South African vacation non pareil
We had a fantastic experience with Rhino Africa as designed by Daniella Fraser our agent. It was second to none of our travels over the past 2 decades. We fell in love with South Africa a year ago May 2025 and planned this trip in May 2026 in June of 2025. We loved every minute of it and cannot wait to plan next trip. The itinerary, planning and communications were impeccable. We visited Cape Town, the wine country of Franshoukk, and Londolozi. The lodging was spectacular with great service and ground transfers timely and very accommodating. It was just sensational. Can't say enough good things about Daniella's service. We highly recommend Rhino Africa to our friends and family.

Hello Robert,
Thank you for placing your trust in us.
Stepping from the vibrant energy of Cape Town into the tranquil beauty of the Winelands, before settling beneath the ancient trees of Londolozi, is a journey defined by beautiful contrasts. Seeing those moments flow so seamlessly, from ocean horizons to untamed wilderness, is exactly what makes an African adventure so special.
We look forward to welcoming you back whenever Africa calls again.
Kind regards,

First class safari experience
We travelled to Nairobiand from there to Kilimanjaro airport. From there, we went to three camps: Oliver’s, Sayari, and Rekero.
The booking process was transparent and easy. Justine accommodated to our specific itinerary ands dietary restrictions. The arrangements worked well. We were greeted promptly at each location.
The only tedious part of the process was the trip from Camp Sayari in Tanzania to Camp Rekero in Kenya. It required multiple legs (short flight from Sayari to a border town; ground transport across border; 2nd flight to reach Rekero). We were not aware in advance that this travel would be so complex.
Other than this one aspect, the trip was wondrous! We had a highly memorable safari with amazing service at every location.

Hello Satish,
Thank you for entrusting us with your East African journey and for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback.
From the wilderness of Tanzania to the iconic plains of the Maasai Mara, your itinerary captured some of East Africa's most remarkable landscapes and wildlife experiences. We're delighted to hear that Justine's planning, the seamless arrangements, and the warm welcomes along the way all contributed to such a memorable safari.
We also appreciate your feedback regarding the cross-border transfer. It's a valuable reminder of how important it is to set clear expectations for these unique logistics, and we'll certainly keep this in mind for future journeys.
May the memories of your safari stay with you for years to come.
Kind regards,

The Trip of a Lifetime Thanks to Tara Beckett & Rhino Africa
Planning our first trip to Africa felt overwhelming at first, but Tara Beckett at Rhino Africa made the entire process effortless.
From our very first conversation, Tara listened to exactly what we were looking for and created an itinerary that exceeded every expectation. We spent time in Cape Town, the Winelands, Londolozi in Sabi Sands, and Victoria Falls, and every destination was perfectly chosen. The accommodations were exceptional, the transfers and internal flights were seamless, and every detail was thoughtfully coordinated. We truly felt taken care of from the moment we landed in Cape Town until the day we flew home.
The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly Londolozi, but every stop had something unique and unforgettable to offer. It was clear that Tara's expertise and firsthand knowledge went into every recommendation.
Throughout the planning process, Tara was incredibly responsive, patient, and organized. She answered all of our questions, offered thoughtful suggestions, and made what could have been a complicated international trip completely stress-free.
If you're considering a safari or your first trip to Southern Africa, I can't recommend Tara Beckett and Rhino Africa highly enough. Thanks to Tara, we had the trip of a lifetime, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with her again.

Hello Kyle,
Your trust in taking this inaugural leap across Southern Africa with us means everything.
Designing a journey that captures the true essence of each destination, from sweeping coastal drives and tranquil wine valleys to the untamed magic of the bush and the thunder of the falls, is always an incredible privilege. Hearing how effortlessly every transition unfolded and how deeply the wilderness at Londolozi resonated makes the entire process immensely rewarding.
Thank you for allowing us to be part of such unforgettable memories. Whenever the wild calls you back for your next adventure, we will be ready to welcome you with open arms.

Tanzanian safari: an amazing experience
Our safari in Tanzania was excellent and exceeded all expectations. Our Kibo guide, Hassan was organised by our Rhino Africa representative Ian. Hassan took us to many vantage sights to be close to all types of animals. Thanks to his knowledge and experience we have many action photos of giraffes, elephants, lions, hippos, wildebeests, zebras and more.
Our accommodation was well organised and very comfortable. Our dietary requirements were addressed at six different locations without any issues. The food was of a high standard, and we loved the lunch time "picnics" we had during the day provided by the various lodges after breakfast. We always felt safe at our accommodation and during our travels even though some roads are rough. We really enjoyed the friendly nature of the Tanzanian staff, who were always helpful and polite. This was an amazing experience and we will recommend strongly Rhino Africa and the KIbo Guides when we talk with others about it.

Dear Judith,
We are absolutely thrilled to hear about your incredible Tanzanian adventure.
Hassan’s brilliant ability to position you perfectly in the heart of the wild shines through beautifully. Witnessing Africa’s majestic wildlife so closely makes for unforgettable moments, and knowing your camera is now filled with those dynamic, close-up memories brings a massive smile to our faces.
Ensuring you felt completely secure, comfortable, and well-nourished throughout your journey is always our utmost priority. It is wonderful to know every lodge looked after your dietary needs so seamlessly and that those bush picnics added a touch of magic to your daily explorations. The warmth and hospitality of the Tanzanian people truly are the heart of any safari, and we are so glad their gentle spirit made such a lasting impression on you.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us and for recommending our team to your friends and family. Your trust means the world to us, and we would be absolutely delighted to craft another spectacular journey for you whenever the wild calls you back.
Kind regards,
The Rhino Africa team
A family holiday experience not to be forgotten
Our family loved the lodges that we stayed in as well as the rangers that drove us around the camps. The food was delicious and accommodated our dietary needs for which we are very grateful. Everything went so smoothly including flights and pick ups. Thank you for the detailed information necessary for trips in Southern Africa. I will most certainly recommend friends to book with Rhino Africa. Much appreciation.

