What a tour it was! - The whole thing was so good. I can't wait to visit S.A under the guide of Socioolight again. May God bless you. I got to know key places in S.A which was awesome. This helped me be part of the beautiful history of this amazing country. I now fully understand what Nelson Mandela means to S.A. He indeed deserves to be revered everywhere. I am inspired to put my country before anything else. The love for my neighbour matters more than I thought. S.A has a rich heritage that mekes everyone proud of his/her motherland.

A bespoke, one-of-a-kind service - Shaun with the Socioolite Group was incredible and made sure everything was lined up. He’s very responsive while on tours and if anything does happen, he’s there to make sure and handle it for you with the guides, venues, hotels, etc. He’ll work well within your budget and does a great job accommodating to your preferences to create a custom experience. Whether taking a safari, planning a dinner and getting a reservation to a tough spot, a day trip for excursions, winelands, etc - he leaves no stone unturned to make sure you have the best experience. We used him for our honeymoon and would recommend him if you’re looking to plan and navigate any and all kinds of travel in South Africa.

Professional and impeccable service - Professional and impeccable service since the first contact until the end of the 5 days tour. Socioolite Travel & Tours team work really well to find the best solutions to match my expectations and fit my budget (transfers, hotels, tours and safari games). I hardly recommend this company.

Different from all other safari options, a unique experience in Sabi Sands and Kruger! - As travelers from another country, trusting people and making upfront payments can feel uncertain. However, Shaun and his team provided us with one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives. We enjoyed two different safari adventures in Sabi Sands and Kruger Park—one on paved roads with a more distant view of the animals, and the other an off-road journey offering a more exclusive experience. Our guide, Mylord, was incredibly kind and went above and beyond to help us spot the wildlife. A big thank you to Shaun and his team for making our holiday truly extraordinary!
