I have worked with several tour guides for planning, coordination and actual tours in Johannesburg, Kruger and Cape town, found each one of the member I interacted with Africa Incoming has been friendly, accommodating and prioritized in giving us the best service.

“Excellent service and well-planned trip”. Our guide FALDIE made this trip more memorable!
We recently booked our vacation through AFRICA INCOMING , and it exceeded our expectations. The team carefully understood our preferences and created a personalized itinerary that covered all the must-visit places. The accommodations were comfortable, transportation was punctual, and the overall experience was seamless. Our guide Mr. Feldie was truly memorable. From the very beginning, he was friendly. He is very knowledgeable and well-organized, making the entire journey smooth and enjoyable. His deep understanding of the history and culture of each place added so much value, turning simple sightseeing into a meaningful experience. The game drive in Kruger was definitely the highlight, and the arrangements were seamless. Transfers were always on time, and the team was very responsive whenever we needed assistance. It felt like every detail was taken care of. For AFRICA INCOMING safety and comfort were also clearly a priority for us. Their professionalism and attention to detail truly made our trip memorable. Will definitely book again and will recommend to others too.
