Etali Safari Lodge

We just returned to London and wanted to thank you for the excellent service and organisation. Everything worked like clockwork and we had the most marvelous time.

Hi Jenny-Lee, just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our trip. Our expectations were exceeded in every sense and everything ran like clockwork. It was a fantastic experience and the planning was done to perfection.

I have to say that this was truly a wonderful experience. The responsiveness from you has been phenomenal and it made the entire booking process pleasant and stress-free.

I want to thank you for an incredible experience. Our son was really able to fulfill his dream. Accommodation, guide, the Kosher Chef’s cooking, all were first class and we were treated wonderfully everywhere.

All lodges were brilliant and everything was found exactly as planned by you.

Thank you for everything you have done to set up a fabulous trip for us.

A very enjoyable experience. Thank you for a wonderful holiday!

“This was a trip of a lifetime, your planning, secret tips, accommodation recommendations, maps, etc all added up to a fantastic experience. Thank you.”

“We had an insightful and moving experience and the guides were very well educated and our visits to both the tourism attractions and charity projects was a great combination for our group.”

“Thank you for arranging an amazing experience as part of this international conference. Having dinner with your family at your home was also an unexpected surprise despite you having to care for over 700 delegates. We look forward to hosting you in Germany soon.”

“The helicopter flight deep into the mountains, the silver service picnic, the gracious attention of Ron Gold as a world class tourguide. Our group could not have asked for a better experience and we are grateful again for your successful planning of yet another annual trip to South Africa through your company. Our friends from Hamburg and Thailand were most impressed.”

“The idea of purchasing a charity safari is wonderful. This is my second trip in 4 years, and knowing the profits of the donated nights went to a good cause made it all the more enjoyable. Thank you for taking such good care of our other Canadian guests through the years and this time spoiling myself and my sister on a great safari.”

“The entire trip was very well organised, and the 5 star exclusive safaris in the Okavango Delta were an absolute highlight for both sets of parents. Nic was a great tourguide, and thank you for taking the time as the owner of the business to meet us personally in Cape Town for lunch and sharing your passion and stories about social upliftment and tourism.”

Everything has been great - we really enjoyed the trip!

The hotels were very good with AMAZING service - pleasant, efficient and considerate. The lodge owners made us feel very welcome and gave us the feeling of being guests in someone's home.

We had a wonderful trip. The best part were the game drives in Sabi Sand. We loved it! And also the accommodation were great. The hotel staff were so nice. I had to cry when we left because of the kindness of the people. Our kids were also positively in shock of the kindness of all the people. All the African people are so very kind. The Dutch people can learn something from that.

"We are now safely back in Jerusalem, the children are back in school and we remain with the wonderful memories of our trip. I want you to know that we were extremely satisfied with the planning, the attention to detail, the helpfulness and the responsiveness of your company and particularly of Tanya, from the moment that she became our point person. It is not easy to plan so complicated an itinerary from a distance, particularly combining it with the issues of kashrut and Shabbat, and you did this excellently. Thank you. Look forward to returning to South Africa with more grandchildren in the future!"

"Hi Tanya We just got back from S.A. First of all, I want to thank you for the great Holiday that you organized for us. Our vacation really went beyond all expectations. We found both beautiful places and beautiful people (we have been really pleasantly surprised by the kindness of South Africans). We felt having a second honeymoon after 29 years of marriage. I will strongly recommend you to our friends if they want to organize a tour of South Africa."

"We stayed in the lodge for 3 nights for our first safari experience. The lodge is beautiful, designed by Maria, the owner. The rooms have beautiful canopy beds, stunning bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers and an outdoor hot tub which is deliciously warm and very enjoyable after a long safari drive. Everything we needed was taken care of by the very helpful and friendly staff, including all meals and safari drives. We only eat kosher and there was a full kosher kitchen where the chef made us delicious kosher food. What more can I say? If you are seeking an amazing place to stay, this is it!"

" Dear Adrian, Jayme, and Monika The dust has settled and we have been home just under a week and somehow our Safari feels as distant in time as it was in actual kilometers from here. Every member of the family had the most delightful time and we are all so very enriched by our experiences both with family interaction and magical wild Africa. We couldn’t have done it without you! Kosher travel is complicated at the best of times but put 26 people together with food allergies and preferences are thrown into the mix, it’s super complicated! Adrianne and Aron did a fantastic job of seeing to each and every need and Monika ably managed our daily ragtag timekeeping and always changing schedules with a smile and grace (an absolute Saint!!). Jayme you were our girl champion with our haggling to make this dream affordable and all the bookings, schedules and admin that goes with it right down to details like mozzie machines, superb! Our chef did us proud! Our accommodation was comfortable and our drivers so pleasant and obliging, it all came together magnificently. An enormous thank you goes to the whole team, especially Monika, for our last night finale celebratory dinner: the location, the table, the dancers, the food. This was the seminal memory for all of us (including of course the big five that we were lucky enough to see). David’s children had just announced to him his 70th birthday gift that they had been working on for a year. A most meaningful and great honour and very emotional for all of us, especially David, and then straight into this beautiful party!!!

Thank you all for forever memories and a time of joyful togetherness and no fuss from our part at all as you took care of everything!

Gratefully yours, Amber & David "

"Hi Sunet, I want to let you know that our Safari was the most amazing experience ever! The safari lodge was gorgeous and the service was beyond anything we have ever experienced. Overall we had an amazing time and have just shared our itinerary with friends getting married shortly. I also wanted to let you know that we were blown away by the food that Totally Kosher provided. All the food was delicious, wrapped with precision and care, and the portion sizes were very generous.

