Overall Flamingo Did an Excellent Job
Mr. Chinmay shah
This was our first visit to South Africa with Flamingo. I don't know how to begin with because it was an amazing experience. Our tour went extremely well! Everything was well organized. All the private transfers were on time. The hotels were very good. The food was very good (good food=good mood) Overall Flamingo did an excellent job, setting everything up. It was money well spent! I will certainly recommend Flamingo to my friends and family in the future if we plan other such trips. Thank you Nipa for putting together a well-organized and memorable trip for us. Last but not least I’d like to thank our tour guide, Mr. Paras Shah, 👍🏻 he was on his toes throughout the journey.

South Africa Tour Was Excellent
Mr. Jitendra Mehta
My family and I enjoyed a great 12-day tour. The itinerary was excellent, the quality of hotels, Indian food, the comfort and the warmth, knowledge & charm of our guide Mr. Darshakbhai were all perfect! Extremely happy with this tour and highly recommendable to anyone that wants to enjoy the Wildlife & Adventure at its fullest. We were fortunate to see almost all of the animals in their natural habitats: leopard, elephants, giraffes, zebras, rhinos, hippos, buffalo, ostrich. Cape Town is the most beautiful city I have ever visited: 360-degree views of mountains and coastline; the penguins. Take a good camera with a good zoom lens. It’s been a truly breath-taking and awesome experience and we highly recommend Flamingo Travels to anybody who wants to travel to Africa.
