They are the best!!!! Do not hesitate to contact them We booked our safari and part of our South Africa trip through Max, and honestly it was one of the best decisions of the whole journey. At first I was a bit nervous about booking something so important from another country — where we’re from you always hear about scams — but from day one Max was incredibly attentive, transparent, and patient with every single question we had. He helped us choose the lodge based on what we really wanted (wildlife viewing and an authentic safari experience), and the safari ended up being the absolute highlight of our trip. Everything ran smoothly, even when unexpected changes came up — Max handled it quickly and professionally, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Beyond the logistics, what stood out most was how supported we felt the entire time. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients having an unforgettable experience. We’re beyond grateful and would recommend Max and Andy 100% to anyone planning a safari. Truly an amazing experience from start to finish. Something else to highlight: the custom itinerary and the interface website they create.

Becks safari Lodge booked through Sabi Sand Reservations We stayed at Becks Safari Lodge for three days and loved every moment. What especially stood out was the outstanding level of genuine friendliness, and a feeling that there is a sense of camaraderie evident, which made us feel like family.

Easy to book, good communication. We booked our stay through African Travel Consultants as they were able to reserve us a 3 day game drive at fairly short notice for the dates we wanted (booked in mid Feb) at the wonderful Arathusa Lodge in Sabi Sands game reserve in Kruger National. We were assisted by Max who was very helpful and great at keeping us informed during the booking and payment procedure. Payment was easy and the Lodge and the game drives did not disappoint.

Great experience working with Max at African Travel Consultants Max was very helpful throughout my entire honeymoon planning process. My wife and I appreciated his prompt replies and thorough research. We had multiple calls with him and a running WhatsApp thread where we felt comfortable asking ant question, big or small. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week trip to Cape Town, Sabi Sands (loved the Earth Lodge), and Benguerra Island. We had so many memories from each portion of the trip. I would recommend talking to Max if considering a safari vacation but want to offload the planning to the experts. This was the perfect solution for us and his package pricing was not only better compared with other companies. On top of that, we felt the level of service was higher as well.

Mr. Andy made my dream come true, luxury lodges...here we come! Mr. Andy from African Travel Consultants made my dream come true. My husband treated me to a weekend away in the Sabi Sand. I used to hear about luxury lodges in this reserve and I look at the pictures and dream about them. Mr. Andy booked a suite for us at Lion Sand, I never imagined a place to be so pretty and the staff so helpful and professional. I see this company has a negative comment on their profile and I cannot belive it for a second. There must be something fishy here, no guest wanting to relax and experience luxury treatment would complain like that. I'm really happy I found Mr. Andy and from now on, he is our trusted travel advisor. I'm ready to explore more with ATC. Thank you Mr. Andy

African Travel Consultants made our trip very memorable. African Travel Consultant was there every step of the way, they found us a great lodge in Kruger National Park and they made sure our children were catered for. They even arranged a birthday celebration for my wife. Andy & Max, thank you so much for making our trip to Kruger a memorable experience.

Memories of a life time! It was my first ever Safari trip and it was really fun and a memorable one. Shoutout to Max who designed the 4 days 3 nights itinerary for me which strikes a good balance. I get to experience both Sabi Sands Private Reserve & Kruger National Park and managed to see all the big 5 :) Would definitely recommend for first timers alike and would definitely come back!
