly, and very SMILEY!!

We loved, loved, loved our trip. Our Gate 1 tour guide Tesse is a gem! As it was our first time in South Africa, it was far more than we expected! The tour group that we were assigned to were just fabulous people. We just meshed as a team! The Cape Town and Johannesberg bus drivers and our Mabula game driver George were knowledgeable, patient, and safe drivers!...I will tell my friends and family about our experiences and your wonderful service!

We thoroughly enjoyed the trip. We had good weather except for rain on the last day, and Colleen our tour guide did an excellent job...Everyone we met in South Africa was friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed all the scenic tours as well as the great white shark cage diving. The only challenge in the tour was the long flights to get there, but we knew that up front...I would recommend this well planned tour to anyone.