We wanted to thank you guys again for helping us have an absolutely incredible honeymoon and hope to work with you again in the future.

All the best, Dan"

"Hi, Adrian We are getting back to a more normal schedule here in Baltimore. Noah and I have regaled our friends with tales of our adventures in the past few days. I just want to write to you before our grandchildren arrive this afternoon. Needless to say, our overall experience from my first telephone conversation with you months ago, through Jayme-Leigh and Reynard being so responsive to our every question, to all the transfers and memorable experiences we had throughout the trip, was beyond excellent. We learned, we laughed, and we loved every day. The itinerary and the agenda and the safari guides/drivers and the properties were wonderful. Feel free to use us as a reference because we loved the adventures and services you provided and will be glad to tell others."

"Everything was perfect! We had a great time. Trying to talk my wife into doing it next year (fingers crossed)! Doug and I appreciate all your efforts."

"I just want to thank you for all readiness and support given during our booking process. We are very pleased with our choice of working with you and Tourism That Cares and for sure will be our choice in the upcoming trips."

My experience with Luxury African Safaris was exceptional, the way everything was planned was brilliant, costumer service was amazing always trying to make the costumer happy with all needs, hotels were fantastic, the kosher food we had in the safaris and different cities was really enjoyable, overall I would 100% recommend this company for you next trip to Africa.

Our trip was fabulous. Certainly one of the most memorable our family has ever taken. We've been raving about it to our friends and family.

What can we say – absolutely amazing trip!  We all had a trip of a lifetime and want to thank you for the wonderful, well thought out and seamless itinerary and organization.

Our trip has come to an end and we would like to thank you for all your hard work and patience! We really enjoyed the trip and were very glad that you were there for our assistance all the time.

We had an amazing trip, it was really wonderful! Thank you very much, well done!

“The group really enjoyed the safari and the free upgrade to a more luxurious lodge was amazing.”

“Thank you for all the great effort and patience you put in our vacation. I think I speak for the group of us when I say this: It was PERFECT.”

“Hi Mark, just wanted to thank you for your perfect organization. Great choices (Tuningi safari lodge and The Residence hotel) and great service. We had a great time.Thank you again.”

Pleased to say we had an excellent and trouble free trip, everything worked well, timings were good and the gluten free diets were well looked after. Kambaku Safari was very good and our grandchildren were well received, our guide JJ and tracker Reenius were excellent and enjoyed answering the Boy's questions. We did not see the white lions, but we did see the 'big five' and all our game viewings were spectacular. These included a leopard eating her catch, a steenbok, and watching her carry and store the remainder of her catch up a marula tree. We also observed two young male lions eating and guarding their catch, a giraffe which they had killed, and the growing audience of hyenas and vultures. Our ten year old grandson has had a great interest in the aarvark since he was small and we were all most excited to see one of these elusive creatures on our last evening drive. The Royal Livingstone Hotel was also excellent and lives up to it's five star status and, of course, this stay was all the more special as our daughter spent our first night with us at this splendid hotel. The paperwork for our grandchildren had been carefully prepared and so caused no problems, the main interest was in the birth certificates. Paperwork was checked seven times, starting at Heathrow. All in all a very successful trip. Our sincere thanks for helping us and organizing all the transfers which worked so well. Warm Regards,

To sum up our trip: you provided us with a wonderful and memorable trip. All things ran smoothly. We were pampered and well taken care of. I have already begun telling people in Israel about the trip and I can't wait to get back to sing your praises. Once again thank you and we look forward to working with you again.

“Your passion for this nation, its people, its beauty is so evident. You put up with a lot of special requests and we appreciate your immense patience in the planning of this trip.”

“Hi Adrian. First of all I want to tell you Thank you very much for your advice about Tswalu. It was amazing trip, we enjoyed so much. Very beautiful Hotel with great service, very kind people working there and of course amazing Safari!!! We fell in love in South Africa!!! Amazing country!!! With big pleasure we come back again and I hope you will help us to organize our new trip and show us amazing places in your country!!! Thanks a lot for your help!!!”

“The best honeymoon ever, and beyond our expectations. If we compare the value to experiences back home, then it’s an absolute bargain for the very high levels of service and comfort. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to pop champagne on Paarl Rock and show us your favourite wineries.”

“I just wanted to thank you for helping to make our trip to South Africa a truly memorable one. We are forever grateful to you for making that happen."

"We just want to take this opportunity to express our gratitude for your professional expertise and personal time investment with our family holiday. It was an outstanding trip with top class service throughout and world class safaris. We are excited about sharing our adventures with numerous friends and colleagues who consult with us on advice for travelling when we return. We confident that you will have many prospective clients on your roster in coming seasons!"

“We want to thank you once again for all the efforts involved in making this a perfect holiday for the 4 of us. I scrolled through our correspondence to see the dynamics of how the trip was built and was impressed by your ability to assess our needs and cater to them in such a precise manner. We appreciated immensely the fact that both of you came out to be with us and the little touches such as the Graceland children experience enhanced the outcome such as champagne at the top of the hill... If there is anything we can do to assist promoting your business do not hesitate, either on your site or people requesting references-we are at your service.”

“Hi Adrian, We had a wonderful experience with the Inyati team :-) We saw the big five! :-) Keith was simply great and he even found lion cubs for us to see - truly a perfect moment :-) Thank you so much for your help and guidance - we hope to come back some day. kind regards”

“The Okavango Delta, Victoria Falls, Garden Route and Cape Town where all seamlessly arranged in a well prepared package, with excellent attention to detail. Thank you for making this a trip of a lifetime.”
