Alexandra’s Africa Safaris - Southampton

Macy Rocky

My husband and I just came back from our honeymoon and it was definitely a trip of a lifetime. This company is outstanding and top notch from beginning to end and exceeded all expectations. Made our honeymoon personalised with special surprises at each place we went to. The safari drives were over the top and the accomodations are all so unique and beautiful. All Itinerary arrangements and transfers were excellent. It was well organised and the communication was excellent—answered questions and concerns quickly. Special thanks to Alexandra for being amazing and curated the perfect safari holiday.

All I can say is the best , Alexandra was very attentive to all our queries , very responsive & helpful , everything was ready 3 months before our trip . Our lodges were the best , everything was the best . I gave Alexandra's Africa Safari's 10 star & Alexandra is the best agent ever . We love everything she prepared for our trip.

Alexandra gave us a wonderful , hands on personalised experience. She has a passion for what she does and it shows in the care and attention she devotes to our needs. We had a 7 day safari across three locations, it was a very small group and very personalised , the locations were great , we saw a huge range of things from safaris to caves ( with a few wine tastings thrown in) . The accommodation was excellent , and people were very friendly.

Alexandra was extremely flexible, if the the timetable occasionally needed a little reshuffle it was done easily to ensure that we saw as much as we could . It really felt as if we had an attentive host rather than being on an organised event . She is also great fun to be with.

It really was terrific and and gave me a real sense of South Africa - I look forward to returning

My trip with Alexandra’s Africa changed the way I see the world. Alexandra’s intimate knowledge of Southern Africa allows her to curate a trip that inspires you to look beyond what a typical tourist sees and immerse yourself in local culture. You’ll share experiences with locals that call Alexandra a friend, allowing you to see Southern Africa in a uniquely intimate way.
Alexandra held my hand with patience as we planned this trip of a lifetime for my family, and she tailored each detail of our trip with expert knowledge and insight. There was not one day during my family’s month long odyssey that I wasn’t greeted with culture, sights, wildlife and people that took my breath away.
I’ll always be grateful to Alexandra, Sonja, and the entire team at Alexandra’s Africa; the trip they curated was truly the trip of a lifetime.

We have just returned from 12 days in South Africa and Botswana where we were on the Alexandra’s Africa hosted Explorer 12 Safari and wow what an amazing holiday. We happen to come across this company while looking online and so glad we did. We chose the Explorer 12 as it included a trip to a camp in Botswana as well as staying at three other lodges/camps in Northern South Africa. We have been on a number of safaris throughout Southern Africa and this was most definitely the best. We stayed in four lodges/camps two of which were tented something we have always wanted to do. All were set in fabulous locations, with outstanding staff, food to die for and knowledgeable local guides although we all admitted that the Koro Island Camp set in the middle of the Limpopo River in Botswana was our favourite. Accessed by a rope bridge, with only 4 tents lit at night by paraffin lamps and the noise of the birds and animals all around you - it was a real `out of Africa` experience. The animal sightings in all the locations were brilliant and we saw almost every animal we could have imaged including some nocturnal e.g. Porcupine but being big cat fans the best had to be the lion cubs and cheetah brothers in Entebeni and the leopard cubs in Central Tuli (Koro). Animal sightings cannot be guaranteed but all the rangers/guides were excellent and tried their best to find as many as animals as possible on the game drives and bush walks. Their knowledge of birds and plant life was also exceptional. Alexandra accompanies you on the tour and is a fountain of knowledge from her experience both in the travel industry and her conservation work. As part of the tour we also spent a day in a local town experiencing the sights and sounds of Northern South Africa along with visits to local arts and crafts. You can even sample the local food if you wish although I confess I didn’t try the dried Mopane worms but our friends did. All in all this was an absolutely amazing holiday which must have taken a lot of preparation by Alexandra and her team. Our only complaint we have is that the bar has now been set so high for future holidays that I’m sure we will struggle to find a safari holiday on the same level. Our only answer to this is to book another trip with Alexandra’s Africa. Finally thank you to Alexandra, her team and all the staff in the camps and lodges we visited for making our holiday so special.

We enjoyed every minute of our trip to Africa. The planning process was seamless. Alexandra and her team put together a phenomenal trip for us ! I can’t thank her enough. We made memories that will last a lifetime! I cannot wait to go back !

Our African tour was a side trip that my sister and I came up with as an afterthought since we were in Mauritius for a golf tournament. We did not put much thought in it and trusted Alexandra with the details at a short notice. There were 4 of us.

What a relief! Alexandra tabled the itinerary very clearly and managed our expectations. We had several zoom meetings to discuss what to expect, what to do and what not to do. She followed up on the pre-safari checklist and answered all our questions. During the trip, she was always available for a call and took care of any missed timeline or concerns. She was on top of our trip, short of being with us.

We had very knowledgeable local guides and kept us informed and amused too. Shout out to Shelton in Zimbabwe and Sam in Botswana. They really made the trip memorable for us. They showed the best of the national parks. They do not lure animals for show. We discover what we can find and enjoy those moments watching the animals in their natural environment. On our trip to Victoria Falls, Shelton our guide kept us on track even with the pouring mist/rain. Then he made us backtrack to the viewing points to enjoy the double rainbow when most of the tourists have already gone. That was priceless.

Thank you Alexandra and team. The animals are safe from tourists in Zimbabwe and Botswana. Thank you for that.

If an African safari is on your bucket list, but you worry about being more of a managed tourist than an independent traveller, then Alexandra's Africa is probably for you. These are deeply personal, small-scale safaris that bring you right to the heart of South Africa - its incredible landscapes, rich wildlife and amazing people. Some of the safaris include bush-camps, but don't be put off by the idea of a tent - these are spacious, comfortable and with ensuite facilities, and nothing quite beats a bush sunrise complete with a giraffe grazing from a nearby tree. Highly recommended.
