Ntaba was wonderful to work with, they helped me plan a custom private tour for my clients who were thrilled with the results. I was especially impressed when things went wrong, the client accidentally left her passport on the transfer vehicle when arriving in South Africa at 11:30pm. I was able to get a hold of team members at Ntaba and within 12 hours she had it back in her possession! That is a great support system you can count on!

As a travel advisor, I’ve worked with Ntaba African Safaris to plan several safaris for my clients, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Their professionalism and organization are top-notch—every itinerary is thoughtfully designed, and logistics are always seamless. The team is incredibly responsive and always available to answer questions or jump on a Zoom call, which makes the planning process smooth and stress-free. My clients consistently rave about their experiences, describing their safaris as “the trip of a lifetime.” The overwhelmingly positive feedback and repeat bookings speak volumes. If you want a safari planning partner who is reliable, communicative, and truly cares about delivering exceptional experiences, Ntaba is the best choice!

Ntaba knows how to take you to Africa because they are natives to South Africa. Their passion for Africa shines through, not just because it's their business, but because it's their home. You can tell the owners and the guides have a true passion for sharing their home with others. They've established incredible relationships with the local businesses, tour vendors, and locals to the point, it seemed everywhere we went, our group leader was greeted with either a big smile, a hug, handshake or all of the above. I felt we were in good hands because of this. I would trust them with my Africa travel any day because it's their home and because of the incredible network of relationships they've established in each of their destinations.

We had an amazing time in South Africa and Zimbabwe with Ntaba African Safaris. The itinerary was well planned in that it offered a variety of experiences in each place, and the time we had in each place was ample enough to enjoy each experience. Visiting Africa has been a lifeline bucket list item and I am so thankful to Ntaba for making it a truly amazing experience.

Stella and her staff were absolutely fantastic in arranging our first African Safari. Their attention to detail was superb and our resulting experience was even better. Starting in Johannesburg with a wonderful boutique hotel then on to Victoria Falls, Savute Safari Lodge, Camp Okavango, then Camp Moremi, our memories will last a lifetime. Each step was carefully orchestrated with each Camp’s staffs fully briefed and prepared for our arrival. We saw tons of animals and made lifelong friends with other travelers from around the world. Great experience. I would encourage everyone to go at least once and ANTABA African Safaris is a great provider. Jim & Toni McIntyre

The itinerary, the local guides, the wildlife, and the amazing new friends made, were all fantastic. The experiences were positively life changing. The sunrises and sunsets were stunning. My daughter and I experienced what we know was the trip of lifetime, and we are grateful. If you are thinking about a trip to Africa, stop thinking and do it!

Traveling to a foreign country for the first time can be intimidating. That’s why it’s so important to be guided by an expert, such as Ntaba African Safaris. From the itinerary of curated experiences to the sharing of knowledge of the area and the culture, they lead us on a wonderful journey that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Robin and Des are great ambassadors for this amazing country.

A typical day on safari:

Each morning, expect an early wake-up call. Gather for refreshments before heading out at the first light. The “big cats” may still be around after their night of hunting. Game drives are conducted in open game vehicles with your skilled ranger and tracker, allowing you to observe the diverse wildlife of Africa. Between your morning and afternoon game drives, have some free time to relax or be treated at the Spa. Late afternoon, convene for high tea before departing for the day’s second African Bush Safari. Enjoy a sundowner drink along the way, step out of the vehicle to stretch your legs, and take in the sunset. Return to the lodge for dinner.