The wilderness has a unique way of creating lasting bonds, especially when spent in the care of passionate guides who bring the bush to life. Having every detail—from regional connections to bespoke dining—align perfectly allowed your family to focus entirely on immersing yourselves in these remarkable moments.

Working with Tara and her team to plan…
Working with Tara and her team to plan our trip to Africa was truly one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, Tara helped create an experience that felt thoughtful, seamless, and deeply personal.
Our safari in Tanzania was absolutely unforgettable. Every detail, from the camps to the transfers to the overall flow of the itinerary, felt carefully considered. We were able to fully be present and take in the magic of the experience because so much had already been handled for us.
The safari itself was life-changing. Seeing the wildlife, the landscapes, and the rhythm of each day unfold was something I'll never forget. It was the kind of trip that stays with you long after you come home.
I'm so grateful for the care that went into planning this trip. It was more than a vacation. It was one of the most meaningful travel experiences of our lives, and I would recommend Tara and her team wholeheartedly to anyone dreaming of a trip to Africa.

Hello Rachel,
Entrusting us with such a chapter of your travels is a privilege we hold in the highest regard.
Savouring the untamed beauty of East Africa requires a rare kind of stillness. It is wonderful to know you immersed yourselves so completely in the natural rhythm of the savannah, leaving behind all distractions to simply exist in those quiet, awe-inspiring moments. Tanzania possesses a unique magic that lingers long after the dust settles, and knowing those vast landscapes still resonate with you back home brings immense joy to us all.
Your decision to share your journey so warmly with other aspiring travellers is the most meaningful compliment we could hope to receive.

First rate advisor and experience!
Our advisor was Landy, and she could not have been better at helping with the thousand details that went into our trip. We were met at every destination with transportation and guides. Our main destination was Londolozi private game preserve South Africa...and it was out of the park AMAZING. The lodging spectacular, the guides knowledgable, the wildlife incredibly close up to view, and even the food outstanding. Wonderful experience.

Stepping into the wilderness of Londolozi is always magic, but hearing that the wildlife encounters, the exceptional cuisine, and the bush hospitality came together so perfectly makes it even more special.

Third trip with Tara at Rhino Africa
This was our third trip with Rhino Africa, and our most incredible trip yet!! Our travel agent, Tara, did a spectacular job planning our trip and our trip exceeded our expectations! We were able to spot all of the Big 5, and the cheetah and leopards which had been elusive on our first two visits. Our accommodations were spectacularly luxurious! All of the representatives were timely and friendly, and the drivers were as well. We felt safe and secure at all times. We would 1,000 percent recommend Rhino Africa to anyone wanting to visit and we thank Tara for planning another trip with memories to last a lifetime!!! Blessings from Tracy and GT!!

Seamless Organization and Excellent Recommendations
This was our third trip (2017,2023 and 2026) curated by Rhino Africa and all three have been impeccable. We worked with Daniela all three times. We have the combination of US Tourist needs while also having the high expectations that come from being South African. On all three occasions, Daniela helped us land on the right choice of lodges (typically two per trip) and then make everything seamless from there. As a road warrior of note, I am used to making my own travel arrangements for some pretty complex trips and I could do all of this by myself. What Rhino Africa adds is the up to date local knowledge of the lodges and how to make all the flights and transfers work. We recommend RA to all our acquaintances thinking of a trip to Africa and we are already thinking about our nextt trip.

Welcoming you back for a third time is the highest compliment, Rob. Thank you very much for the trust and support; what a privilege! Crafting a journey that satisfies both the discerning expectations of a native South African and the specific comforts of a US traveller is a wonderful creative challenge, and we are thrilled that all three experiences have been utterly flawless.
As someone well-versed in navigating complex global travel, your decision to hand the reins to us speaks volumes. While pulling the logistical pieces together is one thing, layering it with real-time, on-the-ground insights and ensuring every border, flight, and transfer aligns perfectly is where the magic truly happens. Finding that perfect balance of lodges for you each time has been an absolute pleasure.
We are incredibly grateful for your continued advocacy and for recommending us to your circle. Thank you. Your support inspires us, and we look forward to collaborating on your fourth African chapter whenever you are ready.

Amazing trip
We had an amazing experience with Rhino Africa. We were a group of 6 women traveling together and at every point, we were me on time and with courtesy. All the drivers taking to/from airport were waiting when we landed and helped with luggage etc. The guides were amazing, proving historical input as well as fun activities. This was a trip we will remember for a long time and with the help of Rhino Africa, it was low stress and completely enjoyable. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a good experience in South Africa.

Can’t recommend them enough
Janine was a wizard in organizing logistics and helped me to optimize my itinerary to get the most out of my trip. I loved every moment of it. We ended up traveling to 4 countries with over 20 flight hops, and her logistical planning was flawless, making it one of the most relaxed trips I’ve taken. The camps and destinations she recommended were all amazing, making the trip a magical one. I could not recommend her and the agency enough. She was also meticulous in helping me prepare and answering all my questions. Her responses were prompt and detailed. Having never been to the places I visited, I felt well prepared. We also had to make some changes to the itinerary before the trip, and she made them happen and shuffled the itinerary seamlessly. Overall, we had an amazing experience all thanks to her and the agency.
